The BIONICLE Wiki talk:Rating System

If you have a question about the rating system,post it here or ask Legodude760.

Individual Templates
Do we need individual templates for every user? Why not just one set of coding, on this page, which everyone must copy to their page, and LD760 just changes it on their page? ( Takuna 23:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Is it working?
It was a good idea, but is it really practical? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 00:01, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * What do you mean?- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 05:16, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I mean, has it really been helping keep track of ratings, or is it just taking up space? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 20:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah,it's working. Haven't had a chance to take away or add some points yet.- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 01:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Question
Hey, LD760, why is everybody still at zero? Daiku, yourself, myself, Tahkeh, Auserv... all of us either have done some major editing in the past or are doing it now. I did a bunch way before the rating system kicked in (right before you came), but I'm not doing much now. Will I have to work my way up from zero, starting now, or will I get credit for what I did in the past? ( Takuna 02:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm,I think people will have to work very hard to earn points. Partly because if my suggestion comes through,we may have too many admins. Partly,because I'm not always on. - L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 02:35, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we shouldn't count those times. Just to motovate people to work even more. Don't cha' think?- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 02:39, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, this isn't really a reward system. It's just to show how good of a member you are - and I humbly consider myself to be a good member. (Of all my virtues, my greatest is humility.) But back to seriousness, I did a fair amount of editing right when you got on. And, even if your proposal passes, it shouldn't be super-hard to get points. Just being a good member should knock you up some, and if you do major article overhauls (like Auserv on Onua) you should go up some more. What I think:


 * (1-3) If you get on, check edits, do minor info adding and proofreading, you're an all-right member, and your rating should go up a few points to show it.
 * (4-6) If you go check a majority of edits for their veractiy, do article overhauls, and go through wantedpages to find out what articles are needed, you're a good member.
 * (7+) If you've been on a while, you've been a fairly major contributer, and come up with a good idea that's been successfully implemented, you're an extraordinary member.
 * So, it's not as much ,you do something good, you go up a point, you do something bad, you go down a point, it's taking a wider view. I'm not looking at negatives, but it would be an opposite - disagreeable, bad, dastardly. Anyways, that's my opinion on the rating system - sorry for the long post.

 * Hey,that's pretty cool! I'll have to think about it tommorow though,I have stuff to do right now.- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 02:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea, Takuna. But I personally don't think you should be an admin if you get to 10. On BZP, which is where we got this idea from in the first place, getting full proto just means you become an Oustanding BZPower Citizen. All that happens then is that you get a Copper Huna mailed to you and a Copper Huna next to your username. We would have way too many admins--once Vladius Magnum gets demoted and I get promoted, we'll have three active admins, which should be enough till we get a few dozen more members.

LD760's Newest Proposal
Sounds good to me. Then on the first of every month, you can change the ratings and I can change the user of the month. But one thing--if someone vandalizes or something, you should lower their rating immediately. They shouldn't be able to get away with it with no consequences till the new months rolls around.
