Summary: Access to ratings difficult, leading to
"dummy-ratings"
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guitar
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: ReaderFeedback
AssignedTo: jschulz_4...@msn.com
ReportedBy: g.m.haged...@gmail.com
The only possible access to previous ratings seems to be after rating a page.
In this case, the rating is shown on top and
"Thank you for reviewing this page! (see results) (comments or questions?)."
with see results linking to
http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RatingHistory&target=Guitar
and comments linking to
http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Guitar&action=edit§ion=new
----
a) A link in the rating box at the bottom of the page itself would be
desirable. Presently there is not access to inform oneself about other readers
opinions without actually forming an opinion oneself. While it is desirable to
have as many well-founded ratings as possible, it is not desirable to have
dummy-ratings because users have to enter an ill-founded rating to be able to
see other peoples ratings
"What do you think of this page? - Please take a moment to rate this page
below. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve our website."
Might be changed to:
"What do you think of this page? - Please take a moment to rate it. Your
feedback is valuable and helps us improve our website. (Previous ratings)"
----
b) It would be desirable to support short URLs like
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special:RatingHistory/Guitar to simplify linking
