The user can change his assessments at any time, because can rate as often as wants. Only the first assessment counts. The others only change the average evaluation, but not the number of assessments.
Where do I find Rating?
The feature is placed right at the article. There are two possibilities where it can be placed: next to the article title or in the StateBar.
Features of Rating
Rating is a star rating system with up to five stars. You can award an article by hovering over the stars with your pointer. The stars will fill with colour, depending on which star you are pointing. Depending on how much stars you want to give, just click on the appropriate star to confirm your rating. This means that the assessment will be counted in the number of assessments and also contributes to the average evaluation.
This proceeding can be repeated at will. After the first rating, the following assessments will not be counted as a new evaluation.
If the rating tool is positioned in the StateBar, you can also view your assessment for the article in addition to the average evaluation and the number of all assessments for the article. Open the details of the StateBar and your rating is displayed there.
Summary of Evaluations
There is a special page Special:Ratings where you can find an overview of all evaluations, which have been made in your wiki. Every column of this listing can be sorted ascending or descending.
