Ratings and recommendations

< Manual:Extension(Redirected from Page ratings)


The extension BlueSpiceRating allows users to rate a page with up to five stars or to recommend the page.

Rating or recommending a page

A user simply selects the amount of stars for a rating. The number of stars are then hightlighted in yellow during the selection process. A mouse-click confirms the rating.

Only one rating per user is counted. New votes only change the average evaluation, but not the number of ratings.

Users can change their rating at any time by choosing less or more stars. The average evaluation, as well as the number of ratings is shown next to the page title:
