With how the Ratings template is set up currently, it is not possible to attach citations to the ratings, as it ends up breaking the template due to it being an invalid value. I'd like citations to be attached to the ratings, similar to that of release dates and foreign dates, so that one can see where the rating of a form of media came from. If anyone has any suggestions on how to attach citations for ratings, let me know.

I've been thinking, as foreign name and dates are now required to be cited by this wiki, can ratings be required to be cited as well? It will encourage editors to add sources for the ratings we have on the wiki, which will allow viewers to see where we are getting the information for these ratings. I've already partially have implemented this for all of the TV series and films I could find ratings for, and would like this to apply for our game articles as well. I would make a proposal for this, but I don't want to feel obligated to construct one. [[User:Maw-Ray Master|Maw-Ray Master]] ([[User talk:Maw-Ray Master|talk]]) 18:27, March 31, 2025 (EDT) | |||

Adding citations
With how the Ratings template is set up currently, it is not possible to attach citations to the ratings, as it ends up breaking the template due to it being an invalid value. I'd like citations to be attached to the ratings, similar to that of release dates and foreign dates, so that one can see where the rating of a form of media came from. If anyone has any suggestions on how to attach citations for ratings, let me know. Apikachu68 (talk) 15:09, March 21, 2025 (EDT)
Require citations for ratings?
I've been thinking, as foreign name and dates are now required to be cited by this wiki, can ratings be required to be cited as well? It will encourage editors to add sources for the ratings we have on the wiki, which will allow viewers to see where we are getting the information for these ratings. I've already partially have implemented this for all of the TV series and films I could find ratings for, and would like this to apply for our game articles as well. I would make a proposal for this, but I don't want to feel obligated to construct one. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 18:27, March 31, 2025 (EDT)
