Talk:Volo's rating system

Categories for Rated Places
Do you think that we could create categories for buildings and roads and such based on Volo's ratings? I'd then like to see the categories automatically generated by the templates. For example: Category:Rated 3 coins by Volo.

For the "non-Volo" ratings, I'd like to see:
 * Category:Poor-quality establishments
 * Category:Fair-quality establishments
 * Category:Good-quality establishments
 * Category:Excellent-quality establishments
 * Category:Cheap establishments
 * Category:Moderately priced establishments
 * Category:Expensive establishments

As far as I know, only establishments&mdash;and not roads or neighborhood&mdash;are given the non-Volo ratings.

Thoughts?

 * Yes, but we don't have anything set up for "neighborhoods". Volo's ratings are only on the Building and Road templates at the moment, not Location (which I'm hesitant to include&mdash;are there many neighborhoods to be rated, or can they be done by their streets?), There are a couple ways of going about it. Let me think on it.


 * As for category names, how about they all start with "Rated" and not be limited to "establishments":
 * Category:Rated 3 coins by Volo
 * Category:Rated poor quality
 * Category:Rated expensively priced
 * And so on. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 16:30, February 25, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, I like starting everything with "Rated&hellip;" better. Good idea. I think that "price" is inherent to the words "cheap" and "expensive", so how about this:


 * Category:Rated poor quality
 * Category:Rated fair quality
 * Category:Rated good quality
 * Category:Rated excellent quality
 * Category:Rated cheap
 * Category:Rated moderately priced
 * Category:Rated expensive


 * As far as neighborhoods, I don't have any examples; I guess I had assumed that Volo rated them, but I'm not super familiar with his works. I only just started looking into them for my newer articles on Silverymoon. It's probably fine that the ratings only go with buildings and roads. (I don't even remember which roads use them, though I know that some do.)

 * I went with the easiest solution (without any input scrubbing or special templates) because it is very straightforward and similar to what we already had. See what you think. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 02:53, February 26, 2018 (UTC)
