{{stars}} —To display star ratings within the professional reviews section of Album infobox.
[edit] Usage
This template accepts up to 10 unnamed parameters having one of the values shown below:
| Symbol | Result | Description |
|---|---|---|
| * |  |
Full star |
| ¾ |  |
Three quarters star |
| ½ |  |
Half star |
| ¼ |  |
Quarter star |
| - |  |
No star |
The size of the stars in pixels can be given using the named parameter size. The default size is 11 pixels. An alternative text for the images may be supplied with the parameter alt. If no alternative text is given, the star symbols are concatenated to form an alt. text like "***--".
Not all users can easily type the vulgar fraction symbols. Instead, one may copy and paste them from the table above, or copy the following code and edit as needed:
{{stars|*|¾|½|¼|-}}
[edit] Example
| Code | Result |
|---|---|
| {{stars|*}} |  |

| {{stars|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*}} | |
| {{stars|size=25|alt=(1/3)|*|-|-}} | |

[edit] Too complicated
I think this is way too complicated for the average user, and moreso because of the issue about having to paste in the fraction symbols. (Wouldn't it be better if it recognised them in plain text too, e.g. "1/2"?). I think most people would find it easier to just remember the filenames than to use this. --kingboyk 17:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- There used to be a bug that made uploading images with slashes in their names difficult. I saw some comments that it may have been fixed now. If it is, it would be a simple matter to reupload the images. In any case, we're apparently about to get proper conditionals in MediaWiki syntax, and an expression evaluator too. Once that happens, this template can be rewritten properly, without all the ugly hacks. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 19:55, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
