KeenWiki - rating system for mods

Malvineous · Post by **Malvineous** » Thu Sep 26, 2013 6:32

It would be great to have someone go through all the mod pages and update those that don't yet have an infobox. It's basically a copy and paste job to get an infobox on there with a vote button, with a little extra effort if you want to populate the stats like the number of levels. You might not be the mod author, but anything is better than nothing

It would be nice to put the vote result on the big list of mods, but I don't think the voting system can do that at the moment. It's a good idea though so I'll think about it.

Also FYI we have a total of 98 votes so far from eight different people.

Ehhhh... Editing the wiki isn't as easy as tic-tac-toe, but I'm working on it...

EDIT: Commander Keen at Ballican IV, Attack of the Silurians, and The Pyramid of the Allowed can now be voted upon. I'll add more info later. Levelpacks without all egaheads are a pain...

EDIT: How Bleen Saved Kwanzaa is up for voting, too.

looks nice, I like the implementation. I'm personally not much interested in votings of that kind, but could be useful for newcomers. Usually I'd say those votings will only make the highest voted games played and the middle class won't even be downloaded and tried anymore. But then again this is Keen. The most popular mods are played by around 50 people anyway so I don't think there's much harm to be done.

What a depressing and true statement.

I'll make it my mission to play and complete every 1-star mod.

Please take a couple of screenshots when you do so those mods have images for the infobox

Actually the Big Three (TUIT) have been played by the hundreds if not thousands. Word about them really spread around.

Can we have separate ratings for art, levels, and music?

Malvineous · Post by **Malvineous** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 9:47

Not with the current voting system - it was designed as a way to rate pages, so it can only handle one rating per page. But if you total your art, level and music scores and divide it by three you can use that figure for your vote

Oh, so it's actually a rating of the articles, not the mods? In that case, all the empty stubs deserve the 0 stars they got and the inability to rate them higher.

Malvineous · Post by **Malvineous** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 20:40

Technically yes, but we're using it to rate mods since each mod gets its own page. The stubs only have a rating of zero because nobody has voted yet...

It's been a couple weeks, can we see how it'll look on the main page or wherever it'll go? Seeing the outcome may spark more votes anyway

Thanks for those(not here on PCKF!), who gave me 1 star for my mods. -.-

At least your mods got ratings Szemi!!!

Anyway, Yes to Ceilick's idea.
