Topic on Adventures in Odyssey Wiki:Town Hall2

Hi all, I've been working with Aiow, Harlow, and others on a spreadsheet for a binary (approve/disapprove) AIO rating system. I recently imported the data to one of my user subpages, User:Scientific Guy/Binary. I'll be keeping it there for the time being. However, I was wondering if this would be suitable for an AIOWiki feature (in the contents box on the main page). Does it look like something I could publish here? Thanks!

I'm don't think it should be part of the episode page. First of all we already have a rating on the wiki. Second if we add this rating system, then we open up the wiki to having any and all fan ratings. At this point I do not think that is something we want to. While it may be interesting to see how the wiki, scoop, binary, (that one I can't remember the name of where episodes are compared against each other), and others all rate various episodes, I do not think the episode page is a good place to do that. The episode information infobox is already a behemoth, and we really do not want to slow down the page generation with even more dpl include calls. That is not saying we can not have a page with a table that shows al the various ratings. In fact that wold be quite interesting, a pain to keep up to date, but quite cool. I just don't think other ratings should be on the episode pages, or album, or book, or product pages.

I didn't mean {{Infobox Episode Information}} or the individual episode pages. I meant a page such as Adventures in Odyssey Wiki:Binary that would have a link on Main Page, just as Episode Dispersion is linked on the main page. Think I'd be able to do that?

Oh. I understand now. Sure, I see no problem with that. I would change that page to name to something like Adventures in Odyssey Wiki:Binary Rating, but other than that sounds perfectly ok. I am curious as to why you have it under the Adventures in Odyssey Wiki namespace, why not simply in the main namespace? By any chance do you know of the fan built rating system I mentioned in that last post? My other question: How are you going to keep this binary rating updated? There are still lots of episodes that your reviewers have not rated yet. Do you have a system in mind, or just something you copy every so often?

I was going to put it under the AIOWiki namespace because it's more of a feature rather than an informative article. I'll figure out a good name for it. The other rating system I think you're thinking of is the Odyssey Adventure Comparison System (OACS): https://soopergrape.com/OACS/. The way I have this system set up currently is that the page User:Scientific Guy/Binary/Data is a direct copy of the "Exporting" sheet on the spreadsheet. I'll copy the data over regularly.

How can I join the binary?

You can’t “join” the binary per se, but you can certainly view the spreadsheet yourself: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SrYlu-RvEyo3pfP3E1jkqePJRvFI2aFabO3K2QT7GO4

Ok, thanks!
