Allow ratings in Pages as well as reviews

[Davyc]

At present if someone wants to rate an article in Pages they also have to add a review.  This can be counter productive by inhibiting users to simply rate which gives a similar insight as to how popular a pages article is seen to be.  Many would happily rates (click on the stars) but insisting on a written review in order to rate will likely put a lot of people off, which means articles that are well received may not be perceived in that way by the author.  Topics can be rated, so let's have to the option to rate a Pages article without insisting on a review.

I would ask that ratings be allowed with or without a review also being added - keeps everyone happy having a choice.

Just my two-penneth in this new forum 🙂

What you ask for is already possible. You just need to be sure to turn reviews off or it will override the setting for leaving a rating. And yeah, the settings are a little scattered and category permissions sometimes confuse admins.

Got it!  Thanks for pointing the way - you're correct too in that the settings are scattered and not always obvious. Now I just need to get @Adriano Faria to allow ratings in the Movie app which appears to run along the lines of Pages without using the Pages app, if that makes sense lol.

EDITED: I'll take a look in a future version.
