Only add a rating if you cite it with a reference
The template is not to be a substitute for a section in paragraph form, since a review can not be accurately boiled down to a simple rating out of five stars or other numeric score. If an article is lacking a reception section in prose, but the information is presented in table format, the |noprose=yes
parameter can be used to tag the article as needing a reception section in prose.
This template is generally the first element after the heading for the section on Reception, Critical reception, Reviews, or something similar. The template should not be used in place of a reception section.
The reviews should be listed alphabetically in the Reviews field. The information in the reviewer field should be the name of the source. Don't forget to wikilink to the relevant article.
The information in the score field should be the rating given in the review (e.g. 4/5). The rating should use the same format as in the review, to accurately portray the score of the review. For star ratings you should use the star rating template; for example, entering {{Rating|4.5|5}}
, will render: .
For reviews at Rotten Tomatoes it is convenient to use "RT=" in the template.
For reviews at Metacritic it is convenient to use "MC=" in the template.
Please note that the minus sign character (−) is not the same thing as a hyphen (-).
After the rating should be the citation of the source of the review. Per Wikipedia:Citing sources do not add reviews without a citation. This means a properly formatted footnote, in most cases providing the author, date, and source, along with an external link if available. Do not use an embedded link with no information (e.g. link) as this promotes link rot and is inconsistent with Wikipedia's policy on embedded links. If you must use an embedded link, be sure to manually provide a full citation in the article's References section per Wikipedia:Citing sources.
