Just passed 10,000 edits and decided to bring up something I've kinda kept to myself for the past couple years:

When I make a battle and comments aren't made on it, I actually get a bit broken up about it. It tends to make me wonder if anyone even read my battle to begin with and leaves me thinking that no one cares. Like putting my heart and soul into a battle was all for nothing.

Now to be clear, that's obviously me at my lowest when I think like that, but I have always wondered if there was such a way to rate and highlight the best battles this Wiki has to offer. Sure, we used to have the Top Completed Battle's blog where the winners would be posted on the front page, as well as two Wiki Awards blogs where the top battles were voted on and the Top 3 of the year were given...

...but what if there was a way to rate every completed battle across the entire Wiki? That after any battle is completed, perhaps a poll were to be added that would serve to gauge what readers thought of it.

Just to offer an example of what this poll could look like:

How many stars would you rate this battle? Five stars Four stars Three stars Two stars One star

Imagine what this could do for writers, as well as the Wiki as a whole. Writers could see how well-received their battles are, and the highest-rated battles could be given kudos and made easier to find for readers. Maybe "Highest Rated Battles of the Month" could be a thing in the near-future.

I'm basically just spit-balling here. Maybe it wouldn't even need to be a poll necessarily and there's another means with which to rate battles here. And it's definitely not something that can done quickly, seeing as how there's 3,000+ completed battles. So for now, I'd like to read what everyone thinks of having a possible rating system down the line and how it could be accomplished.
