Ratings suck. It's too complicated of a structure. Let's keep Featured Article as a "status" for pages and keep the nomination page for it. Everything else doesn't need to be rated, and if a page needs big time expansion, we can start labeling pages as stubs instead of C4 or C5. If a page is merely out of date, we should have a [[lmow:Template:Update|Update template]]. If a page is a mess, we should have [[lmow:Template:Cleanup|Cleanup template]]. It's an easier method that any reader/user will understand how to help without having to understand the rating system (or possibly without having to fully know our MoS) --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 04:03, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
* I like the idea of going down to a 3 or 4 tier system, as at the mo I think the lines between C4-C3 and Good-Featured are a bit blurry/pointless. I don't like the idea of slapping maintenance templates on pages though, they just get in the way of what little content articles have. Plus, they don't allow nice overviews of themes' ratings (like on Nova's blog or some project pages). [[User:UltrasonicNXT|UltrasonicNXT]] ([[User talk:UltrasonicNXT|talk]])
* I like what Meiko is suggesting. Most if not all C1 articles could probably pass for featured, especially now where, frankly, we are desperate for new ones. I wouldn't mind keeping C2 and C2F (but renamed Complete and Complete (Future)) if we do end up keeping some variation of the system, but I rather we don't.
