I liked the stars better. -- LordTBT ^Talk! 17:43, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Agree with you LordTBT, Stars were better than the Grey/Pink heart that had appeared on my blog page earlier today. perhaps it should be a individual wiki selectable option then each community can decide which shape to use, as hearts may appeal to some wikis but others like me will definitively not want them.

Any body know how to turn them OFF permanently ? - BulldozerD11 18:56, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

I'm with you here, hearts suck, gimme back my stars. --Light Daxter | Talk 19:25, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Please, anybody knows how can I change them with a Starfleet logo for our Star Trek wikia?? Gifh^talk28.04.2010 22:28 (UTC)

I do not want to love a page. I want to rate it! Sorry, had to say that. On a serious note, I prefer the stars. ☆The Solar Dragon ^(Talk)☆ 20:54, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

I also preferred the stars. Not to be sexist, but the hearts seem a bit "girlish". They wouldn't go well on a wiki about, let's say, sport. The star is a more neutral option, in my opinion. I think this change was made to try and limit confusion with the new "Watch" icon, which is a star. Chicken7 ^>talk 11:59, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

I also like the stars for rating, and the old binoculars for watchlist, since I would associate stars with something like bookmarks/favorites, not what the watchlist is for. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) ^-WikiDex 18:15, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

The hearts are horrible. First of all, unlike the stars, they seem to stick together, making the ratings look somewhat strange. Second, hearts make no sense as an icon for rating compared to stars. Whose idea was this? —C Teng^(talk) 00:07, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

I vote to remove those hearts as well, hate them ~~Gin-san ^(Talk) 10:48, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

I was prefering the stars too. There could be a way to personalise the icon use just like we do with the search and others icons. That would be cool. — TulipVorlax 21:18, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

I think it is possible to change the icons... It would be a bit complicated, but I am pretty sure that you would just need to create a modified version of this file, replacing the icons with the custom ones you want to use, and then put the following into your site Monaco.css:

.sprite,.sprite-small{
     background-image:url('url source of the modified icons image')
}

You can find here the old icons sprite. But maintaining a separate image than wikia would be problematic every time Wikia adds/changes the sprites on the image, because they won't be automatically updated. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) ^-WikiDex 08:30, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
