The rating is used to show how relevant the used category is for this anime.
The rating is used to show how relevant the used tag is for this anime.
There are '''six''' levels starting with + (''little'') right up to *** (''lots''). As a rule of thumb, to be included at all, a category must be relevant to more than one episode of a series.

Most of the dialogue is the discussion of battle tactics - in fact, there's so much war, you just don't know where to look. One of the characters was in Nam. They still have nightmares.}}

==How to interpret the weight of categories?==
==How to interpret the weight of tags?==
With the above example, if seems quite straight forward, i.e. just check the '''amount''' ("how often") of occurrences and derive a weight based on that. Alas things are not as simple as they seem. For some categories it makes more sense to be interpret them by the '''worst case''', e.g. {{Cat|Violence}} is weighted by the most violent act in the anime, not by the amount of violence. A few other categories are pretty much an '''on/off''' switch, either they are applicable (vote: ''***'') or not at all, e.g.: Was the anime based on a {{Cat|Novel}} or wasn't it?

To better help distinguish between these three category weight interpretations, colour-coded '''Category Weight''' info boxes have been placed at the top of each category page / sub-page. Should a specific category need to be interpreted differently another info box will point that out.
