==Star-rating - the Weight system==
The rating is used to show how relevant the used category 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.
A slightly sarcastic example based on [[Categories:Themes:Military|'''Themes:Military''']]:
{{CatWeightTable|1|amount|
1|There are some people in uniform in a few of the episodes. They're probably in the army or something. Oh, wait, maybe they're just police. Ah, no, it's cosplay.|
2|Several characters are often addressed by rank rather than name. They have medals. Someone might even salute one of them, if you're lucky.|
3|The anime concerns an organised armed force, and its members. Said body should have both the equipment and hierarchy found in military groups, and should ideally be actively utilising their power against an opponent. Characters are either employed as professional soldiers or enlisted on a volunteer basis, for ideological reasons.|
4|Main character joins an armed force, and gets the rank of private at least. They have to salute their superiors at least once per episode. If special, they might get some hardware to play with, but on the downside killing people may be involved.|
5|Main character at least a sergeant. They go on missions, and probably blow shit up. One or more characters is introduced, only to be summarily dispatched, to show that war costs lives. Three salutes per episode, minimum.|
6|Main character no less than a colonel. The salutes flow thick and fast, too many to count, and medals shine from every chest. 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?==
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.
===Category Weight: "amount"===
Categories should be interpreted by the '''amount''' of their occurrence:
{{CatWeightInfo|amount|1}}
===Category Weight: "worst case"===
Categories should be interpreted by the '''worst case''' seen in the anime:
{{CatWeightInfo|worstcase|1}}
===Category Weight: "on/off"===
Categories should either be set or not set at all:
{{CatWeightInfo|onoff|1}}
