I've been thinking for a while now that the hitchability system as it is is no good. How did the hitchability of countries get determined in the first place? I have a different opinion to what the article says quite a lot of times, but I'm not going to go and just change it - and I think a lot of people feel the same. What I'd propose is a system where every user can give a rating on the 1-5 scale and the average will be displayed. I don't think this would be very hard to do technically. Any opinions?--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 22:49, 31 August 2011 (CEST)
: Yeah, actually I developed such a thing a while ago, but we never integrated it. You can rate all countries on [[Hitchwiki:Hitchability]] and See the results [http://hitchwiki.org/ratingMap.php here]. Feel free to improve it ;) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:55, 1 September 2011 (CEST)
::Awesome! So why aren't we integrating it into the pages? Any reason? Also I'm thithinking it might be nice to discern the colours on the map from each other a bit more visibly - how about using the standard colouring red, orange, yellow, light green, dark green? --[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 03:28, 2 September 2011 (CEST) PS: There's quite a few (African) places not in the list I'd like to rate... could you tell me how to set it up for them - or, if it's not very easy to do for a n00b, do it yourself? ;-)--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 03:34, 2 September 2011 (CEST)::: Because it's a lot of work ;) I started doing this for some Western European countries, but stopped due to laziness. Also, I am waiting for [[User:Mikael]] to make some fancy new icons for this, but I think he forgot ;) Still, we should surely add these to all country articles. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:11, 2 September 2011 (CEST)::::Ah, I don't really think we need new fancy icons... and anyway, once they're ready you could just replace them in the original template without a lot of fuss, no? What we'd need right now, though, I think, would be the labelling from ''senseless'' to ''very good'' to be added to the visible rating.--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 16:54, 2 September 2011 (CEST)::::: Alright, I did it. Sure, exchanging the icons will be easy, once someone feels like making them. So, feel free to start replacing them everywhere :)::::: Be aware, that new countries, or not recognized ones will not work yet (I just noticed Abkhazia and South Sudan). But that's not so important yet and will be fixed automatically, eventually.::::: Mabye we could also send an e-mail to everyone, so many people will rate. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:13, 4 September 2011 (CEST):::::: I like the idea with the e-mail to everyone. Also, I noticed that the labels actually don't always match the colours which is a bit strange, could you fix that? Thirdly, I still think we should change the colours on the world map a bit.--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 23:00, 4 September 2011 (CEST):::::: For the United States, I think, we might need a different system - the single states tend to be quite different if it comes to hitchability. Just an idea :-) (damn, I wish I knew how to set up all that shit)--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 15:18, 5 September 2011 (CEST)
