Make the number of rateable categories configurable
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Some people want to be able to configure the number of categories which are used to rate a wikipage[1] and others mentioned that the default four categories (Trustworthy, Objective, Complete, Well-written) are not very well chosen.[2] Currently, those four categories are hardcoded in the extension's code[3], so I'm opening this bug to request a good way to configure the categories which will be available in a specific wiki.

If I understood correctly, the [[mw:Extension:ReaderFeedback]] has such a feature, and maybe it can be used as basis.

This is configurable just fine using $wgArticleFeedbackRatings and corresponding entries in the article_feedback_ratings table.

Roan, would you mind providing a more detailed explanation in this new section on the extension's talk page?
