There is a method you can use with an external widget which does what you want and allows you to rate either on the original page or in a table on a different page. This uses the ratings code from JS-Kit at http://www.js-kit.com
Once you've signed up (free) and told it which site you want to apply the ratings code on it gives you some div and script code which you put inside an html codeblock on the page where you want your rating. Change the title= to uniq= and give it a unique name. In this case I've given it the page name but it could be anything as long as it's unique.
For this example we've added the code to a page called support:javascript:
[!--
[[code type="HTML"]]
<html>
<body>
<div class="js-kit-rating" uniq="support:javascript" permalink=""></div>
<script src="http://js-kit.com/for/strathviewconsultants.wikidot.com/ratings.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
[[/code]]
--]
As usual you must then refer to that codeblock in an iframe. So underneath the codeblock add:
[[iframe http://strathviewconsultants.wikidot.com/support:javascript/code/3 frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="200px" height="40px"]]
(the codeblock was the third one on that page, hence the /code/3).
This will put the rating on the page like this:
Do that with your other pages where you want the rating.
But on another page you can put all the ratings together by using a table and adding in the iframes, like this:
||~ Page ||~ Rate it ||
|| [*http://strathviewconsultants.wikidot.com/support:pages Support:Pages] || [[iframe http://strathviewconsultants.wikidot.com/support:pages/code/1 width="25%" height="40px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"]] ||
|| [*http://strathviewconsultants.wikidot.com/support:javascript Support:Javascript] ||[[iframe http://strathviewconsultants.wikidot.com/support:javascript/code/3 frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="25%" height="40px"]] ||
|| [*http://strathviewconsultants.wikidot.com/support:network Support:Network] ||[[iframe http://strathviewconsultants.wikidot.com/support:network/code/6 frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="25%" height="40px"]] ||
This gives you:
Your users can then either rate your pages (or whatever it is on your pages you want to rate) from this table or from the original page. And if you make the text a link as I have they can go straight to the page if they want to. I've used external links here as I'm linking from the comubnity site. Normally you would use standard [[[page]]] links. The advantage with the js-kit method though is that it allows you to pull in ratings into a table from multiple sites if you want.
Warning
As admin you would need to make the first rating and while you are testing it you must keep clearing your cookies before you do each subsequent rating because otherwise it doesn't register the rating. It is a mechanism designed to reduce the chance of multiple ratings by a single user.
It is also possible to have a table of top posts but I have so far not got that to work well, probably because I keep changing the unique name. Anyway, that table is also on my page support:javascript if you want to have a look.
It is probably overkill and is certainly a bit fiddly. So although it works I hope someone gives you a solution using native wikidot syntax.
Edit: By the way I'm not expecting anyone to rate those pages, the ratings are there purely as an example of the method.
