I just noticed this new feature called "Distribution of Ratings".
It appears to be working well enough for series with lots of ratings, but it's not very consistent when there aren't many ratings.
Here's a screenshot showing a manga with many ratings:
There's nothing obviously wrong with that.
Next is a screenshot of a manga with only 1 rating:
Notice how the scale shows markings for 0.2, 0.4, etc. If the scale were a percentage, it would make sense to have a range between 0.0 and 1.0 (100%), but the scale shows the absolute number of votes for a given rating, so 0.2 votes makes no sense.
Also, and this is just my personal opinion, I think the distribution should still show entries for all other ratings. Even if nobody's rated it a 10 or 8 or 7, etc. there should be entries for those ratings.
Next is a series with 4 ratings distributed over 2 scores:
Notice that there is an entry for 9, but there doesn't appear to be any rating given for it.
If you look at the scale, you'll notice that unlike the other 2 example, that scale starts with 1.0 instead of 0 (or 0.0). Obviously we won't see the 9, since it's only been awarded once.
So it appears that the rating distribution feature will only show a range between the lowest and most votes awarded, but in the first screenshot, that's obviously not the case. This is inconsistent and confusing, hence why I'm posting this in the Bugs forum.
