Every Favorited Game, Sorted by How Many Favorited Each Game

This is a list of games that have been favorited by members of the Chess Variant Pages. If you have your own favorites you enjoy playing, you can favorite them with the ♥ menu on the page for each game you wish to favorite. This is a community project, not just a selection of games by the editors. Even if your favorites are already on the list, mark them as favorites anyway. Numbers count. Raise your favorite games higher in the list by casting your votes for them.

How to Favorite a Game

To favorite a game, go to the game's rules page, and use the menu headed by the heart shape. This will be on the left side when the menu runs across the top of the screen, as it normally does on a desktop. If you're using a mobile device and must click a hamburger symbol to access the menu, it will be at the top. If the heart that heads the menu is solid red, that means you have favorited the game. If the heart is an empty outline, that means you have not favorited it. The number beside the heart will indicate how many people have favorited the game. Once you have found the heart menu, select the appropriate menu item. This should say ❤ Favorite This Game. To unfavorite a game, select the menu item that says 💔 Unfavorite This Game.

Query Parameters: inventor=, limit=0, member=, min=0, selfvote=1, sort=count

Query parameters are used in the URL to change the value of certain arguments used by this script. You may change them by editing the URL in the navigation bar.

favorites.php?inventor=&limit=0&member=&min=0&selfvote=1&sort=count

inventor=

Since no particular inventor has been named, games by any inventor will be displayed. To display games by a particular inventor, give inventor the value of that inventor's PersonID.

limit=0

There is no limit on the number of games shown. Listed below is every game anyone has favorited. To limit the number of games shown, change limit to a whole number above zero.

member=

With no member identified, it will display games favorited by anyone. To display only the game favorited by a particular person, assign member to that person's PersonID.

min=0

With a minimum value of zero, every game will be displayed unless a limit has been set. Set min to a higher value to prevent games with a lower count or score, depending upon what you're sorting by, from being displayed.

reviewbonus=0

When someone writes a review for a game and gives it the highest possible rating, which is Excellent or 5 stars, that lends credibility to him truly regarding this game as a genuine favorite. In that case, his vote may count for more even if he has favorited many games. When reviewbonus is set 1, the value of his vote will be doubled up to a maximum value of 1. When set to 0, written reviews and 5 star ratings will not be factored into the calculation of the attenuated score.

selfvote=1

When calculating the attenuated score, an inventor's favoriting of his own games will be counted. To stop this, set selfvote to 0

sort=count

These results are sorted by the the number of people who voted for each game. This is a whole number that appears on the left. Ties are broken by an attenuated score, which reduces the value of votes from people who favorited only one game or who favorited many games. This should always be less than or equal to the raw count, and it appears in parentheses as a decimal number. To sort by the attenuated score instead, set sort to "score".

Favoriting is now reserved for published games, and I have deleted any favorites recorded for unpublished pages. Although it records the ItemIDs of pages, the favoriting system is for games, not pages. Since new submissions normally start out as Game pages even if they are later changed to something else, this closes a loophole for allowing the favoriting of what are not games. It may also close loopholes for automatically displaying the link of a page before it has been approved for public display.

Ranks are now shown. Since the whole list was a definition list, I changed each entry into a separate definition list and made each one a list item in an ordered list. Since the bold, sans-serif formatting is only for the DT tag, the rank number does not get the same formatting.

How to change reviewbonus?

It's on or off. By default, it is off. Assign it a non-empty value, such as 1 or true, to turn it on.
