 This is a great little function that would be useful on the front end for
 all sorts of things. There are many star rating Plugins out there but I'd
 prefer to use the core WordPress function.

 At the moment wp_star_rating() is in /wp-admin/includes/template.php which
 is a pretty big file to include on every front end page (73 KB) and
 contains mostly functions that would never conceivably be used on the
 front end.

 Is there a better location for wp_star_rating() that would make it more
 accessible for front end for developers?

 BTW - I noticed the Codex page needs updating as the source file link
 incorrectly points to wp-admin/includes/formatting.php, which makes the
 guide for using wp_star_rating() on the front end invalid.
