How do I put ratings into a thread

I've noticed that people tend to have those popcorn rating things in their review threads. I would like to put that in too. How do I do that?

[rating]4[/rating*]
Without the * you get
For half popcorns just add a .5

[rating*]2.5[/rating*] without the * would be

Thanks

Pretty cool that the users here so often make me obsolete.
