The pixel art ratings on the site used to be out of 5, but now they're out of 6. Is this an intentional change, or a bug? If it's intentional, what's the rationale for the change, just out of curiosity?

Ah, that explains it. I feel a little dumb now. I thought it worked by weighing higher-level people's ratings more, but I guess changing the maximum works too. Thanks!

It would be enough to just describe what the rating system's like on the level-up page so that people can expect the change. My confusion came from the fact that I thought the ratings system was "out of" 5 points, since 5 is a common max for such systems, but really it's a matter of giving points to pieces. Seeing now what it actually is, the description on the level-up page makes much more sense, but I still feel like a "primer" would've helped.
