+### Optional MDBList movie ratings
+
+The **Movie ratings** admin page enables MDBList, stores its API key only in the gateway's
+`app_settings` table, and selects which supported sources may be returned. It is disabled
+by default. Movie detail pages request `/v1/items/{id}/ratings` independently of essential

+produce an empty successful response. Successful MDBList responses are cached in Redis for
+24 hours before the configured source filter is applied, so changing visible sources does
+not consume more MDBList quota. The API key is never returned by either the TV or admin
+status APIs.
