# UK Content Rating Collections The `content_rating_uk` Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the content ratings available in your library. If you do not use the UK-based rating system within Plex, this file will attempt to match the ratings in your library to the respective rating system. **This file works with Movie and Show Libraries.** ![](../images/content_rating_uk.png) ## Collections Section 14 | Collection | Key | Description | |:--------------------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `Ratings Collections` | `separator` | [Separator Collection](../separators) to denote the Section of Collections. | | `<> Movies/Shows`
**Example:** `15 Movies` | `<>`
**Example:** `15` | Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Content Rating. | | `Not Rated Movies/Shows` | `other` | Collection of Movies/Shows that are Unrated, Not Rated or any other uncommon Ratings. | ## Config The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections: ```yaml libraries: Movies: metadata_path: - pmm: content_rating_uk TV Shows: metadata_path: - pmm: content_rating_uk ``` ## Template Variables Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy. Note that the `templates_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored. All [Shared Collection Variables](../collection_variables) are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file. This file contains a [Separator](../separators) so all [Shared Separator Variables](../separators.md#shared-separator-variables) are available as well. | Variable | Description & Values | |:-------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `limit` | **Description:** Changes the Builder Limit for all collections in a Defaults file.
