# Common Sense Media Content Rating Collections The `content_rating_cs` Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the content ratings available in your library. If you do not use the Common Sense-based rating system within Plex, this file will attempt to match the ratings in your library to the respective rating system. ![](../images/content_rating_cs.png) ## Requirements & Recommendations Supported Library Types: Movie, Show Recommendations: Use the [Mass Content Rating Update Library Operation](../../config/operations.md#mass-content-rating-update) with either `mdb_commonsense` or `mdb_commonsense0` to update Plex to the Common Sense Rating. ## Collections Section 110 | Collection | Key | Description | |:------------------------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `Ratings Collections` | `separator` | [Separator Collection](../separators.md) to denote the Section of Collections. | | `<> Movies/Shows`
