Indicate change in reputation in voting summary
In the Vote Summary tab of the user page, each of a users posts shows how many votes up and down:
This shows voting, but does not make clear how this affects reputation. In this example, the first post is a Question in the Challenges category, and the upvote results in +10 reputation. The second post is an Article in the Sandbox category, and results in +0 reputation (no change).
Could the change in reputation be listed on this page alongside the voting figures, to make the different reputation values of votes on different post types in different categories more discoverable?

Counter-proposal: how about if we add the rep settings at the top of the Vote Summary page, instead of computing and adding them to each entry? I'm imagining something like this:
Reputation for up/down votes:
Q&A: Question +5/-2, Answer +10/-2
Sandbox: Article +0/-0
Meta: Question +0/-0, Answer +0/-0
One line per category, listing each votable[1] post type allowed in that category and the rep levels.
This makes the values visible to everybody without adding a second number for each entry on the page.
Or if there's a better place to expose this information, let's do that. People shouldn't have to guess what the rep changes mean, I agree.

Whether a post can be voted on is a property of the post type. For an example of non-votable posts, see the Descriptions category on the Proposals site. ↩︎
