While porting Fivestar to D8, I saw that some modules will need to allow users to create new Vote Types via interface, as they are intended for site building and users may need different Vote Types(old "Tags") to better implement their use cases. e.g. If you want to allow users to rate your "Project" content for "Viability" and "Wellness increase", you would need 2 Vote Types and they need to be created via interface.

+1 It's an anti-pattern to have a 'types' UI that doe not include an 'add type' button.

There is no "add type" button on admin/structure/vote-types, but you can go to /admin/structure/vote-types/add and add a new vote type.

When trying to set up a new fivestart field however, the newly added type is not available...

I am going mad trying to set up a simple voting system in Drupal 8!

Title: Allow creation of Vote Types via interface » Add missing button to create a new vote type

The missing button actually constitutes a major usability bug.
Vote types created via /admin/structure/vote-types/add however do work for me.
