You seem to be missing my point - that the WL tool
serves an ulterior
function of allowing users who do not understand markup to communicate and
request help in a way they can understand. I am saying that most of those
with few or no edits will have problems understanding markup, which is why
it's important, even without WL's core purpose, that the tool remain
available to new editors.
Okay, my email and WSC's original email related to the primary
function as defined at <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WikiLove>.
Requests for help are probably better handled by something other than
a heart icon at the top of every user talk page. I would say that the
appropriately named Help link at the left of every page is more likely
to be used for this.
