   Oh? I wasn't aware that it had been disabled anywhere as yet.

   WikiLove was not rolled out "en mass"; the policy for deployment of

the tool is that it is by request only, and the requesting wiki must:

           a) Make sure the tool is localized (via TranslateWiki);
           b) Make sure they have a local configuration; and
           c) Show community consensus.

   So if it was enabled and then *disabled*, I have not heard of this.

Is there a bug report I can look to? Or if you know of a wiki where this is the case, I can do a search.

   Thanks!

Good to hear that wikilove is only going in on wikis where there is consensus for it. Can anyone give me a link to the discussion that established consensus on EN wikipedia? The nearest I could find was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28miscellaneous%29/Arch...
