[Foundation-l] Show community consensus for Wikilove

[Craig Franklin]

Personally, I find the whole "WikiLove" extension to be a bit naff and
schmaltzy.  I'm generally not thrilled when I get a WikiLove kitten or
anything, just like I'm not touched that my local member of Parliament has
thought to send me a form letter about how hard they're working for me.
 It's harmless enough though, I just choose to ignore it.

With that said though, if a particular project community decides they don't
want it, why should it be forced upon them?  I think this principle should
apply to *all* extensions, not just "harmless" or "global improvement" ones.

Cheers,
Craig

Why any Wikipedia would not want the Wikilove feature?



This is inconsistent for me. Wikilove's a global improvement, there's no
reason to disagree improvements.
