[Foundation-l] Show community consensus for Wikilove

[Oliver Keyes]

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.
