I could use some wikilove. I hope there is a good article about hangovers, but I am not up to editing it. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick 22:50 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I don't know. maybe it travels the whole world round. Sorry, have to go barf now -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick 23:45 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
(from the Wikipedia:Village pump)
Yesterday I wrote an article on Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani nuclear engineer. I uploaded it shortly before 8pm UTC. Only 16 hours later, it's already received a variety of useful edits from seven other editors. I think this is amazing - Wikipedia's editing community is incredibly responsive. It's a great tool, but it's the energy and enthusiasm of the contributors, so visible in this instance, which have made it so successful. Long may it continue. :-) -- ChrisO 13:01, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
(from the village pump) Above all, if one needs mathematical or scientific information, Wikipedia is simply the best, which brought the Web out in the last years. There are to some extent understandable, clear and extensive explanations to (nearly) each topic. Still to it the whole is free. It is fascinating that also in the today's Spam and garbage and troll contaminated Web still another project instructed on voluntariness, self-check and co-operation survive can.
Further so, Wikipedia!

can we get a picture of John Lennon in bed with the "bed peace" sign for this page? ;-) -- Tarquin 08:53 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
I am not sure what is meant by the term ordering. Surely this is much more a continual process of rearrangement which reflects life rather an approaching some abstract ideal of what an ideal might be if it were not an ideal. Harry Potter.

Ministry of WikiLove? 58.178.20.186 11:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, while obviously better than wikihate, wikilove sometimes looks over the top or even insincere. I prefer cool-headed, courteous bluntness to cloying, sugary affectation. (Except perhaps to new users) nadav 07:59, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
but WP:OBVIOUS still applies IMO. As such, shouldn't the first sentence end with "among Wikipedians"? VanTucky (talk) 02:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

You are a truly nice person and a great GA reviewer. See the Larry Mullen talk page... --andreasegde 16:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm curious why this would be removed from the project page. As I see it, a picture of a heart with the Wikipedia logo on it has 0 utility while the flowchart I created has (albeit not a lot) some utility. Not only that, it's a good process, and if people followed it Wikipedia would be a less stressful place. Additionally, this is an essay, and not a policy page, so what's the deal? Triddle 15:15, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
You nominated a current WP:FLC. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual main page will resemble either an excerpted list format or an abbreviated text format. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 16:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: "It was coined over time": I don't believe a word or concept can really be "coined over time". It might "evolve" or "be accepted" over time, but "coining" implies the moment of creation. NB: I am almost certainly not a linguist. Phil wink (talk) 03:38, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Since my comprehensive edit of Food Wikilove templates was undone. I created another template Template:WikiLove_Templates and added it to the "See Also" section. Hope, that's okay? Because the name Template:WikiLove is already taken. Prapsnot 2.0 (talk) 08:07, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Currently, when javascript is disabled in one's browser, instead of the icon one sees a full link called "Wikilove" in the menu. However, clicking the link does nothing. it is perfectly fine is WL will never work with JS disabled, but please do something to recover the space in the menu, i.e., do not show the "Wikilove" link in this case.

Didn't we go through this madness once (if not several times) before? This is a website for writing an encyclopedia, not for making friends and socializing. If you really want that, go to Facebook (or Myspace, as we said the last time this insanity prevailed. That ended in tears. And let's not even mention the Great Userbox Wars.
In short, this is a bad idea. Kill it ASAP.

A recent event made me think that it would be nice to have chocolate included in the list of templates too. I am nil at writing templates, os....any takers? Pretty please? Lectonar (talk) 08:21, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
If you look at File:WikiLove issue.png, you'll see what I am seeing. The WikiLove interface is showing something wrong. A close up of a selected WikiLove template shows that even link formating is not working. I have two scripts that I am using to add the ACC and Badges sections. The first is User:Technical 13/Scripts/Teahouse WikiLove.js (which hasn't been edited since 20 January 2014) and the second is User:Technical 13/Scripts/ACC WikiLove.js (which hasn't been edited since 18 February 2014). Both were working fine as of 19 February 2014. I will also post a note on VPT pointing here. Thank you. — ((U|Technical 13)) (t • e • c) 20:36, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
It looks like this is just a design issue as the code still functions. When you go to WikiLove using the Teahouse custom install script, the icon is way misformatted. That is coded by
icon: 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/Rank_insignia_of_generale_di_divisione_con_funzioni_superiori_of_the_Alpini.svg'
It should be easy to figure out what the new custom image code requires, or I can just remove the icon. Ocaasi t | c 22:09, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi, could someone create a page that shows all WikiLove messages that have ever been created, and how they look when deployed? The template that lists some of them is woefully inadequate, and most all of the WikiLove messages I see around the site are not on it. This is frustrating when you want to give one to people but can't find the one that fits the bill, even though you've seen it in the past (but can't remember where you saw it). Thanks!

i'm actually trying to study and write papers off of this wonderful site and i really would appreciate it if it didn't adopt a cult-like status of wiki-love, whnich would undoubtedly interfere and corrupt its premise for the freedom of information.
thanks Elakhna 02:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
I disagree. Simply because it is not a physical or well known concept, doesn't mean it should be left out. It would be like leaving out a concept of a video game simply because it doesn't really exist physically. Wikilove is in fact an aspect of wikipedia as determined by wikipedia and it's members, and should thus be treating as an aspect and given it's thread. If you don't like it, then simply don't refer to it, but many of us believe it has a place because it is portrayed by wikipedia as a viable aspect.

I just left some WikiLove for a user User talk:Ottosuggestion and it all looked fine in the preview but when I saw the results, it seems to have merged my WikiLove with a previous barnstar.
