Empirical evidence tells me that many enwiki users dislike this feature - but are not sure where to say so. Their main objection is in accord with "Wikipedia is not a [...] social network" ( http://enwp.org/WP:NOTMYSPACE ).

I think people directly involved with this initiative might well miss the objections of the mass community - of course, those users will evaluate the feature, look at ways to improve it, and so forth - but the casual reader who dislikes it may go unnoticed, because it is not clear where they can criticize the feature - and if the criticism belongs over on this wiki, they might simply not bother.

Recently, there was a posting about this on the enwiki helpdesk -.

In pondering where to raise this, I also came across this comment.

I suggest that some discussion should take place on enwiki, somewhere, to decide if the feature is appropriate. Chzz 20:12, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
