Thread:Talk:WikiLove/Proposal: Make the WikiLove tab visible only after a user has made 10 edits

There is a general view amongst Wikipedia admins that excessive templating/boiler plate text on user pages is poor practice. I frequently use an initial (customized) welcome template for new users and do use standard user warning templates for vandalism, though not for "regulars". However these standard boilerplates are not available to brand new users as tools such as Twinkle will only be discovered after an editor has had a chance to learn the basics.

Wikilove has been implemented differently as a user sees the tab as another early toy to play with and we now see a lot of new users trying it out on their own talk pages as their first edit. At the moment Wikilove works on an opt-out basis rather than an opt-in basis.

PROPOSAL: Let's change the Wikilove tab to only be visible to users after their first 10 edits. Before this point, it is unlikely that new users will be able to use these tools in a meaningful way and this would also help to keep the interface simple for the first few edits made and targeted on article content rather than user page decoration and social fluff.
