WikiLove/Idea Log

This is the idea log for WikiLove
 * Handling of adding WikiLove to subpages: either allow or let user know with warning/confirmation
 * Suggestive text for message box
 * We need to do this with HTML5 placeholder attributes.  Otherwise, the suggestive text will nearly always be what is sent.
 * Preference for users that don't want to receive WikiLove (perhaps just use existing pref to disable both sending & receiving)
 * If we do this, we need to still show the heart icon; just disable it (grey it out). Maybe clicking the icon will pop up a small tooltip saying that the user does not wish to receive WikiLove.
 * Change previews immediately as you cycle through dropwdowns
 * Throttle WikiLove (perhaps only for autoconfirmed users)
 * "Slow down, cowboy. Excessive use of WikiLove can be distracting. Did you perhaps mean to leave this user a message?"
 * Since we already know when the last time the user gave wikilove (it's in our tracking tables), we can do a timeout. Alternatively, though, it may just be easier to set an expiring cookie on them and check for the cookie's presence or absence to allow tool use.  Something like "WikiLove_Throttle", expires in 5 minutes.  Saves us a database access call.
 * Improve handling of "self-love"
 * Perhaps friendly indicator that you're sending a public message to yourself, so that users don't assume it's a "Decorate your own page" feature
 * Make messages required again, but with a less scary warning
 * Perhaps add an informational notice like "A personalized note will make your appreciation more meaningful. Please add a message above!"
 * Develop some well thought-out "Welcoming" functionality, e.g. with WikiProject invitation or "request my mentorship" support
 * Use a simple category model to organize templates so they don't have to be stuffed into the JS config file?

Configuration: Make Your Own:
 * Make messages in config localizable
 * Create "config packs": GLAM WikiLove, Science WikiLove, Goth WikiLove, etc.
 * ♥! That could be really cool.--Eloquence 01:33, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Gallery-driven version
 * Parse Commons URLs, not just filenames (user tests show that users try URLs)
