WikiLove - це додаток, що був створений для того, щоб зробити схвалення інших користувачів легшим і веселішим. WikiLove можна викликати на любій сторінці користувача, натиснувши на іконку "Серденько". Започаткував Райян Калдарі (Ryan Kaldari) як скрипт користувача, тепер доступне як MediaWiki extension, яке розробники можуть додати до своїх вікі.

Обґрунтування
Users like to feel valued. According to the 2011 survey of Wikipedia editors (see top-line data), among 17 variables, "being looked down on by more experienced editors" is the most likely to cause people to say they will edit less frequently (69% agreement), while "having others compliment you on your edits/articles" is the most likely to cause people to say they will edit more frequently (78% agreement). See also: "Positive feedback works for editing, say Wikipedia editors" on the Wikimedia blog.

З іншої сторони, редагувати Вікіпедію стає все важче, і вірогідність того, що нові користувачі будуть отримувати виправлення/критику зросла. Це відображено в різних дослідженнях з аналізу досвіду новачків, таких, як нещодавньому науково-дослідному спринті, спрямованого на навчання новачків. Ці дослідження проводилися у рамках стратегії роботи з новачками, відбулися в рамках нашого "Літа Досліджень".

How to customize
The WikiLove interface can be tailored to suit the needs of each individual editor. If you want to use WikiLove for leaving welcome messages, birthday cakes, or hedgehogs, it's easy to override the default configuration with your own settings.

The WikiLove configuration is one large JSON object, so to make a change or addition, all you have to do is modify the values that are assigned to the keys. To see what values are currently assigned, first check the MediaWiki:WikiLove.js page on your local wiki. This will have any local overrides. Next, take a look at the default configuration. This will show you the basic tree of data that makes up the settings for WikiLove. Once you have decided what values you want to change, go to your skin.js file on the wiki you are using. (If you are on the English Wikipedia, for example, you would edit this page.) To change an existing item, simply override its value with an assignment statement.

Change an existing type
For example, if you wanted to change the display name 'Kittens' to 'Cats', you would add the following to your local .js file (User:Example/skin.js):

If you wanted to change the image for Stroopwafels, you would add:

Add a new type
You can also add an entirely new item type (or subtype) using the JSON tree structure. For example to add "Hedgehogs":

Make sure you declare all of the appropriate parameters when adding new items! To learn about all the different type parameters, refer to the extension documentation.

Create a new type icon
The Photoshop source file for the WikiLove type icons (the black and white icons that appear in the left-hand menu) can be downloaded here. To create your own, paste in a graphic that is approximately 50 x 50 pixels, desaturate it, and copy and paste the styles that are applied to the examples in the source file.

Change the heart icon
You can also customize the WikiLove heart icon used in the Vector skin by editing your vector.css file. If you want to change the red heart icon to a blue heart, for example, you would add the following:

Requests for Additional Deployment
Individual wikis may request that WikiLove be deployed to them provided the following criteria are met:


 * Community consensus for the deployment has been reached
 * The WikiLove extension has been localized to that wiki's language on TranslateWiki (you can help here)
 * A configuration file exists on the local wiki (MediaWiki:WikiLove.js)

Once these criteria are met, open a bug in Phabricator requesting the deployment.

WikiLove activity in real-time
WikiLove collects data in its own tables, but this data isn't surfaced through the UI yet. To quickly see what's going on, you can use edit filter 423 on the English Wikipedia.
