Originally from Wikipedia, the WikiLove system is a variety of ways that editors can appreciate and support one another, such as through custom templates, helping them feel that they and their contributions are valued and accepted across the wiki, or for fun. Our reason for including the WikiLove system is based on a study showing that positive feedback is likely to encourage editors,[1] especially out of fear of being looked down upon by more established users.[2]

Examples

These templates can be sent to users by placing them in a new section on their user talk page.
