If I wanted this kind of intrusive nonsense on my page this post would be on Facebook. IMNSHO this cutesy rubbish has no place here. Wikimedia projets are serious work, not for social networking. This stuff should be an opt-in extra, not an "on by default" feature. I'm not an eight year old little girl who likes decorating her room with pink ponies! Yuck! Dodger67 16:54, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

No. I completely agree. It reminds of the stupid huggy Esperanza project (which got shut down).
I agree. The WikiLove comments are like spam. I don't want to receive such crap. Where is the opt-out setting?
WikiLove are simply talk page edits assisted by a special interface. The only way to opt-out of talk page comments is to get your user talk page protected.
I don't want to "opt-out of talk page comments". I never said that. I want to disable this tool for my talk page. Simple.
The talk page messages that are added by WikiLove can still be added in other ways. The point of a tool like this is obviously to make things easier for new users, so having it disabled by default would defeat the purpose. You're free to delete unwelcome comments from your Talk page. The "social networking" comment is irrelevant. Thanking people for work they have done is not "social networking". It's just being nice and creating a welcoming atmosphere: something we seriously need to get sorted out in order to get help with all the serious work that needs doing.
Adding a "thank you" to my talk page is one thing. Throwing stupid kittens at me is an other thing. This is spam. I repeat: Where is the opt-out setting? At least let me disable the stupid images. Or simply redirect the people and help them add a new section to my talk page. Without the spam. Thank you.
You're not the only one. At a *minimum*, the box itself needs to have a link that explains how to remove it. it's also a forum for endless argumentation: I hate goats, but love brownies and trout, but we're all different. I love cats and I love kittens, but not in a dropdown at an encyclopedia; this feature should be drowned in a well, or at best, it should be opt-in (as in: "click here to Enable WikiLove tab". The fact that there isn't a one-click "disable" button is ridiculous. Mathglot (talk) 19:19, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
