Usability Yes. Social Features, Uh-Oh.
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Question of the week/Archives/2009-12-14
There is a natural tendency for human beings to be aware of each other, keep track of each other and form groups. This natural tendency manifests itself in Wikipedia/media, and it can have a wide range of effects, both positive and negative, with a strong correlation with topics.
Introducing "social features" will strengthen such effects. The basic question thus becomes: what measures should be put in place to curb the negative effects (without affecting the positive effects); this should be itemized per "social feature" that is considered.
I have not yet seen this happening on this page. - Brya 05:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
