Even if it has to be big, it the notifications showing who has liked the page still could've been made collapsible, or the entire system could've been placed in the sidebar. It looks out of place in relation to the rest of the layout in its current incarnation, in terms of both color and placement, as well as size relative to the other buttons at the top of the article.

Additionally, while it is fine to have a simple system that makes it easy to show that other users approve of each others pages, I can't help but fear that this will further discourage users from going that extra mile and explaining what they like and dislike about the page. That is something that is in my opinion critical to helping others improve their work, and users now more than ever seem to be less and less willing to do that, especially on the wikis I frequent.

As for liking pages on Wookieepedia and similar wikis, I disagree. One might argue that this might be used as a way for users who aren't really part of that specific wiki's community to show that they approve of the work that the community there has done, but I don't see this feature being used in that manner so much as it being used as a way for other members of that community to pat each other on the back for a job well done. Not to say that communities supporting and encouraging each other in this way is a bad thing, but I don't feel that this should be done directly on the article itself, but rather that it be reserved for more informal places like forums or chatrooms. But only time will tell, I suppose.

Finally, I'd like to see what this feature looks like with five or six likes as opposed to just one. Can we have an image of that as well, please?
