Brandon Harris explicitly stated that "the policy for deployment of
the tool is that it is by request only, and the requesting wiki must
... show community consensus."

That leaves three possibilities:

A) Community consensus was demonstrated at the English Wikipedia.
B) The WikiLove deployment policy was violated.
C) The above statement by Brandon Harris is incorrect.
