The 'Thanks notification' offers a new way to give positive feedback on Wikipedia. This experimental feature lets editors send a private 'Thank you' notification to users who make useful edits -- by clicking a small 'thank' link on their history or diff page.

Not saying that's an excellent answer - I am not defending anything here. Just saying that this is what I believe to be the answer, and now you know it too. [[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp|talk]]) 07:57, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

:Thanks for the feedback. This seems like such an easy addition to provide users who primarily edit from their phones. I’m aware there are limitations and security concerns regarding Wiki’s mobile users. However simplifying the process to show gratitude doesn’t seem like a feature they need to worry about being exploited. For some reason it seems like Wikipedias C-suite is committed to branding mobile browsing as inferior. Given well over 60% of website traffic now comes from mobile browsing this is something they will need to quickly reconsider.

== Public thanks question is confusing ==

:: I honestly don't think "60% of website traffic now comes from mobile" is the relevant metric here. I think the relevant metric is "how much Wikipedia editing is done on mobile", and I think this is a far lower number - editing is an inherently complex task that simply is much easier accomplished if you have a full keyboard, a mouse, and a big screen. That is to say, I believe Wikipedia's focus on the desktop experience - for <u>editors</u> mind you, I don't doubt your figure is accurate for <u>readers</u> - is likely a rational priority, even though it can come across as old-fashioned. Compare code editors for programmers, video editing, page layout and other creation software, invariably geared toward desktop users.

== Couldn't thank an editor who helped me at the Help Desk ==

Although it is explained and cleared in the [[Help:Notifications/Thanks#Confirmation]], I had for a long time just clicked away thinking that by confirming it would then send some message to the user talk page and "spamming" or bring me to their talk page, and polluting it. There are probably other editors that may also be hesitant to use this Thank function because of this. Anyway, just my 2 cents. —[[User:Arthurfragoso|Arthurfragoso]] ([[User talk:Arthurfragoso|talk]]) 00:43, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

: Thank you for your feedback. Could I ask you what you actually think is wrong here - as far as I can read you you're saying "For a long time I thought this, but then I read a section on our help page, and now I understand." But I'm likely wrong, which is why your further input would be appreciated. Thanks, [[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp|talk]]) 07:51, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

:: When I mouseover the Thank button it says: "Send a thank you notification to this user", So I then click on this and I get: "Publicly send thanks? Thank | Cancel". It then made me think: "oh, there is a way to privately send to the notification bar and also a way to send it publicly? How can I send only the (private) notification? ''Is it a two step process?'' Was my Thank already sent and if I click on cancel will it be canceled altogether? Oh, I don't want to do it publicly, I will just ignore it (not clicking in neither "Thank" or "Cancel") and try when I see a big edit very deserving of a public thanks to see how this works."

:: So, to fix this, I would suggest to just change the confirmation question to: "Do you confirm to send a thanks? Thank | Cancel"

:: But then if this have to be specified that it is public, as a privacy awareness of the action, (If someone is paranoid of someone tracking their thanks), I don't think it is much necessary, and I can't think of a way to not over complicate this, but maybe a link to this page somewhere could help, like: "Do you confirm to send a thanks? Thank | Cancel - Help/How dos this work?" —[[User:Arthurfragoso|Arthurfragoso]] ([[User talk:Arthurfragoso|talk]]) 22:49, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

:::Please see [[#Thank button should link to this help page, revisited]] above, and the two tdiscussions that its first post links to. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] &#x1f339; ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 23:41, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Using this Help Talk page for guidance about how to thank someone — a senior editor who gave me guidance in a reply to a question I'd asked at the Help Desk — I found when I went to the History tab for the Help Desk, only my own name appeared, not the editor's.

== Suggestion: do not allow thanking of people who have disallowed thanks ==

I think something must not be clear in your guidance, unless somehow I'm off track here. [[User:Augnablik|Augnablik]] ([[User talk:Augnablik|talk]]) 15:32, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Currently, it's possible to disallow thanks, which means that you don't see them, but does not in any way prevent other users from ''sending'' them. (It's rather like an e-mail blacklist which deletes incoming mail without notifying the sender.) I think it would be better if it were impossible to send thanks to users who have disabled thanking. The thanks "button" would not appear for edits by those users. You would not be able to thank them, regardless of whether they'd see it or not.

:Hi [[User:Augnablik|Augnablik]] "Thanks", using this method, are not edits, so should not appear an any page history. Looking at your contributions (click your contributions tab, go to the bottom of that page and click "edit count" (you may have to log in) and under "Actions" you should find the "Thank" entry) This currently shows you have issued 3 thanks, and lists who you thanked and when when you did it. It also shows, under "Basic information", that you have received 8 thanks, and who from and when. - Best wishes - [[User:Arjayay|Arjayay]] ([[User talk:Arjayay|talk]]) 15:41, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

::@[[User:Arjayay|Arjayay]], it's true that I've issued thanks some time ago — but I forgot what I did. It's long been on my mind to relearn that. Today when I came across Notifications/Thanks, I decided that would be the perfect time to do so.

::I read this at Notifications/Thanks:

::To allow you to thank users, a "thank" link is shown on the history pages and diff page for each edit by a logged-in user (next to "undo"). This link has a title (displayed as a tooltip in most graphical browsers) that reads "Send a thank you notification to this user."

::I guess I misread which History page to go to, as I definitely thought it would be the one for the Help Desk in this particular case. Somehow, I have a kind of queasy feeling about issuing a thank-you at this point in my progress along the Wiki learning curve, although as you noted, I've done it a few times before. This is where — as an educator in real life — I wish I had a lesson to follow with several cases to practice with, and then some test questions to prove I understood what to do. [[User:Augnablik|Augnablik]] ([[User talk:Augnablik|talk]]) 18:00, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

:::[[User:Augnablik|Augnablik]] "Thanks" can only be issued for a specific edit, and only to registered users, not IPs.<br>Where you see the edit could be in several places: in the article history page, in a diff for a specific edit, in your watchlist, or in the editors contributions. (There may be more, but I can't think of them at the moment). After the edit details the last word is "thank" - hovering over it (in desktop) should show "Send a thank you notification to this user" Clicking on that should show "Publicly send thanks? Thank Cancel" click on the "thank" and it's done. Best wishes - [[User:Arjayay|Arjayay]] ([[User talk:Arjayay|talk]]) 18:24, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

::@[[User:Arjayay|Arjayay]], I wanted to thank you for pointing out this part of my Contributions page. Never knew about it before. The fact that it's in such small print was no doubt why I missed it before. Wow, what an amazing trove of information about us editors is there. Wish I'd known about this earlier.

::That said, it's also a little unsettling to think that every little thing you did has been captured. A bit "Big Brothery." 😗 [[User:Augnablik|Augnablik]] ([[User talk:Augnablik|talk]]) 10:17, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

{{tq|This is where — as an educator in real life — I wish I had a lesson to follow with several cases to practice with, and then some test questions to prove I understood what to do.}} This function is meant to be very simple and direct: find an edit you like extra much (but not so much you feel like responding on a talk page), you visit the page's history and click "thank" for the edit in question. Boom, done. The only "lesson", "case", or "test question" needed is this: try thanking one of this talk page's recent edits, [[User:Augnablik|Augnablik]]. Nobody's gonna get cross for being thanked out of the blue! But you can specifically thank my edit (this edit) if you want. If you do so I will thank your latest edit on this page to confirm you have mastered the functionality! After that, there really isn't more to it... [[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp|talk]]) 18:55, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

:I think you got thanked for your comment here, @[[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]], although when I clicked on the Thank link, it did not show me "Publicly sent thanks?", which is fine.

:I see now that I was confused by what I read at Notifications/Thanks — "This experimental feature lets editors send a private 'Thank you' notification to users who make useful edits -- by clicking a small 'thank' link on their history or diff page." You see, I don't think I ever heard of my own History page. It seems to be the same thing that Arjayay mentioned a few replies up from this that I can access by going to the bottom of my Contributions page. All this is new to me, and I'm delighted to know about it.

:Up to now, I thought a History page was associated with messages to another editor or about an article. I think it would help other editors, at least those in the newbie or toddler stage, to have a little more explanation about this. I hope I was clear enough about what I believe my problem was, as I know from someone who seems to be a senior editor that other more advanced editors sometimes don't quite get what less advanced editors are screwed up about because to them — who've reached clear blue skies at last — there's no problem at all. [[User:Augnablik|Augnablik]] ([[User talk:Augnablik|talk]]) 10:08, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

::{{replyto|Augnablik}} People can find out who you have thanked (and the date and time), and who has thanked you (also the date and time). Here are my logs: [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=thanks&user=Redrose64 sent]; [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=thanks&page=User%3ARedrose64 received]. But nobody apart from the recipient (not even the sender) can find out ''why'' the thank was given.

::Every page has a history and it's reachable in two ways. First, when viewing any page (including a diff), there is a "History" tab at the top. Second, when looking at somebody's contributions, or at your watchlist, there are "hist" links on every entry, just after the "diff" links.

::The "thank" links occur in many places. On a page history the "thank" link is on every entry just after the "undo" link, and on a diff it's also just after the "undo" link. On your watchlist they are the last item in each entry. On contributions pages (except IPs your own) they're the second-last item on each entry (last item if there are no tags). In all of these cases, the "thank" link is not shown for your own edits (you cannot thank yourself) nor for edits made by IPs. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] &#x1f339; ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 16:07, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I will confirm your attempt at thanking me did not succeed, [[User:Augnablik]], though your [[Help:Notifications|mention]] did. However, I feel it is time to remind everybody this page is not a get-help or general support page; talk pages are about discussing improvements of their subjects, in this case [[Help:Notifications/Thanks]]. Maybe a better space for your inquiries into how Wikipedia works in general would be the [[Wikipedia:Teahouse|Teahouse]], where friendly editors will shortly answer your general help questions. I highly recommend a visit if you have further how-to questions. Regards [[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp|talk]]) 18:57, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

== Lack of confirmation on mobile ==

I accidentally thanked an edit I disagreed with on the mobile app, as I thought the "thank" button was the button to go to the article Talk Page (as it is a chat bubble icon, which would also make sense as a button to go to the Talk Page). Considering it's a slightly ambiguous symbol, could there at least be a confirmation like there is on desktop? [[User:4300streetcar|4300streetcar]] ([[User talk:4300streetcar|talk]]) 03:15, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:Hello @[[User:4300streetcar|4300streetcar]],

:This is Amal Ramadan, I am Sr. Movement Communications Specialist and I work with the mobile apps team at the foundation; thanks for pointing this out — really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with the “Thanks” button on the mobile app.

:To help the apps team look into it, would you mind sharing a bit more about what happened?

:* Were you using the Android or iOS app?

:* Do you remember what steps you took before the “Thank” was sent? (For example, were you viewing a diff or looking at the edit history?)

:* Was the confusion mainly because of the icon, the lack of a confirmation step, or a mix of both?

:* In your view, what would be a better or clearer experience?

:Anything else you think might be helpful is more than welcome. Thanks again!

:--[[User:ARamadan-WMF|ARamadan-WMF]] ([[User talk:ARamadan-WMF|talk]]) 12:42, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

::Hello Amal - thanks for getting back.

::* I was using the iOS app

::* I was browsing edits on my watchlist, and pressed to the page for the particular edit/revision. From there I was trying to get to the "Talk" page of the article to discuss that edit.

::* I would say both. The icon has no text, and the icon could plausibly be interpreted as a Talk Page button (since it has a chat bubble), though come to think of it it would be a bit strange to have button on the edit/revision page to go to the talk page. I'm also used to seeing a confirmation before sending thanks (since I mostly edit on desktop), so I wasn't simply pressing that button would send thanks.

::* In my opinion, adding a confirmation should be sufficient to prevent unintentionally sending thanks from pressing that button. Perhaps the icon can be clearer (e.g. 👍, 🙏,🙌, or 🤝, which in the US are commonly used to express thanks), though given Wikipedia operates across numerous languages and cultures, it's perhaps hard to find an icon that universally conveys thanks (e.g. 👍 is offensive in some cultures). But I think confirmation is enough.

== Thank log should also show the content of what was thanked for ==

{{tracked|T51087}}

Hi, I am an active user on non-English Wikipedia. I would like to ask a few questions related to the Thanks feature but the topic is only available on [[:mediawikiwiki:Extension:Thanks|Thanks extension]] and also this help page about Thanks feature instead of my home wiki page.

When I want to have a look on the Thanks log, I could only get the result such as "00:00, 22 December 2025 Person A (talk | contribs) thanked Person B (talk | contribs)". Is it possible for the log to also record the reason why the thank is given, for example "00:00, 22 December 2025 Person A (talk | contribs) thanked Person B (talk | contribs) for what action on which revision/page"?

::@[[User:Redrose64|Redrose64]]: Thank you for your input. I am currently satisfied with the tips from @[[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] regarding this matter. [[User:Hakimi97|Hakimi97]] ([[User talk:Hakimi97|talk]]) 23:48, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

To add to Redrose64's response, [[User:Hakimi97]], we should also ask ourselves two questions:

Rationale: Suppose that Alice (A) has disabled thanks, but Bob (B) wants to thank her. If B thanks A, that notification will never be seen, and B may possibly (over time, and many thankings) feel snubbed or ignored. On the face of it, that's B's problem: but the issue is that ''B thinks he is interacting'', while A is ''totally oblivious and unable to know this''. It would be better if B simply knew "I cannot thank A", and did not get misled about ''what A thinks or knows about B''.

* a) Do we really want to make this change?

More pragmatically, it would also save some small amounts of editors' time, since it's particularly stupid if people are firing off thanks into an unreadable void, when they could be editing instead (or perhaps writing meaningful talk-page messages).

* b) Was the details of the thanks omitted on purpose from the Thanks log? If so, why?

I personally think a) we don't want to make this change and b) the thanks log intentionally omits the content of what was thanked for.

[[User:Equinox|Equinox]] [[User_talk:Equinox|◑]] 05:29, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

: Even more pragmatically: your rationale is reasonable, but the likelihood the WMF programmers will ever make this change is what I would estimate as "slim to none", based on limited resources alone. {{pb}} However, there's another issue that makes it, I think, even less likely: do you know how privacy controls (various ignore or block functions) are instituted on various discussion forums? To crudely summarize (this can be nitpicked, but I'm trying to make a point): The fact that B feels snubbed is given much less importance than honoring A's choice. To the point where allowing B to think he's interacting is '''desirable''', if it means B doesn't realize A is ignoring him so he doesn't think to attempt contacting A in other ways. {{pb}} To state this clearly: the drive to protect people from online harassment has meant that what programmers used to do without a second thought - have their programs clearly inform users when actions does not have the expected result - is entirely out of fashion nowadays. Nowadays, [[shadowbanning]] is a thing. Honoring A's choices is deemed more important than giving B perfect service, even if B is genuinely caused confusion. Not signaling A's choice (to disallow thanks) is prioritized over telling B they're wasting their time. {{pb}} I do need to clarify (addressing everyone in the room, not talking to Equinox specifically): Thanks is '''never''' meant to require a response. Do not expect to '''ever''' be "rewarded" for using Thanks. If you cannot bring yourself to use the offered functionality purely out of the good of your heart, consider not using Thanks at all. Thanks for listening :) {{pb}} Now back to my reply - let me close off by saying that I am '''not''' equating Wiki's Thank function with the privacy controls of social media, and I am '''not''' suggesting anyone has done anything wrong, or that they try to change Thanks to allow harassment. I am merely drawing a comparison in order to explain why, despite characterizing Equinox' idea as reasonable, I think leaving the system as-is is considered to have enough value, that even if WMF had limitless programming resources, they might ''still'' not act upon this suggestion. {{pb}} Best regards, [[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp|talk]]) 07:26, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

::I can add to CapnZapp's reply. I have not disallowed thanks from others, and I am often thanked by B and others. But, I am not obliged to use the [[Special:Notifications]] feature to see who has thanked me; if I do, I can straight away use the "Mark all as read" feature to unburden me from seeing who they came from; if I look at the user name, I am not obliged to follow the link to see what I was thanked for. I certainly don't send back thanks-for-the-thanks messages, that way lies ping-pong. None of my actions or inactions are publically recorded, although the entries data tables do have non-public flags to show whether the notification is "read", thus whether it is to be counted at the page top or not. So if B thanks me, B has no way of knowing if I have read it or not, so B has no way of knowing whether to feel snubbed or not. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] &#x1f339; ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 09:01, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

:::: When you say {{tq|I have not disallowed thanks from others}} I'm sure you realize what you meant to say was "I have not disabled being notified when others thank me", [[User:Redrose64]].

I believe this is for privacy purposes (my personal belief only). Remember, the Thanks log (like most everything else on Wikipedia) is public. It shouldn't be too hard to construct a scenario where a user could conceivably hesitate to use the Thanks functionality if they knew others could see exactly for what they thanked somebody.

== Allow Thanks to Anonymous users ==

Remember what our help page states:

I was going to use the Anonymous user who edited after my first recent edit [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Muses_in_popular_culture&action=history here] as example. Luckily, first, I realized the user's edit had been a removal not an addition. (Didn't pay enough attention to the colors' code.) I cross-checked, then, the claim in the Edit summary that the removal was of a duplication and found that what remained didn't include a nice extra piece of info in the bullet point that was removed, hence my ''most'' recent edit of the [[Muses in popular culture]] article. '''Now''' I can ''still'' use this first-edit [[Special:Contributions/2601:19B:C600:8900:53A2:B9A0:508B:13FD|Anonymous user]] as an example. I'd like to thank the user for finding and removing the partial duplication. (If I'm extra-dedicated I'd also do a custom recruitment pitch TO the user (maybe drawing attention to the flaw in the user's edit, maybe not).) In any event '''Anonymous users are potential named or pseudo-nymed users and a Thanks is cheap and appropriate for Anon's too (in any event)''' I feel. [[User:Swliv|Swliv]] ([[User talk:Swliv|talk]]) 17:54, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

: You are correct in that you cannot thank anonymous IP edits. Enabling this is not likely. Do check out the available [[Help:Notifications/Thanks#Alternatives|alternatives]]. I would especially recommend you to consider using the {{tl|Thanks}} template, specifically intended as a substitute for the built-in "Thank" feature for use with unregistered editors. Cheers [[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp|talk]]) 19:24, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

:''The Thanks log does not record which particular edit of yours triggered the thanks. To find that out, go to your Notification archive: Special:Notifications, which does show the edit for which you were thanked.''

== Having to confirm giving Thanks is annoying ==

In other words, the functionality already exists, except ''it is available only to the person thanked''. I believe this is intentional.

I have been editing Wikipedia since 2006. I give Thanks fairly often. For such a simple device as Thanks, it did not occur to me to look for documentation.

As for actually changing this, I highly recommend what [[WP:BUGS]] suggests: that you first discuss this on the Technical Village pump before filing a task on Wikimedia's Phabricator - make sure you have consensus before going forward, or your efforts will (very) likely be wasted. Regards [[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp|talk]]) 21:25, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

I just looked for and found the documentation after giving several consecutive Thanks and then being annoyed at having to acknowledge that I meant it each time. I have been annoyed for the same thing many times before, but I was never sufficiently motivated do do something about it. Now I see that the Thanks is only infinitesimally public, there is even less reason for warning the Thank-er that the Thanks will be public. I would not mind if you showed only the Thank-er a link or button to undo the Thanks.
