Help:Notifications/Thanks

The Thanks extension allows users to thank other users for individual edits.

The Thanks notification offers a new way to give positive feedback on Wikipedia. The purpose of this feature is to give quick positive feedback to recognize productive contributions. It allows for editors to give others positive feedback for their edits.

The Thanks notification shows up in the notifications detailing: the person who has thanked you, edit you are being thanked for, and a message from that user.



"Thanks" should be simple, personal messages of gratitude, rather than a public endorsement of edits. They do get noted in Special: Log/thanks for now in case sysops or anyone else want to monitor the volume. It is important to use them in a specified manner.
