Extension:Thanks

Thanks is an extension that allows users to thank other users for individual edits. It adds a 'thank' link next to the 'undo' link in history and diff views. It also provides an API for sending thanks.

Installation

 * 1) Make sure you have the Echo extension installed.
 * 2) Download the latest snapshot and extract it to your extensions directory.
 * 3) Add this to LocalSettings.php:
 * 4) The extension should now be active. Go to the History tab of a page to view the interface.
 * 5) You can also use these configuration options in your LocalSettings.php:
 * 6) * - enable the sending of thanks to bots (default:  )
 * 7) * - enable logging thanks to Special:Log (default:  )

Usage
To thank another user, go to the History tab of any page. Next to each revision will be a 'thank' link. Click the link to send thanks to that user. This link is also available in the diff view.

When the thank link is clicked, the recipient will receive a notification with your thanks via the Echo extension. The thank message is only viewable by the recipient. No record of the action or message are displayed publicly other than a log entry at Special:Log.

If the wiki is using memcached, a rate limit is imposed of no more than 10 thanks per minute per user.
