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.



The "Thanks" feature should be used as a simple, personal messages of gratitude, rather than a public endorsement of edits. However, they do get noted for Special: Log/thanks to monitoring the volume. It is important to not abuse this feature.
