[Wikimedia-l] thank vs. like
In the Hebrew Wikipedia there's a discussion about the Thanks feature, which raises the following confusion among other things: Why does the person who is sending the thank-you gets a message saying $1 was notified that you liked his/her edit., and the person who receives the thank-you notification sees a message that uses the verb thank? The difference is in the original message in English, and I translated them accordingly, but I am wondering: Is this really good? Maybe both should use the same verb - thank? I can just send a Gerrit patch or open a bug, but it may be worth to discuss it a bit on the wide community level and not only with tech people :) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

According to requirements, probably yes. I can just send a Gerrit patch or open a bug, but it may be worth to discuss it a bit on the wide community level and not only with tech people I assume you read https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49087#c25 (and the rest of the bug)?

So this message, called thanks-thanked-notice in the code, appears to have been added awhile back without sufficient design review or input.[1][2] It's not part of the original design requirements for Thanks. It's unclear from the bug or commit that added it exactly why we need this message, or where it appears. Do you get this via your notifications tray? I'd support simply removing this notification. The UI already makes clear in-line when a thanks was sent. Unless people really requested a read status notification and find it valuable, we should just defer to keeping notifications volume low. 1. https://git.wikimedia.org/commitdiff/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FThanks/ab8b7847c36bf0b053a397ec5689c6a9b9615bd5 2. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63509 ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
