Bug ID: 46820
Summary: Don't allow someone to thank the same person twice for
the same revision
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Thanks
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently, if the user hard refreshes the page or opens another view of the
same revision (say, diff view when you were previously on History), you can
thank the same user twice for the same revision.
This is potentially very confusing, since it appears like your previous thank
you did not take effect. We should do our best to disallow this.
I understand that, in order to keep this feature lightweight, we're not
creating database tables etc. to keep a log of thanks. And that's probably good
since it could easily grow right along with revision tables once enabled.
As an interim solution, I'd support even a half-measure like preventing
duplicate thanks for 24 hours at least, such as by remembering the thank yous
for the duration of your session (tied to the session cookie, maybe using
memcached, etc.).
