--- Comment #4 from Ryan Kaldari <[email protected]> --- >I would think it would be more useful to have the edit in the log because once >it scrolls off your notification flyout/page, how else are you going to >remember what it was? Thanks are intended to be ephemeral. I wouldn't expect someone to go trawling through the logs to find old thanks for themselves. That's not the intended use of the logging. >Also, having it public in the log (which I'm sure few will find) will make it >easy to validate claims of people sarcastically thanking people in an attempt >to harass them. This seems like a more realistic use case and one that is probably worth discussing. Although I think there are far more effective ways to harass people on Wikipedia, it is a possible issue. My personal opinion would be to wait and see if this actually emerges as an issue before changing the log entries. I can also imagine cases where not including the edit may actually reduce conflict. For example, if you want to thank an editor for reverting a persistent vandal or POV-pusher, or you want to thank an admin who warned an editor who was harassing you. Just some things to think about. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
