MediaWiki 1.22wmf5, Extension:Thanks 1.0.0
(This started as a discussion at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Notifications/Thanks#JavaScript-only.3F.)
The Thanks feature currently requires JavaScript. However, the "(thank)" link
is still displayed when JavaScript is disabled or the browser does not support
it. The link is not functional – nothing happens upon clicking it. This can be
confusing to users, and is just useless clutter without JavaScript.
Either the "(thank)" link should be hidden from non-JS users, or it should do
something when clicked.
I wouldn't have thought this to be too difficult to do without JS: The link
target could go to somewhere like
/w/index.php?title=Special:Thanks&oldid=REVISION&token=TOKEN, which would show
a message such as "Your thanks have been sent to USERNAME.". It's a little
clunkier than with JavaScript since it takes you away from the history page,
but it's better than a link that does nothing.
