Oliver Keyes <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from Oliver Keyes <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #5) > The contents of an on-wiki communication should never be kept confidential. > Keeping "the substance of the thanks private" is inappropriate. So we should also remove the 'email' feature? Here's my thinking here; what we're trying to avoid is a situation where the thanks button can in some way undermine consensus, or be used as a vector for it - we don't need (as you've pointed out, Kww) a situation where an editor justifies themselves based on thirty people hitting 'thank' on their edit. Keeping the subject of the 'thank' unlogged is a way of ensuring that this won't happen; it makes it utterly impossible for anyone to actually justify a statement of "well, lotsa people thought it was a good edit, check out my log". Adding the edits as an element makes this risk more likely, not less. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
