Bug ID: 55428
Summary: Remove all logging
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Thanks
Assignee: [email protected]

In bug 49087, and in other places, it has been suggested that the partial
logging of thanks actions visible to date is not helpful and should be either
expanded or removed.
In order to prevent aggregation of thanks received on a per-edit basis (ala
Like or +1 button), it is unlikely that logging will be expanded to include
edits etc. In general, thanks are not intended to be public displays of
appreciation for a particular edit, and should remain semi-private or entirely
private between two editors.
Currently, the English Wikipedia's request to hide Thanks logs from the default
view was fulfilled, making the logs something a user needs to actively know
about and seek out specifically. This works for that community, while
potentially letting others see the logs as well.
If we do turn off all public logging of thanks actions, we should consult with
all the communities that currently use Thanks, and gauge their reaction.
