Bug ID: 56155
Summary: Add a way to thank users for new articles
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Thanks

The thanks extension currently allows users to thank other users for edits. It
should also be possible to thank other users for articles they created. I see
two possible UIs for this:
First, add a thank button to Special:NewPages
This has the drawback that unexperienced patrollers may thank users for
vandalism/spam.
But on the flip side, it may help in editor retention.
The other way could be to add a thank button at the bottom of the page
alongside the [Mark this page as patrolled] button.
This would help patrollers to verify that the article is not spam/vandalism,
and then users can be thanked on the click of a button.
As of now, thanking users for their creation of the article (i.e first edit of
the article) is possible, but for that one has to see the page listed at
Special:NewPages, then open the article to see if its vandalism/spam or an
actual article, then go to the history of the page and click the thanks button.
It'd save a few pageloads if the thanks button was more easily accessible.
