--- Comment #5 from Nemo <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #4) > The 'patrol' action doesnt always mean the page patroller has accepted the > created page. They may have tagged it for deletion and then marked it as > patrolled to remove it from the patrol queue. > > As a result the page creator needs to see what actions have been taken before > they thank the page patroller, otherwise they will be thanking the patroller > for deleting the page, which is not what they wanted to do. Why not? Some feedback is better than no feedback; we're supposed to be here for a shared goal, if the patrolling action was correct everyone should be happy. We also see people thanking for reverts of their own edits, as far as I know. More in general, I suppose the assumption of the thanks feature is that people are able to discern and have enough context to judge the actions they click "thank" for; if not, why would this feature even exist? > The simplest solution is to take the creator to the history tab, where the > reader can see the current status, and the 'thanks' buttons are ready to use. So your proposal to give users more context is appropriate, but it's a separate enhancement request (doesn't block not is blocked by this one). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
