Quiddity <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |DUPLICATE --- Comment #1 from Quiddity <[email protected]> --- The main/brief explanation is in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notifications/Thanks#What_the_feature_is_not Thanks is meant to be a lightweight way to express private appreciation, and not as a way to "endorse" or "up-vote" or "like" someone else's content-edit or talkpage-post. Whilst some people would like a tool to do that, Thanks isn't designed or intended to be that tool, and that's not how editors have been using it so far - A new tool would be needed, as well as a much wider onwiki discussion about how exactly we display and treat (policy/guideline/advice) "upvoted" edits. This has been discussed further at bug 49087 (and its other duplicates) and at various talkpage threads. eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Notifications/Thanks#Public_counters_and_displays HTH *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 49087 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
