           Summary: Thanks: Implement an undo feature
           Product: MediaWiki extensions

Per discussion in various bugs (bug 59807, bug 61737, bug 53879, bug 47658) and
various threads onwiki,[1] we would like to have a limited Undo feature for
"Thank".

The main difficulty to solve, is that currently a 'Thank' will instantly send
an (email/echo notification) to the target.

Therefor, some sort of backend delay-mechanism is probably needed, 
plus a frontend indication for the Thanker that "undo is possible for x
seconds" or "sending Thank in x seconds. Undo?".  
30 or 60 seconds have been suggested previously.


(Side-notes:
On Desktop, this would replace the current Confirmation-step, from the
history-page and diff-page. It would also bring consistency to the Thank
process in Flow posts (which currently have no confirmation-step).

On Mobilefrontend, it would solve the problem of mis-clicks, without having to
implement a confirmation-step.)
