The message "Send public thanks for this edit?" is confusing. People have been known to misinterpret it it as giving the user a choice of "Send public thanks" vs. "Send private thanks". Actually the choice is "Send public thanks" vs. "Don't send thanks". Although the idea of informing users that thanks are public—which some users find mandatory (T90486)—complicates this somewhat, it is easy enough to clarify the function:
Existing language
Changes to be made:
Change language as follows (observing changes in boldface and other styling tweaks, as shown): Publicly send thanks? Thank | Cancel )
- Note that this formulation is the same as what is used on the History page
- Please notice the pipe between links for "Thank" and "Cancel—this device is used elsewhere on this page, so should be acceptable.
- Also note the spaces between "Cancel" and the (apparently required) close paren and also on either side of the pipe. Without these separating spaces the links get confusing.
