@Jdlrobson & @NRodriguez - pinging you in case you are interested in following this task.

Adding this to the Product Analytics kanban board, keeping the High priority. The plan is to start this work on March 20 to get an initial perspective on the usage of Thanks as it relates to edits made in the most recent months, then go on from there based on what our needs are.

I had asked for the Thanks link to be added to RC pages. I'm wondering if the study maybe doesn't take into account whether most of the user base even knows this feature is now available, as it was conducted right after implementation.

Also, as for the confusing Thanks confirmation, I do wonder if it needs to exist - I mean, is there actually a non-public thanks? Or, is it just a warning that their thanks will be public? At any rate, it's possible that many wishing to give thanks don't notice the confirmation request and move on.

Yes, good point. This analysis was quick and imperfect, since the feature wasn't released as an A/B test. Normally the Growth team would have A/B tested this change to get a better understanding of the impact. However, since the work was tackled outside of the Growth team as part of the Wishathon, it wasn't A/B tested.

Although we didn't find a clear signal that the wider availability of the feature resulted in more edits being thanked, I'm still in support of having Thanks available on pages where it is logical to Thank another editor.

I totally agree. The confirmation message copy and UX is confusing. There is no "non-public thanks", it's just warning that Thanks is public.

My hope is that we can actually instrument Thanks: T71804: Thanks: add instrumentation to Thanks and then eventually work on T333027: Growth design: finalize designs for thanks confirmation UX. As you can see in that second task, we already have some initial design ideas prepared.
The work has somewhat stalled as the Growth team needed to move onto other urgent priorities, but I'm still hoping this is work we can fit in.
