Project documentation: IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation

User story & summary:

• Temporary account holders should be able to receive Thanks.
• Temporary account holders should not be able to send Thanks.

Background & research:

This decision was made for the following reasons:

• ensuring Thanks isn't an abuse vector
• ensuring (where it makes sense) Temp account UX is similar to the current IP editor UX
• ensuring we aren't picking an unnecessarily complex technical solution (By default temp accounts can receive Thanks. Since this feature has been shown to help with short-term retention, I don't think there is reason to devote time to disabling the ability to Thank a temp account).

Testing:

• Test from a regular account: sending Thanks to a temp account
• Test from a Temp account: receiving Thanks from a regular account.
• Test from a Temp account: should not see the option to send Thanks.
• Test Special:Log to view the Thanks log to ensure the temp account name is displayed correctly.

Acceptance Criteria:

Given I'm logged out or logged into a Temp account,
When I view a page that displays Thanks,
Then I don't see the option to send Thanks.

Given I'm logged into a regular / named account,
When I view a page that displays Thanks,
Then I can send Thanks to a temp account.
