Change Details

**User Story:** As a newcomer, I want to see who thanked me and for which edit, because: - Thanks are part of how I understand which edits are valued - Thanks are one of the few positive interactions a newcomer might experience initially - Thanks are one way I can start to feel part of the community --- **Background:** Displaying publicly the number of thanks received is already visible by anyone who wants to use the logs: Special:Log?type=thanks However, the Growth team is considering recording more Thanks data as part of this task: T322166 Not only could newcomers see who thanked them, but they could also see which edit the Thank was for. This data is already shown to the user in Echo notifications, but it's not available elsewhere. We should carefully consider community input, as the Thanks feature was a bit controversial for some users when originally introduced (~2015). - Some were afraid of editors using the number of thanks received as a way to show that they are right about an edit. This is a concern that could be raised again, especially with the API providing this information. - Some others thought Thanks was too similar to social media style "like" system, where likes are the key component of interactions. --- **Acceptance Criteria:** - Discuss with communities and get any general feedback about moving forward with T322166 - Discuss with communities and decide if this data should also be added to Special:Log?type=thanks (But only show the full Thanks info to the logged in user)
