But nor are AbuseFilter logs and they are included in CU logs, and are actually very useful. ==== Justification Users that are blocked or are actively evading the project may still use Thanks to "silently" interact with other users. This can help us have more recent CU logs for them during this period of inactivity. ==== Considerations Adding Thanks logs will make `cu_changes` table larger. We should get an estimate of by how much, considering that `cu_changes` is already pretty large for largest wikis (such as enwiki or wikidatawiki).
