Hi @IM3847:. Thanks for your proposal. Do you also have a location in mind where the "Thank" button can be moved to instead? -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 21:15, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. I have seen many complaints since notifications have been implemented from editors/users(?) who feel that notifications are used to harass them. BTW where can users find more about notifications and interact with the developers about them? Ottawahitech (talk) 14:24, 18 November 2017 (UTC) Please ping me[reply]

I missed this the first time a looked at the proposals. I use a script to add thank links to my watchlist and I place it next to the diff links (cur | prev | thanks ). Though after thinking it through I can see the reasoning for the placement after the edit summary, it works against my workflow (reading diff with popups, thanking the edit).

Oppose - The thanks and undo button change depending on things like section header length, edit summary length and IP or name length - I've made 500 undos and 3,456 thanks and in that time I believe I've only hit "diff" twice if that (and I only would've hit it because my watchlist occasionally jumps when it loads the announcements/messages on the watchlist) - The location of these (as far as I know) have never been an issue and imho they still aren't an issue - Don't fix what isn't broken. –Davey2010^Talk 16:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Both require a confirming action, so this hasn't been a problem for me, and I like having both links more or less where they are. I'd like to be able to optionally specify a thanks reason, tho, which might make it easier to mistake. I'd support anything that would make them more distinct without moving them too far.
