Board Thread:New Features/@comment-4259726-20180408124141

I originally brought this up at RuneScape:Forum:Port_Thanks_extension_from_Wikipedia, where I was told that something like this couldn't be done well on a per-wiki basis. Wikipedia in 2013 gained a rather nice feature in the form of the Thanks extension. It's described more fully at wikipedia:WP:Notifications/Thanks, but in a nutshell, the idea is to put a "thank" button in edit histories, e.g. next to the undo button. Clicking it sends a little notification to the user responsible. It makes sense to be able to quickly give positive feedback to people, rather than only contacting editors when their edits are wrong in some way.

I'm aware that Wikia can't just install the Thanks extension since it doesn't use the Echo notification system, but I do think it would be worthwhile implementing this for Wikia sites.
