Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Miscellaneous/Possibility of thanking for more subsequent edits
Appearance
Possibility of thanking for more subsequent edits
- Problem: Somebody made subsequent edits in a single article in a short period of time. I see them in my watchlist and I can add "thanks" for a single edit. But when I open the diff (example), I must first go to history, select one of edits and thank for single edit only.
- Proposed solution: For subsequent edits of one user, provide the [thank] link in the diff view.
- Who would benefit: Editors and watchlist users
- More comments: The notification could read "You received thanks for your edits in <compare link>".

I would very much appreciate this. It's sort of stupid to thank someone for the last edit in a link, one that was probably a minor fix to spelling, when you really appreciated the series of edits. Daniel Case (talk) 00:00, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
You could just thank the largest edit. I don't think thanking a range would be hard technically, but for a less experienced user the link to a combined diff might be less understandable than the diff to a single edit. They will still see the specifics of their last edit (timestamp, edit summary etc) as that's how range diffs are displayed. (The task for improving that is T14191.) --Tgr (talk) 03:55, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- The problem is that I usually see only the last in a series of edits. Or no one edit is the one I found most helpful. Daniel Case (talk) 06:21, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

- Support Yep. My personal experience exactly (of giving them). And on the risk of adding idea on top of another idea, Why can't we add our custom thank you message? We can avoid the technical limitation (or difficulty) in granting this wish, if we could just say when we thank someone, "Thank you for <insert your personal thank you notes here>" instead. ✒ Bennylin 10:04, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
