Template:Thanks/doc

This template supplements the built-in "Thank" feature for use with temporary accounts, not only thanking them, but also encouraging them to sign up.[a]

Template:Thanks/doc
Not to be confused with Template:Thank you or Template:Thank.

This template supplements the built-in "Thank" feature for use with temporary accounts, not only thanking them, but also encouraging them to sign up.[a]

Usage

To use it, add {{subst:thanks}} ~~~~ to the user's talk page. Only use this on the talk page of a temporary account.

To link to a specific page that the user edited, use the parameter page. To link to a specific diff at that page, use the parameter diff. Note that diff will be ignored if page is not specified.

{{subst:thanks|page=Main Page}} produces

Hello, and thank you for lending your time to help improve Main Page! If you are interested in continuing to edit, I suggest you make an account to gain a bunch of privileges. Happy editing!

{{subst:thanks|page=Main Page|diff=139992}} produces

Hello, and thank you for lending your time to help improve Main Page! If you are interested in continuing to edit, I suggest you make an account to gain a bunch of privileges. Happy editing!

To exclude the green box image add no as an unnamed parameter, e.g. {{subst:Thanks|no}} or {{subst:thanks|no|page=Main Page|diff=139992}}. Note there is no happy face to the right of this paragraph.

Wrapper

Use {{subst:Thanks-autosign}} to invoke this template with an automatic signature.

This version recognizes named parameters (i.e. |page= and |diff=) but ignores unnamed parameters. In other words, you cannot specify "no" to exclude the green box image when you use {{subst:Thanks-autosign}}.

Notes

  1. ^ Before the introduction of Temporary accounts in 2025, unregistered editors used so-called "IP editing". Since IP editors could not be thanked using Notifications/Thanks this template was created. Now edits by temporary accounts can be Thanked, but this template is still offered as an alternative.
