There doesn't seem to be a "thank" link in the history.
Topic on Talk:Reading/Web/Advanced mobile contributions/Flow
Yes, there isn't. Because someone thought that people wouldn't likely thank editors without seeing diff first.
Good point!
Occasionally it's obvious from the edit summary, or because the page has a conventional structure (a talk page in the case where I noticed it). Or the user has been already tapping in and out of a few diffs to form a picture of who did what.
But perhaps we should ensure that users are thanking the correct edit by only doing it from the diff screen. A thank can't be undone or revoked afterwards if you tap in the wrong place.
So less a case of something that people don't likely want, more of protecting people from themselves?
Wouldn't the same arguments also apply to Undo?
You have a point. There should be a undo button in diff pages.
Undo is definitely missing there. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191706
Personally I think the lack of thanks outside the diff page is a feature. We've had a lot of complaints about accidental thanks on mobile due to large fingers.
@Pelagic yes good catch. There is a task here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230657.
Thanks for the link to the Phab task, Alex. Should I create an account and comment there? Phabricator seems quite daunting to an outsider.
You can just login with your mediawiki account.
Ok, done. ✅ It's not a transparent SUL account-creation like here at MW: after stepping through OAuth I still needed to register and verify an email.
@FR30799386: Maybe you can deal with the undo task? It seems that it is taking forever.
I'm okay with taking up the task, however, that will require me investing a significant amount of time into the project and may take quite some time.
I am okay with that. It appears that no one is currently working on it.
