[Tagging] An after-burner meta-discussion

[David Marchal]

AFAIK, the "thank" action only notifies the author; one could see that as an attaboy: the thanked person knows that someone liked his/her edit, but that's all. Hardly a reputation system…

The RFC you pointed gives sound advice about how to manage this result.

Later a system was implemented which allows to thank the author of a wiki edit. Unfortunately, as stats are not visible (you cannot see how many thanks an authors has received, neither in total nor for a specific edit, nor does it seem the authors themselves are notified, or maybe nobody ever thanked me), and as there is still no way to express dissent with an edit (apart from discussing it and or reverting it), it currently does not seem to do anything.
