Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Thanks}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot.

Usage

This template is primarily intended as a substitute for the built-in "Thank" feature for use with unregistered editors. To use it, add {{subst:thanks}} ~~~~ to the user's talk page.

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 your contributions to Main Page! If you are interested in editing more often, I suggest you create an account to gain additional privileges. Happy editing!

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

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Main Page! If you are interested in editing more often, I suggest you create an account to gain additional 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.
