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