There should be a way of thanking NPP patrollers for reviewing my creations. I think this would improve moral of reviewers and encourage more reviewers since I am sure there is always a backlog.
So a more generic "thank for log entries"?
I was thinking a simple link in the notification for the review.
(In reply to comment #2) > I was thinking a simple link in the notification for the review. Are there log entries for such reviews? Or can we just use patrol/patrol?
The 'patrol' action doesnt always mean the page patroller has accepted the created page. They may have tagged it for deletion and then marked it as patrolled to remove it from the patrol queue. As a result the page creator needs to see what actions have been taken before they thank the page patroller, otherwise they will be thanking the patroller for deleting the page, which is not what they wanted to do. One approach is to wait until echo understands negative feedback, like prod, csd and afd. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo_%28Notifications%29/Feature_requirements#Started_Page_-_Tagged https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo_%28Notifications%29/Feature_requirements#Started_Page_-_Marked_for_deletion The simplest solution is to take the creator to the history tab, where the reader can see the current status, and the 'thanks' buttons are ready to use. I've mentioned that here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Echo_%28Notifications%29/Testing#Links_in_notification_text Another idea is to have a streamlined UI for the article creator to give a specific 'thanks for reviewing my page' WikiLove to a page patroller.

Why not? Some feedback is better than no feedback; we're supposed to be here for a shared goal, if the patrolling action was correct everyone should be happy. We also see people thanking for reverts of their own edits, as far as I know. More in general, I suppose the assumption of the thanks feature is that people are able to discern and have enough context to judge the actions they click "thank" for; if not, why would this feature even exist? > The simplest solution is to take the creator to the history tab, where the > reader can see the current status, and the 'thanks' buttons are ready to use. So your proposal to give users more context is appropriate, but it's a separate enhancement request (doesn't block not is blocked by this one).
