Thank button should link to this help page, revisited

@CapnZapp, Danski454, Diegodlh, Pdebee, PrimeHunter, Redrose64, and Xaosflux: I'd like to revisit #Thank button should link to this help page because now I know (I think) how to implement it. But since unilaterally submitting a patch doesn't stand a good chance of getting adopted (especially if we were to add an extra button, which would involve changes to the MW core), I'm running a poll at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 178#What should the thanks confirmation be like? Input will be appreciated. Nardog (talk) 07:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

That discussion was never fully resolved. For new readers, the last time this was put forward to the WMF Growth Team, the conclusion was "Volunteers are welcome to work on this but we will not be able to support any work on this due to the other work we are prioritizing at this time." I'm going to guess that the issue can now be viewed as fully resolved as "do nothing, the status quo is good enough". CapnZapp (talk) 13:56, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Example

The recent editing of the firstmost example brought to my attention the huge amount of whitespace that appears (on not-large screens) because that example needs the full width, so it only appears below the huge "Wikipedia Awards" sidebar.

I realized I needed to ask myself "why have that example - we already have sufficient examples?"

The current drive is misguided in my opinion because it makes the example look too much like regular text. But even the previous appearance still creates all that white space.

What I have done now is to simply/boldly remove this example. Does it bring any additional clarity that our existing sidebar examples do not already convey? Is any such added value worth the huge "hole" of white space?

In my opinion, the answer is "no" but feel free to discuss. CapnZapp (talk) 07:23, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
