To use it, add {{subst:thanks}} ~~~~ to the user's talk page. Only use this on the talk page of a temporary account.
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.
Hello, and thank you for lending your time to help improve Main Page! If you are interested in continuing to edit, I suggest you make an account to gain a bunch of 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.
This version recognizes named parameters (i.e. |page= and |diff=) but ignores unnamed parameters. In other words, you cannot specify "no" to exclude the green box image when you use {{subst:Thanks-autosign}}.
↑Before the introduction of Temporary accounts in 2025, unregistered editors used so-called "IP editing". Since IP editors could not be thanked using Notifications/Thanks this template was created. Now edits by temporary accounts can be Thanked, but this template is still offered as an alternative.
