:: That's a good point. I'll try there, but to explain my suggestion: I wanted to give thanks to Kevin Venzke for showing that Symmetrical ICT does not pass FBC. So I thought that the natural way would be to click a "Thank" link on the recent changes page. But there is no such link; to give him thanks, I have to go to Symmetrical ICT, then to its page history, and then there's a thank link for each change. This seems a bit roundabout compared to just having such a link on the recent changes page. [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]] ([[User talk:Kristomun|talk]]) 09:03, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 
::: Ah, now I understand what you're asking for; thanks for the explanation! That would be a change to the extension itself (see "[[mw:Extension:Thanks]]"), though there's also a hacky self-service way of changing it for yourself. As I discovered on the talk page for the extension, someone else [[mw:Extension talk:Thanks#Please_add_a_thanks_button_to_recent_changes_log|also requested the "thanks" link in 2021]], and were pointed to the bug tracker (Phabricator) for the project with a link to [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90404 task T90404 "Add Thank link on Recent Changes pages"] filed in 2015. If you're really feeling dedicated, it would seem that someone else wrote a user script to do this: "[[w:User:Enterprisey/rc-thanks.js]]". That user script ''should'' work on electowiki, but no warranty is expressed or implied. In short, you're not alone in wanting that functionality, and can even use [[w:Wikipedia:User scripts|MediaWiki's userscript functionality]] to get it. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 01:00, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Something seems to be up with the election-methods list. If I try to send messages to it, they just disappear into the void (don't get posted) and I can't access my user settings or ask for a password reminder - it just gives a 500 error. Could you check if something has happened to the server? I sent a mail to you but I'm not sure if that arrived either.

: Hi [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]], your email arrived (and I just responded this evening; sorry again for the slow response). -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 02:50, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
