Per offline discussion, deploying "Thanks" is blocked on scaling Usability improvements to all wikis (T310959), which is nearly complete
Reason: it’s important the scope of visual changes we’re introducing to talk pages align, as closely as possible, with the set of changes we tested in the a/b test.
Is there instrumentation to understand the usage of this feature? I guess we could look at API usage of discussiontoolsthank and/or data associated with Echo notifications that comment thanking will generate?
Yeah - there is only one place in the UI to thank a comment, so that would be sufficient for now.
@ppelberg @Esanders what is the timeline for deploying this feature?
I'm asking because we intend to release Incident-Reporting-System to a single pilot wiki in December; one of the entry points to the incident reporting system is the ellipsis menu that the comment thanking feature also uses. There is no dependency between these two features, but both share the same entrypoint (the ellipsis menu) which is not yet enabled in production, so wanted to give you a heads-up on this.

Perhaps we can use the click tracking in WikimediaEvents for this https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/WikimediaEvents/+/4444b848bf1dfcf2a4918f02e110a2f2b403736f/modules/ext.wikimediaEvents/clickTracking/webUIClick.js
