Yes, please. I'm often frustrated at not being able to use Thanks from
my watchlist.

Building in both Thanks and a reply feature for individual edits is
something that Wiki Education Foundation is planning to try for the
RecentActivityFeed course monitoring tool we're working on. In its
first iteration [1], the feed will include inline diffs (as adapted
from Writ Keeper's awesome user script [2]), so that users can see the
details of edits without leaving the page. It makes sense from there
to make it easier to both Thank users and post messages related to
individual diffs.

I suspect it would be a major boon to editor engagement — for Thanks
usage in particular — if the inline diffs concept was adapted to be an
easily accessible option for all users.
