The amount of times I've viewed a photo on Wikipedia and thought wow and wanted to thank the contributor for putting it there for me to see.
Also it always seemed strange to me that I couldn't thank someone for creating a page...

I doubt we would make a whole new backend just for anon recipients of Thanks. That leaves only two possibilities:
- Have Echo support anonymous recipients
(https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56828). Apparently Wikihow has code for this, and there is a WIP patch, but Wikihow doesn't have the exact same infrastructure as us.
- Use an existing backend, probably user talk pages (or maybe Flow user
talk pages, assuming anon talk pages are eventually converted over to this)

You can use thanks on the first edit, can't you?

File Notifications ("Your file was used") and File Feedback ("Thanks", "Favourited") are on the Multimedia Team's planned features list, at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multimedia/2014-15_Goals#Projects (Plus older notes at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multimedia/Feature_ideas#File_notifications )
There is already a "Thank" link in the history page, for the first diff of every page, so we can already do that. Eg. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Ligne_Petite_Ceinture_p... but yes, for Files it would be nice to make it less hidden away. Perhaps "Thank" links at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ligne_Petite_Ceinture_parc_Montsouri... or similar. (because we'll occasionally want to Thank for a later-version) They were considering putting a Thank link in the MV, https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=File:Multimedia_Vision_2016.pdf&... but I'm not sure if that's still the case.
