We do have a great substitute for the like button which is barnstars and
other awards. These are the ones I see frequently used to show appreciation
for specific edits. They could read something on the lines of: "Here I award
you the Humor Barnstar for your great sense of humor shown in this edit
[insert diff here]." Otherwise I see simple thank you's on talk pages.
A like button does make more sense on Commons. But then we have our own
processes there: Featured Pictures/sounds/videos, Valued Pictures and
Quality Images. Those are more useful than liking, and I think would also be
more appreciated by the creators. Not to mention that having an image
included in an article is rewarding by itself.

Thinking loudly: I think that something like like

would give more reasons to continue with editing. Those who like would
have to go to diffs, which would leave the button to more engaged
editors and thus almost strictly internal community issue. Could be
discussed more about options and technical implementation.
Thoughts?
