On that occasion, do IPs still receive information about messages on their talk page? (Since the orange bar was abolished and they now go through echo notifications all well) Am 10.01.2014 21:29 schrieb "Oliver Keyes" okeyes@wikimedia.org:
For 1: because it'd be impossible to accurately associate notifications with the person, I assume.

These are two reason we don't have Thanks for anonymous editors:
- Anonymous editors don't get notifications
- Multiple editors often share the same IP address
Problem #2 isn't as prominent as it use to be, but there are still many large companies and schools that connect to the internet through a
single
IP. I imagine that once IPv6 is widely in use, this problem will go away and we'll be able to turn on all notifications (including Thanks) for anonymous editors.

- Why not?
- A time limit might help resolve that with ipv4 addresses. Alternately,
thanks could potentially be nice even if they didn't make the edit themselves, since it's the general feeling and such, so just letting that through for ipv4 addresses might be an option.
Mind I'm mostly just echoing something someone else said on IRC just now, but they seem like interesting points to me.
