Usage

This template supplements the built-in "Thank" feature for use with temporary accounts, not only thanking them, but also encouraging them to sign up. To use it, add {{subst:thanks}} ~~~~ to the user's talk page.

To link to a specific page that the user edited, use the parameter page. To link to a specific diff at that page, use the parameter diff. Note that diff will be ignored if page is not specified.

{{subst:thanks|page=Main Page}} produces

Hello, and thank you for lending your time to help improve Main Page! If you are interested in continuing to edit, I suggest you make an account to gain a bunch of privileges. Happy editing!

{{subst:thanks|page=Main Page|diff=139992}} produces

Hello, and thank you for lending your time to help improve Main Page! If you are interested in continuing to edit, I suggest you make an account to gain a bunch of privileges. Happy editing!

To exclude the green box image add no as an unnamed parameter, e.g. {{subst:Thanks|no}} or {{subst:thanks|no|page=Main Page|diff=139992}}. Note there is no happy face to the right of this paragraph.
