If the user has JavaScript disabled, clicking
on "thank" will send the user to Special:Thanks
with the revision id already filled in. When
submitted, the form calls the API internally
and then shows the user an error or confirmation
message.
Special:Thanks is not a listed special page
since it's mainly intended as a fallback.
The API was modified to return the user name of the
editor who is being thanked if a new notification
was created.

If the user attempts to thank an anonymous
user, a bot (when $wgThanksSendToBots is not true),
or him/herself, return an error. This is consistent
with the restrictions imposed in insertThankLink().
