=== Usage ===

This template is primarily intended as a substitute for the [[Help:Thanks|built-in "Thank" feature]] for use with [[WP:IP|unregistered editors]]. To use it, add {{Tlsx|thanks}}<code><nowiki> ~~~~</nowiki></code> to the user's talk page.

To link to a specific page that the user edited, use the parameter <code>page</code>. To link to a specific [[Help:diff|diff]] at that page, use the parameter <code>diff</code>. Note that <code>diff</code> will be ignored if <code>page</code> is not specified.

{{tlm|subst:thanks|page=Main Page}} produces
:[[File:Echo thanks.svg|55px|right|alt=]]Hello, and thank you for {{#if:Main Page|your {{#if:|[[Special:Diff/{{{diff}}}|contributions]]|contributions}} to [[:Main Page|Main Page]]|lending your time to help improve Wikipedia}}! If you are interested in editing more often, I suggest you [[Special:UserLogin/signup|create an account]] to gain [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|additional privileges]]. Happy editing! <!--Template:Thanks-->

{{tlm|subst:thanks|page=Main Page|diff=139992}} produces
:[[File:Echo thanks.svg|55px|right|alt=]]Hello, and thank you for {{#if:Main Page|your {{#if:139992|[[Special:Diff/139992|contributions]]|contributions}} to [[:Main Page|Main Page]]|lending your time to help improve Wikipedia}}! If you are interested in editing more often, I suggest you [[Special:UserLogin/signup|create an account]] to gain [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|additional privileges]]. Happy editing! <!--Template:Thanks-->
{{clear}}
To exclude the green box image add <code>no</code> as an [[Help:Parameters|unnamed parameter]], e.g. {{Tlsx|Thanks|no}} or {{tlm|subst:thanks|page=Main Page|diff=139992|no}}. Note there is no happy face to the right of this paragraph.
