The Thanks feature currently requires JavaScript. However, the "(thank)" link is still displayed when JavaScript is disabled or the browser does not support it. The link is not functional – nothing happens upon clicking it. This can be confusing to users, and is just useless clutter without JavaScript.
Either the "(thank)" link should be hidden from non-JS users, or it should do something when clicked.
I wouldn't have thought this to be too difficult to do without JS: The link target could go to somewhere like /w/index.php?title=Special:Thanks&oldid=REVISION&token=TOKEN, which would show a message such as "Your thanks have been sent to USERNAME.". It's a little clunkier than with JavaScript since it takes you away from the history page, but it's better than a link that does nothing.
