[[MediaWiki:Thanks-confirmation2/en]]: public or private thanks?
Fragment of a discussion from Support/LiquidThreads
No, the log entry is visible to all users.

OK, the other users can't see why the user was thanked, so I guess it's half private/half public.

I think his suggestion is qualified, at least you should have right to send thanks to a CheckUser action, which should not be public as per Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information
