Wiki and talk are very different mediums - I'm not at all sure that thanks-
magnets (good or bad) would always transfer that well to the wiki. From a 
karma aspect it's also not perfect as you don't 'own' your wiki page.

I was not talking about bonuses :) While we are at it, though, there is 
something I'd like to note - I don't take karma as a measure of invested 
effort, but as measure of a result/usefulness of those efforts. Saying otherwise 
is, to me, like saying qwerty12 should not get any karma for hacking as it's 
just too easy for him to do that :)
