What does the question in the tour have unnecessary thanks in it?

Question

Why does the example question on the tour page have unnecessary thanks in it?

Should this be removed from the example question, as it seem to me that this is discouraged?

Answer 1

It additionally had a pretty non-ideal tag on it for after-effects even though it is looking for alternatives, not actually about after effects. I cleaned that up, but looks like there may be some caching involved. I believe the question may have been picked at random when they put the new tour in. I wasn't even aware of the feature showing it with an actual question, though I see we can change the question if we feel like another question would be a better sample.

Answer 2

I agree and suggested an edit to that effect.
