It would be convenient if there were thumbs up and thumbs down buttons next to the reply link. Clicking on them would allow you to select what type of support/oppose template you want to add (support, approve, etc.) and then it would add it.

hi @Lectrician1 – we appreciate you stopping to share this idea.
A resulting question for you: Are you able to share a link to a discussion you could imagine yourself using functionality expressing approval, support, disapproval, etc. within?
In the meantime, here is a link to the ticket where we we have been exploring functionality similar to what I understand you to be describing: T259865.
Often there are simple ideas that I support and maybe others do as well on the English Wikipedia's Village Pump but I don't always edit the topic and show my support.
Understood; this context is helpful...thank you for sharing it.
The English Wikipedia doesn't use {{support}} and similar templates. See this 2018 TFD and this 2021 RFC. These kinds of templates are widely used elsewhere.
