MassMessage
MassMessage (mensagem em massa) é uma ferramenta que permite que os usuários enviem mensagens a uma lista de usuários rápida e facilmente. Essa ferramenta foi ativada em outubro de 2013.
MassMessage allows local administrators to send out messages to their respective wiki and allows Meta-Wiki administrators to send out messages to users on any Wikimedia wiki.
For general information about how to use the extension, including opt-out instructions, check out Help:Extension:MassMessage.
Please report any bugs or feature requests on the talk page or directly in Bugzilla (create new bug).
Configuração do Meta
Any user with the "massmessage" user right on Meta-Wiki (administrators and massmessage senders) can send messages to any Wikimedia wiki. While you can use the #target parser function; it is recommended that you use {{target}} instead.
Limitações
MassMessage is being deployed to Wikimedia wikis with two limitations: an additional user right and a configuration decision that limits its capabilities.
The additional user right is called "massmessage" and is only assigned to local administrators (sysops) by default. Previously anyone on an on-wiki access list (including non-administrators) could easily send out mass messages. Your local community should consider its options: adding a viral user group (i.e., anyone in the user group can add others to the same user group), allowing administrators to assign the user right in a specific user group, or setting up a "requests" page queue for administrators to process. Please be cognizant of the fact that MassMessage, as its core, does little more than automate what any user could do with browser tabs without even logging in.
The configuration decision restricts local users (except on Meta) from making cross-wiki deliveries. Again, any user can easily open browser tabs and post cross-wiki without even logging in, but the option in the MassMessage extension was disabled, for now.
