Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used [[m:global message delivery|global message delivery]] (or its [[w:en:User:EdwardsBot/Spam|English Wikipedia counterpart]]). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-) |
|||
For the past few months, [[w:en:User:Legoktm|Legoktm]] has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called [[mw:Extension:MassMessage|MassMessage]]. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-) |
|||
You can test out MassMessage here: '''[[testwiki:Special:MassMessage]]'''. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new <code><nowiki>{{#target:}}</nowiki></code> parser function. For example, <code><nowiki>{{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org}}</nowiki></code>. For detailed instructions, check out [[mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage]]. |

If you find any bugs, have suggestions for additional features, or have any other feedback, drop a note at [[m:Talk:MassMessage]]. Thanks for spamming! --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 05:26, 1 October 2013 (UTC) |

Help test better mass message delivery
Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used global message delivery (or its English Wikipedia counterpart). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-)
For the past few months, Legoktm has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called MassMessage. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-)
You can test out MassMessage here: testwiki:Special:MassMessage. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new {{#target:}} parser function. For example, {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales}} or {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org}}. For detailed instructions, check out mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage.
If you find any bugs, have suggestions for additional features, or have any other feedback, drop a note at m:Talk:MassMessage. Thanks for spamming! --MZMcBride (talk) 05:26, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
