Mass-mail subscription list shells

Below is a list of empty shells that are available for use in the mass message subscription list content model. To use one, go to the page, and move it to the title you want. These pages should typically only be moved to the User and Project namespaces. New shells can be created by administrators and template editors.


General Discussions

Split requests into new page

Hello, after reading and thinking about the comments by Reidgreg and isaacl. I think that there is an argument to be made for splitting requests onto a new page either a subpage or a completley new page (examples Wikipedia:Mass message senders/Requests or Wikipedia:Mass Message Requests). I created Wikipedia:Mass message senders/Requests as an example of what the page could be. I took the core components of Wikipedia:Mass message senders, rewrote them specifically with the idea that the reader would be someone requesting MMS, and then adding the MMS request section at the bottom. It is currently just a first attempt and I realise that I completley missed the Guidance for use section which should proably be included. The way I see it is: You don't see a section on "Becoming an administrator" when you try to edit the main page, why should you see "Requesting rights" and "General discussion" of MMS when trying to request a new message to be sent? It can just overload and act as a barrier for a user with no good reason that I can see as to why this is the case. With this change it can also mean that the page Wikipedia:Mass message senders can be rewritten with a focus on the user right with help for using the tool and what it is rather than a focus on making requests.

Overall just looking for thoughts on this and the new page I created and the idea in general, not looking to reshuffle everything at this very moment. Terasail[✉️] 01:50, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Query re Doug Coldwell GAs

See Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Douglas Coldwell GA list re this AN discussion and this implementation plan.

  1. Can mass message sender be used to send a message (still under development in sandbox) to these 233 GA talk pages?
  2. Do I need to convert the list to Talk:Article name, or can the sender do that convert to get from an article name list to an article talk list ?

@SandyGeorgia yes, I converted for you already to Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Douglas Coldwell GA list/MMStargets. — xaosflux Talk 19:19, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, my aren't you wonderful :) But I already knew that! Thanks! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:33, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I had to move that to Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Doug Coldwell GA list/MMStargets as I had used the wrong main account. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:57, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doug Coldwell GA reviewers

No hurry (I won't need this for a few more days or maybe even a week)!

Followup, for sending a different message to user talk pages, I will need a list of reviewers. From the bottom half only of this page, that is:

can an MMS list of the reviewers be put at:

Thank you :) I will learn to do this myself, but this project is too important/visible for me to mess up on. Several wise editors have advised against using the editor name in the pages, for the same reasoning as used at CCI. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:04, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
