Updates

Hi all. Just wanted to post about a few new things relating to mass messaging:

  • The mass message extension now respects {{Bots}} - users with {{bots|optout=MassMessage} will now be skipped when mass messages are delivered
  • I made a new userbox, {{User wikipedia/Massmessage-sender2}}, which you may want to use

Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 07:47, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

For any mass message senders: if you ever send a message and then realize that you make a typo, messed up on a link, etc., you can ping me to run User:DannyS712 bot to fix all of the instances of the mistake without triggering the new messages notification. --DannyS712 (talk) 10:11, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

@PorkchopGMX: We normally don't send mass mailings to fewer then 10 users. Do you want this to be run as more of a test? – Reidgreg (talk) 17:53, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Also, we don't have a 'recur' option, you would need to request per-mailing. — xaosflux Talk 20:14, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Ok, i’ll manually send the messages. As for the “recur” thing, I eventually decided that that wasn’t a thing. PorkchopGMX (talk with me - what i've done) 22:52, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

DannyS712 when I did the list last time that question didn't come up but the messages did appear on the talk. So I don't know if someone did that behind the scenes or if the template sorts that out? Best wishes, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:42, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

DannyS712, you're a target of the mailer. Any thoughts? RhinosF1(chat)(status)(contribs) 17:48, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
@RhinosF1: 2 questions - have you discussed this with the wikiproject council / other former members? You say on behalf of WikiProject Apple Inc. Second, you may want to format the message a bit differently - the image makes the text look off, and having the link in a section heading messes with some archive bots (I think). Other than that, it should be okay. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:33, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
DannyS712, Never noticed issues with archive bots due to that before, How do you suggest proceeding in regards to text issues?
And yes, I've spoken to another WikiProject member who is assisting. RhinosF1(chat)(status)(contribs) 21:42, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
@RhinosF1: maybe move it to the right, and but the code before the Hello? Also, if it is being sent on the behalf of both of you, you may want them to sign the message too. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:44, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Ah, beat me to it. All images are appropriately licensed; the newsletter has some {{col}} templates that don't appear to be needed, but they aren't causing a problem either. The last sentence under Project news has two independent clauses so I might have used a semicolon or made it two sentences, and the dmy date near the end should have the comma after the year but not before it. But I'm a nit-picker; looks good otherwise. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:17, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
Reidgreg see User:ZLEA/sandbox/Numismatics newsletter for the reason for the {{col}} templates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZLEA (talk • contribs) 14:21, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
@ZLEA and DannyS712: I figured it was probably something like that, a format set up for future newsletters when you anticipate having more to report. Not a problem; we just have to watch that the <div>s and cols are closed so that style doesn't trail down the rest of the talk page.

Not sure @Stalinsunnykvj: I checked the error log (link) and 224 of the 325 intended recipients failed with an error code of "readonly". (This is different from globally opting out of mass messages.) I'm not certain what the problem is. @DannyS712: this seems to be the same thing that happened with the Signpost delivery in March 2019 (above). Any ideas?

Sorry this is a little late. Images are cc licensed and message is formatted. I adjusted the opt-out for the multiple mailing lists, which I temporarily combined at User:Reidgreg/sandbox2.  Doing... Reidgreg (talk) 12:55, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Not sure @RightCowLeftCoast: When I preview the message at Special:MassMessage, the panoramic picture displays at full width, which throws off all of the formatting (hiding the right-aligned images and some text offscreen on my browser). I fixed some of the parameters for Template:Panorama but couldn't get it to work in preview. Does anyone have any ideas about this? – Reidgreg (talk) 13:25, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Reidgreg I sent the message to my test accounts and found no issue (see User talk:ZLEA2#Southern California Wiknic & Bonfire invitation - Test). - ZLEA T\C 16:36, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Yes Sent. ZLEA, I sent it and checked five random talk pages. Four of them show the panoramic pic at full width instead of in a horizontally scrolling window. Compare User_talk:AB_Blake#Southern_California_Wiknic_&_Bonfire_invitation with User_talk:Laurel_Wreath_of_Victors#Southern_California_Wiknic_&_Bonfire_invitation. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:34, 1 August 2019 (UTC) A previous mass mailing from Art+Feminism 2019 Los Angeles Events! was missing a |} to close a style box. I added that on AB Blake's talk page but it didn't fix the panorama box, which is causing the whole talk page to render wide. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:37, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
(edit conflict × 2) I was thinking that pages with special CSS do not render images the same way normal pages do, but that makes more sense. - ZLEA T\C 18:46, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Reidgreg If it's not an error in a previous MMS, then it may be due to special CSS. Do the other pages with the problem have special CSS? - ZLEA T\C 18:51, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
I think you're right. Three of the four were fine after I added the |} to the previous mass mail, but AB Blake's is different. The talk page sections are all inside a big box, however that's achieved, it's a box-within-a-box problem. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:06, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

 On hold @Path slopu: please clean up User:Path slopu/News/Mole/Delivery - I removed inactive users up to 'Iamthealchemist', but there are many left and you need to check them - we shouldn't be messaging users that haven't edited in a while. I'll likely be unable to send the message when you're done, so please leave a note here for someone else. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 17:45, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Comment: What's wrong with the mailing list? Or are you trying to create a mailing list from the "guest book", checking contribs and removing those who are inactive? – Reidgreg (talk) 21:54, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
@Reidgreg: the page you listed above, Wikipedia:WikiProject Science/Guest book#Members is not in the mass mailing list format (c.f. Wikipedia:Mass_message_senders#Before_making_your_request). Do you have a list on another page? — xaosflux Talk 22:04, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Ah, I see. Pinging @Path slopu: who made the request. It looks like DannyS712 already started to set up a proper list, but I'm not sure about his criteria regarding 'inactive users'. – Reidgreg (talk) 22:14, 23 October 2019 (UTC). From the last several removed, they seem to have had no edits for the past 3+ years. I'll narrow that to 1 year and go through the rest of the list now, or as much as I can. – Reidgreg (talk) 22:25, 23 October 2019 (UTC). Okay, finished, about halved the list with a lot of inactives, some indefinite blocks, and some who changed their usernames. Sending. – Reidgreg (talk) 22:52, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
  •  Done @Path slopu: No errors reported, checked five random talk pages and it looks good. Users Guy Macon and Dchmelik have opted out of global mass messages, but you may as well leave them on the list in case that's temporary and they later opt back in. A little late for 6:02 UTC, but them's the breaks. Give us more lead time, and you'll get better results. Reidgreg (talk) 23:08, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
@DannyS712, Reidgreg, and Xaosflux:Thank you for your assistance and for sending the newsletter. I think the mailing list should be moved to Wikispace (Wikiproject Science's) from my userspace because it is not my personal newsletter and it is send for Wikiproject Science. And if it is moved it will be help to send future mailings as a part of Wikiproject rather than a individual's. Please consider. Thank you!--PATH SLOPU 02:47, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

I've moved it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Science/Newsletter/Members. Thank you.PATH SLOPU 03:03, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
@Path slopu: You're welcome. And yes, the mailing list should logically be grouped with the relevant WikiProject. However, please keep a redirect at User:Path slopu/News/Mole/Delivery for at least a couple months (or until the next mailing to that list), as that's the subscribe/unsubscribe link sent with this mass mailing. Use this: #REDIRECT[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Science/Newsletter/Members]]{{Rcat shell|{{R from move}}{{R to project namespace}}}}. – Reidgreg (talk) 04:24, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

  •  Done @Path slopu: sent. One error reported: User talk:Andys'edits does not exist (no such user account). Otherwise it went through okay. Checked five random pages and looks good. The contrast is nice at User talk:Lilithmoon1, which is an example of where that missing /div would have caused problems (actually, it's an example of where an extra /div would have caused problems). Please be aware that the unsubscribe links do not point to the mailing list that you used, so you will be responsible for watching changes to those lists and adjusting your mailing list accordingly. Please also note that a participants list is not the same as a mailing list; people should be able to associate with a WikiProject and still opt out of its mailings.
