Old instructions and tips
New pages patrol/Reviewers/Newsletter list Newsletters can be drafted by anyone but please check  with  coordinators before sending. The list will be updated from time to time as new permissions are granted. There are currently Special:ListUsers/patroller New page reviewers. Check the master list before sending. Only Mass message senders can use the bot. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:15, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Note that sending frequent newsletters often dilutes their impact - like all other frequent spam, they tend to get binned before they are even read, whoever they are from. Once a month is more than enough. Once every two or three months would be better. If there are any urgent announcements to make, please inform The Signpost newsroom - it has a far bigger distribution (well over 10,000 subscribers) than the NPR mailing list.
