I've written a brief message at User:WhatamIdoing/MassMessage to all the editors listed at Feedback request service, to let them know that they shouldn't expect any notifications for the foreseeable future. Could someone please send this?

Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:23, 28 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hey @WhatamIdoing, just a friendly reminder to use the request format when making mass message request. A little glitch during MMS delivery could lead to unintended spam on pages that aren't relevant. Thanks for your attention to this! – DreamRimmer (talk) 01:35, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @DreamRimmer, where is the request format documented?  WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:28, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Not documented anywhere, but you can see above requests. It would be easy for us to send this way. :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 02:32, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Found it, see here. – DreamRimmer (talk) 02:35, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * At, if you select the "add request" link, then the text box will be preloaded with the standard format. (The format is essentially based on the one I used back in 2014.) isaacl (talk) 07:38, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * – DreamRimmer (talk) 08:12, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, DreamRimmer.
 * Isaacl, the instructions at Mass message senders say only "Requests for mailings may be made on the talk page" (that's a link to this talk page in general, not to the section heading). Perhaps that should be updated? WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:43, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @WhatamIdoing Just scroll down a bit and find the "Add Request" option below the MassMessage Delivery Requests section. Once you click on it, a ready-made format will open in the edit box, making it super easy for you to fill in the details as needed. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:53, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Personally I think requests should be split off onto their own page (see previous discussions in 2018, 2022, and earlier this year). There doesn't appear to be much interest, though, amongst those who hold the mass message delivery privileges. In the meantime, I've changed the wikilink for the text "made" (which points to the specific section in question) so the full link text is "made on the talk page". isaacl (talk) 18:42, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

GAN backlog drive message
Would someone please deliver me the GAN backlog drive message my fellow collaborators are receiving. I have reviewed one successful GA-Queen Camilla- and nominated one-Catherine, Princess of Wales- both after October last year. Yet I have received no messages from MediaWiki message delivery on my talk page. Please take up the matter for consideration so that I receive talk page messages in the future.

Thanks for your assistance! Regards MSincccc (talk) 14:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @MSincccc, the drive coordinators sent out the mass message to a mailing list that was last updated during the August 2023 backlog drive, which explains why you haven't received the March drive notification. If you'd like to receive this March drive message, just let me know, and I'll be happy to send it to you manually. Also, just for your information, this venue is for requesting mass message deliveries, and requests like this should be made at relevant venues, such as the GA talk page, which was the right venue for this request. Thanks! – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

 * @HouseBlaster could you please add a line at the bottom of the message text explaining why they are receiving this message, because we don’t generally spam talk pages of users who have not subscribed to any messaging list. Also, I think blocked users should be removed from the list. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 05:46, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

 * If you want a message sent out under your name, but a current timestamp, please end it with (in my case, this expands to (t &#183; c)  buidhe ) then the person sending the message can add five ~ which prints out just the date without the signature.

Request for mass message delivery: April 7, 2024
Hello - could you please send the below?

First time making a mass message request, so please let me know if anything's not right. I've included a line explaining that this is a one-off message and why they're receiving it.

Mailing list: User:Jonathan Deamer/Leeds meetup list

Subject of mass mailing: Leeds Wikipedia meetup on Saturday 4th May (this is already included in the message)

 * I attempted to send this earlier yesterday. However, my preview page showed the newsletter bracketed by two pieces of cruft, , as well as the Page to be sent as a message: field not accepting anything outside of Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Newsletter/027. Having only recently been granted this right, I thought it better to let more experienced editors handle this. Now I'm curious as to what I had to do to send it out cleanly. Dhtwiki (talk) 00:09, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Issue-nav is marked as a "noinclude", which means that it is not supposed to be included in the mailing message. Instead copy the content of the template page except for what is in the noinclude. Part of the issue may be that the tree of life newsletter is much larger and more complex than other newsletters. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  03:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I thought there was a chance that the noinclude portion wouldn't be sent out with the mailing, even though it was included in my preview. If that wasn't the case, I wasn't going to risk having what would be mystifying cruft landing on 73 user talk pages. And I didn't go to the trouble of setting up a test mailing list, one with only my user talk page address. Dhtwiki (talk) 03:07, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
