Mailing lists

[edit]

As a mass message sender (MMS) be prepared to receive requests for mass mailings. Guidance can be found at this page, with additional technical notes at m:MassMessage and mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage.

Advise requesters of Wikipedia:talk page guidelines, particularly with technical and formatting standards.

  1. Enter the message at Special:MassMessage.
    • The first field is the delivery list, the name of a page or category pointing to the user or user talk pages. (By default, user page links are converted to user talk page equivalents.) The GOCE mailing list is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Mailing List
    • The subject of the message, used in edit summaries, is limited to 240 bytes.
    • The body of the message accepts valid wikitext. If using a prepared page, substitute it in braces like ((subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters/November 2018)).
    • Add four tildes ~~~~ at the end of the message. This will sign the delivered messages from User:MediaWiki message delivery with a time stamp. (Without a time stamp, bots may not archive the message from user talk pages.)
      • Alternatively, if the message does not have an opt-out, consider signing with <small>Sent by ~~~ on behalf of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject]] at ~~~~~. If you do not wish to recieve future notification, please remove your name from the [[|mailing list]].</small>
  2. Double- and triple-check the fields for errors
    • Make sure that every <div>, <span>, <font> and <center> has a matching </div>, </span>, </font> and </center>. Having too many or too few can upset the formatting on the rest of the talk page.
    • Verify that all images in the message are public domain or under a creative commons license.
    • Make sure that any user links use ((noping|example)). Otherwise, the user could be flooded with a notification for every message delivered.
  3. Preview
  4. Modify if it needs to be changed and repeat the steps above, or otherwise
  5. Send, which adds it to the delivery queue.

The delivery queue can be monitored at Special:Statistics, to see when all messages are delivered. The error log is at Special:Log/massmessage.

Watchlist Wikipedia talk:Mass message senders and consider responding to requests.

Main Page archives

[edit]

The Main Page is archived by User:ProcBot. If it should falter, notify the bot operator both on their talk page and via email.

To reconstruct the Main Page for missing archive slots, use the most recent version as a guide and drop in the individually archived segments (if extant). When they have their own page, or their own section of a page, these can be substituted, e.g.: ((subst:Wikipedia:Recent additions/2022/March#30 March 2022))

Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red

[edit]
Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!
Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's representation on all language Wikipedias (biographies, women's works, women's issues, broadly construed). Did you know that, according to Humaniki, only 19.87% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed? Content gender gap is a form of systemic bias, and this is what WiR addresses. We invite you to participate, whenever you like, in whatever way suits you and your schedule. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome at Women in Red!
