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.

I've written a brief message at User:WhatamIdoing/MassMessage to all the editors listed at Wikipedia:Feedback request service#Wikipedia policies and guidelines, 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 Wikipedia talk:Mass message senders § MassMessage Delivery Requests, 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)
Yes Sent – DreamRimmer (talk) 08:12, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you, DreamRimmer.
Isaacl, the instructions at Wikipedia:Mass message senders#Requesting a mailing 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)

 Doing... – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:34, 2 February 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. – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:46, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
No problem at all! Taking a look at the RfC, it seems like everyone should be good with it, and I don't expect any issues. – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:58, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
Yes Sent Checked 3 random pages. Appears to have sent correctly. – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:08, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Would someone please deliver the latest S++ issue

Here are the details

Thanks for your assistance! Maybe the signature timestamp should be changed? Aaron Liu (talk) 00:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Doing (t · c) buidhe 02:35, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Sent with current timestamp, if that was a concern. (t · c) buidhe 02:37, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Welp, I meant maybe change my signature to the actual timestamp of sending, not add another signature. Thanks anyways! Aaron Liu (talk) 02:39, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Aaron Liu 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 · c) buidhe) then the person sending the message can add five ~ which prints out just the date without the signature. (t · c) buidhe 03:50, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
