Mass message sender

User:The Transhumanist

I'm the curator of the Portal WikiProject, which entails sending updates, announcements, requests, etc.    — The Transhumanist   21:57, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Transhumanist: can you point to an example of any mailing list you have ready to go and a message body? — xaosflux Talk 16:06, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold per multiple failed attempts to send out mass messaging via AWB today. Should you want to send out a MMS in the future please draft it and request at WT:MMS where it can be reviewed. If you find you are regularly submitting WT:MMS requests that get sent without issue feel free to stop back by here. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 23:41, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Xaosflux: I've done tens of thousands of edits with AWB, and I just flubbed a newsletter posting to 30 users with a couple typos. It happens. Talk about bad timing. :)    — The Transhumanist   00:36, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@The Transhumanist: certainly errors can happen - can you answer my questions from above to possibly reconsider? — xaosflux Talk 00:36, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As you know, I already sent it. :) But I'll be preparing another one to send fairly soon. I'll be in touch.    — The Transhumanist   01:52, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm assuming you loaded a list of names in to your AWB program, that is not the same as building a proper mailing list on-wiki. Do you have an example of the list you would use? — xaosflux Talk 17:08, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am a member of WP:IND and we conduct a quiz competition (WP:PINQ) as part of Portal:India.This right can help me to send messages to project members about Quiz's current situation and send messages to other users to participate in quiz competition. I read the WP:MMS. Kindly please give this right. PATH SLOPU (Talk) 09:46, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done you may request mailings at WT:MMS, if you find that you are regularly requesting mailings that are processed without issue then come back here in the future. — xaosflux Talk 16:07, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Chris troutman

Per this discussion, I'm taking over as publication manager for The Signpost. The job requires mass message sender in order to publish. I will only be using mass message sender for Signpost publication. I don't have prior experience with this as I've never had the need, but I'll have other Signpost editors to oversee my work.
