Extension:MassMessage

The MassMessage extension allows a user to send a message to a list of pages via special page Special:MassMessage. For help on how to use the extension, see Help:Extension:MassMessage . The API documentation can be found at Extension:MassMessage/API .

• Download and move the extracted MassMessage folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

  cdextensions/
  gitclonehttps://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/MassMessage
  

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'MassMessage' );
  

• Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Namespaces to post in

When posting messages, only post them in the specified namespaces. All talk namespaces are already whitelisted.

$wgNamespacesToPostIn = [ NS_PROJECT ];

Namespaces to convert

If you want users to be able to provide a link to a User: page, but have the bot post on their User talk: page you can define that here.

$wgNamespacesToConvert = [ NS_USER => NS_USER_TALK ];

Username

What username the bot should post with. By default, this is "MediaWiki message delivery". If the user already exists, the extension will take over the account. You can override the default account name by specifying (for example):

$wgMassMessageAccountUsername = 'MessengerBot';

Enable global messaging

Whether to enable sending messages from one wiki to another. If running on a wikifarm setup like Wikimedia, you can disable this on all wikis except one to keep the logs in one place.

$wgAllowGlobalMessaging = true;

You can send messages from the command line with

php sendMessages.php --pagelist <page list file> --subject <subject file> --message <message file>

where each line of <page list file> contains a page name followed by a wiki (database) name, separated by a tab.
