The MassMessageEmail extension allows sending email messages to a list of users. It can also email wiki pages to users by transcluding them within the message. It requires the MassMessage extension. For usage instructions, follow the instructions on that extension's page. If there is a User page in the MassMessage delivery list, instead of posting to the user's talk page, if the wiki can email that user then it will.
This extension was created for WikiWorks.

if ( class_exists( 'LqtDispatch' ) && LqtDispatch::isLqtPage( $title ) ) {

// If the page is using a different discussion system, handle it specially

return true;
