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.
- Mass message senders/Shell-0109
- Mass message senders/Shell-0110
- Mass message senders/Shell-0111

General Discussions
Split requests into new page
Hello, after reading and thinking about the comments by Reidgreg and isaacl. I think that there is an argument to be made for splitting requests onto a new page either a subpage or a completley new page (examples Wikipedia:Mass message senders/Requests or Wikipedia:Mass Message Requests). I created Wikipedia:Mass message senders/Requests as an example of what the page could be. I took the core components of Wikipedia:Mass message senders, rewrote them specifically with the idea that the reader would be someone requesting MMS, and then adding the MMS request section at the bottom. It is currently just a first attempt and I realise that I completley missed the Guidance for use section which should proably be included. The way I see it is: You don't see a section on "Becoming an administrator" when you try to edit the main page, why should you see "Requesting rights" and "General discussion" of MMS when trying to request a new message to be sent? It can just overload and act as a barrier for a user with no good reason that I can see as to why this is the case. With this change it can also mean that the page Wikipedia:Mass message senders can be rewritten with a focus on the user right with help for using the tool and what it is rather than a focus on making requests.
Overall just looking for thoughts on this and the new page I created and the idea in general, not looking to reshuffle everything at this very moment. Terasail[✉️] 01:50, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry for just seeing this comment now; another side effect of having discussion and requests on the same page is that it's easy for me to overlook discussion. I agree that it makes sense to have a separate page for those who want to make mass message requests, on which the requests can be made and then archived by a bot, separate from discussion about mass messaging in general. Those discussions can continue to be held on this talk page. isaacl (talk) 23:11, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Query re Doug Coldwell GAs
See Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Douglas Coldwell GA list re this AN discussion and this implementation plan.
- Can mass message sender be used to send a message (still under development in sandbox) to these 233 GA talk pages?
- Do I need to convert the list to Talk:Article name, or can the sender do that convert to get from an article name list to an article talk list ?
SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:10, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- @SandyGeorgia yes, I converted for you already to Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Douglas Coldwell GA list/MMStargets. — xaosflux Talk 19:19, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oh, my aren't you wonderful :) But I already knew that! Thanks! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:33, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- I had to move that to Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Doug Coldwell GA list/MMStargets as I had used the wrong main account. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:57, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Doug Coldwell GA reviewers
No hurry (I won't need this for a few more days or maybe even a week)!
Followup, for sending a different message to user talk pages, I will need a list of reviewers. From the bottom half only of this page, that is:
can an MMS list of the reviewers be put at:
Thank you :) I will learn to do this myself, but this project is too important/visible for me to mess up on. Several wise editors have advised against using the editor name in the pages, for the same reasoning as used at CCI. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:04, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- @SandyGeorgia
Done — xaosflux Talk 01:29, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks again (I hope you rest occasionally ;) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:35, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
Letting folks with MMS perm also create MMS lists
They currently can't do this because they don't have the editcontentmodel permission / access to Special:ChangeContentModel. Is there any interest in getting this added to the MMS toolkit? Seems pretty uncontroversial but wanted to double check first. If we get enough support here, next step would probably be village pump, then Phabricator. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:51, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support as I find it very annoying having to move a shell each time I want to create a mailing list for NPP and the such. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 19:54, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support I believe it can make our work easier. Best, —Nnadigoodluck███ 20:22, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:51, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support Honestly, I thought that was already included in that right. Deauthorized. (talk) 22:08, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- If I understand correctly, users with the editcontentmodel permission can change the content model of a page to Javascript. Because this is a security concern, I think the bar would be raised for gaining mass messaging privileges if it included editcontentmodel. Thus I don't feel it should be added. isaacl (talk) 22:11, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Why is being able to change the content model of a page to JavaScript a security concern? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 22:27, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Javascript code runs in the user's browser and thus in the context of the user in its interactions with Wikipedia (that is, it can do anything the user can do). It can also be used to create UI elements that might confuse the user into entering privileged information. Thus managing which Javascript files are accessible to users is important for security. Being able to change the content model means that pages that aren't normally expected to be Javascript files (such as ones not ending in .js) could have their content model changed so they can execute as Javascript. A clever malicious user could find a way to exploit this. isaacl (talk) 22:39, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, but it does have to be added to a user's skin/common.js or skin/common.css Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 06:03, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- I appreciate Terasail posting the links to the previous discussions (one of which I participated in), and in those conversations, others have expressed a similar viewpoint to yours about the degree of risk. It does require someone being fooled into loading the Javascript (thus the need for cleverness), whether it's through a malicious URL, being given incorrect instructions, taking advantage of common typos, or something else. Of course this can already be done today with Javascript code on pages ending in .js. Nonetheless I am still wary of expanding the attack surface in an unexpected manner that might elude any current precautions taken by users. I agree with the views expressed in those earlier discussions that it would be better to implement a solution that just allowed mass message senders to create mailing lists. isaacl (talk) 06:31, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Massmessage is still a pretty high trust permission, and it's not given out to every person who wants it. If a user wanted to cause damage, they could get their common.js into another user's common.js. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 06:34, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Mass message senders don't need the ability to set other content types, so in my view the current workaround is sufficient, versus moving to a different workaround. Although I think there is more caution now in granting the mass messaging privilege, back around its start I remember it being given to someone who just said they'd like to help out with sending mass messages. Delivering mass messages inappropriately can be disruptive to users, but isn't a security risk, and so I don't think mass message senders are screened with potential security issues in mind. isaacl (talk) 07:06, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Being able to change a page to javascript doesn't do anything to a user's client unless they add it to skin or common js, all users can put malicious code in their own js files and trick users into adding them into their common and skin js. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 10:52, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose This was previously discussed a few years ago, that it should be added as part of the right and this was rejected. As TEs and Admins both have more substantial guidelines for granting and criteria for revocation it seems best to keep a right which can change any wikitext page into css (or whatever) more limited especially considering there is a maintained list of available MMS lists on this page already. It should probably be more widley discussed on VPR to see if there are any further arguments to be made. Terasail[✉️] 23:28, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- I also found Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 134#restrict editcontentmodel permission which mentions phab:T145344 which is highly concerning. I have not yet read through the task or discussions properly so I could quite easily change my position on this. Terasail[✉️] 23:41, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per Terasail; the security issues presented above are overblown IMO, but this violates the single-responsibility principle and the principle of least privilege and will doom us to an eventual repeat of Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 86#Restoring to Account Creators the Ability to Edit Editnotices * Pppery * it has begun... 14:18, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
Let massmessage perm use Special:CreateMassMessageList
phab:T92795, which would involve letting anyone with the massmessage right use Special:CreateMassMessageList, looks like a simple and good solution. It solves the problem without needing to assign anyone change content model permissions. Thoughts on that approach? –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:32, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support as this alleviates the above concerns while still allowing massmessage senders to create lists. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 13:22, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Weak oppose The current system is working just fine; this makes the permission model more complicated for little apparent benefit. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:18, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Support though the concerns raised above are mostly invalid as any user can convince someone to add malicious javascript to their common.js or skin.js. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 15:36, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

On hold @MurielMary, the content of the mailing won't work, can you fix it? Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 11:08, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm not sure how to format the content. It's not a newsletter - we'd like to post a statement drawing editors' attention to a project that's described on our meta page here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Aotearoa_New_Zealand#Wikipedian-at-Large_(WPAL)_project Can you pls advise how to format the mail content or point me towards a model/similar mailing to copy? TIA. MurielMary (talk) 11:38, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- @MurielMary, if you write and format the message on a page, then I can add that as the page to send. If you ping me when you've done that, I'll be happy to send it on Monday. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 11:42, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Zippybonzo Thank you! Is this suitably formatted? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_New_Zealand/Announcement/July_2023
- MurielMary (talk) 12:04, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yep, that will be fine, I’ll send it on Monday. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 12:12, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Zippybonzo: Has this been forgotten about? * Pppery * it has begun... 02:06, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

- @MurielMary, I am not entirely sure sending an unsolicited MassMessage to all New Zealand wikipedians is a good idea, though I think sending it to WPNZ is fine, which I have just sent, though I would be happy to send it if consensus found it was acceptable to send an unsolicited message to 500 users. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 06:37, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for that! Yes, good point about the unsolicited mailout. We (the Aotearoa NZ User Group) will ponder that one! MurielMary (talk) 10:35, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
