Bug ID: 60119
Summary: "MediaWiki message delivery left you a message on
Wikipedia" and similar e-mail subject lines need
further thought
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.23-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Email
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

I received an e-mail in my inbox with the subject line "MediaWiki message
delivery left you a message on Wikipedia".
I know what this means (sort of), but this is pretty cryptic and unfriendly, I
think. I suppose it could be worse (e.g., "MediaWiki message delivery left you
a message on Wikimedia"), but still... perhaps we need to rethink how we
structure subject lines like this. I imagine bots and other automated processes
have a similar issue.
Copying a few people who might be interested in this ticket, not necessarily
anyone related to e-mail subject lines in particular. I'm assuming HTML e-mails
like these are from MediaWiki core, but I suppose it's possible they're not...
hmmm.
