Bug #: 35142
Summary: Users cannot discover reason "E-mail this user" link
is missing
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Email
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently, if a user does have a correctly authenticated e-mail address set in
their preferences, the "E-mail this user" link will not appear in the toolbox
when visiting user or user talk pages. If they manually visit
Special:Emailuser/Username, this message is shown:
No send address
You must be logged in and have a valid authenticated e-mail address in your
preferences to send e-mail to other users.
Most users who have not set an e-mail in their preferences are new users. This
is very difficult for new users to discover. Instead, I think the "E-mail this
user" toolbox link should be shown regardless of whether they have a valid
authenticated e-mail address, allowing them to reach the error page above, so
that they know how to fix the problem.
