Ningauble <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #8 from Ningauble <[email protected]> --- I thought Echo was all about providing system-triggered notifications that are more "user friendly", especially for newcomers, than mucking with watchlists and revision histories. (A canonical example of system-generated notification being the old-style "you have new mail" message.) I am straining to see how this fits with EdwardsBot function, which is the delivery of bulk mailings. One possibility would be to post a message in one place, and use Echo to notify a delivery list to check it out. This could mitigate some of the problems with posting multiple copies for all the recipients. However, it would not work for folks who disable Echo notifications, and it would not leave a trail on their talk page for future reference. Note also that mass-mailing is not only useful for user talk; it can also be used, e.g., to post a notice at the Village Pump (or equivalent forum/noticeboard) on multiple wikis. (Use case: advance notice of "breaking changes" in an upcoming mediawiki release.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
