Bug ID: 64379
Summary: MassMessage subscription management
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MassMessage

MassMessage's notion of "targets" is not very user-friendly:
- Subscribers have to manually add their name in a special syntax on multiple
wiki pages. This makes the whole thing very hard to discover, and makes it
difficult to manage your subscriptions.
- Senders have to remember target-lists rather than being able to re-use common
targets easily.
I think we can leave the current system in place and complement it with a more
user-friendly one:
* a list of newsletters, newsletter descriptions and target pages in the
MediaWiki: namespace
* a tab in preferences that renders these out and makes it easy for users to
subscribe with their user talk: page (bonus points for indicating number of
subscribers)
Ideally the tab should expose both local and global newsletters under a
"Subscriptions" tab in preferences
This seems like it could be a useful way to complement Echo notifications with
an easy-to-use opt-in subscription system for more comprehensive newsletters.
Newsletters posted on village pumps and such could then simply link to the
relevant tab in preferences for easy opt-in.
