Bug ID: 68513
Summary: MassMessage: Please include an easy way to add a
timestamp at the end of the message
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified

OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized

I request the addition of an easy method for adding a timestamp to the very end
of a message.
One way to go about this is to add a line to the bottom of the form, that says
something like this:
Page or category containing list of pages to leave a message on:
Subject of the message (also used as the edit summary):
Body of the message:
[X] Include timestamp
[X] Mark language as using [Pop-up menu, default to English]
On at least Meta.wiki and en.wp, I would like this box to be ticked by default.
MassMessages sent from these places tend to reach pages that are autoarchived
by bots. For the bots to "see" the date stamp, it must be the last thing in
the message. People forget to add a date stamp, and this means that these
messages have to be cleaned up manually. (In other cases, they don't know that
adding just a timestamp requires five tildes instead of four, so you get odd
signatures.)
