Writing to village pumps is sometimes useless, not everybody looks at
them so you still rely on someone to forward the message to its actual
consumers.
If there's a specific affected page, as in this case, you're lucky
because you can write on its talk. On big wikis people necessarily use
watchlist to keep track of discussions they're interested to, and on
small wikis RecentChanges will suffice to alert most active users.
So, as already suggested on
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_message_delivery/Instructions ,
1) Write on mediawiki.org an announcement clarifying what needs doing,
2) make it a translatable page,
3) take the distribution list and point all projects to
MediaWiki_talk:Welcomecreation,
4) send a simple two-lines alert pointing to the mw.o page and inviting
users to translate and reply there.
