Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.

Help with Special:EmailUser

[edit]

Hello, I intend to use Special:EmailUser to send meeting join links to participants in the Wikimedia Café session that will start approximately 36 hours from now. Apparently, when sending messages through this tool to people who signed up to participate in the session, I reached a threshold that triggered my account being temporarily locked out from the tool. Is there a way to exempt my account from this threshold temporarily? Thanks. ↠Pine () 02:46, 6 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

About how many do you need to send? — xaosflux Talk 02:53, 6 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Pine: Is it just THESE? — xaosflux Talk 02:55, 6 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
  • @Xaosflux: yes, those. A temporary ceiling of 100 emails sent through Special:EmailUser from my account per 24 hours, expiring for my account at the start of 9 March 2026, probably would be more than sufficient. Having the buffer for last-minute signups and post-meeting needs would be appreciated. Thanks. ↠Pine () 06:07, 6 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
There is a script at en:User:DreamRimmer/MassEmail to send mass email if there are many users to email. – DreamRimmer 04:04, 6 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hello @Pine. Have you tried out creating the event using the Event Registration. I hope this can be easy for this kind of events and can share the email to the registered participants easily.- ❙❚❚❙❙ GnOeee ❚❙❚❙❙ 07:43, 6 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
  • @Gnoeee: thanks for the suggestion. I have considered that. I anticipated a smaller signup list than this event is getting, and that was a factor in deciding not to invest my time learning & testing this tool for the meetup. However, for future Café sessions, I plan to revisit this option. Thanks again. ↠Pine () 01:45, 7 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Only a couple of edits here so far, but both look like weird "tests". - Jmabel (talk) 02:18, 7 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
