If the operations reasons for not mass-enabling email notifications can't be overcome (or even if they can be), something finer grained could still make a big difference. That is, when you leave a message on someone's talk page, there should be the option to send them an email notification automatically at the same time, through the equivalent of Special:Emailuser. This is what Kaldari's WikiLove gadget does when you leave barnstars and such, and it's great... especially for newcomers. I hacked together a version of the script that has a "Just a message" option so you can leave a plain message but still send an automatic email at the same time, which is quite handy for the ambassador program where we work with students who don't log in regularly. -Sage _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
