Using MMS for FAR notifications
[edit]- Note: Hurricane editors opting out of messages: Coredesat, Hello32020
- Note: Hurricane CCI is at Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/WikiProject_Tropical_cyclones
It all looks very complicated, but once you do it a few times, you'll find it MUCH easier than it looks, and a real time-saver compared to doing manual notifications.
Steps
[edit]- General
- If you have Wikipedia:Mass message senders permissions, set up your MMS target page for FARs, eg User:SandyGeorgia/MMStargets.
- Bookmark the page you will need for actually sending the message.
- Consider saving a sample nomination statement, with sample content you will end up pasting in to the new FAR, eg #Sample. I add the notification list there so I just have to update the URLs to the notifications and paste the whole thing in after I've written the nom statement.
- Before starting the FAR nom
- Remember to edit the URFA page (WP:URFA/2020A or WP:URFA/2020B) to switch the Noticed entry to FAR followed by the date (sample)
- Remember to remove the Notice from WP:FARGIVEN [1] (while you're there, you can edit-copy the notification diff to edit-paste it into the URL for your new nomination as in #Sample
- Setting up the MMS targets
- Go to the FAC for the FA you are nominating to find the name of the original nominator; add that to the targets (sample)
- Go to the article stats on the FA, browse to find most active (and most recently active) editors, and add them to the targets page (sample)
- Remember to check the article talk page for any very active editors
- On the article talk page, grab the list of WikiProjects, copy them over to the targets page, and edit them to remove the trailing content, and add [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject ... in front of each entry (sample)
- If you're new to this, click on each of your target samples to make sure you're sending them to the right place
- Setting up the FAR nom
- Copy-paste the noticed diff to your #Sample, eg [2]
- Copy-paste the last version of your MMS targets to your Sample, eg [3]
- Write your nom blurb at your sample, eg [4]
- Initiate the FAR with {{subst:FAR}} on the talk page of the article
- Copy your sample text with notifications in (making sure to leave the header info, and only replace from where the smalled notifications begin)
- Add your nom to the top of WP:FAR
- Send Notifications
Now the FAR nom is done, on the FAR page, and you're ready to send the MMS notifications
- Go to the MassMessage send page and fill in
- "Page or category containing list of pages to leave a message on" is your MMS target page (eg User:SandyGeorgia/MMStargets)
- "Subject of the message" is: Name of article followed by Featured article review (this will appear as the edit summary, for example, FC Barcelona Featured article review yields this when sent)
- "Page to be sent as the message" (leave blank-- no idea what this is, haven't used it)
- "Body of the message": {{subst:FARMessage|articlename}} ~~~~
- Don't forget to sign, and the FARMessage subst may need to be adjusted if it is a second FAR nomination)
- Preview
- Send ... done!
Sample
[edit]- Notified: Mass Message Send notifications, talk page notice noticed 2023-11-01
The FAC nominator for this 2007 promotion has been gone since 2008, and the article has not been maintained to FA standards. Concern listed on 2023-11-01 include uncited text; inconsistent citation style; Wikipedia articles listed as sources; further reading and external links need pruning or to be worked in to the article; and incomplete citations. Much of the content is cited to dated sources and the article may be outdated.

I am reviewing this (old or very old) FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria.

Featured articles that may no longer meet the featured article criteria are reviewed and improved on a different page: Featured article review (FAR). FAs are held to the current standards regardless of when they were promoted.
