I am running contests like Wikipedia:The World Destubathon. It is a big attempt to eliminate thousands of stubs for every country and topic and want to invite a lot of project members personally with a message. User:DreamRimmer and User:Polygnotus have been very helpful, but it would greatly help me if I was given formal mass message rights as I will likely be running more contests in the future and need the easiest outlet to contact relevant projects and participants who would potentially be interested without having to spend ages doing it manually! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:51, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

:{{Reply|Dr. Blofeld}} If you mean inviting members of a lot of WikiProjects, as I gather from your talk page, then I think this would go against the guidance that {{tqb|Mass messages should only be sent to groups of users who are likely to want their attention drawn to the message [...] For other cases, less personalized means of communication are preferred. Wikipedia's primary means of communication is through posts on article talk pages, Wikipedia talk pages, or various noticeboards, including the Village Pump. [...] To reach the members of a given WikiProject, a post on that project's talk page can be used.}} – SilverLocust (Jenson) 04:55, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

::I was thinking a few hundred of the most active editors, not 13,000! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:03, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

Hey there! I will once again be a coordinator for the Developing Countries WikiContest this year, for which I was granted temporary rights last time — see my previous request. In addition to a few newsletters for the contest, I also helped out with a few requests at WT:MMS (log). That's an area I wouldn't mind continuing to monitor outside of the contest period, and I may need this permission again if the DCWC continues for a third edition, so I'd like to request the right permanently. Please let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:46, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
