MassMessage sends notifications to message sender when that message is signed and posted on a Flow board
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

@Lea_Lacroix_WMDE reports that she sent the Wikidata newsletter using MassMessage and then was mentioned by MassMessage on the 17 Flow boards where that newsletter has been posted. Léa signs that newsletter with her username and doesn't get a notification when she posts on a classical talk page.

On my way to distribute the survey about Flow, I'm receiving notifications and emails. Fortunately, I'm only targeting 1300 pages .

Idea: perhaps the delivery bot is on the user blacklist for mentions, and Flow mentions don't respect this blacklist while wikitext mentions do? If that's true, this would be a general bug not related to MassMessage.

Tested in betalabs: when a message via Special:MassMessage is posted on a Flow board, a new topic is created. If a sender has this Flow board on his watchlist - the user will get notification.
