@Rmaung: Do the (non-public) page "Making announcements" on WMF's officewiki and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:MassMessage help?

I have reviewed those pages, but I'm still a bit unclear on the process and code. I met with Sherry earlier today and she recommended that I open a ticket here so that someone from Community Relations could walk through it with me. I'll be using it to distribute the CI survey to many different user lists and it's important that I get it right.

We'll let you know something ASAP. Thanks for filing this. It would be really important for us to understand where the documentation fails. (Well, the Mediawiki page is almost unintelligible if you ask me, but I would have hoped that the Office wiki one worked - maybe it's wishful thinking and that too is useless for newcomers. In any case, it's absolutely understandable that one wouldn't perform such a delicate action for the first time without supervision/guidance).

@Rmaung before we meet, please start the procedure for getting the relevant user rights, TY!

Also, I'd need to know what you mean that you'll distribute the survey this way. Have you drafted a message somewhere already? Will it need to be translated? Thanks.

Thank you @Elitre ! While some community members will receive a link to the survey via email (movement leaders and affiliate representatives), contributors will get a link to the survey via massmessage. These are currently being translated. I have MassMessage rights and an open request to ca@wikimedia.org for TranslationAdmin rights. Are there other rights I'll need to request?

So the translations aren't on Meta, right? And you are referring to translations of the survey itself, or are you also getting the invitation translated, which is what we'd need for the MassMessage?
I think those are the 2 rights you need.

@Whatamidoing-WMF @Rmaung I thought https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Insights/Translation/2019/1-Invitation was the only message out there, then I stumbled on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Insights/Translation/2019/General_information and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Insights/Translation/2019/1-Invitation_to_program_coordinators. I understand that the former is the actual one that Rebecca will need to deliver on wikis (the others being for email only?), but I appreciate confirmation.

Also, Rebecca, we had talked about headers not being translatable. Do you mind if I edit the message so that, while the header will still be in English, it will feature a sort of translated "subtitle"? (I actually won't be doing much else than removing the word "subject:" from the message, which in any case seems to be not useful anymore).
