Introduction
The user rights email notification extension provides a clean and customisable means to send email messages to one or more registered users upon a change to their group memberships. The behaviour of the extension can be controlled using configuration options within the "LocalSettings.php" file for MediaWiki.

Editing the notification email
When preparing the email message to be sent to each recipient, the extension relies upon two system messages. You will need to create these if you wish to customise them, as detailed below:

This file contains the subject line for the email.
 * MediaWiki:Userrightsnotifysubject

$1 is replaced with the wiki site name from $wgSitename.

This file contains the body text for the email.
 * MediaWiki:Userrightsnotifybody

$1 is replaced with the username of the recipient;

$2 is replaced with the wiki site name from $wgSitename;

$3 is replaced with the username of the user who made the change;

$4 is replaced with the time and date of the change;

$5 is replaced with a comma-delimited list of groups added;

$6 is replaced with a comma-delimited list of groups removed.

Further configuration
To change the sender email address used (the default is the same as $wgPasswordSender), set the $wgUserRightsNotif['sender'] variable in LocalSettings.php.
