Stuff.

Todo

 * Add an .alias.php file.
 * Create i18n messages for "messenger" group
 * Actually implement GMD
 * Need way to extract links - use interwiki links? - 74941

Features missing from GMD

Nice things

 * Ability for user to provide a page that is translated, and automatically send the message in the wiki's default language.

 * No #no

MZ notes

 * Bugs
 * catch invalid page list input
 * e.g., "Main Page >"
 * localized messages need work
 * post-form submission shouldn't say message was sent; should say message is queued
 * page-list is a hyphen abomination
 * form is ugly
 * put labels on their own line above inputs
 * form needs introductory message


 * Enhancements
 * title suggestions for page input list (similar to search field, yay autocomplete)
 * auto-fill form based on URL parameters?
