Topic on Extension talk:MassMessage

Are there any special requirements for a mass message delivery list title? I keep running into this "You do not have permission to create a list with this title" error message when using the Create Mass Message Delivery List on the special pages.

I'm using mw 1.25.1 w/ semantic. My LocalSettings.php does not have any references to $wgContentHandlerUseDB so I assume that I have not explicitly set this to false. My MassMessage settings are as follows:

wfLoadExtension( 'MassMessage' );
# When posting messages, only post them in the specified namespaces. 
$wgNamespacesToPostIn = array( NS_VOL, NS_VOL_TALK, NS_PROJECTS, NS_PROJECTS_TALK, NS_HMS_MEMBERS, NS_HMS_MEMBERS_TALK, NS_USER_TALK );
$wgNamespacesToConvert = array( NS_USER => NS_USER_TALK );
$wgMassMessageAccountUsername = 'HMS_Messager';

I am using custom namespaces and do have a PROJECTS namespace as well as a PROJECT namespace. I'm using LockDown, but not on those namespaces.

I am the administrator. I do have permission to send MassMessages. I don't see that there's a permission for creating lists. I have not tried to use a list that I have manually created . . . what's the protocol that people are using for storing lists ... where is a good place to create a MassMessage list?

Do MassMessage lists need to be saved in a particular namespace and require a namespace in the title?

Thanks in advance,

Hi. To be able to create delivery lists, you need to have the "editcontentmodel" user right, which is not granted to any user group (including sysops) by default at the moment. We hope to make it so that sysops are granted the right by default soon, but for now you can work around the issue by adding

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['editcontentmodel'] = true;

to your LocalSettings.php. I've updated the documentation to clarify. Sorry about the confusion.

Thank you.
