Forum:Wiki Email Question

Hello. I was wondering if there is any possible link code, when linking to a special/emailuser (example: here) to auto fill out the subject line? It is something you can do with html and other languages, I just wonder if wikimarkup will allow for it.  Hooper    talk    contribs    email   12:54, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope. -- 13:17, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * It is possible by editing the MediaWiki:Defemailsubject message. You have to be an admin for that. Though this sets the default for every e-mail. The only way for a one-time MW message is to edit the message, e-mail, and change back the MW message. Mark  ( talk ) 13:44, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

 * Might be possible with JS, but I think that would mean you'd have to load JS for every page, in the unlikely event that someone wants to send an email (as global javascript is the only javascript that can reach every other user, personal JS won't work) -- Random Time  10:52, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, well it seems the cost outweighs the benefits. Was just trying to make it easier for users applying for courses on our wiki academy. Thanks for the input.    Hooper    talk    contribs    email   13:06, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you use templates or  in MediaWiki:Defemailsubject? --  Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 7:58 AM PST 4 Jul 2010
 * I'm not sure if you can use parser functions to dynamically alter a MediaWiki page, worth an experiment to see -- Random Time  15:00, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Investigating the MediaWiki code. Ω penBSDWiki 00:25, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah! I found it. Try, or add ?wpSubject=blabla at the end of an Emailuser url. Ω penBSDWiki 00:33, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh wow! Thanks!!  <span style="background-color:White; color:Black; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px">  Hooper  <span style="background-color:Black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px">  talk    contribs  <span style="background-color:black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px">  email   03:16, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do I need to do the full url link like you did instead of the wiki code link? Because using the normal linking method it gives an error.  <span style="background-color:White; color:Black; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px">  Hooper  <span style="background-color:Black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px">  talk    contribs  <span style="background-color:black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px">  email   03:26, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, you'll have to use the full url. -- 03:28, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * But putting the link is a span</tt> tag use the "plainlinks" class will get tide of the link symbol --Roguebfl(talk) 03:10, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uh, linking to the same domain doesn't generate that image anyway: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:EmailUser/OpenBSDWiki?wpSubject=Hi! -- 03:15, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm more use to MediaWiki 1.11.1, which does, even for the same domain --Roguebfl(talk) 03:21, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
