Hi,
I don't know who is in charge of this utility but perhaps some of you know a short way.
Recently Mediawiki message delivery left a message on village pump of Hungarian Wikipedia without undersigning. The message wasn't archived for a long time until the issue was fixed manually.
Tonight another mistake happened: https://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia:Kocsmafal_%28egy%C... The message contains a fixed English format date according to GMT, while we are in GMT+1 and use Hungarian date format. The message won't be archived again, and other bots processing the archives cannot recognize the date.
Please, please, for anyobody working on Wikipedia, be basic to use ~~~~! This is the first lesson taught.

I'm not that familar with the mass message tool - but this seems more like a "rules" thing, then a technical thing.
Perhaps the policy should be updated at meta where users have to end their posts with a standard looking signature block: [[m:User:Foo]] ~~~~~
