Why do email notifications from Wikipedia have the sender as "MediaWiki Mail"? Most Wikipedia users probably don't know what "MediaWiki" is. I suggest it be changed to "Wikipedia" or "Wikipedia notifications" or something like that.
Please see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/32770 where Sam Reed says "If we decide what we want [$wgPasswordSenderName] to be, we can configure it."
If you want us to set it, post what you think the "From" addresses should be to the bug. Or file a new bug for setting it.
How about just setting it to the sitename? 'Wikipedia', 'Wikinews', etc. As, uh, suggested already above. :)
