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. :)
