Add variable for UserMailer.php email 'from' name
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Author: webmaster

Description:
As outlined [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:UserMailer.php here], line 482 in UserMailer.php is the following:

$adminAddress = new MailAddress( $wgPasswordSender, 'WikiAdmin' );

This causes all default installations to have "WikiAdmin" as the from name for watchlist changes. Changing it is possible, but is wiped out with upgrades.

Could this be turned into a simple $wg variable? Or take it from $wgSiteName unless otherwise specified?
