User receives translation notifications twice
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

This user seems to receive every translation notice twice:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Akhilan&action=history
(note that for the last notification about Admin activity review the message was sent twice, cf. bug 42715 comment 33, so the user got it 4 times).

Twice to the same wiki?

The only reason why this would logically happen I can think of, is by configuring a message to be delivered to "Talk page" as well as to "Talk page on other wiki","meta.wikimedia.org", as in the attached screenshot.

If this indeed is the case, I think "this wiki" should be removed from the drop down list, but that should probably be a hard coded string in the extension configuration.

In any case, we will look into it. I hope this is it.

The issue of "duplicate deliveries" looks like an administrator issuing the command to notify twice, at least from the logs at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=notifytranslators&uselang=en

These two messages are about the same page, but they are slightly different:

The difference is in the link to the translatable page. This supports my theory in comment 1.

  • [[Admin activity review/2013/Notice to inactive right holders]]
  • [[:meta:Admin activity review/2013/Notice to inactive right holders|Admin activity review/2013/Notice to inactive right holders]]

Closing this issue as invalid, as the user should fix this by themselves. Given the history of https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Akhilan&action=history this may already have been the case.
