Description Joseph Seddon 2012-08-07 18:05:28 UTC
As a translation administrator, I want to be able to sign talk page notifications and email notifications with my own username rather than a generic group such as "Meta Translation Administrators"
Comment 1 Nemo 2012-08-20 11:46:12 UTC
As a translator (or user), I want to be able to understand where the hell the notification is coming from and where I can ask questions about the notifications or the translation. 
Otherwise, I'll be completely confused and I'll either do nothing or ask questions in the wrong place and wait for an answer for months.
----
Requirement: the translation administrators could just add relevant links in the free text message area, but looks like they're unable to, so the system should help/force them by requiring a contact page to be specified and link it (e.g. from the signature).

This gets worse because of bug 39073 comment 4.

just for information: on dewiki the bot was blocked today[1] for failing to sign his messages or providing other contact information, e.g. how to opt out again (among other things).

Definitely doesn't fit the definition of "major". As for the specific incident, I'm following on its talk page.
