(default: "{{SITENAME}}").
+* (bug 63269) Email notifications were not correctly handling the
+ [[MediaWiki:Helppage]] message being set to a full URL (the default).
+ If you customized [[MediaWiki:Enotif body]] (the text of email notifications),
+ you'll need to edit it locally to include the URL via the new variable
+ $HELPPAGE instead of the parser functions fullurl and canonicalurl; otherwise
+ you don't have to do anything.
