The system messages for the email form should include the target/recipient username as a parameter e.g. the first form on English Wikipedia already parses the username from the page title https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Emailpagetext But this isnt possible for the landing page after the email has been sent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Emailsenttext Then the Emailsenttext default message could change from "Your e-mail message has been sent." to something like "Your e-mail message to [[user:$1|$1]] has been sent." fwiw, the messages used for the email do include usernames https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Emailccsubject https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Emailuserfooter
