Wikipedia: Mailing lists

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Wikipedia has a number of mailing lists which are open to anyone who subscribes. Full details of all lists are at meta:Mailing list.

Posts from non-subscribers may be delayed or accidentally discarded as they need to be approved by a list administrator to prevent spam.

Please use Wikiquette and avoid personal attacks on the mailing lists, especially in the subject header as this is likely to be repeated by those replying. Fire manages the mailing lists and can be contacted for queries or for starting a new list.

Mailing lists are available in a number of formats: via a web archive, by email, or by NNTP using the mail-to-news gateway Gmane. Mailing list posts are indexed by search engines such as Google. Offsite archives of Wikipedia's mailing lists can be found at Gmane MARC.

English-only mailing list

Since Wikipedia-L developed into an extremely high traffic list, a separate mailing list for the English Wikipedia was created. For discussion of issues concerning the English wikipedia only, please sign up for WikiEN-L and keep Wikipedia-L for general policy discussions!
