Mailing lists

There are several e-mail lists that exist for discussion of the MediaWiki software. Note that these lists are not appropriate places for discussing issues with Wikipedia or any other Wikimedia Foundation projects. Those lists can be found on the mailing list page at meta.

These lists are all available as ordinary e-mail discussion lists, which you may subscribe to by using the links in the table below.

Gmane
wikitech-l may additionally be accessed as a newsgroup. In order to use this list like a newsgroup you must specify news.gmane.org as your NNTP-server and subscribe to gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical.

Depending how your browser is configured, you may be able to automatically subscribe to the newsgroup by visiting the following link: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical

In order to post to the newsgroup you must be a list member. The first time you post you will receive an email for verification of your email address, which is normal. If you work by means of the newsgroup you probably no longer wants to receive the messages by email. To disable email delivery you need to login and edit your preferences.

You can also use the Gmane web interface for reading AND posting to the list. To post, select "post" (or "followup" to reply to the current post) from the drop-down menu in the top right.
