Welcome to mediawiki-l (weekly posting)

Welcome to mediawiki-l. This mailing list exists for discussion and questions
about the MediaWiki software[0]. Important MediaWiki-related announcements
(such as new versions) are also posted to this list.

Other resources.

If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to
mediawiki-announce[1] instead.

MediaWiki development discussion, and all Wikimedia technical questions, should
be directed to the wikitech-l[2] mailing list.

Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist:
- mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions,
- mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise,
- mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subverion repository,
- mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support,
- wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker.

List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives).

To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [3]. Archives of previous postings
can be found at [3].

This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to
read and post to the list.

Posting to the list.

Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common
questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if
your question has been asked before.

To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l[at]lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a
public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you
send.

When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of
your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your
message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting
style[11], for clarity.

When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the
subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer
people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post.

Messages posted to the have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list, which
means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are posting a
reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the list in
general, you should change the reply to only go to that person. This avoids
cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic.

Thank you so much for this - let's hope people will actually read it
(especially the part about replying to the proper thread... ).

I think this wanted to be "Messages posted to the list"

I'd reword this. What about
"When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message, and
remember to change the subject. Not doing so would confuse..." ?

It's a good idea, but instead of weekly posting, wouldn't putting it on
the welcome message be more appropiate?

Do you really think it would have a wider audience there?

It's hard enough to make people read and remember a weekly reminder like
this, but a one-time message would probably remain without effect.

A more ... salient subject line would probably help too, by the way.

i don't understand what this means. if you're not replying, there is no
subject to change - you just write a new one.

i don't know if anyone reads the welcome message :) it's probably worth
writing something there, though. (also: Gmane.)

Not wider, as the full list will always be wider as the weekly
subscribers ;) but they are the targets of the message.

I see many people subscribe only to send a question. Having just
received a message about how should they do them _should_ help them
doing it right.
The weekly message won't help one-timers, though it might help stubborns :-)

Good point - so let's just do both then.

Oh, i see now what the original message tried to say (i knew it was
confusing and deserved rewording :) ) should be s/and change/changing then.
It wasn't clear to me if you asked them to change the subject or not
changing it, and was 'replying and changing' :P

Isn't subscribing needed for this list? Gmane users can read, but will
need to subscribe (thus get the welcome msg) for writing.

Welcome to mediawiki-l (weekly posting) [In reply to]

Welcome to mediawiki-l. This mailing list exists for discussion and questions
about the MediaWiki software[0]. Important MediaWiki-related announcements
(such as new versions) are also posted to this list.

Other resources.

If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to
mediawiki-announce[1] instead.

MediaWiki development discussion, and all Wikimedia technical questions, should
be directed to the wikitech-l[2] mailing list.

Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist:
- mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions,
- mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise,
- mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subverion repository,
- mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support,
- wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker.

List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives).

To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [12]. Archives of previous postings
can be found at [3].

This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to
read and post to the list.

Posting to the list.

Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common
questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if
your question has been asked before.

To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l[at]lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a
public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you
send.

When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of
your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your
message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting
style[11], for clarity.

When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the
subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer
people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post.

Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list,
which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are
posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the
list in general, you should change the reply to only go to that person. This
avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic.

Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common
questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if
your question has been asked before.

To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l[at]lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a
public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you
send.

When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of
your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your
message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting
style[11], for clarity.

When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the
subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer
people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post.

Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list,
which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are
posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the
list in general, you should change the reply to only go to that person. This
avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic.

About this message.

This message is posted to the list once per week by <river[at]wikimedia.org>.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about this mailing.
