Wikipedia:Mailing lists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Wikipedia has a number of mailing lists for general users and administrators. 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 [1] and MARC [2].
