First, I am sorry. It was me, hastily clicking "confirm" to remove all subscribers instead of specific user I wanted to remove.

[06:22:19] <revi> oh shit [06:23:07] <revi> I just clicked "remove all members" for commons-l and mindlessly clicked "confirm", would it be possible to undo... this catastrophy?
Yeah, I am stupid. **//Mea culpa//**. What I wanted to do was "unsubscribe that [fakemailgenerator](https://www.fakemailgenerator.com/faq/) user", but I ended up clicking "remove all" instead of "remove selected".
I filed a task to see if WMF can undo my grave mistake. Again, I am sorry for all those confused.

After calming myself down, I just took second look on subscriber lists, and it seems like... I closed the browser fast enough to stop truly removing everyone, so people with email address K (and later in latin alphabet) survived, but A to K was affected. Well, those who received this in your inbox is probably unaffected, so... if someone asks, tell them to resubscribe or wait to see if WMF can resubscribe you. :P
Hello people;
TLDR: You can ignore 'You are unsubscribed from commons-l' email.
At 6:21 (UTC) today, I clicked 'unsubscribe everyone' instead of 'unsubscribe selected users', and proceeded despite the subtle warning page. On a second reading of the warning, I realize I did something wrong, and closed the browser in an attempt to make it stop. It was stopped, but browser proceeded to remove people, and this resulted in removing email address starting with A to somewhere in middle of K to be removed.
WMF Database admins reverted my mistake at around 13:22 (UTC) today; [1] your subscription settings should be as is before today. If you received 'you were unsubscribed' email, __you do not need to do anything__. However, if you re-subscribed during that time (6:21 ~ 13:22), your subscription settings are not restored. Also, if you unsubscribed between that timeframe, you may have been re-subscribed. Sorry for the confusion and you can safely unsubscribe now.
This should be the end of today's drama.
Thanks!
