You know, wikitech-l is for MediaWiki development discussion as well,
not just site operations. mediawiki-l is only for MediaWiki support,
not for all MediaWiki discussion.
It is for wikimedia's mediawiki development - all our wikis surely
need lots of that. But when it comes to:
"when all you use is MediaWiki, then you're on your own "
I'm not suggesting that you're on your own, I'm suggesting nice people
on mediawiki-l.
Oh, and those problems, they definitely sound like support questions.
If you feel there is no arena to "discuss" general mediawiki rather
than "support", we may assist you with communications infrastructure
for that.
You know, foundation-l should be also used for mediawiki discussion
(oh, sometimes it is), still, mediawiki, wikimedia, what the diff?
At least, that's what I've always
been told, and Meta agrees:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/overview
It is a wiki!
That doesn't seem right to me, and it completely contradicts my
expectations
and the reason I've been using this list for the past however many years:
My understanding:
* mediawiki-l - support
* wikitech-l - development
That seems like a much clearer and more sensible division than:
* mediawiki-l - development
* wikitech-l - development but only if it's relevant to Wikimedia
You're right - it is a wiki.... which is why I trust the information that's
been there since 2006, rather than the information that was added this
morning.
