We were discussing parser behavior, then 2 people suggested the chat should be on another list, yet they did not provide a link. I quoted a link, and the (apparently) initial reference to the list.

We were discussing parser behavior, then 2 people suggested the chat should be on another list, yet they did not provide a link. I quoted a link, and the (apparently) initial reference to the list. Is there more? Maybe we should occasionally revisit the list of lists, and quote it here, as of today:

Generally a link is sufficent, we are all more than capable of using a web browser and a whole page such as what you posted is likely to pollute an archive search, rather than aid. It is also none of our concern whether you followed the link or not, to be fair I doubt anyone on this list cares much - again, anyone who needed that specific post refreshing for them could have simply clicked on the link.

No more energy than we have for self-appointed list police.
We *went* to that list. Had you subscribed to it, you would know that the traffic on that list about parsing now exceeds such traffic here by about 50:1.
So unless you got appointed moderator here while I wasn't looking, your observation is noted; thank you very much.

Or www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mailing_lists, which is a little more focussed on the software (rather than WMF sites that use it).
btw, you will note that I didn't need to replicate the entire page in this posting - simply posting the link is normally sufficient, particularly on a technical list.
