Hi,
The maintenance window has just closed and this was done in the window.
The new list lives under 'wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org' with a redirect from 'wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org'. This email has been sent to the latter as a test of redirection.
Thank you to Rob Halsell for his work in the maintenance window.
Thanks, John Lewis

Hi everyone,
On Tuesday, 19th of May, there is the intention to rename the wikidata-l mailing list to wikidata https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99136. This will drop the -l suffix. This is being done in the intention to unify and standarise a naming scheme for all Wikimedia mailing lists that has been waiting for several years.
This is taking part in an existing planned maintenance window < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99098%3E so no issues are expected to arise from this. Existing URLs and emails will continue to function correctly.
This is just an email giving a brief notice that this will happen. If you have any more questions, please reply and I'll try my best to respond as soon as possible.
Thanks to Lydia for kindly accepting to allow a rename of the list to happen during the Tuesday window as well.
John Lewis
