Disable wikiru-l
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Has a large amount of moderated messages, a very likely spam source. Last archived email was in 2011 (https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikiru-l/). Best action is to disable the list for now and either poke the community to ask if anyone wants to be responsible for the list.

Wikimedia Russia uses different means of communication, I vote for closure.

I ran our "disable_list.sh" script on this. It finished with:

"wikiru-l disabled. Archives should be available at current location, all mail should be moderated and the list should not be on the listinfo page."

We can always go back.

Dzahn lowered the priority of this task from High to Low.

feel free to reopen if we want anything else to change, like new admins or something

confirmed by putnik as well.

< putnik> It not used anymore as I know.
