Fix description encoding of 4 lists
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This is a follow up to P2071 in a sense as this aims to solve the issue occuring (or solve) on other lists under a similar circumstance.

After looking at encoding of private lists, the following need to be fixed:

mediawiki-sv
ruwikiconference-l
wikics-l
wikiis-l

Some are closed but that shouldn't affect the status of closing this as it is a fatal bug in mailman.

JohnLewis assigned this task to Dzahn.
JohnLewis raised the priority of this task from to Medium.

JohnLewis added subscribers: JohnLewis, Dzahn.

Looked into the cause of this quickly; it is a feature added in 2.1.16 as part of Debian's UTF-8 support. Where ISO encoded strings are no longer being converted automatically. Still a fatal and has further reaching effects but should be handled by list administrators (apart from these) alone in future.

mediawiki-sv: was already a disabled list that said it's no longer active. changed description to "Listan är inte längre aktiv." per Google translate

Ruwikiconference-l: fixed description and also link in long description field. -> "Вики-конференция", with help from MaxSem

wikics-l: fixed description -> "Česká Wikipedie"

wikii-sl: description -> "íslenska"

Looks good to me. Don't see this becoming a problem if these lists received emails.
