Please could a mailing list be created for grwp-wici@lists.wikimedia.org with myself (richard.nevell@wikimedia.org.uk) and Robin Owain (robin.owain@wikimedia.org.uk) as admins?
We will be using the list to coordinate our work in Wales

Hi @Richard_Nevell_WMUK. Please see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists#Create_a_new_list for required information. Thanks!
Thought I included it all? Anyway...
Should be a public list with public archives.
Ah sorry! I missed that the last sentence actually can be used as the mailing list description...
I was going to create this, but it appears @tomasz assigned this to himself, so perhaps he is working on it?
You have successfully created the mailing list grwp-wici and notification has been sent to the list owner richard.nevell@wikimedia.org.uk. You can now:
Visit the list's info page
Visit the list's admin page
@Richard_Nevell_WMUK Hello, i have created the list and you should have received an automatic mail from mailman about it, with a random password. I have made only 2 changes from the defaults for all settings. I set the description that shows up on the list of lists to "co-ordinating Wikimedia projects in Wales" and i added the second admin robin.owain.
All other settings are up to you.
There is one actionable i ask you to do, please login with the password you received, and then reset it to something else and share the new password with your second admin. Currently he doesn't know the password as there is just one initial admin for technical reasons. Btw, if you go to your list info page above you will see your names are listed as "list run by" but if you mouse over it the actual email address is the special alias "grwp-wici-owner@lists.wikimedia.org" that can be used to reach both of you at once.
The public archives will show up here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/grwp-wici/
People can start subscribing on:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/grwp-wici
(Or you can mass-subscribe with a form in the admin UI).
Let us know if any issues with the password.
