'''wikitech-l''' is a {{tag|Communication|mailing}} list for the {{tag|MediaWiki developer|MediaWiki development community}} from [[Wikimedia Lists]]. The discussion threads tend to get rather lengthy, as [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation people|people]] debate implementation options; often the conversations devolve into bike-shedding over insignificant details.
