In addition, extensive public and private lists recommend readers to stay with a topic, use nice language and remain professional. Unlike public lists, private lists also help administrators to approve and manage subscriptions.</p> <p>Mundane chores include deciding whether to pass on posts from people who are not subscribed to the list, or inviting them to join the list instead. Occasionally people will ask for information or wish to send complaints (such as for copyright infringement) who do not want to subscribe.</p> <p>Note that these must be distinguished from SPAM, which should be deleted. DO NOT send spammers any messages, such as asking them to subscribe in order to post, because their software will interpret that as "please put me on your sucker list" and make your job ten times harder!</p> <p>List admins (also known as list owners) have the possibility to change specific options on their mailing lists and to edit the moderation queue. The admin interface is reachable by using the link http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admin/, followed by the name of the list (wikipedia-l, for example).</p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"> <h2 id="Configuration_options" data-mw-thread-id="h-Configuration_options"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Configuration_options"></span>Configuration options<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Configuration_options"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Mailing_lists/Administration&action=edit&section=2&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Configuration options"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"> <h3 id="General_options" data-mw-thread-id="h-General_options-Configuration_options"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-General_options-Configuration_options"></span>General options<span data-mw-comment-end="h-General_options-Configuration_options"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Mailing_lists/Administration&action=edit&section=3&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: General options"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span> </div> <p>Generally, there are no special tasks needed.
