Description Dominic 2012-06-22 00:30:56 UTC
The main mailing list directory at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo has some encoding errors. See the list descriptions for wikiIS-l, wikinews-zh, wikiUK-l, and wikizh-l. If you click through to the lists' own pages, they appear correctly (e.g. https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiuk-l).

I did a test on this and I think that simply copying the existing description into your clipboard, removing it from the admin web interface, saving and then pasting it and saving will fix this problem. If you know know any of the list admins for the aforementioned lists, please get them to try this.

A list of suggested corrections

Some list descriptions are written correctly in UTF-8 and some are broken. All should be fixed to UTF-8. I am attaching a text file with all the correct spellings in UTF-8 and a few other suggested corrections.
