Hello, This is not an official communication, but I wanted to spread the word that the WMF technical ops team is planning a cleanup of the WMF Etherpad instance, on or after April 30 2026. This will result in all pads being deleted.
I wrote up a more detailed explanation here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Etherpad#Etherpad_wipe/deletion/clean_slate_proposal There is an additional technical discussion on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415237 And I've posted to Village Pump misc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#etherpad.wikimedia.org_cleanup:_April_30,_Save_your_pads ! I am not involved in this decision. I just wanted to spread the word the help folks who may have used the service to identify and migrate their pads. We should probably try to centralize questions/discussion to the Village Pump topic or the Phabricator ticket? Thanks, -Travis
