etherpad.wikimedia.org cleanup: April 30, Save your pads!

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:

There is an additional technical discussion on Phabricator:

And I've created a topic on Village Pump misc:

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.

Thanks,
-Travis
