1. Open an e-mail in Gmail from the mailing list that you'd like to filter out of your Inbox, and click "Filter messages from this mailing list".
2. This automatically creates a search query for this e-mail list. Here, choose "Create filter".
3. Enable any preferences for this filter. For example, "Skip Inbox", and "Apply new label" (use any label you like, for example the name of the mailing list "wikitech-l"). To clean up your Inbox and apply this to older e-mails as well, simply tick "Also apply to N matching conversations".

Create filter for web notifications

This is similar to the above for mailing lists, but based on the sender instead of a mailing list. This can be useful to organize notifications from Phabricator, Gerrit, or any other web service.
