Kommunikation
Det finns flera sätt att komma i kontakt med andra MediaWiki-användare eller att få hjälp snabbt.
Kom igång
Dessa första steg är bra:
- Registrera dig och lägg till lite information om dig på din användarsida.
- Följ nyheterna och våra kanaler på sociala medier.
- Prenumerera på wikitech-announce för att få e-postmeddelanden om nya aktiviteter.
- Anslut dig till IRC-kanalen #mediawiki connect och kanske fler.
- Make sure you have an email address confirmed and email notifications enabled in your mediawiki.org preferences.
- "Watch" (click the star icon of) the pages you want to follow and perhaps contribute to.
- All the better if you find a MediaWiki Group that matches your location or interests!
Chatt
#mediawiki on irc.freenode.net is the around-the-clock IRC channel for realtime communication. If you don't have an IRC client, use web chat.
- Please read the Help:FAQ before asking.
- State your problem immediately and wait for a response. Don't ask "is there anyone here" or "can someone help me". This is normal IRC etiquette and allows participants to multitask effectively.
- Expect to wait for some time for an initial response, especially in off-peak times. Despite this, out of courtesy for the volunteer who is helping you, try to answer their questions promptly.
Om du inte mottar ett svar kan det betyda en av följande orsaker:
- Nobody was around at the time of day you chose. If the channel is generally quiet, come back later.
- You're asking a question which nobody knows the answer to, or which requires a lot of work to answer.
- You're asking a question which is in the FAQ, the help, the manual, or other documentation, and the volunteers in the channel feel it would be best if you found it yourself.
Questions relating to problems with your particular installation of MediaWiki are generally best answered on IRC, since they often require a back-and-forth exchange to isolate the problem, which is tedious when performed on the mailing lists.
Sändlista
Det finns flera sändlistor tillgängliga. De rekommenderade listorna är:
- mediawiki-l (or via Gmane) (or via your newsreader) is the high-traffic mailing list to ask for help with using or setting up MediaWiki.
- wikitech-l (or via Gmane) (or via your newsreader) is the high-traffic mailing list for both MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development.
- mediawiki-announce (or via Gmane) (or via your newsreader) is a low-traffic list for announcements of new MediaWiki releases and security updates (all messages also go to mediawiki-l).
- wikitech-ambassadors Announcements about upcoming changes on Wikimedia websites. This list is primarily aimed at end users of Wikimedia wikis, not the MediaWiki software in general.
Please check the archives first! All three lists are also available through Gmane which provides access as newsgroups or in various web-based formats, and includes its own archives and archive search.
