Communication/ja

MediaWiki の利用者たちに連絡を取ったり支援を求めたりする方法がいくつかあります. お勧めの方法を以下に列挙します.

Landing
This is what most MediaWiki contributors do in their first day:


 * Register and add some info about yourself in your user page.
 * Follow the and our  channels.
 * Subscribe to mediawiki-l mailing list and perhaps.
 * Join IRC channel and perhaps.


 * Make sure you have an email confirmed and email notifications enabled in your mediawiki.org preferences.
 * "" (click the star icon of) the pages you want to follow and perhaps contribute to.
 * All the better if you find a that matches your location or interests!

チャット
#mediawiki on irc.freenode.net is the around-the-clock for realtime communication. If you don't have an IRC client, use web chat.


 * Please read the 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.

If you don't get an answer, this could mean one of a number of things:


 * 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, the , the , or other , 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.

メーリング リスト
There are several available. The recommended ones are:


 * mediawiki-l（または Gmane やニュースリーダー）はサポート用の、流量が多いメーリングリストです.
 * wikitech-l（または Gmane やニュースリーダー）はスクリプトの開発やその調整についての、流量が多いメーリングリストです.
 * [mail:mediawiki-announce|mediawiki-announce mediawiki-announce]（または Gmane やニュースリーダー）は MediaWiki のリリースやセキュリティアップデートを通知するための、流量が少ないメーリングリストです.

メーリングリストに参加する前に、まず過去ログをご覧ください! これら 3 つのメーリングリストは、ニュースグループとして、またはさまざまなウェブベースの形式でアクセスでき、過去ログやその検索を含めてGmaneで読むことができます.

For help with the MediaWiki software
