Chat
#mediawiki en irc.freenode.net todo o día para comunicación en directo. Se ti queres ter un IRC, emprega 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.

Mailing lists
There are several available. The recommended ones are:


 * mediawiki-l (or via Gmane) (or via your newsreader) is the high-traffic mailing list to ask for support.
 * wikitech-l (or via Gmane) (or via your newsreader) is the high-traffic mailing list for software development, especially when it relates to Wikimedia (not just MediaWiki) wikis.
 * 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).

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.
