Communication/pt

Há várias formas de contactar outros utilizadores do MediaWiki ou de conseguir ajuda rápida.

Primeiros Passos
Estes são alguns:


 * Register and add some info about yourself in your user page.
 * Follow the News and our social media channels.
 * Subscribe to wikitech-announce to receive email notifications about new activities.
 * Join IRC channel and perhaps more.


 * Make sure you have an email 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!

Bate-Papo
#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.

Se não obtiver resposta, isto pode significar uma de várias coisas:


 * Ninguém estava presente à hora que escolheu. Se o canal está geralmente silencioso, volte mais tarde.
 * Fez uma pergunta para a qual ninguém tem resposta, ou que exige demasiado trabalho para responder.
 * Fez uma pergunta que está na FAQ, na Ajuda, no Manual técnico, ou noutra Documentação e os voluntários no canal acham que seria melhor ir até lá procurar a resposta.

Perguntas relacionadas com problemas na sua instalação particular do MediaWiki obtêm melhor resposta no IRC, porque normalmente exigem uma troca de perguntas e respostas para isolar o problema, o que se torna lento quando é feito nas mailing lists.

Listas de divulgação
Estão disponíveis várias. As recomendadas são:


 * 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.
