Communication/pt-br

Existem várias maneiras de entrar em contato com outros usuários MediaWiki, ou conseguir ajuda instantânea. As possibilidades recomendadas estão listadas abaixo.

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 News and our social media channels.
 * Subscribe to mediawiki-l mailing list and perhaps more.
 * 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!

Chat
#mediawiki na rede irc.freenode.net é o canal 24 horas para comunicação em tempo real. If you don't have an IRC client, use web chat.


 * Please read the 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.

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 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.

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


 * mediawiki-l (ou via Gmane) (ou via o seu leitor) é a mailing list mais movimentada para solicitar suporte.
 * wikitech-l (ou via Gmane) (ou via o seu leitor) é a mailing list mais movimentada onde o desenvolvimento de código é coordenado.
 * mediawiki-announce (ou via Gmane) (ou via o seu leitor) é uma lista pouco movimentada para anúncios de novas versões do MediaWiki e de atualizações de segurança (todas as mensagens também são publicadas na mediawiki-l).

Por favor verifique os arquivos primeiro! Todas as três listas também estão disponíveis através do Gmane que fornece um acesso como newsgroups ou em várias formas web, e inclui o seu próprio arquivo e sistema de pesquisa.

Newsletter
English Wikipedia's Signpost has a regular technology report with content related to activity within Wikimedia Foundation’s Technology department.

Websites

 * Meta-Wiki da Wikimedia é onde os documentos são guardados e coordenados e propostas são discutidas. There is still a lot of content there that has yet to be moved.
 * Bugzilla é onde novas funcionalidades podem ser pedidas e bugs/erros são reportados ou procurados.

For help with the MediaWiki software
Não existe um fórum "oficial", mas existem privados, por exemplo, mwusers.com and the MediaWiki Developers Facebook group.

You can also post support questions at Project:Support desk, though this is less frequented than the other sources of help listed on this page.
