Communication/uk

Існують різні способи для спілкування з іншими користувачами MediaWiki, або оперативного отримання допомоги. Рекомендовані можливості наведено нижче.

Початок
Ось те, що зазвичай дописувачі MediaWiki роблять у перший день:


 * 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!

Чат
#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.

Якщо Ви не отримуєте відповіді, це може означати таке:


 * 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.

На запитання, пов'язані з проблемами Вашого конкретного встановлення MediaWiki, найкраще шукати відповідь у IRC, оскільки вони часто потребують обміну інформацією для вирішення проблеми, що втомливо робити у списку розсилки.

Поштові розсилки
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.

Для отримання допомоги по питаннях роботи з ПЗ MediaWiki
There is no "official" forum or discussion board, but there are some private ones, e.g. mwusers.com and the [http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=2205099323 MediaWiki Developers] Facebook group.

Ви також можете написати прохання про допомогу в службу підтримки (англійською мовою), правда ця сторінка не так часто відвідується, як решта перерахованих тут джерел допомоги.
