Communication/id

There are several ways to get in contact with other MediaWiki users or to get instant help.

Landing
These are good first steps:


 * Register and add some info about yourself in your user page.
 * Follow the and our  channels.
 * Subscribe to wikitech-announce to receive email notifications about new activities.
 * 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!

Obrolan
#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.

Jika Anda tidak mendapat balasan, ada beberapa kemungkinan penyebab:


 * Tidak ada seorang pun dalam kanal saat Anda mengajukan pertanyaan. Jika kanal sedang sepi, coba kembali lagi beberapa saat kemudian.
 * Anda mengajukan pertanyaan yang tidak seorang pun tahu jawabannya, atau pertanyaan itu membutuhkan upaya besar untuk dijawab.
 * Anda mengajukan pertanyaan yang sudah ada di dalam FAQ, bantuan, manual, atau dokumentasi lain, dan para sukarelawan di kanal merasa lebih baik Anda mencoba mencari dulu jawabannya sendiri.

Pertanyaan tentang masalah terhadap suatu instalasi MediaWiki paling bagus ditanyakan melalui IRC, karena umumnya masalah semacam ini membutuhkan pertukaran informasi bolak-balik untuk mengidentifikasi masalah sehingga sulit dilakukan melalui milis.

Milis
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.
