 *  Project:Support desk 
 * MediaWiki Users forum ( Unofficial )
 * StackExchange's #mediawiki tag (RSS feed) ( Unofficial )
 * Reddit's MediaWiki group ( Unofficial )

Easy to use chat
There are a few different discord-like chat servers where help can be found depending on the topic:


 * 1) Wikimedia Chat - For movement-wide discussions, not just technical matters. Started in September 2020, using Mattermost chat (details)

IRC
on irc.freenode.net is the around-the-clock for technical questions.


 * Sorağançı,$1 uqığız.
 * Problemalarnı turı itep taswırlağız häm cawapnı kötegez.
 * Cawabığızğa idäräçelärneñ berse yäki aktiv qullanuçı cawap birä ala.

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.

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 help with using or setting up MediaWiki.
 * wikitech-l (or via Gmane) (or via your newsreader) is the high-traffic mailing list for both MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development.
 * 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).
 * wikitech-ambassadors Announcements about upcoming changes on Wikimedia websites. This list is primarily aimed at end users of Wikimedia wikis, not the MediaWiki software in general.

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.

Social Media
Follow the MediaWiki accounts:


 * @MediaWiki (Twitter)
