Nada más llegar
Estas son las tareas que hacen la mayoría de los colaboradores de MediaWiki en su primer día:


 * 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!

Chat
#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.

Si no recibe respuesta, puede suceder que:


 * 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.

Las cuestiones relacionadas con problemas con su instalación particular de MediaWiki generalmente se responden mejor en IRC, pues normalmente requieren un flujo constante de preguntas y respuestas para aislar el problema, algo tedioso de hacer en las listas de correo.

Listas de correo
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.
