මීඩියාවිකි පරිශීලකයින් හා සම්බන්ධ වීමට හා එසැනින් උදව් ලබා ගැනීමට ක්‍රම කිහිපයක්ම ඇත.

Basics
මූලික පියවර:


 * Register your user account and set up your public user page.
 * Make sure you have an email address 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.
 * ඔබ අසනා ප්‍රශ්නය නිතර අසන ප්‍රශ්න වල හෝ අත්පොතේ හෝ අනෙකුත් ලියකියවිලි වල තිබෙනවා වෙන්නට හැකිය. එම නිසා ඔබට එවායින් සොයාගැනීම වඩාත් සුදුසු බව සිතනවා ඇත.

පිළිසඳර
on irc.freenode.net is the around-the-clock for user questions. For technical questions about MediaWiki, use.


 * 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.

ඔබට පිළිතුරක් ලැබුනේ නැතිනම් එයට හේතුව මේවායින් එකක් විය හැක:

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.
 * ඔබ තෝරාගත් වේලාවේ කිසිවෙකු නොසිටින්නට ඇත. නාලිකාව නිශ්ශබ්ද නම්, වෙන වේලාවක පැමිනෙන්න.
 * ඔබ අසන ප්‍රශ්නයට පිළිතුර කිසිවෙකු නොදන්නවා විය හැක. එසේත් නොමැතිනම් එහි පිළිතුරට කිසියම් කාර්යක් කිරීමට සිදුවිය හැක.

විද්‍යුත් ලිපි ලැයිස්තු
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.
