There are a few forums around the internet where you can get help both with using MediaWiki and with setting up MediaWiki.


 *  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)
 * 2) MediaWiki Discord - Unofficial, topics include wiki installation, operation, skinning, custom developments (details)
 * 3) Outreachy programs chat - For Outreachy programs, using Zulip chat (details)
 * 4) Telegram @wmhack group - For Hackathon related questions (details)

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


 * 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.

Ur k-d-ttunefk ara tririt, ahat d yiwet gar ddeqs n tɣawsiwin:


 * 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.
