Communication/nl

Er zijn verschillende manieren om andere MediaWiki-gebruikers te contacteren of om hulp te vragen. De aanbevolen mogelijkheden vind je hieronder.

Landing
This is what most MediaWiki contributors do in their first day:


 * Register and add some info about yourself in your user page.
 * Follow the News and our social media channels.
 * Subscribe to mediawiki-l mailing list and perhaps more.
 * Join IRC channel and perhaps more.


 * Make sure you have an email 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.
 * All the better if you find a MediaWiki Group that matches your location or interests!

Chatten
#mediawiki op irc.freenode.net is het rond-de-klok IRC-kanaal voor realtime-communicatie. Als u niet beschikt over een IRC client, gebruik dan web chat.


 * Please read the FAQ 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.

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.
 * You're asking a question which is in the FAQ, the help, the manual, or other documentation, and the volunteers in the channel feel it would be best if you found it yourself.

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.

Maillijsten
There are several mailing lists available. The recommended ones are:


 * mediawiki-l (of via Gmane) (of via uw newsreader) is de maillijst (met veel verkeer) waar je om hulp kan vragen.
 * wikitech-l (of via Gmane) (of via uw newsreader) is de maillijst (met veel verkeer) waar scriptontwikkeling wordt gecoördineerd.
 * mediawiki-announce (of via Gmane) (of via uw newsreader) is een lijst (met weinig verkeer) voor aankondigingen van nieuwe MediaWiki-versies en veiligheidsupdates (all deze berichten gaan ook naar mediawiki-l).

Check eerst de archieven aub! Al deze lijsten zijn ook beschikbaar via Gmane. Gmane verleent toegang via nieuwsgroepen of in verschillende web-gebaseerde formaten en heeft eigen archieven en zoekmogelijkheden.

Websites

 * Wikimedia's Meta-Wiki was vroeger de plaats waar documenten werden geleid en voorstellen werden bediscussieërd voordat deze website werd gestart. Er is nog steeds veel inhoud die nog moet verplaatst worden.
 * Bugzilla is waar eigenschapsverzoeken (feature requests) en bugs kunnen gerapporteerd of opgezocht worden.

For help with the MediaWiki software
There is no "official" forum or discussion board, but there are some private ones, e.g. mwusers.com and the MediaWiki Developers Facebook group.

You can also post support questions at Project:Support desk, though this is less frequented than the other sources of help listed on this page.
