Communication/yue

呢度有好多方法可以同其他嘅MediaWiki用戶聯絡，或者得到即時嘅幫助. 建議可以用下面嘅方法.

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 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!

傾計房
#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.

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, the , the , or other , 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.

郵件名單
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.

MediaWiki 軟件嘅幫手
There is no "official" forum or discussion board, but there are some private ones, e.g. mwusers.com and the [http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=2205099323 MediaWiki Developers] Facebook group.

你亦都可以響Project:Support desk度貼上你嘅支援問題，之但係響嗰度嘅頻率比其它響呢度列出嘅幫手就會少啲.

要討論呢個網站，MediaWiki.org

 * Project:Current issues討論一啲成個網站基本所關注到嘅，同埋討論有關政策嘅問題.
