Communication/fi

There are several ways to get in contact with other MediaWiki users or to get instant help.

Lähtökiihdytys
These are good first steps:


 * Register and add some info about yourself in your user page.
 * Follow the and our  channels.
 * Subscribe to wikitech-announce to receive email notifications about new activities.
 * Join IRC channel and perhaps.


 * Varmista asetuksistasi, että sähköpostiosoitteesi on varmistettu ja että saat sähköposti-ilmoituksia.
 * "" (napsauta tähteä) sivuja, joita haluat seurata ja mahdollisesti myös päivittää.
 * Mikäpä sen kivempaa, jos löydät, joka vastaa omia kiinnostumisen kohteitasi!

Keskustelu
#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.

Postituslistat
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.

Koskien apua MediaWiki-ohjelmiston kanssa
There is no "official" forum or discussion board, but there are some unofficial ones, for instance on StackExhange.   See also the MediaWiki Developers Facebook group.

Voit myös kirjata tukeen liittyviä kysymyksiä Project:Support desk sivulla, vaikkakin tämä on niukemman väen syynissä kuin muut avunlähteet, joita tällä sivulla on listattu.
