Communication/es

Existen muchas maneras en las que puedes contactar con otros usuarios MediaWiki u obtener ayuda rápida. Las posibilidades recomendadas se encuentran listadas a continuación.

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!

Chat

 * #mediawiki en irc.freenode.net es el canal canal IRC para comunicación en tiempo real. If you don't have an IRC client, use 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.

Listas de correo
There are several mailing lists available. The recommended ones are:


 * mediawiki-l (o vía Gmane) (o vía tu lector de noticias) es la lista de correo (de tráfico abundante) para pedir ayuda.
 * wikitech-l (o vía Gmane) (o vía tu lector de noticias) es la lista de correo (de tráfico abundante) donde se coordina el desarrollo de código.
 * mediawiki-announce (o vía Gmane) (o vía tu lector de noticias) es una lista de correo de bajo tráfico para anunciar nuevas versiones y parches de seguridad de MediaWiki (todos los mensajes también van a mediawiki-l).

Por favor, ¡revisa primero los archivos! Las tres listas también están disponibles a través de Gmane que provee acceso como grupo de noticias o en varios formatos basados en web, e incluye su propio archivo y buscador.

Sitios web

 * Wikimedia's Meta-Wiki, el sitio donde antiguamente se almacenaba los documentos y se discutían las propuestas, antes de que se iniciara este sitio web. Aún existe allí, bastante información que no ha sido movida a este sitio.
 * Bugzilla, donde se solicitan mejoras o se reportan errores del software.

Para ayuda del software MediaWiki
No existe un foro «oficial» o tablero de discusión, pero existen algunos privados, p.e. 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.
