Communication/hi

अन्य मीडियाविकी सदस्यों को संपर्क करने या तत्काल सहायता प्राप्त करने के कई तरीके हैं।

पहले कदम
कुछ उचित कदम :


 * Register and add some info about yourself in your user page.
 * Follow the News and our social media channels.
 * Check the newsletters that you can subscribe to.
 * Join IRC channel and perhaps more.


 * Make sure you have an email address 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!

बातचीत
#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.

यदि आपको उत्तर नहि मिले तो इसका मतलाब बहुत कुछ हो सकता है:


 * Nobody was around at the time of day you chose. If the channel is generally quiet, come back later.
 * आप ऐसा सवाल पूछ रहे है जिसका उत्तर किसी के पास नही है, या फिर इस सवाल का उत्तर बहुत मुश्किल है
 * 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.

Mailing lists
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 help with using or setting up MediaWiki.
 * wikitech-l (or via Gmane) (or via your newsreader) is the high-traffic mailing list for both MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development.
 * 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).
 * wikitech-ambassadors Announcements about upcoming changes on Wikimedia websites. This list is primarily aimed at end users of Wikimedia wikis, not the MediaWiki software in general.

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.
