Asqerdec

#mediawiki ^connect on irc.freenode.net is the around-the-clock IRC real-time chat channel for user questions. For technical questions about MediaWiki, use #wikimedia-dev ^connect.

• 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.

Ur k-d-ttunefk ara tririt, ahat d yiwet gar ddeqs n tɣawsiwin:

• 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.

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.
