#REDIRECT [[Wikimedia Foundation/Communications]] |
|||
The [[Main_Page]] probably has a section called "Information network" on it. It is the primary list of communication related topics. |
|||
* This page is to serve as a phone book of sorts (untill it gets too big) and |
|||
* a directory of communication tools, methods, and conventions. available to editors, and readers for the purpose of maintining wikimedia projects |
|||
== functionality built into MediaWiki == |
|||

|||
* [[User talk pages]] can display a message on another users next page render, that they have messages. |
|||
* The signature ""[[User:AaronPeterson|AaronPeterson]] 22:55, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)"" (for tildas, (squiggilly lines, the key before the 1) can help clarify who the speaker is. |
|||
* By convention, most pages are production pages, and are not appropriate for discussions, but there is an associated [[talk page]] for each content page. |
|||
* You can use the [[page history]] features to figure out exactly what changes have been done to a page, this will save on communication efforts. |
|||
== Conventions == |
|||
* Please communicate before making major changes to a page, especially when the page has been edited recently by a major contributor |
|||
* please sign your comments (for tildas) |
|||
* please limit discussions to the discussion pages, or pages clearly marked for it |
|||
* questions about content have been known to be accepted directly in the body of some pages, it's best to answer by fixing the problem and moving the question to the discussion page. |
|||

|||
[[IRC Channels]] is the authorative page on this topic. |
|||
irc.freenode.net #mediawiki and #wikipedia |

|||
== Voice Conferencing == |
|||
=== Team Speak === |
|||
is primarily used for video games, however, this could facilitate wiki editing, by allowing people to type and talk at the same time. |

|||
