Good places to find answers
You can find the answers to many of your questions at the following places:
- Search — for many questions it's fastest and easiest to use the search box. e.g. To find the capital of South Africa, fill in south africa in the box on the left and click Search.
- Reference Desk — for knowledge questions (about anything other than how to use Wikipedia) you can ask our volunteers. e.g. "What country has the world's largest fishing fleet?"
- FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions about Wikipedia
- Help:Contents — information about using Wikipedia. e.g. "How do I add an image to an article?".
- Help Desk — the place to ask volunteers questions on how to use Wikipedia.
- New contributors' help page — a range of services to answer newcomers' questions.
- පරිපාලකවරුන්ගේ දැන්වීම් පුවරුව (Administrators' noticeboard) is the place for reporting and discussing incidents that require the intervention of administrators.
Other places to ask questions
- Each article has a Talk page — click on the article's discussion link at the top of the page — for questions, reporting vandalism or discussions about the article.
- කෝපි කඩේ is the place for technical and policy issues.
IRC help
You are also welcome to ask questions in one of Wikipedia's IRC channels. If you have an IRC client installed you can join a channel by connecting to #wikipedia-bootcamp (a help channel for new Wikipedians) or #wikipedia (for general chat). You can also use the web-based client to be connected instantly.
Please do not post your question here.
