Description rgb 2013-06-28 20:00:32 UTC 
There is no "contact us" page on mediawiki: if a new user have problems registering, for example, it is not obvious where he/she needs to search for help. 

A page, accessible from the left bar and providing contact information, is needed. 

Note that sending an email to the dev mailing list is not a solution for many users because this means exposing their email address.

Reopening since this is driving (relatively) many support requests to the dev list. As discussed on the dev list, another solution could be to add to the footer:

For support requests and problems with OpenOffice use the official forum:
http://forum.openoffice.org. For problems with this wiki site (not with
the OpenOffice program), e-mail dev@openoffice.apache.org and insert
[MWIKI] in the subject of your e-mail.

(this must not necessarily be translated; all the e-mails we received so far are in English).

The "relative many" is about 5 over 2weeks.

Never the less problem is solved. This means that we have changed in:
- mwiki original code (watch out with every patch installed)
- ContactPage original code (watch out with every upgrade).

The text is NOT translated, and will only be shown in english.
