OTRS

The OTRS (Open-source Ticket Request System) is used to handle queries, complaints, and comment e-mails from the public. Volunteers trusted to give courteous and helpful responses are given access to the system which operates under the auspices of the Communications committee of the WMF Board of trustees.

If you disagree with an OTRS action and would like it reviewed by other OTRS volunteers, log it at OTRS/review.

More volunteers are always needed. Information about volunteering for the English-language "info" queue can be found on OTRS/info-en recruiting, and a proposed introduction for new users can be found on OTRS/introduction. Otherwise, if you are an experienced editor and feel qualified to help answering emails in your language, please ask the contact for your language. If you would like an email address for a project/language that does not yet have a queue in OTRS, please contact an OTRS admin to set one up.

It is possible to define standard "template" answers to frequently asked questions. If you would like to add some for your queue, please visit OTRS wiki. After that, drop one of the admins a note so that they can be added to the system.

There is also an IRC channel, mailing list and article monitoring system dedicated to Wikimedia OTRS.
