Wikipedia:IRC channels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
For real-time chat with other Wikipedians, in addition to live recent changes (find out more), several Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels are located on the Freenode network here :
- #Wikipedia is the main channel. Also #wikipedia-en
- #Mediawiki is particularly for discussion about the Mediawiki software.
- #wikiproject is especially for Wikipedia:WikiProject coordination and collaboration.
- #wpbootcamp is a training channel for new Wikipedians. see Wikipedia:Bootcamp
- irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-en-vandalism is set-up by the Counter Vandalism Unit to list and discuss current vandalism
If you don't use IRC, there is a Jabber chat room at en.wikipedia@conference.jabber.org, although it is empty more often than not.
- More details are on Meta.
- Meta:IRC channel cloaks provides information about obtaining a hostmask cloak.
- Wikipedia:IRC channel scripts has some example scripts you may find useful in the Wikipedia IRC channels.
