| |
|
| As the wiki is not the place for an in-depth chat, we've decided to create a channel for you, the wonderful [[SmashWiki:Users|users of SmashWiki]]!
| | ==IRC details== |
| | *IRC is a method to communicate with other users in a real-time format that doesn't cause edit conflicts or [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]-plugging. |
| | *If you have an [[wikipedia:Comparison of Internet Relay Chat clients|IRC client]] (such as Chatzilla), simply click on the above image/link to access the channel. |
| | **If you lack an IRC client or don't want to use one, you can still use the IRC though the in-browser [http://irc.wikia.com Wikia Gateway]. |
|
| |
|
| Many of the [[SmashWiki:Administrators|administrators]] frequent the channel, and you are cordially invited to chat, discuss wiki issues, notify us of important developments and just generally make yourself at home and chat about anything Smash Bros!
| | ==Guidelines== |
| | *As a general rule, the IRC is an extension of SmashWiki. If in doubt, assume all SmashWiki rules (such as [[SW:NPA|no personal attacks]]) apply. |
| | *The tone of the IRC is generally less formal than SmashWiki itself. Discussion is free to wander to non-Smash Bros. topics, and it is the primary place to talk with others about brawling. |
| | *Many users idle on the IRC - that is, while they are connected, they aren't actively paying attention. Do not expect an immediate reply to a query. |
| | *Don't spam the channel. If discussing wiki content or the like, use a site such as [http://www.pastey.net/ Pastey.net] to share large amounts of text. |
| | *Wikia has a dedicated counter-vandalism channel at [irc://chat.freenode.net/cvn-wikia #cvn-wikia]. |
|
| |
|
| Once you have an [[wikipedia:Comparison of Internet Relay Chat clients|IRC client]], join the channel at '''[irc://chat.freenode.net/wikia-smashbros chat.freenode.net, #wikia-smashbros]'''!<br />If you don't want to use an IRC client, you can use our CGI Gateway at '''http://irc.wikia.com/'''. Select a user name and the channel option of "#wikia-smashbros".
| |
|
| |
| In addition, SmashWiki also has a general anti-vandalism IRC channel, along with the other Wikias: '''[irc://chat.freenode.net/cvn-wikia, chat.freenode.net, #cvn-wikia]'''!

| |
| == Channel rules ==
| |
| # '''Be civil''' - harassment and insulting behavior is not tolerated.
| |
| :*Also note that the channel is not necessarily exempt from rules about personal attacks, disruption, trolling, etc. While administrative action on wiki may not occur for every offense, be aware that severe breaches of conduct may be subject to on-wiki bannings, determined at an admin's discretion.
| |
| # '''Don't spam the channel''', and especially do not copy and paste reams of text. If you need to, please use a pasting service such as [http://www.pastey.net/ Pastey.net]!
| |
| # '''An admin's word is final.'''
| |
| # Try and keep generally on topic ... most of the time ;)
| |
| # English is the language of the channel, but many nationalities may be present, so you may still be able to get help if English isn't your best language. :)
| |
|
| |
| == Useful info ==
| |
| * Many users idle on the channel. There is absolutely no requirement to be chatty or even respond to comments.
| |
| * If you have a question, just ask it. If you don't get an answer straight away, you're probably not being ignored — other people are just busy!
| |
| * Absolutely anyone is welcome to join — as with the wiki, the IRC channel is a neutral channel. Admins, of course, still have final say.
