Here's how to effectively use IRC:

Our IRC channels are #hrwiki and #hrwiki-fanstuff. They can be accesed through chat.hrwiki.org, although it is recommended that you use an IRC client.

Contents

General Commands

Message Action
/join <channel name> Opens a window conneting you to the specified chat room
/nick <nickname> Changes your nickname to the new name specified in <nickname>
/msg <username> <message text> Sends a private message to the user specified in <username>
/me <action> Prints a message in the chat room that says you are performing the given action specified in <action>

Examples of general commands

If you want to join the #hrwiki channel simply type:

/join #hrwiki

To change your nickname from "MyDecentUsername" (spaces are not allowed) to "MyGreatUsername" simply type:

/nick MyGreatUsername

If you wish to send the private message "Isn't this a cool feature?" to "SomeGreatUsername" type:

/msg SomeGreatUsername Isn't this a cool feature?

To perform some action type:

/me thinks it's pretty cool.

will result in the following message displayed in the chat window:

*MyGreatUsername thinks it's pretty cool.

Nickserv

In some IRC clients, "/msg Nickserv" can be shortened to "/nickserv".
Message Action
/msg Nickserv REGISTER <password> Protects your current nickname with a password
/msg Nickserv DROP <password> Unprotects your nickname so that anyone can use it
/msg Nickserv IDENTIFY <password> Identifies you as your current nickname
/msg Nickserv ACCESS add/del/list <mask> Allows the given hostmasks to use your nickname
/msg Nickserv SET <option> <parameter> Sets different options and preferences for your nickname
/msg Nickserv LIST <word> Lists all registered nicknames containing the given word

/msg Nickserv INFO <nickname> Gives you information about a given nickname
/msg Nickserv LINK <nickname> <password> Directs your nickname to another given nickname
/msg Nickserv UNLINK <nickname> <password> Cancels the direction of your nickname to another

Nickserv use example

Suppose you want to register your username "MyGreatUsername" (spaces are not allowed) with the password "secret". Log in as "MyGreatUsername". To register type:

/msg nickserv register secret

Every time you log back in your must type:

/msg nickserv identify secret

Depending on what chat program you use, you may program it so that it executes this action automatically every time you log in.

If you get disconnected and your nickname is still present, you must first kill your "ghosted" nickname:

/msg nickserv ghost secret

You can then use your registered nickname:

/nick MyGreatUsername
/msg nickserv identify secret

If someone impersonates you or otherwise uses your registered nickname you can get your nickname back with the release and recover commands:

/msg nickserv recover MyGreatUsername secret
/msg nickserv release MyGreatUsername secret
