Making it work without IRC Nick
What I've found was that if you have like the later versions, (e.g. 1.10 - 1.11) it doesn't really let you put in IRC Nick into the preferences. Well, here's how you can go around the IRC Nick:

In SpecialIRC.php, look for:

if ($wgUser->mId<1) { $irc = wfMsg('IrcNick'); } else { $irc = $wgUser->mIrcNick; }

Change that to:

if ($wgUser->mId<1) { $irc = "Guest???"; } else { $irc = $wgUser->getName; }

I hope this helped. ^-^ --67.141.8.226 15:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The fix above will not work for users with spaces in their names. I Should have all the patches done soon...Watch for them. --Qsheets 03:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Is there option to only allow the IRC-page for logged in registered users and hide it from random visitors or have some kind of "you must login" page instead?
 * There are a few lines of code you will need to add towards the top of the extension function to get this effect. I don't remember it off the top of my head, but if you were to ask around, I'm sure someone is bound to know (most likely place is the IRC channel: #mediawiki on FreeNode). --Qsheets
