Known Issues

 * The extension does not attempt to use the MediaWiki login data to determine what /nick to use on IRC; all users are logged on as 'anonymous' by default. It is at least theoretically possible to patch the extension code to change this, however the restrictions on valid characters in IRC usernames are far more limiting than those for MediaWiki usernames.
