Talk:MediaWiki on IRC

Help me connect to IRC!
Hey guys, I'm trying to connect to #mediawiki with KVIrc 3.4.0. I've installed it and try to connect with "/server irc://irc.freenode.net/mediawiki" but it does not work. All help appreciated. Smaug 20:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Try /server irc.freenode.net and then /join #mediawiki. -- Sayuri 20:52, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * /server irc.freenode.net didn't work. It says,
 * [18:38:13] Attempting connection to irc.freenode.net (Standalone Servers) on port 6667
 * [18:38:13] Looking up the server hostname (irc.freenode.net)...
 * [18:38:13] Server hostname resolved to 207.158.1.150
 * [18:38:13] Failed to start the connection: Access denied
 * [18:38:13] Connection attempt failed [irc.freenode.net]</tt>
 * Could there be some sort of problem with my firewall or something to prevent IRC from working? <font color="#006500">Smaug 22:40, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * SOLVED! It turned out to be my firewall (or some setting I had to log in as computer admin to be warned of) after all, and now it seems to be working.  Thank you for your response anyway. <font color="#006500">Smaug  01:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Is it Free?
Out of Curiosity, is IRC free? i mean, i downloaded it, and it asked me to register within 30 day's. If not, it seems kind of against wikimedia's mission to do things for free.....Bud0011 22:53, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That's because you downloaded a non-free IRC client. There's a lot of different IRC clients, some are free, some not, a list of various IRC clients is available on Wikipedia. <font color="#66A7CC">i <font color="#9966CC">Alex  06:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Moving the CIA bot from #mediawiki to #mediawiki-codereview
The CIA bot will be moved from #mediawiki to #mediawiki-codereview. The commit messages from the CIA bot will be echoed from -codereview to the main channel by codurr, with minor adjustments (namely the addition of a revision link). Lcawte wants confirmation that there's consensus. --MZMcBride 19:39, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems fine to me. Link will be handy. ^demon 19:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * If it will work smoothly and give us extra possibilities, great. Looks a bit overcomplicated though. Max Semenik 19:42, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd support this as well -- Skiz zerz  19:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. --MZMcBride 22:09, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
