Help:Chat

Join #mariowiki, the MarioWiki Chat

Starting
The chatroom is meant to be a safe place to hang out and enjoy yourself while chatting about anything Mario. When you first enter, you'll automatically join the mariowiki channel.

You are now ready to chat! You have some customization options:
 * 1) Text colors. Left-click on a color on the right to make it your text color, right-click on another color to make it your background color.
 * 2) Smilies. We have several smilies, including Mario-themed smilies. See the table below for a list of them all and the code to input to have them appear in your messages.
 * 3) Private chatting. Double-click on a user's name in the right-hand side to talk to him or her alone. It will appear in a separate tab on the bottom row.

Here are some commands you can use in the chat:
 * 1) /join #roomname – open another tab on the top row to show another room. Shortcut: /j #roomname
 * 2) /query username – a fancy way of opening a private-message tab.
 * 3) /server irc.name.org – go to another server in the IRC world. WARNING! You will leave our chat room and go to #mariowiki on another server, which may be empty. Not recommended.

Operators are in place to kick or ban unruly users. These will generally be sysops and patrollers.

Restrictions
However, there are a few restrictions we must institute to prevent any trouble.
