Help:Chat

Chat Now

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

Rules
There are a few restrictions we must institute to prevent any trouble.

# mwikitalk rules
Channel Operators (identified by the @ or a star next to their name on the wiki's applet) are in place to kick or ban unruly users. Trusted users will be allowed operator status.

Commands
You are now ready to chat! You have some customization options:
 * Text colors. Click on the 'Colours' tab on the bottom of the chat screen to select a text color. Alternatively, you can use the command /style [number] [number] to choose a text color and background, and the command /style to reset the color back to black with no background color, and you can use /style bold to make all of your words bold and /style underline to underline all of your sentence.  For example: /style bold 4 2  will give you a bold red font with a blue background.   You can see the full list of commands right here.
 * Bold, underline, italics. Using the Mibbit client, individual words can be bold/italicized/underlined, and can be used for emphasis. To bold, use * around the word – *bold*.  To italicize, use / around the word – /italics/.  To underline, use _ around the word – _underline_.
 * Private chatting. Click on a user's name in the right-hand side and select "PM" to talk to him or her alone. It will appear in a separate tab on the bottom row.
 * Translation. As we are a multi-cultural community, there is the chance that someone does not know English, or be very good with it. The Mibbit chat provides a Translation tool.  To use it, click the 'Translation' tab on the bottom of the chat screen to select which language you see and/or which language people see from you.  If used correctly, this tool can allow users to be speaking completely different languages, but still be able to understand each other.

Here are a few of the many commands you can use in the chat: Here are some commands that an op can use:
 * /j #[roomname] – join another room by opening another tab on the top row, with #[roomname] being the name of the channel you want to join.
 * /nick [nickname] – Another way of changing your name.
 * /query [username] – A fancy way of opening a private-message tab.
 * /me [blah blah] – A fancy way of referring to yourself (/me goes away results in * [Username] goes away in a purple-colored font).
 * /away [message] – Marks you as being away so that people know that you won't be able to reply to their queries and questions. [message] is the message that will be sent to people trying to query you. This status will automatically be removed when you say something. If a user's nick is coloured in grey, then that user is away.
 * /WHOIS [Username] – Let's you see what chatrooms a user is chatting in. You can also see a user's IP, whether he/she is away or not and if the user has identified or not.
 * /WHOWAS [Username] – Let's you see who a user was. It shows his/her IP that he/she was using at the time when he/she was logged in.
 * /quit [message] – Quits your current chat session. [message] is a message explaining why you have to quit. [message] doesn't have to be specified for the command to work, though.
 * /msg NickServ OR /ns +
 * REGISTER [password] [email] – How to make sure no one can impersonate you, as well as we allow you to be added to the access list and create your own channels.
 * VERIFY REGISTER [nick] [verification code] – Be sure to verify your nick following the instructions Darkmyst sends out to your email in order to complete registration.
 * IDENTIFY [password] – If you registered your name, this is how you enter your password to log in.
 * SET password [new password] – If you want to change your password, this is how you do it. You must identify yourself first.
