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. Note that you must have Java installed to use our chat applet.

You are now ready to chat! You have some customization options:
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * 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 a few of the many commands you can use in the chat:
 * /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)
 * /msg NickServ OR /ns +
 * REGISTER [password] [email] – how to make sure no one can impersonate you. Everytime you change your nick, you must identify yourself &uarr;
 * IDENTIFY [password] – if you registered your name, this is how you enter your password
 * SET password [new password] – if you want to change your password, this is how you do it. You must identify yourself first.
 * KILL [nickname] [password] – if you fail to enter your name within the time limit, this is what you do to get your name back.
 * DROP [password] – if you want to unregister your nick, this is how you drop it. Note that any nick not used for 30 days will be auto-dropped.
 * /clear – delete all text from the chat window.
 * /ignore [username] – Makes the chat not display any messages from the given username. Useful if someone is spamming.
 * /unignore [username] – Reverses the effect of /ignore.

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