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

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 ↑
    • 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.

Rules

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

#mariowiki

  • While cursing is allowed, we still do not allow derogatory terms in the chatroom; nor do we allow sexually explicit content. Cursing is a completely different thing from the two aforementioned subjects.
  • No flaming. Comments deemed as flaming will result in a kick and/or ban. This includes complaining to the Ops that they are Ops, and that you are not. Please note that accusing the Ops of breaking rules is not grounds for punishment, and is completely acceptable. However, if the Op in question states why you were kicked or banned, and it is in compliance with the rules, you hold no right to accuse the Op of abusing their power or breaking the rules.
  • No sexually-oriented conversing. Specific comments about sex, nudity, or other particularly graphic comments will result in a kick and/or ban. This does not include saying words such as "sex", but rather going into detail about said subject.
  • No spamming or trolling. Typing a coherent comment or random gibberish more than 5 times will result in a kick and/or ban. Movie quotes, song lyrics and other things of that sort will not be tolerated after 5 lines.
  • No impersonating. Changing your nickname is only acceptable as long as it is linked to your username in some manner. Nick abusing will result in a kick and/or ban. Furthermore, you can not use your previous names on the wiki or forum on chat, as that is no longer your name; only your current name(s) is allowed.
  • No flooding.
    • Talking
    • like
    • this
    • is unacceptable
    • and will
    • result in a
    • kick and/or ban.
  • No discriminatory actions. Making racist, sexist, or discriminatory comments and/or actions towards your fellow chatroom members will result in a kick and/or ban.
  • No user-created bots. Creating bots in #mariowiki will result in an immediate ban and the elimination of said bot.
  • No ban-evading. Evading a ban will result in a doubled ban.

OP-EXCLUSIVE RULES

  • No power abuse. Using Op powers against regulation will result in demotion as well as a kick and/or ban.
  • No slacking. Extreme inactivity will result in demotion.
  • No rule abuse. Failure to enforce rules, breaking rules, and recklessness will result in demotion as well as the possibility of a kick and/or ban.

These rules are subject to change at any time by the #mariowiki Operators' collective decisions. Any rules that are added or changed are to be followed in the same manner that all others are. Any complaints about the rules should be brought up on the corresponding talk page, not to the chatroom Operators. Remember: the chatroom is a privilege, not a right. Failure to abide by these rules will result in punishment. Now, go out there and have some good, clean fun!

#mwikitalk

#mwikitalk is an on-topic channel, exclusively for discussing matters about the wiki itself. If you continue to go off-topic, you will receive a kick, and possibly a ban.

  • No spamming. (Stupid Pointless and Annoying Message. Anything that fits this bill, be it random gibberish or sheer off-topicness, as well as things that do not contribute to the channel itself, will be considered as spam, and its motive of a kick and/or ban.
  • No cursing. Not everyone wants to hear a conversation full of swear words, so please, abstain of using them, as this is motive of a kick and/or ban. The only allowed swears are hell, damn, crap.
  • No flooding: If you type 5 or more lines consecutively that consist of 4 or less words each, you will receive a kick and/or ban.
  • No flaming. This means that you can not insult other users. This also includes being mean to the users who are new. This is motive for a kick and/or ban.
  • Nick changes. It is okay to change your nick to whatever you want, as long as it is appropriate and it is clear that you are really you. (Example: Try to have your user name in the nick, or a well-known nickname).
  • Absolutely no sexual-related conversations. We have many children here, so please, do not even mention or reference anything sexually-oriented. This is grounds for a kick and/or ban.
  • No discrimination. We are a multicultural wiki, with users from many countries, races, religions, and even political thoughts. So please, abstain of making any comment or action that may be discriminatory towards someone. This is motive for a kick and/or ban.
  • No advertising. Advertising is okay as long as it is something related to the MarioWiki. Any other ad will be considered spam.

Bans

  • If you receive 3 kicks, you will receive a ban. The ban duration will change depending on the situation and seriousness of the offense, but here is the main guideline:
  • First ban: 1 hour
  • Second ban: 1 day
  • Third ban: 3 days
  • Fourth ban: 1 week
  • Fifth ban: 1 month
  • Sixth ban: Eternity
  • Ban evading: Evading a ban, will result in a doubled ban.

Ops

  • #mwikitalk ops are some of the administrators of this site.
  • No Op Abusing: If you see anyone abusing of their op privileges, please contact another op by querying him/her, and tell him/her about this. Op abusing may lead to a demotion from their Op status.

Channel Operators (identified by the @ 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.
