Club Penguin Wiki:IRC

See the IRC Policy.

Please use this for chatting, and shoutbox for general discussion and announcments. In many ways, IRC is more suited to chatting.

We set up an IRC channel for the wiki to use. It means everyone can chat to each other, similar to Xat, although this is official.

Steps
For users who are new to IRC, it is much like the Shout box, apart from the fact that the chat auto-refreshes each time there is new activity. Here are the steps.


 * 1) Click on this link.
 * 2) Type up your username in the corresponding box. IRC is not connected to Wikia directly, so you can type up different names, but make sure not to impersonate someone - because we can find out who you are.
 * 3) Type in #wikia-clubpenguin in the channels box, if it is not already there.
 * 4) Chat and follow Wiki rules.

Sysops will be given system operator powers. (See "What Are System Operators?" below)

Please register your IRC nickname if you want it permanent so people cannot impersonate you. There will be a link when using IRC to do this.

This is the wiki's official chat. All other chats are user-operated and are not affiliated with this wiki.

What Are System Operators?
System Operator or Sysop is a power in IRC that will be given to the wiki's Administrators. System ops can kick users from the chat, ban users from the chat, and change the channel settings. They are able to make other users Operators also. To learn more about what system operators do, ask an op in the channel.

Administrator Channel
The Club Penguin Wiki also has a channel exclusively available to administrators, called #wikia-clubpenguin-admin. All administrators automatically are OPped and therefore non-admins cannot enter. It is used to discuss various wiki topics, before they are released to the community.

Current Official Channel Ops
''These users are the official ops of the channel, and have registered irc accounts. Note that ocassionally you may see other temporary OPs not listed below, but all listed below are completely official.''

Alternative ways to get to chat

 * If the normal channel isn't working, then log onto the "Wikia" channel (#wikia), and when you're on, please type this in: /join #wikia-clubpenguin-full. This is the wiki's alternative channel.
 * #wikia-clubpenguin Normal method for IRC
 * Java client

Due to COPPA Laws, and IRC's Terms and Conditions, users must be above the age of 13 to register, but you may join legally under that age and just chat. This also applies to registering on Wikia sites, so shouldn't affect anyone.
