The Pedia of Interest IRC chat room is a real-time chat room in which users are able to talk in a friendly and open environment. Other than for the wiki's own chat room, no Wikia user account is necessary to join.
Rules[]
All rules and guidelines for using the Wikia chat listed in our official policies also apply to the IRC chat.
- Users should remain polite and calm at all times. If you are unable to do so, you are encouraged to step away for a time, then come back later.
- NO SPOILERS.
- No lurking. Only join the chat if you're willing to participate. Admins reserve the right to kick inactive users if they fail to respond to pings.
- Do not impersonate other users. If you have a Wikia username, please sign in with it. It is recommended to register your username with the IRC network in order to prevent other people from using it.
- Members of the admin team will have operator status. Their usernames are denoted with an @ symbol.
How to join[]
Via Client[]
To join #pediaofinterest, you need to configure your IRC client. #pediaofinterest is located on the freenode IRC network, which you will need to connect to. The details are as follows:
Server: chat.freenode.net
For specific servers, see http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml
Port: 6667 (default), 6697 (SSL)
This is usually not needed, as IRC clients tend to use 6667 by default.
Channel: #pediaofinterest
Most IRC clients have "freenode" in the default network list, you only need to select it. After you are connected to the server, type /join #pediaofinterest in the reply box and press Enter.
Your web browser may be preconfigured to open IRC links in some IRC client, so you can try clicking this link:
#pediaofinterest
chat.freenode.net:6667
SSL port: 6697
or
irc://chat.freenode.net/pediaofinterest
Via Webchat[]
If you're not sure how to use an IRC client, you can easily use the embedded webchat on this page or go to http://webchat.freenode.net/ to open the chat in an external window.
