The ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki's '''IRC''' channel is the wiki's main mode of socializing. It is used for chit-chat and is also a different and quicker way to notify a staff member about a problem with the wiki. It also, if possible, should be used for socialization with other users rather than through the use of users' talk pages.
The Kingdom Hearts Wiki has a '''[[wikipedia:Discord (software)|Discord]] server''' to socialize with others. It serves as a friendly place for the community to coordinate efforts offsite, and to socialize with other Kingdom Hearts fans!
 
The topic range for the #KHWiki-social channel is very broad. The channel is not restricted to ''Kingdom Hearts'' talk. Discussions can relate to anything from one's favorite character, to a more off-topic subject like how one's day has been. Discussions about the wiki, however, are better suited for #KHWiki-noticeboard, the main IRC channel for this wiki. #KHWiki-noticeboard is only used to discuss official manners, policies, and staff meetings, so please do not act socially in the channel.


==Rules==
==Rules==
#'''Play nice with others''' -  Neither channel will be used to insult others or put people down, between regular users or staff members. If you continue to insult someone or flame the channel with nonsense, you will be banned. If any user expresses that you are annoying them with an action, message, or joke, you are to respect their wishes and stop.
#'''Be kind''' -  Please be nice to everyone. If someone is being disruptive, rude, or unfair, report them to the staff.
#'''Caution: spoilers are expected''' - We will try our best to prevent any users from spoiling the events of future Kingdom Hearts games, but be warned that not all users will be able to be stopped fast enough to prevent you from remaining "unspoiled." You can ignore a user's messages through the ignore command (-----  /ignore nick), and clear all messages from your screen by using the clear command (/clear).
#'''Don't engage in offensive behavior''' - This means don't attack anyone for any reason. Attacks based on religion, political affiliation, gender, age, race, or sexual orientation are strictly prohibited.
#'''The IRC uses the wiki's native tongue''' - <u>Please use proper English</u>. 133t Sp33k is not something we want to read. Abbrevations such as "YGOTAS", "KH", and "FFWiki" are acceptable, but please try to stay within reason. Repeated use of "text talk", such as "idk", "omg", "bff", and etc. just gets annoying, and the community tends to dislike it.
#'''Keep it clean''' - No NSFW content. This includes pornography, sexual innuendos, and violent or gruesome speech.
#'''Be yourself''' - Do not abuse the /nick function to rapidly change your nick. While it is considered acceptable to change your nick temporarily for a short period of time once the community has identified you, it is not okay to change your nick several times in a short period of time. In addition, sockpuppets will not be tolerated. If you are a suspected sockpuppet, you will be banned. Don't think we're stupid, we've dealt with plenty of socks and flamers; we will identify you, confront you, and ban you. It is preferred that you use your Kingdom Hearts Wiki user name on the IRC, but this is not mandatory. There is a 16 character limit for user names.
#'''No spam''' - Please limit the number of links and images you post. We love seeing what you like, but if your links begin to flood the channel, you're spamming it.
#'''The IRC channel is not to be abused for role-play''' - We are aware that we have many users who are part of the channel's regular community who can be very comedic, but do not abuse the me command (/me) to role-play across entire screens of attacks, actions, and waves. Abusing this command will be counted as spamming the channel, and will get you kicked or banned from the channel.
#'''No leaks''' - Leaks from unreleased games are strictly prohibited. Do not share leaks or unofficially released images. Also, do not promote piracy.
#'''Do not spam the channel''' - Nobody wants their chat window to be filled with repeated lines of the same message. Spam is not fun for us to deal with or for anyone to read, nor is it funny. Spamming the channel with any material will get you kicked or banned.
#'''Keep the conversation on the appropriate channels''' - Keep the discussion on the same topic for each channel. Especially keep unreleased or newly released game discussions in #traverse-town-square. This channel can be viewed by typing '''*rank spoiled''' in the #bot-shack channel! It's also encouraged to hide your message with spoiler tags by surrounding your text with ||.
#'''Watch what you post''' - More often than not, users will share content to provide entertainment to others, however sometimes such content goes beyond the norm of our website, in which case you should add a tag with what you're posting, because nobody wants to see something unpleasant. You may not hide or otherwise make the tag hard to read with control codes. A certain form of social etiquette is required.
#'''Have fun!'''

==Joining==
==Channels==
You can either use a web gateway in your web browser or install a specialized chat program called an IRC client. These are available for a variety of platforms.
Here's some info on how our server is set up, and the various channels.


===Web gateway===
===First District===
*[http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#KHWiki-noticeboard freenode webchat] ([http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=KHWiki-social here] for the social channel instead), a qwebirc gateway, is a convenient web client that lets you join our channel from a normal web page. Simply type in your nickname and ensure that "#KHWiki-social" or "#KHWiki-noticeboard" is in the channel box. If you wish to identify to NickServ at this point, tick the 'Auth to services' box and enter your NickServ username and password.
This is where you start! All the information you need to get around is right here!

==Setup instructions==
===Fourth District===
Before connecting, you need to configure your client. Instructions on how to do this can usually be found on the client's website. After you have done this, joining our channel on freenode is rather straightforward. The parameters are:

*<nowiki>#</nowiki>netwixt-and-be-stream: Notify everyone when you're streaming!
*<nowiki>#</nowiki>bot-shack: Play with our bots here.


*Server: '''chat.freenode.net'''
==Staff==
*Channel: '''#KHWiki-social''' or '''#KHWiki-noticeboard''' (note the correct spelling)
The following is a list of channel operators for #KHWiki-social and #KHWiki-noticeboard IRC channels. Channel OPs have ability to kick, ban and quiet other users in order to maintain the channel.


Many IRC clients have "freenode" in the default network list; you only need to select it. After you are connected to the network, type '''/join #KHWiki-social''' or '''/join #KHWiki-noticeboard''' in the input box and press Enter.

==UTF-8==
===KHWiki/KHUX Wiki staff===
The #KHWiki-social and #KHWiki-noticeboard channels use {{w|UTF-8}} encoding, just like the Wiki proper. This should not pose a problem with English, as UTF-8 is backwards compatible with ASCII-127, but non-Latin scripts (such as Greek, Cyrillic or Chinese and Japanese characters) may be rendered improperly in UTF-8-incapable clients. Most of the IRC clients mentioned above support UTF-8 encoding in their most recent releases; however, be aware that some may not have UTF-8 encoding set as default.

==Common commands==
|[[File:Foreteller Ira's Keyblade KHX.png|100px|center]]
All commands must be prefixed with a forward slash (/).
|[[File:Foreteller Gula's Keyblade KHX.png|100px|center]]
*'''/nick new-nick-here''': changes your nickname. As Rule #4 states, this is not to be abused.
|[[File:Foreteller Ava's Keyblade KHX.png|100px|center]]
*'''/me action-here''': Makes the "<" and ">" disappear from your next message to portray an action. For example, "/me defeats Roxas" becomes "*[Nick] defeats Roxas". As Rule #5 states, this is not to be abused.
|[[File:Master's Defender KHUX.png|100px|center]]
*'''/query nick-here message-here''': sends a private message to the specified nick. Starts a "PM", also known as a "Query".
|[[File:Diamond Dust (Upgrade 4) KHX.png|100px|center]]
*'''/ignore nick-here''': ignores any message the specified nick sends.  This is a client-side function and will not work on the web gateway.
|[[File:Bad Guy Breaker (Upgrade 4) KHX.png|100px|center]]
*'''/join #channel-here''': join another channel. Only works with other channels on the current network.
|[[File:Foreteller Invi's Keyblade KHX.png|100px|center]]
*'''/quit message-here''': quits IRC and leaves a message.
|[[File:Counterpoint (Upgrade 4) KHX.png|100px|center]]
*'''/part #channel-here message-here''': leaves only the current channel.
|-
*'''/clear''': clears the current log. Useful if your chat window begins to lag.
![[User talk:DChiuch|DChiuch]]
*'''/ns ghost username yourpassword''': "ghosts" or logs off a nick. Useful when you suddenly get logged off and see your old nick online when you log back on. You need to register your nick before you can use this command. See below for instructions on how to register.
![[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]]
*'''/ns regain username yourpassword''': Has the same effect as ghost, but automatically renames you to the ghosted nickname.
![[User:NinjaSheik|NinjaSheik]]
 
![[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]]
This list is by no means exhaustive. Further information can be found by typing /help or on [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/faq.html IRChelp.org].

![[User:TheSilentHero|TheSilentHero]]
==Registering==
![[User:Troisnyxetienne|Troisnyx]]
:''See [http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration this page] on the freenode website for full details on nick registration.''
![[User:Xion4ever|Xion4ever]]
 
|}
Registering can be done by inputting <pre>/msg nickserv register <password> <email></pre>
*'''Do not include the <>'''.
*Replace <email> with your address, and <password> with the password you would like to use for the account. This will register '''your current nick'''.  
*You will receive an email from freenode. Open it, and follow the instructions. If you do not verify the account in this way, it will be automatically dropped after 24 hours.
*To identify when using your registered nick, enter <pre>/msg nickserv identify <password></pre> To identify from another nick, use <pre>/msg nickserv identify <registered-nick> <password></pre> You will be notified if anyone has attempted to identify to your nick. Although nicks registered on freenode do not automatically expire, they will be eligible to be dropped by a network staffer once they have been unused for ten weeks plus one additional week for each full year of registration.
*You may group multiple nicks to your NickServ account. To do this, enter <pre>/msg nickserv group</pre> when using the nick that you would like to group to your account. You must be identified to your NickServ account to use this command. '''Do not collect excessive numbers of nicks'''.
 
Nick registration has the following benefits:
*Allows you to retain ownership of your preferred nick.
*Makes it more difficult for other users to impersonate you.
*Allows for easy identification by other users and operators.
*Allows you to forcibly disconnect ghosts and other users using your nick.<br>This can be done by inputting <pre>/msg nickserv ghost <user> <password></pre>
 
If you are using a client rather than a web gateway, it is recommended that you set up your client to automatically identify to NickServ to ensure that you are always signed into your account when you are connected to freenode. Instructions on how to do this can usually be found on the IRC client's website.
 
 
==Roundtable==
{{Main|KHWiki:Roundtable}}
The '''Roundtable''' is a monthly series of wiki meetings to discuss the current affairs of the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. The next one is: '''May 1<sup>st</sup>, 2015, 7:00pm Wiki Time (UTC 0)'''.
