[Edit
Wikimedia IRC has been migrated from freenode to Libera.Chat. For more information, please see
IRC/Migrating to Libera Chat
. References to freenode on this page and others may be out of date.
This external system is not subject to the
WMF Privacy Policy
For real-time chat with other
Wikimedians
, there are several
Internet Relay Chat
(IRC)
channels
on the Libera Chat network.
#wikipedia-en
is the main forum (
see here for other channels
); these are the responsibility of, and controlled by, the
Group Contacts
Channels located on the Freenode network will not be maintained by the IRC Group Contacts.
The
recent changes
channels are now located on the Wikimedia IRC network (
irc.wikimedia.org:6667
). A channel exists for each public Wikimedia wiki which has been changed since the last time the server was restarted. In general, the name is just the domain name with the .org left off. For example, the changes on the English Wikipedia are available at
#en.wikipedia
. However, some wikis which are not Wikipedias have the
.wikipedia
suffix (e.g.
#mediawiki.wikipedia
for
MediaWiki.org
). See
IRC/Channels#Raw feeds
for details.
irc.wikimedia.org is deprecated in favor of
EventStreams
If you're new to IRC see the
IRC instructions
for help.

Nicknames
On
IRC/Nicks
you'll find a list of people whose nickname on IRC is different from their Wikimedia username.
Many IRC clients allow automated login upon connection. Usually, this is done by entering the username and password (or just password) as the "server password" in the client's settings. Some clients must be closed and restarted to recognize a server password or change of one; just disconnect/reconnect alone won't do it.
Hostmask cloaks
IRC hostmask cloaks allow you replace the default user cloak with something like
wikimedia/JamesF
. Cloaks allow you to show off your pride as a Wikipedia editor, and prove that you are the same person on Wikipedia. For more information and instructions on how to obtain a cloak, see
IRC cloaks
