Wikitroid's IRC (internet relay chat) channel is #wikia-metroid, hosted by Freenode. It was founded by FastLizard4 on January 3, 2008. Feel free to join and chat!

= Channel Rules = 'Yes, we have rules, and we expect all users, regardless of access level, to obey all of them [gasp!]''. If you do not, you will be warned twice on the IRC channel, at which point you will be silenced, banned, or kick-banned for differing amounts of time depending on the severity of the offense, these times are listed below.''' 'Yes, we have rules, and we expect all users, regardless of access level, to obey all of them [gasp!]''. If you do not, you will be warned twice on the IRC channel, at which point you will be silenced, banned, or kick-banned for differing amounts of time depending on the severity of the offense, these times are listed below.'''
 * 1) Do not purposely annoy other users. This includes, but is not limited to, all racist remarks and all remarks degrading someone due to their beliefs or degrading any belief or religion.  NOTE: Racist remarks may cause a permanent ban from the channel regardless of a warning.
 * 2) Do not impersonate people. See CSW:CELEBRITY.
 * 3) Operators: Do not abuse your rights and only op yourself when necessary, as in to ban someone, and immediately deop yourself following the operator actions.
 * 4) Operators: Joke-kicking, the act of kicking someone from the channel as a joke (usually with a funny message) is allowed, however, do not joke-kick a person more than once, only do it to people whom you believe will take it well, do not kick people who are marked as "away", "busy" or the like, and absolutely no joke-banning . Joke banning may result in deopping of yourself.
 * 5) No major or prolonged use of profanity. Minor profanity words may be used in terms of frustration, instead of a personal offense. If used in a personal offense, the offender will be kicked regardless of a warning and probably banned, considering the damage of the offense.
 * 6) No references to sexual topics - really, not many people like this, you will probably only be silenced for this
 * 7) No spamming or flooding of the channel - Spam is annoying. Something will be considered spam if it is repeated several times. Flooding is the act of typing stuff in repetitively and "flooding out" other users.  Both actions will trigger an immediate silence or ban, depending on the severity and/or number of offenses.
 * 8) No abusive actions - Bullying or abusive actions will not be tolerated on the channel.

And now, to lighten up the spirit of the page, the good side of the channel = Channel Information =

Operators (or Ops)
Ops are people who can ban and kick users, as well as many other things. Op is short for "Operator", and they operate the channel. There are two types of ops: command and access. Command ops generally have an access level of 10, they can change the topic, ban users, and other basic actions. Access ops have an access level of 30 or higher, and can, in addition to what command ops can do, can promote other people to autovoice, command voice, command op, or access op. Any administrator, with a registered nick on irc.freenoce.net, can become a command op; any bureaucrat can become an access op, however, they are not made so by default. If you would like to become an op, please let an access op know (you can see them in the list below) so they can promote you.

Voiced users
Voiced users are the wiki administrators and bureaucrats. There are two types of voiced users: autovoice and command voice. All administrators, when they supply a valid registered nick to an access op, will automatically become autovoiced, with an access level of 2. The only difference between regular users and autovoice users are that they automatically are given "voice" status upon login, placing a special symbol or icon next to their nick in the username list. All bureaucrats, when they supply a valid registered IRC nick to an access op, are automatically given command voice status, with an access level of 8. They are the same as autovoiced users except that they can assign temporary voice status through chanserv, however, not autovoice, which requires the changing of an access level, something only an access op can do.

List of users

 * Notice: Everyone in the lists below can unban themselves if they are accidentally banned, use  to unban yourself.

List of Ops

List of Voiced Users

Access levels and what you can do with them
'''Now, for some fun, if your access level matches or is higher then the one that is listed for a function below, you can execute that function. Note that this list was updated at 22:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC) and may be out of date, use  in your IRC client to verify.

Index Level Type     Description 2    2     AUTOVOICE Automatic voice 3    8     CMDVOICE  Use of command VOICE 4    30    ACCESS    Allow ACCESS modification 5    2     CMDINVITE Use of command INVITE 7    10    CMDOP     Use of command OP	8     2     CMDUNBAN  Use of command UNBAN 9    15    AUTOKICK  Allow AKICK modification 10   48    CMDCLEAR  Use of command CLEAR 11   48    SET       Modify channel SETs 14   10    TOPIC     Change the channel topic *NOTE: You must op to change the topic 15   49    LEVEL     Use of command LEVEL

Channel Mode Flags
FastLizard4 has locked the mode flags on the channel to, a description of these flags can be found here. This means that no one, if their access rank is under 49, can set the flags s, m, c, r, J, R, k, or f, or remove the flags t, n, g, or z. However, access ops or higher can, if necessary, set the flag +i in case of bot attacks against the channel; this restricts access to the channel to invitation-only, but use this flag responsibly and only as necessary, failure to comply may get you de-opped or banned. If your access rank is 49, you must set the restricted flags using the  command.

Autokick Users
Users listed below will automatically be kicked from the channel when they log on. It is the AUTOKICK command listed above. Currently, you must be an access op with a special access level of at least 15 to make changes to the autokick list.
 * 1) *!n=esterase@*.hsd1.mi.comcast.net (nickname that caused ban: Axeman) - Reason: Flooding among other things, you are also autobanned on #wikipedia-en-help
 * 2) *!n=Ebless@125.209.94.* (nickname that caused ban: Drunken_Idiot) - Reason: Being a dick to other people

Important note regarding nickname registration
'''Note: It is recommended that you register your nickname (required for admins and ops) with NickServ so an op can assign privileges to you and for you to use the privileges. If you don't have or expect these privileges, it is good to register so no one steals your nickname. For more information, type  into your IRC client.'''

IRC Channel quotes
If you find an interesting quote from the IRC channel, place it below, just remove the datestamps, and use a * before the line and italicize the line to indicate the /me command and separate separate quotes using (four dashes). If you would like to give a description of the quote, do so at the beginning in bold.

None so far, but something interesting is bound to pop up, somehow...
