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 not 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 ||.
#'''Have fun!'''

The #KHWiki-social and #KHWiki-noticeboard channels use the [[wikipedia:UTF-8|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 or Cyrillic) may be rendered improperly in UTF-8-incapable clients.

All commands must be prefixed with a forward slash (/).
|[[File:Master's Defender KHUX.png|100px|center]]
*'''/nick new-nick-here''': changes your nickname. As Rule #4 states, this is not to be abused.

*'''/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:Bad Guy Breaker (Upgrade 4) KHX.png|100px|center]]
*'''/query nick-here message-here''': sends a private message to the specified nick. Starts a "PM", also known as a "Query".

*'''/ignore nick-here''': ignores any message the specified nick sends. This doesn't work on webclients.
|[[File:Counterpoint (Upgrade 4) KHX.png|100px|center]]
*'''/join #channel-here''': join another channel. Only works with other channels on the current network.
*'''/quit message-here''': quits IRC and leaves a message.
*'''/part #channel-here message-here''': leaves only the current channel.
*'''/clear''': clears the current log. Useful if your chat window begins to lag.
*'''/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.
 
===OP commands===
*'''/topic new-topic-here''': allows the topic to be modified.
*'''/kick nick-here message-here''': kicks the specified nick out of the channel, displaying for them the message specified.
*'''/mode #KHWiki-[extension] +b nick!ident@*''': bans a specific user from using a certain nick, ident, or IP address.
