Template:Help me-IRC

From blackwiki
Revision as of 20:06, 24 February 2019 by imported>ToBeFree (This is one of the few cases where wikilinks or other explanation can be harmful: The user needs a quick, straightforward way to reach the suggested help chat. They don't need education about what IRC is, where it comes from, that it usually requires a local client software etc. etc. -- if that's what they really want to learn about, the disclaimer page provides nice links, but also a big blue button. There is no need to link any other page than Wikipedia:IRC help disclaimer.)

Usage

Use this template if someone leaves a {{Help me}} on their talk page that looks better suited for the English Wikipedia Help channel on IRC.

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
