Template talk:IRC networks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now we need a table for common IRC channels per Network. I'm Starting WikiProjectChat or something like that. Stay tuned Quinobi 18:36, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Contents 1 Are there any requirements to be included here? 2 Ordering 3 Beirut and other new pages 4 AtlantisIRC

[edit] Are there any requirements to be included here?

If there's already an article on a IRC network, is that enough to allow it to be included in this network?

I don't use GamesNET personally, or any other IRC network for that matter, but came over it during some category cleanup. I'll add it here, but it makes no difference for me if it's decided it shouldn't belong here. Delta Tango • Talk 14:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ordering

I changed the ordering of the top list to reflect the networks with user bases over 10k with wiki pages. TunkeyMicket 00:07, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I didn't spot your edit until after I was finished sorting it and rewriting it, but admittedly your edit makes sense. However, it did not in the way it was previously implemented. It'd be useful if it were labeled by more than an HTML comment. MrZaius^talk 00:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Also note that many of the other IRC networks were over 10k users, including a number of regional networks that will shortly be added. Might make more sense to break 'em up by "regional" "general" "open source projects" etc, or just regional & general if it's too hard to label certain networks as one type or the other, like SlashNet.

[edit] Beirut and other new pages

you should add Beirut_IRC which is the largest/unique Middle Eastern network (not including bots or warez).

It was added, but then removed after the page was deleted. Feel free to attempt to recreate the page with clear assertions of notability and reliable sources - Then it'll stick.

On a related note, there's a bunch of pages in that aren't listed here - Do any of them warrant a link from the template? A vast majority of them lack references or a clear case for note, as do several of the pages linked here. A massive cat-wide cleanup seems in order, if anyone's interested in helping.

[edit] AtlantisIRC

I do not think "AtlantisIRC" should be included in a template because the template is not just to link to every IRC network out there, only the ones that have articles. If and/or when there is an article about it, the article should be linked to, not a link to the home page about the network. I have removed it. User:Iambus | talk 04:27, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
