Forum:Ideas for Chat upgrades

I had an idea for improving the Chat: I am an admin in the Club Penguin Wiki, and i thaught it would be sometimes very helpful if there will be a private chatroom for the administrators of the wiki. Of course it will be mch more helpful in large wikis, but it can help for discussing about improving the wiki, and consider suggestions and ideas, before informing other editors. I saw a place in the community central for posting ideas about the chat, but i forgot where, so i posted this here. Thanks for reading :) Penguin-Pal   (talk)  06:14, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * From a wiki spirit perspective, I'm opposed to almost all "admin-only" chat - especially if it's for ideas "about improving the wiki" - users deserve a voice in that discussion. As much discussion as is possible should be openly on talk pages --  Random Time  08:55, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought Wikia was already working on a private chat feature (although it maybe only between 2 users)? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Dec 2011 12:07 PM Pacific
 * While I agree with RandomTime that a discussion on a wiki should be public, it is possible to set up multi person private chats already by utilizing your browsers built in console.--
 * And you would do that how? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Dec 2011 12:16 PM Pacific
 * mainRoom.openPrivateChat(['Username1', 'Username2'])--
 * And you get to the console for the Chat window how? In Firefox it hides the menus. If you don't want to clearly describe the steps, just say so and I'll stop trying to drag it out of you step-by-step. It isn't that important to me and the method you describe sounds user unfriendly in the extreme. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Dec 2011 1:01 PM Pacific
 * I assumed that when you asked how to do it, you knew how to open the console. The console is opened with Ctrl+Shift+J. Though if you are using FF, I would recommend using the Firebug extension which is a much better console (and can be opened with the firebug icon in the lower right hand corner of the window once downloaded). Once in the console, go to the console tab or the lower portion of Chrome's console and type in that code and hit run, it will open a private chat between you and the users inputted. I have tested it with 3 and 4 people in the room but never above.--


 * Doesn't work for me, but if the number of folks in chat room needs to be low, that's probably why. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Dec 2011 2:49 PM Pacific


 * Okay, Kangaroopower got it to work with me and Meighan. The list of user names in brackets should be the users you want to talk to, not including yourself. I was trying just a 1-to-1 with myself as the first user in the list. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Dec 2011 2:55 PM Pacific
