I'm from the Skulduggery Pleasant Wiki, and i was wonder how you set up an IRC channel for a wiki. could you help us out? King birdy 21:47, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Most of the wikis have channels on Freenode, "creating" a channel on there is pretty easy, once you get on the server just type "/join #wikia-skulduggery" and you're in a new channel (unless someone else did it first). Then you can register it with ChanServ to preserve your ownership, use "/msg chanserv help" for help once you get in. Hope that helps. --Pcj (T•C) 22:25, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

well I was able to set up the channel, but now it says I'm not logged in when try and register it. King birdy 22:41, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, you have to register your personal nickname with NickServ first, type "/msg nickserv help register" for help. Then to "log in" each time you come on the server, you'll need to type "/msg nickserv identify <password>". --Pcj (T•C) 22:40, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

It worked! thank you very much! King birdy 22:46, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
