====2022-03 – bye-bye freenode IRC, replacement suggestions==== | |||
For those not yet emerged from hibernation, the off-wiki [[Internet Relay Chat]] (IRC) feature 'freenode IRC' has closed. We therefore need to find a new service provider for our [[WikiIndex: Chatroom]]. One popular [[:Category:Chat|chat]] option appears to be the service provided by [[WikiIndex:Discord|Discord]].[https://Discord.com] Other services are available, though I personally am not proficient with any; therefore, we need to have a community discussion to find a new chat [[:Category:Communication|communication]] service which everyone (or a majority) are content with. | |||
Can we please discuss suggestions, comments, alternatives, pitfalls, etc on our [[WikiIndex talk:Community portal/News#freenode IRC replacement suggestions|community portal talk page]]. Thanks in advance!

It seems we have a few bugs affecting our WikiIndex wiki, so it would be a good idea to consolidate all known bugs in one place. Furthermore, the MediaWiki software that powers our wiki is a little outdated (version 1.24.2), so it would be prudent to consider upgrading not only the core MediaWiki software, but also any requests for any new MediaWiki extensions. Please report your bugs, raise your requests, or contribute to the discussion in the appropriate page listed below. | It seems we have a few bugs affecting our WikiIndex wiki, so it would be a good idea to consolidate all known bugs in one place.
