Template:Help me-IRC - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please come to IRC.
By the looks of your question, I think it would be best to have you log on to IRC. IRC stands for "Internet Relay Chat", which allows for real-time text-based communication with other users. This way, in addition to the help I can provide, I can get others on Wikipedia's Live Help to help you, as well. You don't have to download anything to talk to us, just click here! See you there!

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.

For those who ask:

For helpers who answer:

  • {{Help me-nq}} – A message that can be used when a user used the {{Help me}} template but didn't write a question below it.
  • {{Help me-IRC}} – A message that asks the user to come to IRC for more help.
  • {{Help me-working}} – A message that tells the user that their question is being worked on. Also provides IRC information.
  • {{Help me-expired}} – A message that tells the user that their question was answered by a question, but they didn't reply.
  • {{Help me-helped}} – A message telling the user that a helper has answered their question.
  • {{Help me-rdq}} – A message telling the user that their question could be answered by the reference desk.
  • {{Help me-inappropriate}} – A message telling the user that a helper has deemed their question as an inappropriate use for the {{Help me}} template.
  • {{Help me-ns}} – A message that can be used when a user used the {{Help me}} template but is looking for an answer from a specific editor.
