Forum:New feature - chat

I've activated Wikia's new chat feature on this wiki - I hope people don't mind. For more information on the feature, please see wikia:community:User blog:Ohmyn0/Chat is Now in Wikia Labs and Help:Chat.

I'd like to encourage admins especially to use the chat as frequently as possible as it could provide a good way for users to report vandals etc. The feature is going to be active for a trial period of two weeks - we'll then have a vote where the community can decide whether to keep it or turn it off again.

Please post your feedback regarding having the feature active on this wiki here. If you have feedback regarding the feature in general, improvement suggestions or bug reports, please direct them to Special:WikiaLabs (click on the "give feedback" button to the right of the "Chat" section). -- Porter21 (talk) 07:07, July 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * This feature is the only thing I wanted since I began actively editing, and now that it's here, it's a grand addition to the site. It'll show who's online at the time, allowing users to get access to admins faster in case of vandalism. And now we can use private chat as well, allowing users to message each other back and forth without having to waste talk page room. Kastera (talk) 07:22, July 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Is there any way to keep your IP address hidden while you're logging in there? UserGreatMara.png pistol.png 07:23, July 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not quite sure what you mean, sorry. -- Porter21 (talk) 07:44, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

New gadget: ChatAutoJoin
I've added a new gadget which automatically opens a window with Special:Chat when you visit the wiki. It only opens that window once per browser session. If there are any issues, please leave a message in the Gadgets thread. -- Porter21 (talk) 16:50, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
