Help:Chat

Chat hacks and extensions are local chat features. For global chat help, see below.

AFK
After a certain period of inactivity, an away tag will appear next to one's name on the side rail. The tag can be toggled manually by pressing the AFK button.

Clear
This button will clear the chat window of any messages.

Group PM
Group PM lets you chat with more that one user privately. The header in the chat window and the names on the right rail may not show up properly when you use this feature, but please note that it does work. When entering usernames, enter the them exactly.

Multi-kick
Multi-kick allows lab operators (chat moderators) to kick multiple users at once. Users who aren't lab operators will get a permission error when they try to use this.

ChatTags
ChatTags allow users to format text. See MediaWiki:Chat.js/ChatTags.js for a list of ChatTags.
