Template:Help me-IRC
 | 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! |
Usage
[edit]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.
