I'm new to IRC, trying to figure out what various
channels are, and get the
hang of it. According to Wikipedia, "
mIRC<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIRC>is the most popular IRC client
on Windows based systems
[ *citation needed*
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources>]."
Is this true?
Hello Aude,
In the Windows world, mIRC is the most used client. It is good enough
for most people.
I have looked over the list of channels,
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_channels #wikimedia seems like the place
to get hold of foundation/metawiki folks, though I see little activity
there.
You can join several channels at the same time, #wikimedia is to talk
about the foundation, #wikipedia-en for the english wikipedia.

And, what do you mean by "!admin"? the
admin channel? or is that some IRC
command?
This just means some people have made it so that when anyone write
"!admin" it will make some noise in their IRC client.
