Creating a guide. Since this is CP specific, I'm assuming this namespace is appropriate
{{Progress}}
Conservapedia now operates an Internet Relay Chat channel, for collaboration and general communication. This is a basic guide on how to use it. Be aware that IRC is less secure and verifiable than talking on Conservapedia itself. Users can be impersonated and conversations can be compromised. Do not discuss sensitive information.
==Starting==
To begin, users can either download IRC software, or use a web client.
===Web client===
Using the web client is the easiest method. Simply go to [https://kiwiirc.com/client?settings=7c7240c62a5d4861a8ad0ba697929f39 KiwiIRC] and enter a username. We suggest that if people have Conservapedia accounts, they use that same account name in the IRC.
===Local client===
If people want more functionality, try downloading an IRC program. A good free option is [https://hexchat.github.io/ HexChat].
Download the program, and install it (unless you choose to use a portable version). In HexChat:
#Enter your preferred username, and two backup names, in case your primary is in use of has not yet been released from your last visit. We suggest that you use your Conservapedia username, if you have one.
#Enter your real name, or a portion of it if desired
#Find AccessIRC in the network list, and click to connect. (If using a program other than HexChat, you may need to add irc.accessIRC.net to the list)
#Once connected, type into the dialog box #conservapedia, and click join.
==Setup==
==Account usage==
==Administration==
