StrategyWiki offers live help in the form of '''IRC'''.

==Network and channel rules==
''For the up-to-date master copy of the abxy network rules, please read [http://forums.abxy.org/viewtopic.php?t=26736 this]. The rules below may be slightly modified to better fit StrategyWiki.''
# '''Don't be a jerk.''' If you are nice to others, they'll be nice to you (usually). Flaming or intentionally going out of your way to pick on or harass other members of the site is not tolerated.
# '''Don't spam.''' Posting a bunch of links to a site (or sites), mass-posting something in the same or multiple channels, or repeating the same message over and over all constitute spam. Don't do it.
# '''Don't promote illegal activity.''' This includes, but is not limited to, ROMs, .isos, and other "warez."
# '''Don't link to porn.''' If a user wants to see it, they can easily find it. This is the internet, after all.
# '''Don't feed the trolls.''' The reason they're here is to get a reaction, so not giving them any is a good way to make them leave. Just notify a mod if you see someone trolling and they will take care of the situation.
# '''Don't talk in colour unless you absolutely need to.''' Because everyone can set up their IRC client different ways, certain colours may be practically invisible for them.
# '''Don't impersonate others.''' Pick a nickname that corresponds to your account on the wiki.
# '''Don't advertise other channels.''' Saying something like "Everyone, join #blah" is considered advertising. Redirecting a user to a channel about the specific topic they wish to talk about is not.
# '''Avoid shorthand.''' It takes at most 5 seconds more to fully type out a word instead of using shorthand. Shorthand is ugly and hard to read, and makes you look like an immature 12-year-old. As such, try to avoid it whenever possible.
# '''Read the channel topic.''' The channel topic is displayed for you the moment you enter a channel, but you may view it at any time by typing "/topic". The channel topic generally explains things specific to that channel, such as what is and is not acceptable to talk about.
# '''Do not private message people without their consent.''' It is not only annoying, but can get you banned from the entire ABXY network if it becomes an issue.

Joining StrategyWiki's IRC channels are fairly easy. Simply connect to the network irc://irc.abxy.org and [[#Using the network|join]] either ''#strategywiki'' for live support with StrategyWiki-related questions, or ''#abxy'' for gaming chat and socialization. If you do not have an IRC client, you may use [[Special:Mibbit|the web client]] (will automatically join ''#strategywiki'' for you).

Once you have connected, join either ''#strategywiki'' or ''#abxy'' by typing <tt>/join #strategywiki</tt> or <tt>/join #abxy</tt>, respectively. There are many other channels that you may join as well, but those two are the main ones. As stated above, ''#strategywiki'' is for help with StrategyWiki-related things, and ''#abxy'' is for gaming chat and socialization. Once you have joined the channel, simply type something in the input box and hit your Enter or Return key to say it. Everyone currently in that channel will be able to see what you have typed.
