Beyblade Wiki:Chat/FAQ


 * Who?
 * You'll find users from this wiki (and possibly other wikis) in the chat, and it is moderated regularly by the moderators listed above.


 * What?
 * Wikia Chat is a simple chat platform that was introduced by Wikia in limited release in April 2011. It was released into a public beta for all wikis to use in late June 2011.


 * Where?
 * Chat may be accessed by searching Special:Chat or clicking the button in the sidebar, or clicking the link in the navigation.


 * When?
 * Any time! There will often be users in chat at all times, but the time of most activity is usually from around 7:30PM UTC to 4:00AM UTC.


 * Why?
 * The chat has been put up as a way of interacting with other users of the site and talking with them in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.


 * Why aren't we talking about the Xiaolin Saga?
 * Whilst we do talk about Xiaolin related things, the chat room isn't limited to just that topic, users may talk about other topics should they choose to.


 * What do the motifs mean?
 * The stars indicate if a user is a chat moderator or admin. Chat moderators have the Nemesis motif next to their name, while the admins have the Dragoon motif. These users have the ability to kick you from the chat should you misbehave.


 * What are the rules?
 * For information on the rules simply go the Chat's rule page and ensure you have read these.


 * How do I become a Chat Moderator?
 * A chat moderator is chosen by the admins and bureaucrats. One cannot simply ask for chat moderator status and expect to be given it, though a request may be taken into account for a later date.


 * I feel left out. What do I do?
 * Talk to a chat moderator/admin, they will be able to help you out and make sure people notice you're there.


 * Someone is annoying/bullying me. What do I do?
 * Contact a chat moderator/admin and they will sort out the situation for you.


 * Chat isn't working?
 * Chat is still in a beta release, so there are still stability issues.


 * I think I've been banned from chat unfairly. How can I discuss?
 * Leave a message on the talk page of the user who banned you. They should be happy to discuss it.


 * What can we talk about?
 * Anything roughly in line with policy, but if people are uncomfortable with what is being discussed, users may be asked to stop discussing it.


 * Someone was harassing me in PM. Can the user be banned?
 * Yes, but only with proof, in the form of a screenshot or possibly a copy-paste of the PM. The former is more reliable, as users can change the words of the other user when copy-pasted for their own benefit. This makes the copy-paste method less reliable.


 * What are these "Chat Hacks" some users talk about?
 * Some users have used Monchoman45's code for chat which enables pings, away button, clear window and commands such as /me, which replaces the inputted /me with * Username. Instructions on how to install are here.


 * Why does no one use the FAQ?
 * Nobody knows...
