TemplateData for User IRC

A userbox to indicate that a user chats on IRC.

Template parameters

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Nickname	nick	Your IRC nickname.	String	optional
Category Disabled	nocat	This page will not be added to the category "Wikipedians who use IRC" if this parameter is set to "true" (without the quotation marks). Default false	String	optional

Categorization

This template automatically categorizes user pages where it is transcluded into Category:Wikipedians who use IRC.

• User pages will not be categorized if the |nocat=yes parameter is used.

To add yourself to Category:Wikipedians who use IRC without using the userbox, add this to your user page:

[[Category:Wikipedians who use IRC|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]

Note: In keeping with the userboxes and user categories guidelines, and to avoid category pollution, this template employs <includeonly> tags and conditional code to avoid automatically including any page other than a user page into the user category. This template will only categorize user pages where it is transcluded, and will not categorize pages in any other namespace.
