User:Sabovia/Chat

Our chat policy governs the use of the chat feature, found on the right hand column, or rail, of most pages.

Overview
The new chat extension allows for live, text-based discussions to occur between people viewing our site. It can be used for quicker communication between editors than traditional forum or talk page discussions can allow.

It is generally meant for social interaction, not serious editing discussions.

No substitute for forums and talk pages
Many users will probably find chatting immediately more sensible than the rather old-fashioned talk and forum pages that we currently use for discussing the running of the wiki. However, the chat extension has a major drawback at the present time. It provides no logs of conversations.
