(→‎Channels: Update irc:// links to ircs:// and make them point to chat.freenode instead of irc.freenode (which is how it's listed on https://freenode.net/))
(Haven't heard complaints about the new ChatBrainz page, so redirecting now (ChatBrainz page duplicates the same content with some changes))

MusicBrainz uses two IRC channels for real-time chat and discussions. For more information about IRC in general, see the [[Wikipedia:Internet Relay Chat|Wikipedia article]]. If you don't have an [[Wikipedia:Internet_Relay_Chat#Clients|IRC client]] (such as [[Wikipedia::MIRC|mIRC]] or [[Wikipedia:Colloquy_(IRC_client)|Colloquy]]), Freenode provides a [https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=musicbrainz,metabrainz web-based client].

Please note that all users of the IRC channels are expected to follow the [[meb:code-of-conduct|Code of Conduct]].

{{Note|Due to an [https://freenode.net/news/spambot-attack on-going spam attack on the IRC network we use] we temporarily require people to [https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration register on the network] to be able to talk in our channels. Please follow [https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration the guide on how to register] and feel free to [[meb:contact|contact us]] if you're having issues or questions regarding this.}}

==Channels==

Among the regulars in this channel are quite a few of the [[MusicBrainz_Bio|developers]] as well as some of the [[Auto-Editor|auto-editors]] and other active MusicBrainz users. Anything related to MusicBrainz, including [[MusicBrainz_Picard|Picard]] and other [[Products|MusicBrainz products]], is welcome here. References to IRC in MusicBrainz generally refer to this channel. As in many communities, the regulars in the channel have their own [[MusicBrainz Slang|slang]].

== BrainzBot ==

BrainzBot is a bot which logs all conversion in the MetaBrainz IRC channels. You can see all of the chat log archives at https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/. BrainzBot will not log messages that start with "[off]", so feel free to use that if you have some sensitive messages.
