IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is used frequently by Team Fortress Wiki editors, moderators and administrators to co-ordinate their wiki efforts. The #tfwiki channel hosted on irc.freenode.net is the channel used most frequently.

Access to the channel is free for all users, and those who are not regularly active on the wiki are encouraged to join the channel to collaborate with others.

The channel

The channel bot has been configured to broadcast items on Special:RecentChanges to all users within the channel. Discussion in the channel is also logged. Logs can be viewed here.

Any decisions made or "agreed to" in the channel should not always be considered definitive. The number of users who contribute to the wiki but do not use the channel is high, and thus the discussion can exclude these contributors. Because of this, discussions that are of interest to everyone should take place on talk pages instead.
