-	~~{{Expand\|~~text~~=page}}~~	+	Just as you are able to surf the web with a few shortcuts and tricks to make things easier, IRC is very similar. This guide will describe most of the basic IRC commands that are commonly used. It may be worthwhile to note all IRC commands can be typed into the commandline of your IRC client (i.e., the text input area -- the area you type to chat), and are prefixed with a forward-slash "/".

-	= ~~Basic IRC Commands =~~	+	{{info\|text=Arguments enclosed in angle brackets (e.g., <nowiki><text></nowiki>) denote that it's required, while those enclosed in square brackets (e.g., [text]) are optional.}}

-	Every client has a text input area, you generally use this area to chat. Not only can you chat in this area but you can also issue IRC commands. All IRC commands are prefixed with a "/" this is what makes a command just that, a command. Knowing that, that means anything not prefixed with "/" is a message. So knowing this we will go ahead describe some of ~~the most basic IRC~~ commands ~~used~~.	+	A full listing of commands supported by DareNET's servers can be found [[Server Commands\|here]].

-	* <txt> denotes required while [~~txt~~] ~~denotes optional~~	+	== [[Server Commands/JOIN\|/JOIN]] ==

-	'''~~Note~~: ~~You can also find a full listing of~~ [~~[Server Commands]] on this [[Server Commands\|page]~~].'''	+	'''Syntax: <code>/JOIN <#channel> [key]</code>'''

-	~~== General IRC Commands ==~~	+	Joins you to the channel you specify.

-	~~These are some general commands that will allow you~~ to ~~list other public channels~~, ~~change your nickname~~ as well ~~as things like joining and parting channels~~.	+	If the channel requires a "key" (password) to join, you can supply that after the channel name as well.

-	~~=== [[Server_Commands~~/JOIN\|JOIN~~]] ===~~	+	Examples:
		+	* /JOIN #darenet
		+	** Joins you to the channel #darenet.
		+	* /JOIN #darenet aPpLeS
		+	** Joins you to the channel #darenet using the key "aPpLeS".

-	~~You can join channels by typing the following command: '''<code>/join <#channel>~~ [~~key]<~~/~~code>'''~~	+	== [[Server Commands/PART\|/PART]] ==

-	~~The above command will make you join~~ #channel.	+	'''Syntax: <code>/PART <#channel> [reason]</code>

-	~~Alternatively, if~~ the channel ~~requires a "key" (password) to join~~ you ~~can supply that as well~~.	+	The PART command will cause you to leave the channel you specify.

-	~~=== [[Server_Commands/PART\|PART]] ===~~	+	If a reason was given, it will be shown in the part message sent to other users in the channel.

-	~~You can part channels by typing the following command~~: ~~'''<code>~~/~~part <~~#channel~~> [reason]<~~/~~code>'''~~	+	Examples:
		+	* /PART #darenet
		+	** Parts you from the channel #darenet.
		+	* /PART #darenet bbl
		+	** Parts you from the channel #darenet with a reason "bbl".

-	~~The above command will make you part #channel with an optional reason appended to your part line.~~	+	== [[Server Commands/LIST\|/LIST]] ==

-	~~=== [[Server_Commands~~/LIST~~\|LIST~~]~~] ===~~	+	''Syntax: <code>/LIST [parameters]</code>'''

-	~~You can see~~ a list of all public channels ~~by typing~~ the ~~'''<code>/~~list</code>'''. Please note that you can only use this command directly when you are authenticated with NickServ if you wanted to use this command unauthenticated please use /dlist instead. You can use this command freely (authenticated or not) if you are using [http://www.darenet.org/~~webchat DareNET WebChat~~]. ~~An alternative to using this command would be to visit [http://www.darenet.org/channels DareNET Channels]~~	+	The LIST command is used to obtain a list of all public channels on the network (the same list shown on the [http://www.darenet.org/channels channel listing page].

-	~~===~~ [[~~Server_Commands~~/~~NICK~~\|~~NICK~~]] ~~===~~	+	The /LIST command also supports several modifiers, which can be used to provide a listing of channels whose name or topic match a specific pattern (or conversely, don't match the pattern), have been active within a specific time frame, etc. For more information on such advance usage, go [[Server Commands/LIST\|here]].

-	~~You can easily change your nick by typing '''<code>~~/~~nick <newnick><~~/~~code~~>~~'''~~	+	Examples:
		+	* /LIST
		+	** Lists all public channels.
		+	* /LIST help
		+	** Lists all public channels whose name matches the pattern help.
		+	* /LIST C>60
		+	** Lists all public channels that have existed longer than one hour (60 minutes).

-	~~So if I wanted to change my nick from NiTeMaRe to NiTe I would type '''<code>~~/~~nick NiTe<~~/~~code>'''.~~	+	== [[Server Commands/NICK\|/NICK]] ==

-	~~Other users would see something like the following~~:	+	''Syntax: <code>/NICK <nickname></code>''

-	~~<pre>NiTeMaRe has changed nick~~ to ~~NiTe</pre>~~	+	The NICK command allows you to easily change your nickname.

-	~~=== [[Server_Commands~~/~~QUIT\|QUIT]]===~~	+	Example:
		+	* /NICK JoeCool
		+	** Changes your nickname to 'JoeCool'.

-	~~You can quit IRC by typing '''<code>/quit~~ [~~reason]<~~/~~code>''' this would make you quit with an optional reason appended to your quit line~~	+	== [[Server Commands/QUIT\|/QUIT]] ==

-	~~===~~ [~~[Server_Commands~~/~~AWAY\|AWAY]] ===~~	+	'''Syntax: <code>/QUIT [reason]</code>'''

-	~~Say I wanted~~ to ~~go out to lunch but I wanted those~~ who ~~messaged or /whois'ed me to be aware~~. ~~I could use the command '''<code>/away [reason]</code>'''~~	+	The QUIT command disconnects you from the network. If a reason is provided, it will be shown to other users who are in a common channel with you.

-	with ~~that following line it will not only display a away line in my whois but it will also automatically tell anyone who messages me that~~ I ~~am away~~.	+	Examples:
		+	* /QUIT
		+	** Disconnects you from the network.
		+	* /QUIT I shall bbl.
		+	** Disconnects you from the network with the reason "I shall bbl."

-	~~<pre>~~/~~away Out to lunch!<~~/~~pre>~~	+	== [[Server Commands/AWAY\|/AWAY]] ==

-	~~So when messaging me someone would see~~:	+	'''Syntax: <code>/AWAY [reason]</code>'''
-	<~~pre~~>~~NiTeMaRe is away: Out to lunch!~~</~~pre~~>	+

-	~~and if someone did~~ a ~~/whois on me they would see:~~	+	The AWAY command, when given with a reason, is used to mark you as being away. If no reason is given, it will mark as no longer being away.
-	~~<pre>~~	+
-	~~NiTeMaRe [bnc@NiTeMaRe~~.~~manager.infrastructure]~~	+	While away, the reason given is shown in WHOIS messages and is sent to users who private message you.
-	~~realname : NiTeMaRe~~	+
-	~~server~~ : *~~.darenet.org [Daring to be different~~!]	+	Examples:
-	away ~~: Out to~~ lunch!	+	* /AWAY going for out lunch!
-	~~account : NiTeMaRe~~	+	** Marks you as being away, with the reason "going out for lunch!"
-	~~End of WHOIS~~	+	* /AWAY
-	</~~pre~~>	+	** Marks you as no longer being away.
