This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Mark (talk | contribs) at 04:19, 10 October 2005 (current Freenode naming scheme). It may differ significantly from the current version.

At the request of Freenode all Wikimedia IRC channels will be moving to new names some time in the future, the change will be that a channel previously named #wikipedia-de will be moved to #wikipedia/de, #wikipedia-en-arbcom to #wikipedia/en/arbcom and so on.

But how far in the future? Is there a plan for the name change somewhere? A list of which chans have changed their names?

The reason is that Freenode wishes to reserve names for projects, e.g. the project foo should hold jurisdiction over all #foo/* channels, our current naming scheme does not fit into this format.
