Needed?

Do we need to still maintain this? I don't think anyone at this point uses the regular chat feature, despite it being linked on the main page. Super Mario RPG (talk) 18:13, December 27, 2024 (EST)

I can't confirm if it's still used, but the IRC chatroom has been quite in a steady decline for years, way before Discord even was established (chat is much more close-knit, while the rest would go on the forums for more general chatter; even wiki matters is more likely to wound up in a forum thread). I would be surprised if it's still being used, as people who'd frequently use chat back in the day tend to congregate more frequently in Discord. That being said, it's not my call to remove the link to this, as there are users that consider IRC an important part of MarioWiki, at least historically. It's me, Mario!

Perhaps it could be relegated to the sidebar. Super Mario RPG (talk) 19:17, December 27, 2024 (EST)

Yeah, that can work. I'll do that. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:20, December 27, 2024 (EST)
