[Christopher Meng]

Hi everyone.I'm start replacing every IRC channel link with a template
called fpchat.It was created by Paul W. Frields.Today I did some small
changes to this template and now it can be displayed in a beautiful
way(https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AFpchat&act...
I hope every translator can do the same changes to their translated
page.

Thanks.

Hi Christopher,

I'm glad you found this template useful.  However, as you use it to
replace IRC channel references in wiki pages, please make sure that
you also edit to remove redundant references to Freenode.  In other
words, if the original source reads:

  Come to IRC Freenode and visit us on #fedora-websites

You should be editing to replace this with:

  Come visit us on {{fpchat|#fedora-websites}}

This will replace the text to read:

  Come visit us on IRC Freenode #fedora-websites

The reason I did not use "IRC Freenode" in the original template text
is that I can't know which pages would have this redundant text, and
which would not.  However, I *can* assume that wherever
"#channel-name" appears, it will be OK to make that text link to the
appropriate webchat.freenode.net URL.

Changing any template has effects on a large number of pages, so if
you are changing the template, you need to be prepared to either make
fixes on all the pages that use it, or make very small changes that
are unlikely to affect the pages negatively.  Thanks for contributing.

Thanks, Paul. I will manually replace all error syntax asap. By the way,
should we change this template to irc://xxx or just keep ？

We can't depend on people having an irc:// handler package on any
random platform on which they're reading the wiki page.  But the web
URL will work fine everywhere.
