Access
Access with open proxies, web hosts, and/or VPNs are automatically banned, by MirahezeBot, from certain IRC channels. This is because of our nop>Special:MyLanguage/No open proxies policy|open proxies policy. If you would like to request an exemption, please email tech@undefinedmiraheze.org.

Logging
Some channels are logged on wm-bot.wmflabs.org. They are listed above with links to their logs.
 * Note: Using irc>Special:MyLanguage/IRC|IRC without an IRC cloak will display your IP address to those currently in the channel at the time, so you are encouraged to use an IRC client like IRCCloud, which provides you a complimentary cloak upon creating an account
