For the anti-spam team. Ops are Azz and skrshawk. SpamBot is the resident bot, owned by [info]exor674.

SpamBot announces new spam and when the queue has been cleared. The command 'SpamBot: spam' makes SpamBot list the current contents of the queue.


For discussing documentation.


Intensive developer training; often quiet until someone asks a question.


What it says on the can. For the NSFW discussions that sometimes pop up in #dw


Mark, Denise, and Nagios the Annoying Wonder Bot.


For discussing the styles system.




For medical discussion and any of those generally interesting but actually occasionally a little gross discussions that sometimes start up.


A development/support/testing-focused channel without side-chatter.


For games of Acrophobia.


Testing channel for Figment


Testing channel for the hellbot.


For playing Zilch.




Figment has several different features, and will answer to "Figment" or "Fig" interchangeably, as well as "Infobot" and "Bit".


There is a DW-specific infobot in the channel named Figment; the commands to use him are:

infobot, <x> is <y>
This is how you ask Figment to remember a factoid <x>. For example, you might say:
infobot, wiki is
infobot, <x>
This asks Figment to recall a factoid that was previously remembered. You can use this in channel or in PM.
infobot, no, <x> is <y>
infobot, forget <x>
This asks Figment to forget the factoid <x>. This command works only in PM.






Figment, green
This asks Figment to retrieve the stats on the support requests without approved answers.

Figment functions like Anna for a support-bot, for those who are familiar with Anna.

These may be addressed to "Fig" as well.

Figment, tags
This asks Figment to retrieve the bracketed tags in the subjects of support requests.
Figment, stars
This asks Figment to retrieve a list of categories that have reached their defined thresholds.
Figment, be Goat
Figment will give the green count in Goat style.
Figment, points <x>
Figment, stale
Figment will give stats on the requests that have been open longest.
Figment, recent
Figment, recenttags
Figment, kittens
Figment, random
Figment will give a random support request, optionally within a given category.
Figment, search
Figment, stats


These may be addressed to "Fig" as well.

Figment, countdown
Figment, gmt
Figment, is DW up?
Figment, math
Figment, twitter <x>

hEll bot

You can feed items to hell. When an item is fed to hell, hell will most likely spew out random items it has consumed.

feed <x> to hell
/me feeds <x> to hell
(Hell recognises a number of synonyms for "feed". The current list is "feed", "send", "damn", "punt", "toss", "smite", "condemn", "hurl", "throw" and "kick". These can also be used in their equivalent form as part of a /me - for example, "/me damns <x> to hell".)
hell, tally
This tells you how many items hell is currently holding.


There is a separate level of hell for every channel that hell is in, so objects that are fed to it in its testing channel will not re-emerge in #dw, and vice versa.



Bugsy is a bot that notifies the channel when bugs are opened, closed, or receive patches. It will also bring up more information about any bug that you link to in channel.



Nagios is a bot that pages Mark when the site is down. Or up.

Not to be mistaken for _nagios_, who is usually D being Very Silly at Mark's expense.
