Is it just me, or does mIRC's scripting feature not belong in an individual article? Certainly the main MIRC page is short enough that it can handle more information about the scripting language. MadEwokHerd 20:09, 23 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I disagree. Wikipedia is not like paper encyclopedias. Adding extra entries does not cause editors to rack their brains trying to figure out how to best organize things so that the encyclopedia appears like a paper encyclopedia should. It also has two benefits :
Programming and scripting language entries can link to mIRC scripting without readers having to wade through extraneous information about the client.
IRC client entries can link to mIRC without readers having to wade through detailed and unnecessary information about scripting.
I basically consider it a good example of the information hiding power of hypertext. People get only the info they're looking for when the click on a link and if they want information about related items, they can click on conveniently provided links. I also prefer concise writing. --Olathe
Hmm, good point. I suppose you're right. --MadEwokHerd 22:53, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)
an/a
I just wanted to point out that "an" or "a" before mIRC depends on how one pronounces it. There are two common pronounciations: "merk" and "em-eye-are-see". The second one would get "an" and the first would get "a". I, personally, don't care which it is, but I thought I'd point it out. --MadEwokHerd 12:10, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Oh, OK. I just use the "merk" pronunciation because it's shorter. I haven't used the other pronunciation for several years and I forgot about it. -- Olathe November 16, 2003
