The URL datatype needs support for IRC adress + channel so we can create this property: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Term#IRC Discussion so far: (Taken from Wikidata Project chat) Does anybody else have an opinion about what the datatype for IRC channels should be? Can we save the whole address or does the channel have to be separate? Will the URL datatype even take channels? See: Wikidata:Property_proposal/Term#IRC -Tobias1984 (talk) 18:04, 3 November 2014 (UTC) IMHO it should be URL. If that currently doesn't take irc:// then can you please open a bug so we can add it? --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 18:34, 3 November 2014 (UTC) A channel is uniquely specified by its server address and name. It's a URL albeit not an http one.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:58, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Is there a depending bug report for adding 'irc' to the configuration? Without a configuration change users won't be able to use the new code.
Ah no please create one.
