The IRC is now working and is ready for use as a second chat. Thanks for giving users a reason to stop coming to the wiki completely and never return. IRC is not needed and it hasn't been needed for an extremely long time, so I don't know why you didn't consult with the wiki community about it, quite a lot of users were clear that they didn't see the point in it and wouldn't use it.
