Enabling both chats on the wiki can AND will split up the users because you will have users who will use wikia, and then users who will use IRC. Now what good does that do to split a community? Because the users who want to chat, but won't create an account on wikia just to use a chat won't register. So they will use the IRC. The registered users who have the time to be arsed will register and chat. You're still missing out on half the community. Disabling the wikia chat and having just the IRC make it so that all users go to ONE place, do NOT have to register and can ALL chat with one another directly and remain anonymous or change their nicks to a nickname of their choice.
