Discord is a free-to-use text and voice chatting service which allows users to join servers dedicated to specific subjects for discussion. It was intended specifically to cater to video-gaming and can operate either through a web browser or a standalone app for desktop or mobile. Users are capable of joining servers when given an invite, which can take the form of a permanent or temporary link. Once joined, users can be given various levels of permission over the server's functions through roles that the server owner (or other trusted members) can define. Servers consist of channels, which can either be text or voice-based. Text channels also allow users to share images, video, and other files. In addition, weblinks, bots, emoji, and other customizations can be added to servers for additional functionality. Aside from servers, users can also maintain a friends list and chat privately with them, or with other members of a server they share in common.
WiKirby Discord
WiKirby has an active Discord server, which can be joined by following this link. A Discord user account is required to join the server. Before joining, please make sure that you have read and understood Discord's terms of service. They can be found here. By creating a Discord account, you acknowledge these terms of service, which are separate from WiKirby's; we cannot take any responsibility for anything that happens outside of our server.
Also known as "Shiver Star", the WiKirby Discord was originally founded by Fubaka. It was initially an independent Discord server until the agreement was made to attach it to WiKirby in June of 2017. In December 2018, ownership changed hands to FalcoLau who held it until February 2019, when ownership was returned to Fubaka. Ownership was later given to YoshiFlutterJump in March 2020 following his promotion to Editor-in-Chief. After his retirement, ownership transferred to Gigi.
Roles
The WiKirby Discord has the following roles associated with it, in ascending order of priority. Users may have multiple roles, but the higher priority one takes precedent in the color of the user's name:
- Everyone - All users have this role by default, and no color is assigned to it. These users are free to use text and voice messaging, upload images, and change their nicknames. They cannot post messages in the channels under the "Important" category, or in other utility channels such as "wikirby-rc".
- Editors - These users are displayed in indigo, and are automatically conferred to any member who has an account on WiKirby or who appoints oneself that rank using the "bot-commands" channel. Having this role grants access to the "Wiki" category.
- Autopatrol - This rank is automatically bestowed to autopatrollers on WiKirby. These users have the same rights as Editors, but are distinguished by their green usernames.
- Friends - Trusted Discord users who may or may not be active on the wiki. They have yellow names and have the same permissions as Editors, but they can also kick or mute other users when no higher role is around to deal with a situation.
- Wiki Support - These users have limited Administrator status, having access to staff-only channels and the message log, but are primarily responsible for the upkeep of the wiki. They can be contacted to deal with server-side issues on WiKirby. These users have red names.
- Patrollers - This rank is automatically bestowed to patrollers on WiKirby. Like Wiki Support users, they have access to staff chat and the message log, but otherwise have no additional rights. These users are distinguished by their magenta usernames.
- Moderators - This rank is automatically bestowed to moderators on WiKirby. On the Discord, their permissions are identical to those of patrollers. These users are distinguished by their orange usernames.
- Administrators - This rank is automatically bestowed to administrators on WiKirby. Called "admins" for short; these users have all-but full control over the server, and can modify most aspects of it. They can also ban and unban users. These users have cyan names.
- Bureaucrat - This rank is automatically bestowed to any bureaucrats on WiKirby, and indicates current or past owners of the server. They hold total control of the server and can modify aspects that administrators cannot. Bureaucrats have the same indicators as administrators, but are distinguished by their pink usernames. Gigi, YoshiFlutterJump, and Samwell hold this rank.
Other more minor roles exist, but these are either for utility purposes or light-hearted fun.

Rules
The WiKirby Discord operates under the following basic rules of conduct:
- Swearing excessively or directed at other people is not allowed. Moreover, slurs of any kind are not allowed at all.
- Do not post anything NSFW
- Be respectful toward other members
- Do not spam or repeatedly post in the wrong channel
- If an Admin tells you to do something, do it
- If you have any issues with admins, please PM Gigi about it
- Do not ask to be given Admin status or any other staff role, unless you have said role on WiKirby.
- Please keep discussion of politics and other sensitive issues to a minimum
- If you wish to post a Discord server link here, please get an admin's permission first
While enforcement of rules is strict, punishment will not be dealt unless rules are broken repeatedly or egregiously. Punishment usually means a kick or ban of a predetermined length of time, and appeals can be made if this happens.
