The server is only open to members.  It rejects connections from those who can't authenticate with a valid FeministWiki username and password.  The hostname is '''irc.feministwiki.org''' and only encrypted connections are accepted, on port 6697.  To establish a connection, configure your IRC client so that your IRC nick is your FeministWiki username, and make your client use the rudimentary <code>PASS</code> authentication method with your FeministWiki password.  (In most IRC clients this will simply correspond to a "password" text field that you fill out while configuring the connection.)

''Interface: [https://add-member.feministwiki.org/ Add a member]''
Every member of the FeministWiki can add further members.  Currently the above-linked basic web interface is the way to do so.  Simply fill out your own FeministWiki username and password, and then enter a username for the member you want to add.  After you click the "Add member" button, the page will show some text saying that the operation was successful and show you an auto-generated password.  Send the username and auto-generated password to the new member and inform them that they can change their password after logging in.
