It would be good to have a single page where people could read, or ctrl+f for keywords from error messages, to get a quick overview of what went wrong, and signposted on to how to fix it.

Examples:

  • "You need to identify via SASL to use this server" (SASLified range bans)
  • "Cannot send to nick/channel" (+q on channel, often non-specific like +q $~a)
  • "Cannot change nickname while banned on channel" (esp when it's actually quieted)
  • "You must log in with services to message this user" (target is +R)

More to add, I'm sure.

Hi @Sanyam17-beep , thanks for having a look. I would suggest you create a new troubleshooting.md file under content_/guides - there are similar files in there you might want to read for examples on formatting.

I'm not assigning this ticket to anyone as I expect it will grow and we complete bullet points in PRs as we go.

Should the help wanted label be removed from this?
