Hello, XDAREx, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a

Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}}
before the question. Again, welcome!
Based on the last three (it doesn't meet any of them yet), the article you've written is subject to instant deletion via WP:PROD, WP:CSD, or WP:AFD. Rather than have that happen, I seriously and supportively suggest that you Move the article into User space
so that it can be developed, and sources added. This is called WP:Userfication. Wikipedia isn't here to WP:PROMO, but to document significant things which have already come to prominence, as documented by discussion in independent reliable sources over a period of time. I support the documentation of IRC clients, but on Wikipedia, the requirements of this encyclopedia come first. You might also consider Wikia.com in the meantime. -- Lexein ( talk) 18:31, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
I see you've copied the article to your Userspace - but when I said "Move", I meant using the "Move" operation in the top nav bar. Any given article must only exist in one place.
WP:Userfication uses Move, not copy/paste, so that the article and its Talk page, and edit history for both, are preserved.
Also, the sources you've added do not yet meet
WP:RS - if you had read
WP:RS or
WP:V, you would have known that forums are not reliable sources. Really.
I recommend you
self-delete the mainspace article by adding {{
db-self}} to the top of
Palaver (IRC client) and continue work on the Userspace version. I wish you both patience and perseverance. It may be many months, or even years before Palaver meets Wikipedia

Alright, well thanks for the information. I never had intentions to explicitly promote this software, I just thought it was useful to put the information out there. Seems I greatly underestimated the amount of rules and restrictions on Wikipedia! I'll look up more stuff and learn a few things before thoughtlessly adding pages.

There are some good recommendations on your talk page. I'd also recommend this primer as a good guide for writing articles.
