ZodiacalComet Is the "why is X user an app" a good addition to /discuss#FAQ ? The /discuss#Why_do_some_people_have_brackets kinda implies that bridged messages are distinct, but seems more directed to IRC users since it doesn't address those being from a bot/app in other services (eg. Discord)
#
[capjamesg] That sounds like a good piece of information to add!
#
[capjamesg] If multiple people in chat ask the same thing and there isn’t something on the wiki already, it’s worth adding the relevant information!
#
ZodiacalComet Kay', I'll try to draft something
#
ZodiacalComet Oh, it is mentioned in the "Differences between chat services" section, though it is a small blob in the third paragraph.

#
ZodiacalComet Is there a reason why some questions don't end with a question mark? Or is it just a difference that happened on each addition?
#
[capjamesg] I think it is a style thing; most of the other FAQs don’t have question marks.
#
[capjamesg] I also wonder whether having a question mark makes it harder to link to the fragment for the heading? But I don’t know that for sure.

#
ZodiacalComet That one also passed through my mind, I'll make a change to keep them consistent at the very least. Though the "Is anyone around?" seems weird without me imo
#
ZodiacalComet *weird without it, imo
