Change your display name in the chat. A confirmation dialog appears before the change takes effect, since changing your nickname starts a new session.
Syntax
/nick <new_nickname>
Parameters
new_nickname — Your desired new nickname.
How It Works
When you run /nick, a confirmation dialog appears asking you to confirm the change. If the target nickname is registered with NickServ, you'll also need to enter the password. Once confirmed, all users in your channels see an announcement that you changed your name.
