View or change the channel topic — the text displayed in the topic bar at the top of the channel window.
Syntax
/topic [new topic text]
Parameters
new topic text — The new topic to set. If omitted, shows the current topic.
How It Works
Running /topic
with no arguments displays the current channel topic and who set it. Providing text sets a new topic that appears in the topic bar at the top of the channel for all members to see. The topic bar is always visible, making it a good place for channel rules, links, or the current discussion subject.
Rules & Limits
- If the channel has +t mode (topic lock), only operators and owners can change the topic
- Without +t, any channel member can change the topic
- Must be in a channel to use this command
