For wizards, there are a few extra capabilities in the channel system. These focus around creating the channels. After the /new you may place options for that channel: chan name /new [admin | wiz | wizard | permanent | nopermanent | goaway ]* The options are: admin - Make the channel an admin channel. This is only usuable by an admin. wiz wizard - Make the channel only usable by wizards. Only wizards may use this option. permanent - Make the channel permanent. This channel will remain, even when the last listener goes away. Mainly, this means that nobody will ever have to do a /new again. This is only usable by an admin. nopermanent goaway - The channel can go away when there are no more listeners. This is only usable by an admin. Even after a channel has been created, you may use /new again to change the options on the channel.
