Discord is a freemium and proprietary chat room program available for web browsers, Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. A Discord server contains both text and voice channels used for discussions and to share other forms of media between the members of that server. Discord is similar to WP:IRC in that it provides live chat capabilities with other Wikipedians.

In 2016, an unofficial Wikimedia Discord server was founded for Wikipedians who already used the platform. This Discord server is moderated by several English Wikipedia administrators. Conduct is expected to follow the guidelines below. Accounts must have a verified email to chat on the server. Optionally, editors may link Discord to their Wikipedia account, enabling users to view their Wikipedia username. Channels exist for specific purposes, such as individual WikiProjects, and for more broad areas, like the English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.

The server can be reached through an invite link by clicking the Join Server button below. The link may at times be disabled:
