+title: TPA-RFC-22: Rename TPA IRC channel and Matrix bridge
+---
+
+[[_TOC_]]
+
+Summary: rename `#tpo-admin` to `#tor-admin` and add to the Matrix/IRC bridge.
+
+# Background
+
+It's unclear exactly why, but the IRC channel where TPA people meet
+and offer realtime support for people is called `#tpo-admin`,
+presumably for "torproject.org administrators". All other Tor-related
+channels are named with a `#tor-` prefix (e.g. `#tor`, `#tor-dev`,
+`#tor-project`, etc).
+
+# Proposal
+
+Let's follow the naming convention and rename the channel
+`#tor-admin`. While we're there, add it to the Matrix bridge so people
+can find us there as well.
+
+The old channel will forward to the new one with the magic
+`+f#tor-admin` (Forward) and `+l1` (limit to 1), and have ChanServ
+occupy the old channel. Documentation in the wiki will be updated to
+match, and the new channel settings will be modified to match the old
+one.
+
+# Alternatives considered
+
+Other ideas include:
+
+ * `#tor-sysadmins` - too long, needlessly different from `#tpo-admin`
+ * `#tor-support` - too generic, `#tor` is the support channel
+ * `#tor-tpa` - too obscure?
+ * `#tor-sre` - would love to do SRE, but we're not really there yet
+
+# Approval
+
+TPA.
+
+# Deadline
+
+One week from sending to tpa-team.
+
+# Status
+
+This proposal is currently in the `proposed` state.
+
+# References
+
+At least those pages will need an update:
+
+ * [howto/irc](howto/irc)
+ * [support](support)
+
+... but we'll grep for that pattern everywhere just in case.
