Tip: To get this fixed sooner, use {{Proposal}}.
ZNC can be configured in three ways:
- Through a web interface
- Via IRC commands
- Via the XML configuration file (discouraged by the ZNC docs; we probably shouldn't cover this)
There are three ways of arranging these:
- A different section dedicated to each
- Useful for readers who only care about one method (probably everyone?)
- A different subpage dedicated to each
- Keeps the main article tidy (the web interface configuration will have lots of screenshots)
- An extra hoop for readers to jump through
- Not conventional
- One section ("Configuration"), but each option is explained for all methods
- I can't think of any advantages this provides
Any suggestions?

Caveats that should be covered
- No intuitive way to exclude channels from being buffered or to list query buffers.
- Web UI is at the IRC port, which browsers block by default. A hard-to-remember key in about:config needs to be changed.
- Like most clients, it has issues connecting to irc.gentoo.org over TLS, since irc.gentoo.org redirects to a random libera server (each of which has a different cert). I got around this by always connecting to lithium.libera.chat, but I don't know if it's the closest server.
