I tried following the instrauctions in the wiki but nothing happens.
I've connected (/connect irc.freenode.net) and joined the channel (/join archlinux) but then when i type a message it says i am unable to send a message to the channel.
I proceed to try the two commands in the wiki but nothing appears to happen:
/msg nickserv help register
/msg nickserv help identify
What do I need to do exactly?

Nickserv should have sent instructions, like so:
4:58pm -- | -nickserv- help register
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): ***** NickServ Help *****
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): Help for REGISTER:
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.):
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): This will register your current nickname with NickServ.
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): This will allow you to assert some form of identity on
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): the network and to be added to access lists. Furthermore,
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): NickServ will warn users using your nick without
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): identifying and allow you to kill ghosts.
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): The password is a case-sensitive password that you make
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): up. Please write down or memorize your password! You
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): will need it later to change settings.
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.):
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): You have to confirm the email address. To do this,
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): follow the instructions in the message sent to the email
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): address.
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.):
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): Syntax: REGISTER <password> <email-address>
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.):
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): Examples:
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): /msg NickServ REGISTER bar foo@bar.com
4:58pm -- | NickServ (NickServ@services.): ***** End of Help *****
The responses from Nickserv won't show up in the #archlinux channel. They'll be in another buffer or tab in your IRC client.

The last step (the email verification) is important but often overlooked.

You are probably using a irc client that doesn't open a new window on /msg, so the responce from nickserv probably ended up on the server buffer instead.
Try using /query instead of /msg.
Also see this and the section that comes after it.
If you still have any trouble, /query MrElendig or any of the other channel ops.

Thanks Mr.ELendig, that indeed was the problem. Do you know how to move to and from among /queries in weechat or irsii?
