Disconnecting and reconnecting to a network

Assuming you’re already switched to the relevant IRC network (in irssi or wevs):

/msg *status Disconnect
/msg *status Connect

This comes in very handy when your IRC nickname magically changes and you have no idea wtf happened and you just want to get it back.
