Editing the CWCki can be difficult, it is a collaborative effort that benefits from consistency, clarity, and a shared understanding of best practices. This guide outlines the formatting, tone, and structural standards for contributors to ensure that articles are informative, well-organized, and aligned with community expectations.
 
This is not a forum, a fanfiction archive, or a platform for speculation. The CWCki exists to document verifiable events and individuals connected to Chris and his orbit. Please edit responsibly.
 
==General Principles==
 
* '''Objective Tone''': Maintain a neutral, factual, and mildly witty tone. Avoid sarcasm, personal theories, and unverified claims.
* '''Avoid Memespeak''': This is not Encyclopedia Dramatica. Internet slang, reaction images, and meme language are discouraged.
* '''No Trolling''': The CWCki does not exist to troll Chris or any other individuals. Do not use this site to "out" trolls before their involvement with Chris has concluded.
* '''Keep the Focus on Chris''': Articles should emphasize Chris’s direct interactions or relevance to subjects. Avoid unnecessary biographical detail on minor figures.
 
==Naming Conventions==
* For '''videos''', use the exact YouTube title when possible (e.g. insert name). If the title is ambiguous, excessively long, or reused, use a concise, descriptive title (e.g. insert name).
* For '''people''', use their most commonly recognized alias or full name.
* Follow standard '''Wikipedia naming conventions''' and '''disambiguation''' guidelines where applicable.
 
==Writing About Chris==
 
* Always refer to Chris as Chris throughout the site. Do not use “Chris-chan” since it is overly long unless you are specifically referring to Chris-Chan Sonichu.
* Use he/him pronouns consistently. Although Chris is legally a transgender woman, using male pronouns maintains consistency with the rest of the CWCki and helps prevent confusion.
* Chris’s full legal name is Christine Weston Chandler, but “Chris” is the standard term for consistency and readability.
 
==Writing About Others==
 
* For [[Barbara Chandler]], use “Barb” in most contexts. Her full name is unnecessary.
* For [[Bob Chandler]], refer to him as “Bob.” He may be referred to as The Internet Lumberjack only where relevant.
* For trolls, galpals, or family members, always include:
 
:* Full name and aliases (if known)
 
:* Background and first contact with Chris
 
:* Major involvement (sagas, events, notable quotes)
 
:* Outcome or end of contact (if applicable)
 
 
{{Protip|Do not include private information about non-troll individuals unless it is clearly public and relevant to Chris.}}
 
==Article Structure==
Articles should include the following structure where appropriate:
 
* Lead Section - A concise paragraph answering: Who? What? When? Why? Mention significant identifiers, major events, or contributions to the Chris saga.
 
* Infobox (if available) - Use appropriate templates like Infobox Person or Infobox Video.
 
* Chronological Sections - Divide content into clearly labeled sections (e.g., Early Life, Contact with Chris, Aftermath). Use second-level headers (== Section ==) and add subheadings (=== Subsection ===) where needed.
 
==Video Pages==
For video articles:
 
* Use the original YouTube title when available.
* First paragraph should include:
 
:*Upload date
:*Creator (usually Chris)
:*Summary of video contents
:*Notes on appearance or behavior
 
==Formatting Guidelines==
 
*Capitalization
 
:*Proper nouns (e.g., Sonichu) and first words of sentences must be capitalized.
:*Section titles should use Sentence case (e.g., == Early life ==, not == EARLY LIFE ==).
 
*Spacing:
 
:*Leave one blank line between sections.
 
*Possessives:
 
:*Use Chris’s (not Chris’) per CWCki convention.
 
==Dates and Spelling==
 
*Use British-style date formatting: dd Month yyyy
✅ 4 June 2025<br>
❌ June 4, 2025<br>
❌ 06/04/2025
 
Use American English spelling (e.g., color, organize, elevator) but provide context for non-American references when needed.
 
==References and Citations==
 
* Use ref/ref tags to cite information.
 
==Use of Files and Media==
 
* Upload only relevant, high-quality images.
* Check for duplicates before uploading.
* Use clear, descriptive filenames.
 
==Categories==
 
* Add appropriate category tags at the ''very bottom'' of the article.
 
:* Each tag should go on its own line (e.g. Insert here).
:* Many templates apply categories automatically; do not duplicate them.
 
==Drafting and Major Edits==
 
* Use your '''User Page''' or '''sandbox''' to draft large overhauls or new pages.
* Discuss controversial changes on the '''Talk page''' before making major edits to long-standing articles.
 
==Final Notes==
 
The CWCki is a very unique documentation project. Respect the effort that goes into keeping it factual, up-to-date, and accessible. Consistency across articles benefits readers. If you're ever unsure how to proceed, consult this guide, look at similar articles, or ask for feedback on the talk page.

Every ounce of it will be shot to the moon unless a convincing case for its preservation is made on its talk page.
