sortable table?

perhaps we should make this into a sortable table format, so that users can sort by saga, et cetera. i like the current formatting, though, as it's probably a bit easier to read than a table, so maybe the table should go on a new page called Table of Captain's Logs or something --cogsdev/vedsgoc 07:51, 13 October 2009 (CEST)

• until we can find a good way to sort the icons, we can't really do it as a table. i'll look into this --cogsdev/vedsgoc 08:18, 13 October 2009 (CEST)
  • Undid the table until we can find a way to make it sortable. --Ed Kelly 08:21, 13 October 2009 (CEST)
    • i'm a fukkin genius give me props yo Clydec 08:38, 13 October 2009 (CEST)
      • What happens when the video has more than one subject/style/saga icon? --Ed Kelly
      • Actually, I prefer the list style because it's easier to read, but since I'm a newfag I'll let you guys decide what's best.--Ed Kelly 08:55, 13 October 2009 (CEST)
      • Also, yyyy/mm/dd dates suck.--Ed Kelly 09:16, 13 October 2009 (CEST)
        • clyde came up with a way of making it sort the icons, and we're trying to make it a bit more readable. personally i think we should have two separate pages, List of Captain's Logs/List of videos for how it was before and Table of Captain's Logs/Table of videos for the new sortable table, because the list is easier to read but harder to browse or search.
• icons are now sortable. they're templates, so transclude them into the table with {{name}}. they work by including a hidden string that the table's sorting script can read(it ignores images). there's a list of available icon templates here. regards table layout, we're thinking of using something like this so that the description is on a new line but moves with the information directly above it. thoughts?
  • Yeah, I like that.--Ed Kelly 10:52, 13 October 2009 (CEST)
• i moved the table to Table of Videos, and moved the key into a template(which you can easily edit using the little edit link i added to it while we work on it). there's not much point adding stuff to the table until the list is finished, though, so please continue the fantastic work that's been done on this article --cogsdev/vedsgoc 11:27, 13 October 2009 (CEST)
  • Thanks, Cogsdev. --Ed Kelly 13:36, 13 October 2009 (CEST)

BITCHES, I FINALLY GOT THIS SHIT WORKING User:Clydec/sandbox Clydec 21:51, 13 October 2009 (CEST)

new icon types?

perhaps we should add new icons for information such as how the video was released(leaked or youtube), which shirt he was wearing(using Chris and fashion as reference), time of day, etc. --cogsdev/vedsgoc 04:57, 16 October 2009 (CEST)

• I'd be careful about over-complicating it. The icons were originally just supposed to be a guide so you could quickly identify a video that you were looking for, and people are probably more likely to remember subject, style and saga than what he was wearing or the time of day. --Ed Kelly 14:28, 16 October 2009 (CEST)
  • Although perhaps a List of Videos by Shirt page would be useful if people are willing to maintain it? --Ed Kelly 14:31, 16 October 2009 (CEST)

• As seemingly useless as the shirt icons are, they're absolutely hilarious. work. --Whoreos n' Milf 16:59, 27 October 2009 (CET)

• subject, style and saga are enough for finding a particular video you're looking for, but having more information makes it easier to find other videos you might not have been looking for, particularly with the sortable table. while time of day is a bit silly(especially since it's quite hard to tell), format(leaked/youtube) is quite useful, and shirt is probably not very useful but still quite interesting, i think

The Great Merging

Okay, so we have three pages that try to list every video Chris has made:

• List of videos produced by Christian Weston Chandler
• List of Videos
• Table of Videos

The first one is accurately dated, has good descriptions, and is updated up until August 2009. It's also a descriptive title. But it's in a very boring table and out of date.

The second has icons which are really nice, it categorizes videos, but a vague title (it should be at least "List of videos" for one). It really should have a more specific title, maybe give it "List of videos produced by Christian Weston Chandler" though that would exclude videos like the one where he goes to the bar which was actually made by a gal pal.

The third has the video in sortable table format, which is extremely useful, though the dating needs work (then again, Cogs is still working on it), but the title sucks (no offense to cogs) - it's still a list, just in table format.

Ideally, I see the first and second combined into the third and then we'll have a kickass list of all of Chris's videos. But we still need a good, descriptive title (or at least I think so - if you beg to differ, say so and perhaps you'll convince me otherwise).

Any thoughts? --Champthom 14:20, 19 October 2009 (CEST)

• i think a list of all videos chris related would be great, not just stuff he uploaded. i doubt anyone would search by that criteria anyway. we're just going for the shit that's hilarious. an icon to indicate leaked or live (chris drinking/city hall) might suffice. and the title is the least important shit. getting the shit into a decent format is more important. Clydec 02:17, 20 October 2009 (CEST)

• True, though I wasn't very clear, top priority is to get everything into a clean, presentable format so we have a kickass article that is useful, informative, and pleasurable to read. --Champthom 03:03, 20 October 2009 (CEST)

• I really think we need to make a sortable table combining the first and second into one, so it'd be easier to find videos by date, by title, and by length too. I think one of the faults of the CWCki is that information can be hard to find at times unless you know where to look and even I have problems finding videos on the CWCki. I might work on it but someone is more than welcome to beat me to the punch. --Champthom 21:02, 17 February 2011 (PST)

New shirt icons

Hey, guys, how about a new shape for shirt icons? (deleted. see article page for pics) If you like, I can make the rest of'em. My main goal was to visually distinguish the shirt icons from the round subject matter icons. --GokuGetEm 12:20, 24 November 2009 (CET)

• I don't see why not. --Whoreos n' Milf 20:20, 24 November 2009 (CET)

• Thanks! I'll upload them tomorrow, I think.

By the way. What does the "website" icon depict? I seriously can't get it.

Oh, and also. I think we need to somehow distinguish "video games" (subject matter) and "video game" (other). --GokuGetEm 20:24, 24 November 2009 (CET)

Okay, uploaded the new shirt icons (see article). Tell me what you think. On another note, how about these new icons: , instead of the old ones: File:Homos.png File:Fanart.png File:Sex.png? Also, my questions about the "website" icon and the "video game"/"video games" icons still stand. Okay, off to another article --GokuGetEm 21:52, 25 November 2009 (CET)

Videobooks

I noticed that none of the Videobooks are listed here. Is this intentional, and should we include them? I know that they're mostly dross, but there are still a few hilarious moments. Pugs Malone 20:35, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• Couldn't hurt! --Umad 00:59, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Dates

dd month yeah... gonna take a while to fix that. --Umad 00:42, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

The Future of Shirt Icons

I'm starting on an epic mission to create icons for every shirt ever worn by Chris. So far, I've counted about forty unique shirts(!) and more are always possible to show up. I think this calls for the "Shirts" column to be removed from the table at the top of the screen. I don't think the shirts need to be used in the key since they're easily identifiable just by looking at them. I currently have ideas to combine both the icons and the thumbnails from Chris and Fashion and possibly create a new, definitive shirt list page. Kynes 22:45, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Icon suggestions

I think there should be icons in the "other" tab, identifying if the video was hosted on Youtube, or was on the DVD --Briscoe 22:18, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

This article is FUKKEN HUEG

I think this article is getting too big to manage (especially with the sections turned off). Do you think we should split it into, say, three six-month segments? -- Revolver Octopus 03:49, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Update: I reorganized most of the videos into one of three templates: one for 1994-2008, and one for each half of 2009, with another template to follow when July 2010 comes around. I think that this method will make editing the list more manageable, since it cuts the size down and makes it easier to not get lost in the markup. The templates can be accessed through links in the major headers. -- Revolver Octopus 05:16, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

What is this?

I fail to see why this video does not have an article. Pfargtl9000 00:30, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

You were too lazy to add it yourself? --T K 19 01:21, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

...we MISSED ONE?!--Blazer 00:36, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

• I set it up. Add to it and make changes where needed. --Jewlay 19:58, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Why isn't there a Jack Thaddeus saga icon?

I know that the Jack saga ended awhile ago, but still I think he deserves to have acknowledgement since he pretty much did get a saga from Chris thanks to the old CWCipedia ads.-- Hieghts503 17:20, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

• I'd say its most likely that jack isn't really that popular amongst trolls, but i'd say that the saga is more about the cwckipedia management, and not about jack himself.Basgon 17:53, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Flipnotes?

Add them to the list, or give them their own separate list?--Beat 15:15, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Early names here need to be updates

"Captain's Log" where it isn't really. --Sonijew is back 12:03, 17 November 2010 (PST)

Good point. Entries like Captain's Log, Stardate November 7th, 2007 should not be a redirect. Captain's log entries are videos which start with the words "Captain's log" somewhere in the opening segment of the video. --Anonymax 14:11, 17 November 2010 (PST)

Should we have a template and/or a category on the Tomgirl videos?

--Sonijew is back 03:27, 26 February 2012 (PST)

Link from Main Page

I always thought it would be fitting to situate a link of this list somewhere on the main page. It is an incredibly detailed catalogue of every video appearance made by Chris; yet it is nearly hidden in obscurity--which is an absolute shame. Thoughts?--Galilean (talk) 02:22, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

I agree. The What links here page shows that it's on the main page, but hidden under the "New to the CWCki?" spoiler. How about moving the link to the Welcome box, next to the "We currently have 1,671 articles...and counting!" line? -Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 10:19, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

• I was thinking the same thing. Right underneath the number of articles, I'd like to setup a counter that lists the number of videos and pipe that to this list.--Galilean (talk) 10:10, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Jessica Quinn saga icon needed

We need a special icon to represent videos made during the Jessica saga. There are several videos involved in that saga. --Larry the Larryhog (talk) 02:34, 15 December 2017 (UTC) Edit: We might also need more shirt icons. --Larry the Larryhog 02:40, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Questions regarding interviews

Should interviews with Chris be added on the list? Several of his most recent ones are in it. -Larry the Larryhog (talk) 18:53, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Should there be an eyewitness icon?

For videos of eyewitness reports and sightings--Y0h 513nn R3n (talk) 12:38, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
