Talk:CWCipedia

A question

I'm not posting this on the CWCipedia itself, because, ahem, I'm unaware of the community rules of that site. It seems to me that Chris is the only real user - shouldn't user registration and anonymous editing be disabled? (howto) And why isn't Chris a Sysop? If one wants to test the MediaWiki's suitability, as this article claims, we should give the user a little bit more tools. =) Just don't give him Oversight. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 11:46, 30 July 2009 (CEST)

• CWCipedia is the wiki that only CWC can edit. Myself and Cogs share sysop privileges because Chris has no fucking clue how a wiki works and he sure as hell doesn't know how/want to do boring shit like categorize things, make templates, etc. (just like this wiki, lol).We've more or less told Chris "Chris! Here's a page like Wikipedia all to yourself and nobody can ban you or anything! Knock yourself out" There's a reason why this looks like his old website, it's because to him this is just the new incarnation of it.

The idea that only Chris can edit it is so we here on CWCki have an accurate and public source that can be cited in articles and it's in a format that is easy for Chris to use and edit. The Wikipedia article was a goldmine of information, now Chris has an entire wiki to do this and he can go crazy with it.

But yeah, there's no way to register for CWCipedia, and no one can edit anonymously. --Champthom 18:05, 30 July 2009 (CEST)

Ah, so the stuff is disabled. I was confused because the login button says "Login/Create account". I forgot that old MediaWiki version show that whether or not accounts can be created and didn't actually check if I can see a reg form. New MW versions just say "Login" if account creation is disabled. Oh well. Oh, and a side note - just a few days ago, I was wondering "what would happen if people hinted to Chris that Chris would probably be very welcome in Conservapedia (the wiki for Good Patriotic Christians)"... and boom, we suddenly got CWCkipedia. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 22:48, 30 July 2009 (CEST)

A Concern

I understand where you're coming from by giving Chris this tool, but considering the current issue of space, I wonder whether hosting it on the same 110mb account is wise. I noticed he's uploading his songs as you can see here which are going to eat up space really fast. He's also uploading the entire comic series at full resolution which unnecessarily violates the limit (is that even enabled on his side?) and if I'm not mistaken, we already have them on this side right? Duplicating these is also going to eat up a great deal of space as well.

Lastly, I hope you made sure he has a secure password. I don't know how many of the previous account hacks were done by individuals, but I'm sure this new Chris-only wiki will be a prime target for newfags wanting to prove their 1337 5k!11z. --Whoreos n' Milf 20:16, 31 July 2009 (CEST)
