Mailbag 41 is up. Also, there are now a glorious Asperchu-related YouTube video embedded on the top half of the page. Nice one!

New Article of the now/discussion page cleanup

The article of the now hasn't changed in awhile. May I choose a new one? Also, can someone clean up this discussion page?

These topics are OLD and should be deleted:
Lock this page
Someone with move rights...
25 Days without an outrage my ass!

Lock this page

I think it is about time that this page is locked so only admins can edit it.--Blachman 18:59, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

• Seconded. Very seconded. LStaley416 19:01, 23 September 2009 (CEST)
• To be fair, the reason why it's unlocked is because in my opinion, I know that I'm proned to fucking shit up when I tinker with the front page and people might actually want to add something neat to the front page. I understand the concern due to recent vandalism, so if others users feel this way, then the front page will be locked. --Champthom 19:05, 23 September 2009 (CEST)
• Is it possible to change the new user creation so it requires admin approval? That'd make it harder for faggots to simply sign up and vandalize the place, you could make them go through the IRC channel or something. Of course, that goes against the idea of a wiki being open to editing, but there's not really a nice way of stopping vandalism. SirCucumber 19:27, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

• CWCki, as I see it, strives to be open and people should be encouraged to edit it. Going into IRC shouldn't really be a prerequisite of CWCki. Some people don't like IRC and that's fine. Frankly, we're not really in a position to restrict users. As cogs said, she's working on installing an extension which will can easily spot vandalism and reverse it instantly since Cogs, myself, and Clyde can't monitor CWCki every single second. There's some really neat stuff bots can do with MediaWiki in respect to vandalism. But anyways, any wiki is subject to vandalism, but we learn to handle it and hopefully an extensions and maybe an anti-vandalism patrol will help. --Champthom 21:34, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

• well, it's only one person, and the vandalism is fairly regular. i think granting some users anti-vandalism powers and possibly installing an extension will do. --cogsdev/vedsgoc 19:43, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

Someone with move rights...

...plz move Main Page/Archive 1 to Talk:Main Page/Archive 1. What happens in Talk: should stay in Talk:, and people who (for example) whack Special:Random should be spared from these ramblings =) --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 19:59, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

• Good point, sometimes I miss small details like that D:. --Champthom 21:34, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

Chris has uploaded pages 84[1] and 85[2] Someone with rights update kthnxbai Sandworm 00:44, 25 November 2009 (CET)

Streamlining

There are a few modifications that I think the front page really needs. Namely, there needs to be an area that links to all the general areas most important to understanding Chris, such as the comics, the videos, the troll sagas, the CWCisms, etc. I recommend replacing the links in the "CWC Canon" with this. Do we really need a direct link to How the Pokémon came into Our Poke Balls? --T K 19 00:00, 1 December 2009 (CET)

• The thing is, those are texts directly written by Chris himself. It's like, the direct word of Chris while everything else is merely commentary. Personally, I think Chris's Wikipedia page is like the perfect introduction to hear how fucked up Chris is from Chris himself for those who are uninitiated. However, I think it might be handy to have like a "Essentials" box of key articles.--Champthom 19:29, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

25 Days Without an Outage, My Ass!

That is all. --Tristran 01:24, 11 December 2009 (CET)

CWCipedia Tracker needs to be updated

The CWCipedia Tracker needs to be updated so it says thatChris answered the letters in Mailbag 24. Also, it probably should say he fell for a tranny.

...Then update it.

Also, sign your posts.--Beat 04:20, 30 December 2009 (CET)

Done with care and just for you, dear Anonymous!!! Griffintown 04:22, 30 December 2009 (CET)

And that is why Griffintown is a better person than me--Beat 04:44, 30 December 2009 (CET)

Suggestions for video of the now

Idk if this is a good place to do this, tell me if it is or not, I'm kinda new to this wiki, and wiki's in general, but Christian Weston Chandler CWC Sonichu's confession Toughdog6789 06:15, 3 January 2010 (CET)

• Link fixed. Meh, seems long and tedious. I couldn't get through it. --Dude 06:42, 3 January 2010 (CET)

• It's pretty lulzy at the end. --Toughdog6789 07:06, 3 January 2010 (CET)

• Another suggestion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3bvd0XIMZU--Toughdog6789 22:38, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

• This was already the video of the now around 30 December or so. Also in the future, please go here to suggest videos for the Video of the now.--Champthom 23:18, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Missed Comic days

Should we really count the days that the CWCipedia was down against him? He couldn't upload pages, yet the situation was his damn fault anyway. --OFSheep 13:11, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

• I think we should include that as missed comic days. It's not like he uploaded extra comics to make up for it. --Morganna 13:47, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

• I was thinking of maybe adding an asterisk next to the missing page count with note mentioning the outage time. --Champthom 19:30, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

what the fuck?

www.sonichu.com now redirects to some stupid shit about asperchu or something. isn't www.sonichu.com supposed to redirect to here?--Toughdog6789 19:24, 8 January 2010 (UTC) (forgot to sign when i originally posted, sorry)

• Okay, two things. First of all, it's probably for the best. It'll help keep Chris from finding the site (if he hasn't already, that is, in the case that he has then at least he won't be able to find it anymore since the URL change) and also because Chris will be pissed if he finds out. He despises Asperchu, and the thought that it's growing bigger than Sonichu and is using him to garner popularity will probably make him tard rage. Second of all, sign your fucking posts. --ThatMan 01:53, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

• It really doesn't fucking matter if Chris finds CWCki or not, he probably doesn't give a shit and won't believe it. Second of all, everyone loves Asperchu, and Alec Benson Leary is doing to the Sonichu comics what Liquid did for Chris's videos. --Champthom 02:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

• I thought the Sonichu.com redirect was fucking brilliant. Prove to Chris that Alec Benson Leary is better than him in every possible way.--Beat 02:11, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Chris already knows about the CWCki. He blanked the front page once whining about it and was promptly banned. Evang 06:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I thought that was a white knight.--Beat 06:39, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Wasn't chris. Chris probably looked at this and thought UGH TOO MANY WORDS and quit. but yeah asperchu is the next big thing. Clydec 06:42, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

That's the story I have heard. He said the proverbial TL;DR and left. Griffintown 06:59, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually Griffintwon, you're thinking of the story of when Chris found /cwc/. He couldn't even attempt to post the because there were "too many words" and the page's background hurt his eyes. --ThatMan 22:42, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay

Why the fuck isn't the main page protected? ArizonaBay 05:48, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

• What the fuck was with the whole "Chris-chan is dead guiz, srsly" on the front page? NasuGrave 21:50, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
• 1) because people, in theory, should be allowed to improve the main page, 2) we're getting pretty good at stopping vandalism in the race occurrences it happens. Also, to address NasuGrave, I imagine this is some faggot who thinks LULZ ROFLMAO in saying that Chris is dead and giving credit to his shitty troll persona no one gives a shit about. --Champthom 05:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
  • User:Cchandlersonichu here you are champ. ArizonaBay 05:53, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
    • User:Gutcruncher. ArizonaBay 05:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Gutcruncher looks safe, but we'll keep an eye all new accounts for a while. Good night and good luck, all --Dude 06:35, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I just blocked a user called "Therealccwc" out of the CWCki. I guess our vandal is out in the cold. Griffintown 06:39, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Front page vandalized.

Does this happen often? Fefnir 05:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

• No. This faggotry is a rare occurrence. Just bear with it. ArizonaBay 05:57, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

• Yeah, I thought so. Well, It's all fixed up anyways. Fefnir 06:02, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Page protection

I strongly avoid second guessing my fellow admins but I feel that Clyde may have reacted too strongly to the current vandalism. In theory, I think if someone wants to edit the front page, they should be allowed to do so, as people could genuinely have valid contributions. I'm protecting it for two weeks so the current vandals will probably get it's a bad idea to vandalize the CWCki by that time.
I think that front page vandalism is a rare occurrence, the last time this happened was back in October and we've been fine since then so I personally disagree with permanently protecting the front page (after all, we're not CWCipedia :3). However, if people want to talk about permanently protecting the page, let's open the discussion and I will be glad to permanently protect the page if this truly reflects the needs and wishes of the CWCki community. --Champthom 07:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

• Huh, turns out I can block new users from editing pages. I'll consult Cogs to see what constitutes a "new" user because if that's the case, I think our best option would just to block new users from editing the main page which pretty much rules out vandals.--Champthom 07:43, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
  • no you're stupid champ, no one has edited the front page to make it contain anything useful besides you Clydec 07:46, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

• NO U. Also, you did :p. And in theory, someone could make things look cooler in ways neither you nor I could. Anyways, since I know when to pick my battles, if you have an idea for the front page, post it on this talk page. --Champthom 07:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Shirts

Kynes has been doing some good work on Chris's shirts, and I noticed there is some white space (well, green space) on the main page, so here's a quick little shirt tracker if anybody's interested! --Dude 00:01, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Mailbag 41

It's up already, Chris is probably going to go fucking crazy since every single one is either criticizing him or praising Asperchu. I bet he deletes 3/4's of it. Sandworm 01:52, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Hardlinks to Old CWCki

Check it out

The only hardlinks left are ones that originate in Template:Christory pages for dates that haven't been added yet. If somebody wants to be a TRUE hero, they should start going through those templates for hardlink instances and fixing them. --Dude 02:18, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Spanish

I wanna translate the pages to spanish .. how Where edit this...—Preceding unsigned comment added by hematofilo (talk • contribs)

• For now, if you really want to translate pages to Spanish, I'd make subpages in the time being until we could work out a Spanish namespace. For instance, put your translation for Christian Weston Chandler to Christian Weston Chandler/Spanish. --Champthom 09:49, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Quote of the Now request

"How old do you think I am? I am not an immature child; I am 27 years old." From Mailbag 45. --Jewlay 01:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
"I have already donated a healthy sum into the funds that have exceeded $57 million." Even better. Apparently he doesn't need his monthly tugboat after all! --JM1987 21:21, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

People, if it's a decent quote, you're welcome to update the template yourself. If it sucks, I'll revert it, if not, I'll keep it. By the way JM, I think he's not saying he's donated $57 million, just that he's donated to a fund that has raised this much. Poor wording, yes, but not totally fail wording. --Champthom 21:27, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

• Thanks, didn't realize it was a template. --Jewlay 21:55, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Front page templates

So this page isn't clogged up with "Hay, [x] should have [y]", here are links to front page templates:

• Template:Picture of the now
• Template:Video of the now
• Template:Quote of the now

Article of the now is protected, but feel free to suggest articles on the talk page.

If your suggestion sucks, I'll revert it, if not, I'll keep it. --Champthom 09:48, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Removing the outage thing

If there's no outage by the end of the month, I'm going to delete the outage counter from the header. It's served us well but since we have a new server, I don't think outages will be a problem anymore. --Champthom 23:12, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
