Wiki editing guide request

Could someone work on a guide to explain the basics of wiki editing? Lots of people think they need to know a lot about Chris to edit the CWCki when really basic wiki editing is probably more important. Nothing fancy - mostly how to add images, how to link, that sort of thing. Hell, you could probably rip off Wikipedia's guide but rework it, maybe make it a bit Chris related. First person to do so will get an award for their userpage of sort. --Champthom 04:21, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

where do i drop it off? i'm going to work on it tomorrow morning.J0haely 05:43, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

• Call it something like Help:A Quick Guide to Wiki Editing.--Champthom 17:23, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

New userbox template

Medal of Merit: This user has done tremendous service to CWCki and deserves recognition as such. CWCki Jerkop: This user is a Jerkop on CWCki who bans vandals from this region. The Gold Star Bounty: This user is a Gold Star Bounty Hunter who has rightfully claimed the Gold Star as a bounty for completing a special CWCki assignment. Eurofag: This user is a Eurofag and insists on using unnecessary vowels.

A random, hopefully useful byproduct of me getting rid of my alleged egofaggotry... The award templates in CWCki are, in my opinion, a bit huge and ugly, and I've long wondered why we don't have actual good userbox templates. You know, small and modest ones. =) So, here is one now: {{Userbox}}.

The colors can be customised pretty easily. To the left you can see what kind of results you can get with this template; edit this section to see source code.

Note that I've not replaced any of the existing award/userbox templates yet; I think creating alternative versions of the current boxes might be a viable strategy instead. So, any opinions, people? --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 14:21, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

YesYesYesYesYesYesYesYes. I think we should make new versions of existing templates and standardise the names. --Anonymax 14:23, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

I made some test examples. I personally think the nationality ones look better with just a single background colour. --Anonymax 23:44, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

• So pretty, I like it :3.--Champthom 23:46, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

• These new templates are awesome and great and wonderful. We should start using them immediately.--Beat 20:56, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

• Why don't we? --Champthom 05:42, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Well I spent several days converting all our existing userbox templates to this new template style, so we technically are using them. --Anonymax 09:20, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Doctors in Autism Papers

When reading the 2004 psychological report their were 2 doctors who analized him Zachariah C. Dameron, III M.D and Jeff Raynor M.D. After looking them up I found that the first doctor still works at UVA and her contact information is present. would this information be of any use for us? BigDipper 18:44 May 29 2010 (UTC)

• Doubtful, considering confidentiality. Still, one could ask them general question about autism that would pertain to Chris. Like maybe if Narcissism and ego somehow play a part. Bill Lumburg 02:34, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Right they can't release information without his concent. However technically wouldent they have to do something if he is making death threats and his behavior has become disturbing. I mean we all know Chris can't do shit and won't do shit. But technically the doctors would have to do something because he "he could harm him self or others" I mean with all the evidence we have against him pointing to his disturbing behavior. Could he be evaluated or put into a ward. BigDipper 21:00, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

• We could possibly get him evaluated, but Chris probably isn't careless enough to say anything that will get him institutionalized. (And even if he went on a Youtube quality rant, they would probably be able to tell that he doesn't actually have the capacity to harm any of the people he's angry at.) Besides, do you really want him locked up, where none of us can laugh at him?--Star Platinum 06:52, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Well it would be funny if we could get him locked in a ward. He will be evaluated and the poor doctors will have to put up with his shit but Chris won't see it as help, he will see it as he can't play with his ps triple and sit his fat ass in front of the tv munching chicken mcnuggets. Seperating him from the only things that he cares about might be the best way to troll him and its something new.--BigDipper 18:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

CWCpedia links

I've been deleting some links to the cwcpedia but have stumbled into two problems: one they are way to many and two some have relevant info for the articles. should i continue or revert the changes?J0haely 19:56, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

A temporary solution might be to edit the template to include a note on how there used to be CWCipedia articles about that topic before the great takeover of May 2010. --Anonymax 20:02, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

• Actually, there's a mirror set up somewhere (need to ask Clyde where) to CWCipedia pre-vandalism. Perhaps we should modify the CWCipedia link template to go to the mirror. --Champthom 20:03, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Think you might be looking for dis --Anonymax 20:06, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

I made changes to the CWCipedia link template - it's possible there are numerous articles that don't exist in the archive. Hopefully the majority of them will. --Anonymax 20:40, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

this means i must go back and revert the changes i made.J0haely 21:09, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

• One other thing we need to work on is replacing citations that go to the "old" CWCipedia and replace them with links to the CWCipedia mirror (for example in Sonic the Hedgehog). --Champthom 16:44, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Uncompressed Audio

Any particular reason for using uncompressed audio in these articles (Emily date) since the source is rubbish im sure you could reduce the file size enough to host them on your server using current gen AAC compression (id recommend the Coding Tech AAC +2 Encoder --Nujyhi 22:33, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

You mean the files would be hosted in the wiki? Would be a good idea, but even with compression the files would still be huge, and Cogs would probably need to pass a verdict before we'll see awesome media streaming happening - there's a reason uploads are limited to 7 MB. Also, MediaWiki only supports Theora/Vorbis out of the box. We have YouTube embedding support, though, and many audio bits are available through YT. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 09:20, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

He's Back

Well, its official: he's retaken control of the cwcipedia and is deleting all the hard work that Alex put into the page. He's also left an angry, bitter little captain's log complaining about his fans again... Damn, why couldn't we have dragged out the copyright issue until he tard-raged? I seriously hope he didn't get a Dsi like his page say's, it'll only make him even lazier than he already is --SargentPickles 00:19, 5 June 2010 (EST)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Well should i save Vivian's version of sonichu and upload it to the fan page?J0haely 04:30, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes. Pfargtl9000 Spam and Eggs 05:04, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

All up. though i should also edit the article, but i'm tired. i'll do it tomorrow.J0haely 05:45, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

• Why do you assume it's Chris? Spoiler: it's not. --Champthom 06:29, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Everybody together now:

Leaving the internet, my ass. J0haely 03:48, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

I wonder if Rocky knows about this. Anyways, it seems to me that we could lure Chris back on the web by slandering and Misusing and DIRTYING his Good Name.-Hiiro 04:24, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

When Chris goes off the internet he does incredibly stupid and scary shit. He comes back to us when we catch wind of the latest stupid scary shit to try and explain how it's really not that stupid and scary. That seems to be the current cycle anyways. Honestly, I liked it better when he wasn't distancing himself. The stuff he's doing is lulzy, sure, but stalking Michale Snyder with a camera has an element of horror and reality that I'm not used to seeing in our clown.--Beat 04:39, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

I just hav ethe feeling that one of these days he would get either his ass shot or arrested.J0haely 04:46, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

This is what I am expecting for the last few years. Now that Chris discovered the siren call of the Budweiser, we can safely expect this to repeat itself sooner than later. Griffintown 13:36, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Doubt it. He and his parents(especially Snorlax, who's afraid of having her dear manchild son arrested) will play the autism card and bitch about he's not accountable for his action and shit.-Hiiro 04:56, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

• One of these days Chris is going to get arrested, and the autism card with fail him. There's only so many times one can pull this sort of shit and get away with it like that. He's clearly not worth sympathy anymore, if ever he was. Autism does not excuse being a horrible person. --Edward 13:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

• Here's my question: what's it going to take for Chris to get arrested, if stalking, near-vehicular manslaughter and running from the police isn't enough? Does Chris have to actually chain Michael up in the basement and skin him to make a Snyder-suit? Jesus, Virginia cops are waaaay more lenient than the ones here. --Killjoy 03:11, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

• It could also be that they know what Chris is capable of, which isn't much, so they just ignore him and focus on the more important things.J0haely 03:16, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

It's now been a full ten days since that video was uploaded, and we haven't heard anything from him since. This is the longest he's ever been away from the internet after declaring that he was leaving (unless you count fall 2008 when he was just playing LittleBigPlanet). Tyranogre 22:04, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

• Chris is still around. Even if he's not uploading videos or posting pages, Chris is still on the Internet. Look at his YouTube page: he's always checking in on there, even if he's just looking at videos. He isn't quitting the Internet: he's just hiding in plain sight and hopes we can't see him.--Blazer 22:27, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

TVtropes Article Heresy

Yeah, I don't know how many of you guys here visit TVtropes or were even aware that the website existed, but there used to be quite an extensive article on both Chris and Sonichu there, and it was how I discovered this wiki.

Note, there 'USED' to be there.

Now someone has cleared it out, claiming 'negativity' as one of the reasons that the examples and such were emptied out. It now hardly mentions how much of a psychopathic manchild Chris is. I, personally, was rather hacked off, as I found the page as a major source of lulz, and, as I said, it led me here. Now, the link to the CWCki is gone off the main page. And 'negativity' is such a bullshit excuse for a website that has a page for Adolph Hitler.

I personally have no pull there. If anyone here does, or if anyone here even cares about such things, they should go over there and try to get it all restored, or at least get them to restore the link to CWCki and a little info on how insane and dysfunctional Chris is.

In the meantime, I'm glad I found out about this wiki before that page got massacred. I can still get my lulz here, at least.

--Inferno232 09:50, 10 June 2010

looking at the tvtropes discussion page, it not unlikely that it was chris's reponsability.J0haely 15:30, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

I think the problem is is that, unlike the CWCki, the Sonichu TVTropes page was diving too far into Chris's life and not into the comic itself. If the page was about Chris, it's understandable, but it's not - it's about the Sonichu comic (and most likely the troll stories that inspired it). It just went too far and, understandably, they shut it down. Of course, that's what I think.--Blazer 16:07, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

If it was going too far into Chris's personal life, then they could have simply deleted the Real Life half of the article. But oh well, Sonichu is still in So Bad It's Horrible. Plus, I doubt that it's Chris--he would have tried to sanitize the article line by line rather than just blanking it once.--MoarLurk 17:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

The Sonichu article was blanked and locked by a mod named FastEddie. I sent him a PM on there stating that for a wiki which has extensive articles on multiple historical complete monsters and numerous so bad it's horrible films, games, shows, and webcomics, wiping an article based on "negativity" is a bullshit excuse. --BreadGod 17:54, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Especially since there's an extensive "let's read Sonichu" thread on their forums and it's not lacking in vitriol. The mods haven't touched it yet. EnsignDisposable 19:56, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh, they will. And the Mod who deleted most of it is supposedly, like, one of the co-founders or something. See the discussion on that page for more info. When someone complained about the deletion? His reply was that many, many more of the So Bad It's Horrible entries are on the chopping block next. Asperchu could possibly fall as well, depending on how they end up leaning. I shall link you all to this thread and the Tvtropes discussion, in case you haven't already found it.

While I'm saddened by this turn of events I'm not entirely surprised. Still, I do think Chris's IRL antics deserve a portion of the page. I treat his life like it's a bizarre ongoing story more than anything else.--Beat 03:27, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. Though, seeing as they're going to toss it out, is it possible to use the recent edits to rescue the links and put it up into a page here? True, it wasn't written by Chris, but still.--Blazer 04:01, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

It seems they have blocked the recent changes page.J0haely 04:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I would go on but I was b& from tv tropes (im ryal) but yeah that site is a cesspool of faggotry anyway who gives a shit--Wintermute 05:00, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I completely agree with TV Tropes opinion on this matter. TV Tropes does not exist to condone negativity. Accordingly, I have begun to rewrite all negative articles, starting with Hitler. All negativity has been removed and replaced with POSITIVE THINKING ONLY. All facts can be checked on Wikipedia; this is 100% fact with no negativity. --Ronichu 13:52, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it's even worth the time to bother with it; the article was, frankly, a seething mass of white knight/troll edit wars, discussion that belonged in a forum, and was less organized than the Chandler household. If people want to find more they can Google Sonichu or CWC and that'll lead them to this site soon enough. I agree that the way the article has been sanitized is a blatant overreaction, (There are plenty of other idiot writers and creators that get shit on regularly on that site) but frankly it's not worth the time and effort, especially if the site's founder locked the page. We don't give a shit if Sonichu is listed on any other wikis, why should we care so much about this one?--Mellowyellowsalvation 21:14, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Though this is not the only page that has been erased almost completely for the same reason. If you went to "Small Name, Big Ego"(Oh the irony), the same person (Fasteddie) deleted all the examples and locked the topic without previous warning and the reason he gives for it is also unsatisfactory.J0haely 22:23, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Fast Eddie is ruining his own site. it's political correctness gone mad!--Wintermute 05:34, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Got your TVTropes article back up, albeit it's not as CWC-centric. I hope you guys are happy. It took far too long editing that thing. I love you guys, but the things I do for you guys...Megatenfag

kacey date

I have no idea how this slipped us but yeah here is a link to the transcript for whhen chris met kacey http://pastebin.com/f74d8352 so yeah I dont know if we need an article on it but in case we do hee ya go--Wintermute 05:02, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I can't see it.--Beat 12:21, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Try replacing the numbers and letters in the link with this, 8FxWDZq6 it's another copy. Or just do a search for Kacey on Pastebin. :) --Lunachu 13:36, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

• Here's the correct link: http://pastebin.com/8FxWDZq6

Well, I guessed as much from his past behavior, but now we have more conclusive proof that Chris has no concept of boundaries and will probably try raping her if he thinks he can get away with it. Add this to Chris and Rape, and we should be good to go --SargentPickles 17:50, 11 June 2010 (EST)

I added it to my page in case it is baleeted again--Wintermute 00:41, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Poem formatting

We have another thing that didn't carry over from 110mb to this incarnation of CWCki: Poem extension. If Cogs could install this thing to here as well, that would be awesome and would make life a little bit easier - but on the other hand, Chris was not exactly a prolific poet and it was not used on very many pages, so I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble of downloading the extension and activating it... --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 08:19, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

'Fans' mini-con?

I'm new to the community itself, but I've read several of these articles and devised several half-baked trolling attempts. Anyway, I didn't get a chance to go to Dragon*Con this year, but I was wondering if anyone here was attending and, if so, would be interested in a mini-con of our own. If I can get an idea of how many people, I can try to get some food and entertainment. I manage a few bands and could persuade them to play for the exposure. --TobyMobias 23:12, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Uhhhhhhh no.--Beat 14:41, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Posting new trolling ideas on my talk page

Anyone want to contribute just post. BigDipper 20:10 June 13 2010 (UTC)

Chris has been pretty quiet...

I mean, besides the hullabaloo at the beginning of the month, no new videos, drama or anything. Kinda weird if you ask me. Pedonymous 14:22, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Well his Youtube shows that bob didn't cut down the internet, so it will be in some time.J0haely 15:50, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

He doesn't really have any motivation to talk to us right now. No Sonichu promises and no epic trolls (that I'm aware of). If we could just kill his PS3...--Beat 16:03, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

This is not weird in any way, Pedonymous. He's been gone longer than this. He's afraid to upload videos for many reasons, like "Rocky will yell at me" and "The trolls have a bug on my computer that causes them to obtain anything I upload". Just sit back and let Rocky pull off the best trolling scheme ever.--MoarLurk 18:09, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
