Anonymax is hereby a CWCki admin
Because I am far too STRESSED to constantly monitor CWCki like I use to, and because the CWCki has gotten larger, I hereby dub Anonymax a CWCki admin. May he use his powers for good, not evil. If you have problems, you can all stop bothering me bring your problems to him as well.--Champthom 20:10, 9 November 2010 (PST)

Hi guys. I'm here to ask you a simple question.
There's a site out there that allows you to create a free "booru". A "booru" is an online gallery that anyone of its members can contribute to. Another "booru" feature is tagging: e.g., if you add a "rosechu" tag to all pictures featuring Rosechu; then, if you search for "rosechu", you'll find every pic with the "rosechu" tag; etc. It's quite a useful thing. Examples of "boorus": Danbooru, Gelbooru, Paheal (aka Rule 34).
I can create a booru (on the site I mentioned) for CWC-related fan art, for CWCkians to browse and contribute to. The question is, are CWCkians interested in this? That's what I want you guys to tell me.
P.S.: Btw, there's a lot of fan art pics on CWCki, and most of them aren't used in actual articles. If such a booru were to exist, all these pics could be safely deleted from the CWCki database, I reckon. --GokuGetEm 11:01, 10 November 2010 (PST)
Fan videos
I think we should limit the fan videos to 2 max per page, since thay are not really relevant and most of the time don't add much, take for example the "CWC fighter" page, currently it has 6 fan videos.--Basgon 11:18, 12 November 2010 (PST)
A counter for the main page
Since this is like the fifth time Chris has declared he's leaving the internet forever, do you think a counter could be added to DA Update? Like the old one which counted how many days he'd missed on his page a day schedule, it could count how many days he lasts before he uploads another video. Chris doesn't tend to last too long on these things but he did go for a month and a half over the summer without a video update and it might be interesting to see if he manages to beat his previous record.

- That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. --BreadGod 13:59, 22 November 2010 (PST)
- His latest quit attempt started on 22 November 2010
- His longest quit attempt lasted ?? days.
- He has unsuccessfully attempted to quit 5 times.
My initial idea for it. The tech for it works. --Anonymax 15:30, 22 November 2010 (PST)
- Oh wow, that looks really good. Whispsonichu 15:31, 22 November 2010 (PST)
I also have another suggestion to respectfully add to this. If the site has the available bandwidth and space, why not run a streaming news ticker across the front of the page under the CWCki banner, just before the main page articles? This is for when Chris "possibly" goes a longer length of time away from the internet. Say, 50 or 100 days goes by, it could say something like; "BREAKING NEWS: Chris has been away from the internet for 100 Days Now! A NEW RECORD!". Something to that effect, but I think that would be a fun idea. Maybe throw in some random quotes as well and factoids as well, much like the "Did you Know...", but do it as a streaming ticker. --Chris Pickles 00:12, 26 2010 (EST)
working on the Sonichu comic articles
They are way too fucking long. They need to be shortened down. Sonichu 9 for example. I mean fuck who is actually going to read that than just watch the audiobooks or some shit? -- Clyde 10:40, 4 December 2010 (PST)
- I took a crack at the #9 article. I think the problem with the pages for #9 and #10 is that users were updating the article as Chris was updating the comics on CWCipedia. So the summaries read like shit because it was a bunch of people tacking their reactions everytime Chris added new pages. Hopefully Sonichu 9 reads better now, even if it may not be short enough.Dethchemist77 17:18, 4 December 2010 (PST)
Chris, the Master of Disguise
is it worth creating a page detailing all the times chris has gone "undercover"? like the kacey call, junior jenkins, the emails where he pretended to be a teenage girl or whatever, and any time he pretended to be an "evil troll". i think his bizarre attempts to act like another person and believe he's fooling everyone provide good insight into how his mind works and how he sees the world. plus it's funny as fuck -- Acousticvirgin 15:53, 7 December 2010 (PST)
- I don't know. It sounds like a good idea with some potential....maybe we could make it a new addition of the Chris and Cosplay page? After all, that's what it is, in a sense.... --EdtheHedgehog1894 20:31, 7 December 2010 (PST)
- Junior Jenkins isn't Chris jackass. Canine 23:41, 17 December 2010 (PST)
Hey, I'm lazy
Can someone make a PSN tracker template or some shit for the front page? Basically, people will keep an eye on Chris' PSN activities and update the template. So something like "DATE - Fatty uploaded a new cart to modnation racers. Go downvote it now!".
Or something. Whatever. Canine 15:57, 20 December 2010 (PST)
- I would refrain from using language like "fatty" and any concrete trolling plan in response but given the amount of time Chris spends on the PS3, it is worth documenting. There's a requested template award in for it.--Champthom 17:21, 20 December 2010 (PST)
- If only such a template existed/was updated regularly. It would be especially useful if it were updated by someone reliable, such as Clydec. I guess we'll just have to keep hoping. (It isn't a template though. FUCKING WRITE ON HIS TALK PAGE GOD DAMN). Freecell 17:41, 20 December 2010 (PST)
The CWCki Quality Review
I've gotten some complaints about the quality of the CWCki. Now I haven't really noticed anything super bad but this is something I hear from some people and I think that given the CWCki's second anniversary is coming up next week, we should have a frank open discussion about article quality and think of ways to address it.
I encourage everyone who uses the CWCki to offer their feedback so we can maintain the high quality standards we set for the CWCki.
So, I ask you all this - how is the CWCki doing? What do you think of article quality? How could it improve? --Champthom 13:47, 18 January 2011 (PST)
- 1) I think the top priority for the CWCki in Year Three is to organize the content we already have. MachPunch has been kicking ass sorting videos and saga-related content, and I think that's the sort of thing we need right now. For example, Chris was working on a novel last year, and most people probably forgot all about it, because the details are buried in the Wallflower E-mails, instead of being presented in their own article. We have a lot of raw information here, and I think part of the CWCki's role should be to digest those primary sources, so a reader can get the highlights without having to pore over hours of chatlogs or sift through weeks' worth of e-mails. Dethchemist77 14:59, 18 January 2011 (PST)
- 2) The second priority needs to be to crack down on namefaggotry going on around here. I don't object to personalizing one's user page, or using the user talk pages, but lately it feels like that's all some users do around here. The emphasis needs to be on the articles, not introducing yourself and your agenda to the community. Conversely, it annoys me when users add useless shit to articles, as if making any contribution at all increases their wiki XP or something. I'm thinking specifically of those dumb "reaction shot" images, but the same can be said for excessive piping, speculation, or anything where quality takes a back seat to quantity. In moderation, the reaction shot images could be funny, but mostly they just felt like someone was trying too hard. Dethchemist77 14:59, 18 January 2011 (PST)
JenkinsJinkies Articles
Coffee Place and Amanda articles need to be dealt with. I'd suggest that the Coffee Place article become a subsection of List of Christian's edits to the CWCki and become a redirect, while the Amanda article just be deleted. Freecell 22:30, 30 January 2011 (PST)
