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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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? --SargentPickles 00:19, 5 June 2010 (EST)
