Updating the CWCki

[A Grey Cat]

A mild Suggestion, If I might add, I’ve been reading The Cwcki for years and loved reading the immense level of detail you folks put into what Must be such a Bizarre and Cringe Inducing Subject To Write and Catalogue an Entire Wiki on. But one article On thé ‘Chris And’ Series, Chris and Racism, Needs to be Severely updated, Chris very rarely makes references to Race or anything to do with African Americans these days, notice he's barely made a single post to do with These Endless BLM, George Floyd Protests and Riots that have been causing anarchy In the United Sates these past few months. Hell, we never even here make references to his bullshit 'cherokee' ancestry he loved to peddle so much during his earlier years. Yeah Honestly even though Chris is Far from a tolerant Individual, a lot of that info on that particle article Is far too dated now back to 2010 and still envisages that Chris Is Hateful Bigoted Racist based on near decade old rants and videos that arent an accurate viewpoint on his views now. Chris Is a lot things But I genuinely don't think he's a 'racist' anymore. Or at least he has a neutral or apolitical approach to Blacks and other ethnic minorities, considering he almost never makes mention of It in any twitter, Facebook, or Youtube Vid he makes. Please update the article If possible Moderators, Thanks.

When asked about BLM a few years ago he have a very canned "never heard of them" I'm amazed Chris is that sheltered he hasn't heard anything about BLM or the rioting. Hell the only reason he was vaugely aware of the Charlottesville riots was because the idea guys used it to make him think cwcvile was being invaded by Nazis



Also it's been almost a year since the final bronycon yet there's Barley details on it

I think Chris is too preoccupied with the Dimensional Merge and stuff, but I will raise the flag in the Improvement page for editors to consider.

I could just imagine Chris showing his support, "hmm... I, uh, I know what you all have been through as I have been unfai- ra-racialy- been horribly harassed by the jerkcops probably just as bad as some of y'all... hmm, y-yeah, and I have fought alongside my Sonichu's and Rosechu's to put a stop to it!" Finish it off with an offensive Jamaican impression and talk of a discounted Black Sonichu related merch sale.

God I’d so love to see a tarded-out BLM video from Chris, where he announces that he and Sonichu are “with the black people and their grievances of such!” And then proceeds to launch into a shpiel about he has been bullied online and understand their stress.

One of the editors has recently been updating the BronyCon pages.

Ah my apologies American hedgehog

By the way the picture used on the sidebar for the grand galloping gala section? It's from when Chris was watching a couple of the actors on stage propose to each other just saying.

Is the CWCki still needing volunteers?

Who wants the mid-2020 update to the Redbubble article? Anyone?

@shadhardblogger19

Got it, thanks. I decided to use the desktop screenshot, with the header and footer shortened for sake of simplicity. I can confirm that none of the items for sale were marked as "mature" at the time of creating the screenshot.

Some of the articles about the Sonichu cast and lore need some updates in light of the more recent issues. Example: Simonla's page doesn't mention her resurrection in Sonichu 11 or the cannonization of her brother, Simonchu. The Asperpedia Four article doesn't make any special mention of Chris retconning their deaths except in passing when talking about the Idea Guys. The Jerkop article doesn't mention how they returned, etc.

Everything seems to stop dead at the end of Issue 10. While this is perfectly understandable since the comic was on hiatus for nearly a decade starting then, the further we get from the date of the revival the less sense it makes that the articles are so behind.

Yeah. The idea guy changes are also pretty much just mentioned in passing, which is a shame since it’s some of the lulziest shit to happen in CWCville since the start of the comic.


Anyways, I’d love to try and give a hand if needed.

I understand that the process to apply to the CWCipedia starts with sending in a videotape where you pledge allegiance or something like that?

If you mean the CWCki, there is usually a window of opportunity a few days per month to create an account, if I recall correctly. The reason such a system exists is because of the spambots.

Thanks! I’ll keep a lookout.

lol so did my ghetto rigged script to renew the sonichu.com https cert actually work successfully? (and I just so happened to have checked the cert info <24 hours later?)

First, I have noticed that the maintenance reports are long out of date, which means it is hard for us (both editors and jerkops) to track down and deal with all the broken redirects, double redirects, unused files, and more. I think @Marvin or someone with SSH access needs to run updateSpecialPages.php to bring them up to date.

Ok, this should run regularly.

Second, deleteArchivedFiles.php needs to be run to actually remove images that have been deleted from the CWCki, and also save us disk space. A side note, I have found a few more questionable images in the category "Candidates for deletion" that have nothing to do with Chris and the world of Sonichu. [taken care of by Hurtful Truth Level, thanks]

Third, there is an SSH script for purging all the blocked spambots and keep our editor count true and honest: removeUnusedAccounts.php. We could benefit from the use of that script to clean out all the spambot accounts (including those that I uncovered earlier today).

I ran deleteArchivedFiles.php and removeUnusedAccounts.php.

If you mean the CWCki, there is usually a window of opportunity a few days per month to create an account, if I recall correctly. The reason such a system exists is because of the spambots.

If I didn't fuck it up, jerkops on the cwcki should be able to create accounts for people now.

 

[The American Hedgehog]

Like Marvin said, if anyone wants a CWCki account, you can PM me, @Pickelhaube, or another CWCki jerkop, and we can set it up.

You'll need a username and email address. A temp password will be generated by the wiki software and emailed. Use a throwaway email that you can access later, when someone gets around to reading the PM.


Note for the jerkops: To create accounts for other users, view the Special Pages link at the left sidebar and there should be a bold Create Account link partway down the page. Also, any other jerkops reading this and are open to being contacted by people wanting accounts, let me know and I'll tag your KF username here too.

Oh man the special pages are working again. I'm gonna have a field day clearing that out.

Cant wait to see all the gay porn and god knows what else has been stored in there.

 

[Helenamania]

I think there is an easier way for us to handle requests for new accounts: there is an extension called ConfirmAccount, which allows any CWCki team member to approve account requests without them having to DM us: DMs are not totally flexible because one of us may be busy with much-needed maintenance projects, such as the upcoming project to roll out a file naming scheme for images of Sonichu pages.

ConfirmAccount is fully customizable, and the system interface messages can be edited to replace Real Name field with something like the Kiwi Farms username field. You can also make the Notes field mandatory and style to ask them how they initially plan to contribute to the CWCki.

Another thing, it appears that while many spambots have been purged, I have noticed here that there are still some obvious spambots. I wonder if the UserMerge extension could help us merge all the spambots into one placeholder account?

 

[bisterjeans]

I've gone through the unused files. Deleted around 400 of the available 1000. I think you need to run the script again for more to pop up.

One thing that bothers me is theres a lot of good fanart there. It cant be used in articles but neglecting it feels wrong. Do we move them to the fanart thread here or leave them be?

@Marvin what's the clock on the updatespecialpages.php?
