Club Penguin Wiki:Archive/Announcement 06/07/11

Hello everybody. I've been meaning to post this announcement for quite some time but it's regarding a few things.

Announcements

"Missions" and "stories"

These missions that people are spending time on making are counter-productive to our wiki. They add nothing to the wiki in any way, they are frankly useless and do not belong here. Unless we can see that you are clearly editing the wiki are participating in the community in an orthodox fashion more than you are editing these missions, they will be deleted. We're planning to make a mission wiki if you guys are really desperate to do this.

Let me repeat, you can still make them, but in a considerable frequency. We don't really want to see your last two pages of contributions to be "user:penguinkid999/Secret Agent Mission #1337/Oh no!/Failed". I'm not putting a time interval on it, you can figure that out on your own. If you hardly edit, don't make those edits missions and stories. If you edit actively, feel free to make a mission occassionaly.

Signatures

I don't know what happened to our signature policy, but after our move - let's just say it failed.

• All images in a signature are limited to 20px in size in order to not break the line format.
• Also, there must be a link in your signature to your page that includes your name and nothing else. The rest of the links to talk pages and contribs can be as creative as you want, but we have no idea who you are if you're signature is a random mess of irrelevant names.
• They can be creative signatures, but please make sure the byte size is small (we'll discuss the exact number). This means no long signatures with a sentence for each link.

Please stop copying my userpage design

I see it everywhere. It's not even funny, and I'm not blind either. I'm sure you're not either, if you're going to copy it at least remove the warning message that says not to copy it and change it up a bit. That means changing the background colour to dark orange isn't good enough ;)

But seriously, signatures must be 20px in images, must have your username clearly displayed, shouldn't be too long. And no missions unless you're actively editing our wiki.

Thank you!

Discussion

Is there any limit to how many missions you can have?

What about the stories? --Chill, Fireworks Master It's 4th of July! BOOM! Fireworks Oh, Happy Canada Day too! 21:15, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Let me repeat, you can still make them, but in a considerable frequency. That's what he said. --PenblooeR © 2011 Talk to me! Or else... 21:18, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

So like, right after you make one, you aren't aloud to make another one right away, or not edit it over and over? --Chill, Fireworks Master It's 4th of July! BOOM! Fireworks Oh, Happy Canada Day too! 21:28, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

No you aren't allowed to make another right away, it'd defeat the purpose of a wiki that's made for its readers. --Tigernose Talk • Contribs 21:48, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

What about only starting another one, but you spread out the edits? --Chill, Fireworks Master It's 4th of July! BOOM! Fireworks Oh, Happy Canada Day too! 23:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

• Missions: I agree to a missions wiki to get missions away! Other than that, no comment...
• Signatures: Nothing to say here... I TOTALLY AGREE
• Userpage Policy: I totally agree! If someone doesn't want their userpage copied, DON'T DO IT. Or at least ask permission!

I totally agree with this all!

Brookelas Happy 4th of July Happy Canada Day too!

I think there's no needing to have a wiki only for missions if the users just don't abuse of it. When it gets to an unbearable level, we may think about it again. But I'm ok with the other 2 policies. --PenblooeR © 2011 Talk to me! Or else... 01:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I think the missions wiki would be best. Brookelas Happy 4th of July Happy Canada Day too!

Some problems with a mission wiki. Who are the admins? If it's on this network, we are looking at CPW admins running it, much like the SWF Archive wiki. Some of us do not want the wiki to be on this network, meaning that it will be gone, and you'll have to pay for your own domain (around $10/year), but I'm guessing that we'll set it up for you. -- LordMaster96 15:21, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I think that having the missions wiki should not happen and missions should actually go on shops but we should rename shops. --ClubPenguinMaster • Talk 15:30, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps Club Penguin Fanfiction Wiki? --ClubPenguinMaster • Talk 15:31, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Too similar to the Club Penguin Fanon. --PenblooeR © 2011 Talk to me! Or else... 00:36, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

I agree with the signature policy, the userpage, and the missions. However, I don't agree with making a separate mission wiki. I think as long as users edit (main space) as often as they make missions, then it should be okay. --$harkbate ^{Talk Page} 17:22, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I happen to agree with all policies, but I think missions/stories can be created if you also make a main-space edit. Otherwise, fanon or fandom. Andrew (The devil is down in Georgia) ^{(Product of human clones)} 18:39, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Signature? 20px?Aw man I have to change it? I guess i have to. I kinda liked having the old Wiki Wordmark Logo in my Username and having it in 20px is too small to read so it goes bye bye. Franky bob ^{(Shop!|Talk!|Blog|Library)} 21:15, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

I think we should rename the Club Penguin Shops Wiki to Club Penguin Activities Wiki or something similar, because it is not only shops. --Chill57181 Talk to me Master of the pencil 01:48, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Great idea! --Tigernose Talk • Contribs 02:12, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

The idea's very good, but we'll need a better name than Club Penguin Activities.

What do you think about the name, "Club Penguin Roleplay Wiki"?

It will be good for everyone. The CPW will be less polluted, the CPSW will be more active, and everybody will be having fun. I also agree with making a rule that prohibites missions and such here. That's why we have the CPSW. --PenblooeR © 2011 Talk to me! Or else... 03:43, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Of course, we should also include an import on the Shops wiki to here so we can transfer our missions to the CPSW easily. --Chill57181 Talk to me Master of the pencil 02:16, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THIS! Why? Some people like me are blocked forever on the CPSW! SO WHERE DO I PUT MY DARN MISSIONS AND STUFF?

Brookelas ^Talk! 02:31, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

If you're blocked, it's because you did something bad. --PenblooeR © 2011 Talk to me! Or else... 02:39, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Chill it guys.

For a quick stopgap solution, use fanon or shops. THEY EXIST FOR A REASON -- TO SPREAD YOUR CREATIVITY.

I have plenty of room on our 3 servers to have a special missions wiki, if desired by the community.

Make a community vote... --PenblooeR © 2011 Talk to me! Or else... 16:51, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Good idea. But the signatures rule is staying, it was already in the policy anyway, just never enforced for some reason. The signature rule will also be enforced network wide. Some of these sigs are a joke. --Tigernose Talk • Contribs 19:14, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Why not use the Big Image Template on the User's talk page? {{Big Image}} I'd Start using it again.

Franky bob ^{(Shop!|Talk!|Blog|Library)} 23:22, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah that's the whole point, people stopped using it after we moved. Will definitely be nice to see it back. --Tigernose Talk • Contribs 15:23, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Ok. I have a few things to say. I don't mind the signiture policy at all. Now if we change the name of the shops wiki and move our things over there, I think it should have different admins. I mean like we promote one admin there, and then that person can nominate other users foe Admins, which we(the users) can vote on. We could also just let that 1 admin promote 4 other admins.
