Hey, do you know how to edit the menu in the side bar? It only links to recently edited pages. It would be better if it could go into the categories.

Hey, Stabby here. It's been a while since I did any serious work on a wiki, so I'm sorry if I'm a bit slow to get some things working.

It looks like right now we need to make it easier to navigate, as it's difficult to find where the directory of articles is from the home page.

StabbyStab 20:53, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe we shouldn't be concerned about navigation just yet. Let's just get a good amount of articles and pastas. Anywhere from 30 to 60. Once we have enough content we should continue to improve the navigation, then promote the wiki.

HandsomeChris 20:56, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Kay, sounds good.

I bolded the links on the front page, which should do as a temporary fix.

4chanarchive.org is a good place to start if we're looking for more pasta. I think there have been at least 2 "Post some pasta" threads that showed up there recently.

Also, I put the "Go to sleep" picture on the front page as a placeholder. Do we have a logo or something we want to use?

StabbyStab 20:59, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

It would be really nice if we could get a logo, but I think your picture is good.

I would make one, but whenever I try to open MSpaint, nothing will come up, still looking for a solution.

HandsomeChris 21:02, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Try paint.net

It's pretty much a poor man's photoshop (It's free)

Just a thought; take your favourite little known pasta, make it a page, and either don't link it or hide the link.

Make it look all garbled and corrupted, like it's randomly cropped up and was never meant to be found, with a theme that fits roughly to the site, and watch 1 or 2 people shit brix when they find it by clicking the "Random page" button.

Thoughts?

StabbyStab 21:14, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

LOL. I like that idea. Also, please don't forget when adding new creepypasta to also add them to the Article Listing page ClericofMadness 21:18, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I'm trying to add a link to the picture pastas on the article list page, as I have some pastas that are only in picture form at the moment, and the orgaization on the pictures page is a bit too chaotic to find specifics at the moment, and I just realized I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

I need a new section, and I have no idea how to do it

Sorry I'm being a bit slow

Any idea what to do?

StabbyStab 22:03, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Well, the Pictures Page is listed on teh front page, so I don't see much of a reason to link the whole page there. HOWEVER, you could link individual images onto the articles page! ClericofMadness 22:11, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

That's what I mean, but a seperate section on the articles page for specific pictures would make organizing easier.

StabbyStab 22:13, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Like what I just did? All you have to do to link to the images is type in File:Pok and File:Pokemon Mutant Future.png would pop up, and then name the link correctly and smack the enter key to input the link. Much easier than I figured it would be.

ClericofMadness 22:22, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

I love you. In like a way where you praise a co-worker for being very productive. HandsomeChris 04:19, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

/em bows. I'm just trying to do my best, is all. I'm finally an admin of something (well other than a forum that never really got anywhere), so I figure I had better act like one, lol. ClericofMadness 04:23, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

AIM
Cleric, we need to get You, Me, Stabby, Maspa, and Antennastoheaven all on AIM so we can start up some chatrooms. The threads on /x/ and the talk pages can get tedious. I think this would help if we had sort of a "board meeting" every few days on AIM or some other messaging system. Reply as soon as possible. HandsomeChris 20:22, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. AIM would be far more efficent. ClericofMadness 06:22, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Where?
Where does this pasta go? im kinda new here so i don't really know my way around.

Numbers never lie 02:47, August 25, 2010 (UTC)Numbers Never Lie

First off, name it something that fits the pasta without completely giving it away. Second, put it in the article listing and make the category People.

Images go in their proper galleries, not in pages of their own.ClericofMadness 05:45, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Hello! :)
I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I am finding this site incredibly helpful because I am making a computer game and these creepypastas are really helpful in my game. Of course I will be giving credit where it is due.

Puppet Of Fate 03:46, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Best of luck to you then! Feel free to post a page about it, if it really fits with the spirit of this wiki...ClericofMadness 16:18, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Can we run new categories by the admin first please? ClericofMadness 15:47, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

I have returned
Hello Cleric.

I haven't been contributing to this wiki for a while, but until recently I've been busy with my job. I'm in school (or college, or whatever) now though, so now that I have some extra spare time I might as well spend some of it here. It's nice to see how this wiki has grown since I left! Black goes gray 06:52, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ahoy, friend! Indeed this wiki has been expanding, and I'm glad to see you're back. Do you have MSN/AIM? ClericofMadness 06:54, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Of course I do. Add black-goes-gray@hotmail.com and I'll be on later. I'm on my way to school in a little while though, so don't expect me to be online until this afternoon. Oh, by the way, what's your time zone? I'm GMT +1. Black goes gray 07:03, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

UTC -06 here. How's the future? ClericofMadness 07:06, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

hey, is there any way to change my username if i do so desire?

Short of getting a new one, I don't believe so ClericofMadness 11:49, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

great site
Hey thank you for creating a site like this and this really motivates me to keep writing my own work

Thanks and, as always, don't be afraid to show off some great new OC! ClericofMadness 16:19, November 10, 2010 (UTC

Problem
Hello, I hear you may be able to help me with something?

One XanCrews on this wiki is attempting to offend me over a simple thing as kindly asking a copyrighted image to be removed. Even impersonating me and being offensive all around.

This is what happened:

I found an image I made on the wiki. Original is here > http://spanex.deviantart.com/gallery/23901616#/d2yfn2h

The person adding it won't be reasonable with me and changes the picture to this: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/File:Lost_in_darkness_by_spanex-d2yfn2h.jpg ALTHOUGH he removed it, and I thanked him. He doesn't take my thanks kindly, it seems.

He continues being offending, impersonating me and even linking porn sites.

I hope you can help resolve this matter.

- Spanex

Yes, I have removed the image as per your request and left a notice on his page not to start drama. I would like to apologize for the actions of my wikia's users. ClericofMadness 17:05, November 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! You don't know how grateful I am. I'll take care the source of where he got my art from is removed. Thanks again.

Dude, i gotta be strait with ya, that picture scared the ever-lovin crap out of me. Caused nightmares for like a week. Good stuff lol. Just had to give you mad props on that

Some Hacker Jerk
Cleric,

It appears there's some hacker on this site who is "killing" the users (or threatening to). He started with Mikea476 and is now targeting my username. Granted this is nothing more than some annoying jerk with a massive God Complex, however it's completely uncalled for and can be viewed as a terroristic threat. XanCrews is the one who pointed this out to me suggesting I change my passwords and such on all my accounts and I have taken that advice and after discussing this matter with him we feel that you have the power to handle this situation in a more effective means as you are the site admin. I'm sure if you ask Xan he can get you everything you need on this guy and take care of business. I appreciate anything you can do to keep this cyber-terrorist out of this awesome site. Thank you.

BenNasty

I can ban whomever is responsible for the attacks, or at least try to find a way to limit their access. If you or Xan could contact me via email (clericofmadness@live.com, which is also my MSN ID) or by AIM (clericofmadness) I would greatly appreciate it. Sorry I haven't been as active as before Halloween. Holidays are hectic here.

ClericofMadness 07:01, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know what I can really say... all i know is somebody, either the actual user or an actual hacker using their account saying they were going to "kill all of the users" and take over the site using their accounts, and that bennasty was next, other than that idk, it's all in the logs and nothing has happened since...

Inspirations?
Hi, newbie here. I'm enthralled by Creepypasta and would love to write some. My problem is that I don't know how to start. I've got one kind of basic idea (I can email it to you if you'd like) but it's kind of lame.

Do you have any tips on how to get inspired for this, or just some basic style guidelines?

Dionysius8421 05:28, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I research the occult for a book series on which I am working, so knowing a bit about some of the more occult aspects of this world helps.

If you want to write a story that is meant to scare, unnerve, or otherwise make people question reality you need only ask yourself one thing: What is scary?

And by that, I mean, what do you find to be scary. If you can find an idea that would scare you if you were a reader, then that's a good idea. That's the best way to start, in my opinion. Make a list of scary things, and try to write about some of them. ClericofMadness 07:25, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

someday...
i hope i get in the top #5 in the leaderboard someday

Why are all the categories so fucked up?

Um, not sure. I'll take a look at them. I hope it's not a bunch of people generating BS categories for the leaderboards... ClericofMadness 08:51, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

You can earn something better than that if you actually contribute! Otherwise, well, nothing good will come of it. Don't do stuff only to get badges. That's not what this wikia is about. If you want to hold a popularity contest, go to /x/. I hear it's filled with people who want attention...

ClericofMadness 05:45, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

word yo... i mean i know it sounds a bit hypocritical coming from me but i was going to contribute to this (at the time) slightly anemic wikia... i would say the best thing that boosted anything was adding content... allowing peple to read new stories its good shit yo

O Hai Thar!
Hey, I noticed the lack of capitalizations. So I made an account. Nice too meet you! :3

categories?
i was just looking at some of these categories and what do you think about getting rid of some of them and we really dont need beings/cryptids/monsters when they are all so similar and really? problem?

I am all for making a shorter list of tags. Some of these I don't even these days. There is a page called Genre Listing, which no one ever added these new categories to...and then the categories have their own pages, like there is Category:"Lost Episodes" and "Lost Episodes".

I get why there are the non-category:X pages, because those are a MESS. I linked everything under the Genre Listing page to point to the Category:X pages because that was the majority there, and having five out of like 20 links go different places looked bad, imo.

I—or someone else—can go round up the Genre pages that aren't the category pages and re-link the Genre Listing, but I just don't see it being used as much as I think they should.

If this makes no sense, I can clarify more ClericofMadness 05:13, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Seriously? you beat me to it by like 5 seconds... you are a god lol

Hey, thanks for editing my article, i think that you have already notice that my english is not very good and i have some problems with some words.

Not a problem. Luckily, I know that story! ClericofMadness 02:59, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Sup, i appreciate you blocking that vandal who was editing my GTA pasta, it is MY experience; therefore it is mine to edit!

PROTIP:

The talk page message is signed by the admin, helper, or staff member that edited the wiki most recently, so that the contributor knows where to go for help.

hey, i'm just wondering if i could start my ARG from here.

Depends on if it is a complete story or not. If you really want to, email me with the information. I'm not completely sure what you mean when you ask this. ClericofMadness 19:55, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

I'm just working on it now. i'm just wondering if when i'm done i can put the story on this website. i'll email you a summary when i am finished

Hey There
Long time no see, Cleric.

What has happened to the Wiki since late August?

HandsomeChris 01:42, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

Badges, members, organization, new wikia skin, two mods...rules, lol. ClericofMadness 02:16, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

It seems like there hasn't been much change. Where do we go from here? By that I mean, what are the biggest problems with the Wiki and what are some improvements that could be made? Also, it seems like that the Wiki is still unknown by many /x/ users the last time I checked, but that may be due in most part to a wave of newfriends.

HandsomeChris 02:32, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

Guts
Actually this is one of my favorite short stories by chuck palahniuk... but it isnt creepypasta... it doesnt belong here oh BTW FUCK ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA! it happens to mention this as creepypasta... which it is not... fuck that site seriously...

XanCrews

I completely agree with Xan on this one. Guts is a brilliant short story but it is in no way, shape, or form a creepypasta. Also, why the hell would he call it a troll pasta...there be no trollin up in that biatch! In any case, I vote to remove it on the grounds that it is not pasta.

I Concur. It doesn't jive well with our other material. It's the bee of stories here. ClericofMadness

New Genre: Ancient stuff
I had an idea for a new genre to add. Its based on mostly ancient stuff like artifacts or old places once used by ancient civilizaiton. I'm sure there would be would be people that could right pretty good stories in the catagory.

I don't know aboout that. We have the Items/Objects category. How would one define something as an 'artifact'? Would we be using Warehouse 13's definition or would there be an age limit of say centuries? ClericofMadness 02:04, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
