Template change
There is one instance on MediaWiki:Forum-policies-and-faq where tt needs to be changed to t. Specifically in the "Writer's Showcase" section. It's not that big of a deal, but it would be less confusing for anyone reading the rules. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 22:39, March 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * Got it!  Thanks.  I was asked what tt was for and I found it could be a tooltip, never realizing it was also for template stuff, hahaha.  ClericofMadness (talk) 22:42, March 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * It's fine, it was basically just a snazzier version of undefined with no other real function. If I find it being used on any other important pages I'll let you know. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 22:47, March 27, 2018 (UTC)

Kris Straub story
Hate to bug you again, but it appears that The Gambler's original title was "Opossum Society." I have no idea why it's titled "The Gambler." Maybe the OP found it on /x/ and decided to upload it under that name?

Anyway, if you could change that, it would be much appreciated. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 00:35, March 29, 2018 (UTC)


 * On it, thanks! ClericofMadness (talk) 00:41, March 29, 2018 (UTC)

Category Suggestion
I'm honestly surprised there's no "Food" category. Do you think having one would be useful, since a lot of creepypastas seem to include food-related themes?

So I cant post my pasta on here I've gotten really great feedback from that one is one of my best so far.

Category suggestion:toys and board games
I feel like this wiki may have had this category in the past, but I'm not sure. I think it would be a good category, though I'm not sure how to go about finding all the pages it would be applicable to.

HopelessNightOwl (talk) 04:37, April 24, 2018 (UTC)

I also think "Worlds" would make a good category as a contrast to "places". Worlds could be for stories set in a speculative setting or taking place partially in another world, while places would be for real life locations.

HopelessNightOwl (talk) 04:15, May 4, 2018 (UTC)

I second this. It definite seems like there's a need for this category. Maybe as a subcategory of Items/Objects?

Mistake. Please Help!
Hi. I made a bit of a goof-up. A user left me a message about having a username category. I mistook them for an admin and added the category to all of my stories. I do qualify for the username category (I have 11 stories). Can you help me? Thanks so much in advance. Sorry for the mistake.

Questions about writing and genres
Hello, sir.

I want to submit a pasta, I read the genre rules and know it will be about space, but it could also fit the theory genre.

Here are my questions:

1- Should I submit my pasta to the writers workshop before putting it on the site or, if I'm confident enough of the pasta's quality, can I submit it directly as a pasta?

2- Can my pasta have more than one category? Can I put it in both Space and Theory, or should I choose just one of them?

3- I want to use a real world world institution as a setting in my pasta, the SETI (search for extra terrestrial inteligence) observatory to be precise. Are there any problems with this that I should be aware of? Can it be done or should I omit the institution's name?

4- As a side note, despite using SETI my pasta does not involve any form of alien life. It will be written as an e-mail or a letter. The main charecter is a worker of SETI that went rogue and wrote the e-mail/letter to publicise information he was told he shouldn't. That's why I'm worried about using the institution's name, but it is important to give the pasta credibility and weight.

Thanks in advance.

Wiki Contribution and Quality Standards
Hello, Cleric! I've comtributed my first story to the Wiki. It's called An Alert from the Future. I would like one of the admins, such as yourself, to review it to make sure it is up to the quality standards. I'll gladly change anything if necessary.

I'm also curious as to how these standards are enforced, and who, if all the admins, are responsible for enforcing it. If you could explain to me how that works, I'd be very grateful, since knowing this process would make it easier for me to submit any stories for review ASAP.

Thanks in advance. Best regards,

Hi, Noctevoire here. I'm here to apply for my own user category on the wiki after a long hiatus. Told to contact an admin; thought you'd be the best to talk to. My pastas meet all the criteria-- I have 10 original pastas for this wiki that do.

So why did you deleted the Max and Ruby 0004 page

Hi,

I thought I drop in to share some category ideas.

I was thinking about Hotels, Shopping Malls, and Libraries can be creepy places, especially if they are abandoned.

I have heard many ghost stories surrounding abandon buildings, some with gruesome backstories. If gore is not allowed on here, my apologies.

If you think these are worthy catagories, let me know.

Hello. I am but a lowly newbie, and I had a question. Where does the little symbol thing for this wiki originate? Why is it 4, semi-ovular, bloody looking spots?

Just curious.

Hey there. I just finished putting my first creepypasta together not long ago and I was wondering how exactly I would go about uploading it. Either I'm blind as a bat, or I just can't locate a page that tells me how to do it.

I have it put up on FanFiction here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12985469/1/BattleBlade-Girls-THOMPSON-creepypasta

Since it was written using FanFiction's up-to-the-minute spelling checker, I'm sure I've squashed out any spelling errors that are in there. I'll ask everyone in the workshop if it needs a little fine-tuning before it's ready to roll.

I'm sorry if this is kind of annoying. I don't really come on Fandom very often, so I'm not familiar with how it works.

Category
I was told that I should ask you if I think a category should be added. I've added more than ten stories (which I was told was the min. ammount required) by Clark Ashton Smith, and I think that stories by him should have their own category.

Smith was one of the three major Weird Tales authors (Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard are the other two, and they have their own categories) and had relationships with many of the famous pulp writers at the time. He is known for his vocabulary, morbid subject matter and humor, and how he didn't really follow pulp traditions or cliches. For his poetry, he is considered to be grouped with the "Last Great Romantics."

All the stories I've posted are on my profile, and his Wikipedia page (because I'm too lazy to find an offical biography) is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_Ashton_Smith here. ] Thanks. CASandLD (talk) 00:17, July 10, 2018 (UTC)

Newcomer
Greetings! I've recently joined the wiki, and had a few questions regarding site navigation. I've been on several different writing websites in the past (and actually had an account on this website several years ago) and some of them had a chatroom for users to talk to each other. Does this website have a chatroom?

Another question I have is, when it comes to editing posted articles for grammatical purposes, is it alright to just edit the article if we see a clear mistake, or should we leave a comment and recommend the author fix it themselves?

Other than that, I'm excited to be here!

Delete Now template suggestion
I come to you with the smallest suggestion.

A few days ago when I was looking into how to mark an article for deletion I came across the template. When going to use it through the Visual Editor it asked me to input some parameters: "1" and "nocat". The latter parameter had an obvious function but the former was completely out of the blue. Upon further inspection I realised that this parameter is where one would enter a reason for the deletion of the page.

With that said, could you (or someone else) change the name of that parameter from "1" to something less vague such as "reason"?

I would appreciate it and I am sure that others will as well.

A Couple of Small Things
Heya Cleric, how're you doing? I happened to be stopping by & noticed a couple of things that it might make sense to change.

There seem to be quite a few differences between the category rules on the genre listing and those at the site rules page for the genre listing. The latter seems incomplete, and since Llanunall's recent blog for new users links to it, this could lead to people not knowing the category rules. A couple of the rules are also redundant these days - e.g: "PokéMon and Zelda pastas are not to get the Video Games tag" isn't necessary now that "Stories in the PokéMon category are not to be added to any other categories, except Historical Archive, Memes, Poetry, Videos and Theory". AFAIK this is partially my fault, I was really rushing when I added the newer rules for exclusivity in these categories (sorry).

As an aside, does it make sense to maintain these two pages separately anymore? Their content is very similar. My initial feeling would be to add the missing rules to the site rules subpage & redirect the original genre listing to it, although there could be some reason for having the two pages that I'm not seeing.

Also, should Sheena be removed from the wiki CSS? She seems to have demoted herself & globally disabled her account.

Hope you guys are all doing well, I miss contributing around here.

Underscorre talk - contrib - log 10:03, August 9, 2018 (UTC)


 * Also, no idea if this is a good idea or not, but maybe you could mention in the MediaWiki:Newarticletext (which is displayed whenever anyone goes to add a new page) that the Writer's Workshop is a thing, and that pastas are generally much more likely to be accepted if they've gone through the workshop?

Odd request
I come to you with a bit of a weird request.

Could you please consider having FANDOM turn on the variables extension? I know it sounds like the most random thing in the world but I assure you it is not. All it does is allows you to create variables on the page which you can then use later on. It might seem silly to request this but I have just a few template ideas where this would really really help out and I would greatly appreciate it.

 * Also, when they say they worked very hard on those stories, they mean that they ignored previous times someone pointed out the exact errors they were making and they wrote another story that makes the same mistakes.

Hello there. I am fairly new here but I saw that if I had a suggestion for a category I should leave a message here. I know you guys are busy with this licensing change but I was thinking that I have had a few ideas involving curses/hexes that will probably end up being labeled under Weird. So, I was thinking Curses/Hexes could be a category. There could be room for a section like that. If not, no big deal, just something that came to mind today. Have a good one.

Discord links
I chose not to respond or take any action from the first message as it was worded as a suggestion and not a command. As such I saw no reason to heed it at all. Nowhere in the blogs do I say that it is in any way an official channel of communication for the site. With that said I can see how someone might gleam that from the tag line that was added along side.

If you, or someone else, were to actually visit the discord you would be greeted with a pleasant little message letting you know that it is not really connected to the wiki in an official capacity.

Now that you have taken it upon yourself to remove the links and such from the blog, making it clear that it wasn't just a suggestion, would you mind if I added them back provided that the message is altered to clarify its status?

23:57, August 17, 2018 (UTC)


 * "I chose not to respond or take any action from the first message as it was worded as a suggestion and not a command."


 * So an admin made a request of you, and then you chose not to even respond to say "no thanks I'd rather not" or ask for clarification just because it wasn't phrased as an incontrovertible order? Even if the admin wasn't expecting you to automatically comply, he was clearly at least expecting a response in some form.  When that response was not forthcoming it's understandable that Cleric just decided to take things into his own hands.


 * "As such I saw no reason to heed it at all."


 * Besides the fact that it was from an admin expressing a clear desire based on wiki policy?


 * Your friendly neighborhood night owl. (talk) 01:12, August 18, 2018 (UTC)

Lafcadio Hearn was a Greek author who moved to Japan in 1890 and became a Japanese citizen. Before his death in 1904, he published several volumes of ghost and horror stories from pre-industrial and Meiji Era Japan. I have added my childhood favorites and I will probably add some more in the future.

Thank you.

Request New Category for Clowns
This category would be a subset of the Beings category.

Here are a few stories featuring clowns:
 * 1) Of Course There's a Clown
 * 2) Clown Dogs
 * 3) Clown in the Woods
 * 4) Clown in the Window
 * 5) Jacko the Very, Very Bad Clown
 * 6) The Clown, the Paint, and the Turbines
 * 7) The Clown, the Paint and the Circus
 * 8) Birthday Clown
 * 9) The Sims: Sonny the Tragic Clown
 * 10) Coulrophobia
 * 11) Sarah's Coulrophobia
 * 12) Proven Innocent
 * 13) Bad Day at the Midway
 * 14) Slappy's Happy Mirror Maze

Possible (would fit better than beings)
 * 1) The Performer
 * 2) Documented Insanity

 * Second. Although I can think of some minor issues this could cause, such as encouraging more people to submit generic "clown stalking" stories or controversies over when to apply it (e.g. is it only for monster type clowns or does a story with a character who just happens to be a clown as side job qualify?), I think these considerations are outweighed by the fact that people are clearly interested in clown stories and we may as well make it easier to find them.

Request New Category for Dr. Bob Smith
Cleric of Madness,

I posted my tenth story tonight and am already working on the next one. It would be much appreciated to have my own category.

If my ten stories aren't enough, how many more do I need?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Category proposal: Clowns
There are over 200 results for a search for clowns on this wiki, plus evil clowns are a popular horror trope these days. Many people fear clowns. On top of that, clowns aren't really "Beings" or "Cryptids" or any of our other generic monster categories. I feel as if an evil clowns category could organize those stories together a bit better. --AlixeTiir (talk) 17:12, August 21, 2018 (UTC)

Red Ink Creepypasta Person
Excuse me? Yes. You deleted my only good creepypasta, Red Ink.

I'm sorry, but I feel crushing disappointment knowing I put so much effort into grammar, story and thought only for all of it to be lost.

Everyone has different tastes, I know someone would have liked it.

I'm failing at making original pastas.

That was my first Pasta. It meant so much to me.

Do me a favor, and don't do this to me again.

Thank you for your time.

Why did you destroy my pasta! It wasn’t done! We would update it every day! I’m not using this site. It’s trash and so are you!

Just a small question. How notable (or good) does the creepypasta have to be to warrant an article on here? H.V. LOBSTA (talk) 15:18, August 28, 2018 (UTC)

Concerning the CC Licensing
Hey man. I saw your recent announcement concerning the copyright licensing on here, and couldn't help but wonder if there was a way around this, so I did a little research on the matter; and you're correct: articles posted on a wiki fandom are subject to the CC BY-SA license, however I believe I may have found an exception to this.

https://www.wikia.com/Licensing

After reading the link I discovered that some fandom wikis can have other licensing asides from the defaulted CC BY-SA. So the question is: What licensing does this individual wiki fall under? If it is CC BY-SA (which I suspect), is it possible to change that and allow works that are of other licenses to remain (such as my CC BY-NC)?

Then again, perhaps you've already gone down this avenue and found I'm wrong. But if haven't, I ask you to please give the a link a look.

Thanks and take care!

Re: Licensing
I see. Well, alright. Looks I'm gonna have to take my story down for now (I ain't giving up on this). How would I be able to contact the Staff for this Particular Wiki, if I may ask (I'm assuming each wiki has its own)? I know you said it's "Unlikely they'll change it" but it never hurts to try and ask (plus I was giving this a look over too, very informative: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Tech:Changing_your_wiki_license).

Anyway, thanks for letting me know, man. :)

Take care. --J.T. (talk) 20:18, August 31, 2018 (UTC)

Hey. I made a horror story place and I was going to say, you could port over all of the troll pasta's to me. Ill take them.

Cleric,

I was wondering if I can create a blog for short stories. I read the rules for creating blogs, and I started to wonder if the no full story rule applied to short stories. If I am allowed/able to create this blog ca you help me build the foundation?

I received a message from you welcoming me to the CreepyPasta wiki page! Thank you for that! I'm glad to be able to see this wiki page at all, and I might one day start making my own CreepyPastas!

hi

Spinoff Appeal a bit slow
Hey,

Recently I've been working on a few stories which are set in Innistrad. Y'know, from Magic: the Gathering? The most horror-themed place in the lore, actually. Well, after Phyrexia. And New Phyrexia. And, um, Amonkhet... man, MtG is just full of creepypasta material.

But I digress. My point is this: the stories I am writing are most certainly horror-genre, and I wanted to add them here, as pastas. I asked about whether they counted as spinoffs: they did, so I put one under Spinoff Appeal about two weeks ago. No verdict has been reached on that one (Silver Rain,) and the page said to contact an admin. So, I'm doing that. I hope I'm doing it right.

If you're unfamiliar with Innistrad, this is an awesome primer:

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/savor-flavor/planeswalkers-guide-innistrad-2011-11-02

Also, I'd appreciate it if you would take a look at the second one, Clockwork, which I just added today.

Thanks,

redjinx

Request Permission to be Showcase/Discussions Moderator
Hello Cleric. Over the past few months I have been trying to delve deep into all the content this wiki has to offer. To that end, I've read through the stories included in most of the User Stories categories, read through the Featured Author archive, and am currently combing through the stories featured in the Writer's Showcase forum. I'm almost half way through and have so far come across more than a dozen threads that needed to be deleted or moved, due to the story having been deleted, entire draft posted in the OP, etc.

My original intention was just to leave a comment on each flagging the relevant issues, and then message an admin with links to each all at once (Empy noticed some of my activity on Showcase and has already deleted a few). However, recently I learned from LOLSKELETONS that precedent exists on this wiki to appoint Showcase Moderators under the Discussions Moderator user role.

As you know, Shadowswimmer77 is the only user left from the original group that was selected. I realize that a lot has changed on the wiki since 2015 and such a position may be less relevant to the day-to-day functions of this wiki, but I'd like your permission to be granted or apply for this role. In addition to perusing the showcase forums, I feel I am also quick to spot spam comments, but usually don't consider it worth troubling the admins every time I see a spammy comment. In the past I had considered asking permission to apply for the role, but was hesitant since there didn't seem to be a clear body of policy governing what Discussions Moderators would do. However, now that I know there is precedent and that Shadowswimmer77 hasn't been the only one, and since I've been reading through the Showcase board anyway, I figured now is as good a time as any to ask. I am also planning to continue checking the latest posts on the board after I have finished reading through the current posts, so hopefully I will continue to notice threads that need some kind of staff action. I don't feel ready to apply for adminship but I feel I would make good use of the DM role.

Please let me know if this is an option you would consider. Thank you.
