Encyclopedia Dramatica:Thizzlehat Junction Center

Heeeeeeeeeeeeey!

Thizz in peace, our hyphy overlord.

While you wait for attention, have a look at what needs to be done around here by clicking the shiny blue links below.

Real-time discussion about ED content and/or help from an ED Sysop can be found on ED Discord Server on IRC. Check your fear, drama and faggotry at the door.

About ED

Fashioned in the spirit of Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary, Encyclopedia Dramatica's purpose is to provide a central catalog for the e-public to view parody and satire of drama, memes, e-pals, and other interesting happenings on the Internets. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, reference-style parody, to poke fun at everyone and everything. You can read more about the origin of Encyclopedia Dramatica in our About section.

Before making any contributions, be sure you have read over all of our policies. We will not hesitate to revert any idiotic edits and call you out for your stupidity.

Ways to Help

Users

All are welcome, as long as you read and agree to the general disclaimer. The only real requirement is to create an email-confirmed account to edit articles (no anonymous editing allowed). GO TO THE FORUM, OUR CURRENT DISCORD SERVER, OR ASK ONE OF OUR ADMINS ON THEIR USER-TALK-PAGES FOR HELP. KTHX.

General

• Got a lulzworthy subject you feel needs to be written about? Submit it to the Needed/Proposed page and someone might pick it up. Make sure you check to see if there's already an article about the subject first.

• Patrol recent changes to see what others are doing.

• Ask questions at the Thizzlehat Junction Center.

Writing

• Write an article. This is the best thing you can do for ED.

• Check the Bad New Articles portal to see if there's anything that ought to be expanded or cleaned up.Avoid putting deathnotices on articles as there are usually better ways to do shit

• Check the list of wanted articles. This is automatically generated when two or more pages contain links to a page that doesn't yet exist.

• Expand on stubs.

• Rewrite crappy articles.

• Salvage death noticed article review random page.

Front page

• Suggest Good New Articles and Bad New Articles.

• Suggest Did you know...

• We're always in need of Article of the Now and Quote of the Now suggestions.
  • Picture of the Now and Video of the Now are also nice.

• Forum members should highlight good threads.

Images

• Add images to articles, or upload better versions of wanted images. Make sure you give your image a detailed name instead of a bunch of symbols or numbers so search engines can actually find them and link to them easier.

• Browse though unused images and files and find homes for them. Do not delete or put death notices on duplicate images, use the {{duplicate}} template instead.

Maintenance

• Eliminate dead-end pages by adding links to other articles, preferably lonely ones.

• Categorize articles. We have a list of existing categories and a list of uncategorized articles. To add an article to a category, click that page's edit link and at the bottom of the entry, type [[Category: (name of category)]] and click "Save Page." Use the "Show Preview" button to make sure you typed a category that exists (red links mean you failed). DO NOT create new categories.

• Update/Rotate a Portal. Seriously, this would be highly appreciated. The goal is to have each one changed once every two weeks or so. Anyone can do this.

Request editor privs

If you're interested in helping out further, request editor privs, assuming you've been around for a couple months or have otherwise proved yourself.

• yeah? that's what i mean: mods/editors should do something about it and also cacscade protect xotns because someone could very easily {{2000goatse}} the main page. in fact why would the ED:AOTN page even be protected? it has no bearing on the actual content that shows up on the front page and nobody has any reason to fuck with it Schnitzel (talk) 14:22, 8 January 2022 (EST)

Sounds like the lazy faggot admins need to promote someone already so the fucking AOTN stays up to date. Even inferior wikis get this right, why can't we? inb4 gibadmins pls I'm far too fucking busy to do that crap myself lmao BigMeatHuggins 09:31, 10 January 2022 (EST)

all, and I say ALLLLL of them are too busy on EDF, sucking cock on discord or just being lazy. they even removed my sysop privs because I refused to join disc MarioMario456 ^{(Talk to me | My contributions)} 13:50, 10 January 2022 (EST)

That wasn't the main reason. Many don't care about the discord. But the discord was the most convenient way to talk about issues people were having with you. You had your Admin taken away from starting shit with me and Kaizen. I did you a solid, although I did not know what was going on. And then you went on the forums and gloated. I'll talk to Kaizen about giving you your Admin back next time I see him, it's his decision.UMK ✎♛ 00:38, 1 February 2022 (EST)

Kaizen still wants you to be able to communicate with the other editors on our discord, so until you are ready you're still a pleb.UMK ✎♛ 01:12, 1 February 2022 (EST)

• it's been that way for years lol, when i was mod all i'd do was xotn since nobody but maybe 2 others would do it. if this site stays it'd make more sense to just be an archive and not a wiki since nobody cares enough to update it. that being said if you want to be admin you should just join the discord since it's easy instant communication and you don't even need to really use anything but the admin channel they add you to. be the change you want to see in the world etc Schnitzel (talk) 19:36, 10 January 2022 (EST)

I'm having a lot of fun updating the pages with new drama, new content, new happenings etc. The world has changed a ton in the last six years since this site saw it's biggest hive of activity with Trump in office and generating the most amount of lulz since Chanology I guess. I think the biggest problem we face in this current era of the internet is that there's no definitive "ANON BOARD" any more. 4chan is and always was a shithole, 8chan turned into a shithole, and mass exodus after mass exodus from platform to platform have fragmented the community that WOULD use ED to a point where they've moved on. I don't want to say anons have grown out of being anons, but everything I've seen over the last few years seems to point to that. It's sad, it's really really sad. HOWEVER... there is no shortage of lulz to document today, and plenty more lulz from the past to editorialize. There are no shortage of autistic furfags for example, and the furfags that we mocked relentlessly are probably still around making drama THAT NOBODYS TALKING ABOUT. The shitstorm that would unfold with them finding out we wrote about them would be just as hilarious today as it would have been ten years ago, because it's not like ED's lost it's touch, it's aged like wine. That's just furfags though, the same thing could happen with any asshole on twitter with a blue-checkmark. Nevar forget, with great drama comes great notoriety.

autoblock

Autoblock has been fixed to automatically be applied as infinite as previous settings were resulting in niggerlicious sockpuppetry. A thread on EDF to contest bans/blocks has been created. Previously, users were being referred to the ED Discord which is gay. Discord is fucking gay and has been deleted with no warning by Discord. .wil 22:12, 13 January 2022 (EST)

You can indef lock the Anatoly Karlin article and its talk page

Mikemikev is going to keep creating socks to vandalise and impersonate other users on the article- so you might as well permanently lock it like others. I have nothing more to add to the article and its done anyway. Novosibirsk (talk) 10:01, 27 January 2022 (EST)

The bigger problem is how to deal with the endless volume of socks the three spergs (Viril, Antandrus and Mikemikev) keep fucking making. One option is to lock the user registration indefinitely and either have new potential users go on your forums or discord. I know it's a flawed idea, but the extra effort to make a workable sock account might just be enough to deter them, because instead of making one account they have to make two or three on separate platforms. It's hardly an inconvenience for an EDiot, but it is for these three where all they want to do is sock and vandalize a wiki. BigMeatHuggins 14:56, 27 January 2022 (EST)

Just revert their edits as vandalism is pointless. Antandrus is harmless. Viril and Mikemikev are harmless too. Watch recent changes and stay vigilant. Mark their userpage with {{banplz}} so it shows in sysop tasks. .wil 15:15, 27 January 2022 (EST)

I agree. Their all harmless, but only one of the gives a shit about bettering the wiki, when he should probably just do other shit/get a fucking life. JWL 15:19 27 January 2022 (EST)

hm that's odd. the template consists basically of:

have you tried just applying those four (or some or one of them) to the page in question? i see you tagged Kaizen. hopefully "Echo notifications" will notify him he was mentioned. if not, lmk and i can drop a note there. if youer already a sysop (i think so but i cant remember) try "subst:" 'ing the templates above? -hipcrime 00:31, 8 February 2022 (EST)

please be more specific mario, "some spam blacklist" doesn't tell me anything. Kaizen (talk) 15:28, 14 February 2022 (EST)

this is what it says: "Error: The text you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to a blacklisted external site.

wiki features requests

update on the OGG/OGV/OGA handler plz (copied over from TJC archive 71)

• is there any update on this? the .ogg of fagnotta's daddyporn keeps getting moved (by the same user) to an .ogv without explanation except to link to an IETF document which is updated and far past my limited knowledge of .ogg files. an old .OGG file of fagnotta's daddyporn worked fine at .rs and is even downloadable from archive.org (last i looked) but it will not play here. i believe i tried the .OGV format and it similarly would not play. pls halp -hipcrime 17:55, 1 December 2021 (EST)

As per line 21 of the TimedMediaHandler README there is no longer support for .ogv files. I have attempted to force handling through ffmpeg to no avail, I'd suggest you download and re-encode the video in a format supported by TimedMediaHandler like mp4 or webm.

when, in the course of human events the zeitgeist changes such that it takes a real man to be a woman, and the same zeitgeist has developed a far lulzier term for women, it becomes necessary to move the shitty ED article on wammen to the much more politically correct and far lulzier term fronthole. plz vote below (plz dont make socks Viril) -hipcrime 19:17, 15 April 2022 (EDT) disregard that etcetera -hipcrime 06:38, 19 May 2022 (EDT)

Big file upload issues

I downloaded this video and compressed it down to 62MB (just below the 66MB upload limit). When I try to upload it here (in case anyone's asking "just upload it to YouTube", YouTube will ban this video, so uploading it to JewTube is not an option), I get "413 Request Entity Too Large" errors. MarioMario456 ^{(Talk to me | My contributions)} 08:18, 15 August 2022 (EDT)

file usage

on file pages, there is a section that lists file usage but files in a gallery are not shown in the filepage usage section. for instance, the following filepages dont show the files in use, despite their presence in Battle of Berkeley#Gallery:

• File:Hairymuff_pepe.jpg
• File:Pepe Damigo.jpg
• File:Moldylocks mutual combat.jpg

File:Eric Clanton.png is also in the article but not a gallery so Battle of Berkeley shows up in the file usage section so i am puzzled. did MediaWiki change something? -hipcrime 15:17, 13 September 2022 (EDT)

This bug has existed for a while. My own solution is to make an edit simply adding "dummy" to the page, then immediately reverting said edit. Then the images will show up on "File usage". MarioMario456 ^{(Talk to me | My contributions)} 16:45, 13 September 2022 (EDT)

i tried it with the Hairymuff pepe file but i didnt use the word "dummy". i hadnt seen this bug until the other day. maybe it's cuz theyre imported using the maintenance script or maybe its a MediaWiki bug. i will poke around on their wiki and see if i can find anything. -hipcrime 23:46, 15 September 2022 (EDT)

File Display Issue

I've successfully restored 3 images, all of which required being turned from .jpg to .png files and were converted using cloudconvert.com (except File:20180605 204224.png).

The images on the page https://encyclopediadramatica.online/Zaiger are either not available at all or display as thumbnail files. While some of the thumbnail files are in the thumb category others aren't. How do I add the thumbnail files to the thumbnail category? Is there a category for missing files?

— Vulpix (talk) 09:50, 1 January 2023 (EST)

"Error creating thumbnail: File with dimensions greater than 12.5 MP". This has happened to me before, just downscale the image. MarioMario456 ^{(Talk to me | My contributions)} 09:59, 1 January 2023 (EST)

minors

tldr we dont need biographies on every stupid kid. H64 (talk)

should we even keep articles about minors that have no significant contribution to (capital letters) Internet Drama? wasn't the lax attitude about that in the zaiger era a huge reason so many minors came here and shat out countless highschool attack articles, making the matter worse? idk maybe it's cos im 10,000 years old now but doxxing kids for being somewhat stupid online is a very low bar for justifying an article's existence. it isn't up to snuff with ED Policy, and is generally not ethical trolling imo and was never core to ED. exceptions to this would probably be JS, MH, and others that spawned actual memes. i'd like to remove some long, old, but stupid and broken articles in Category:Deathnotice that i am torn over. thoughts? H64 (talk) 19:12, 4 February 2023 (EST)

I would disagree that minors should be treated differently than anyone else on ED. Now that beings said some of the article in that category are absolute crap but a few aren't that bad. I'd suggest to keep better ones for now (even if it's old and irrelevant drama). What do you think? Zagan (talk) 19:30, 4 February 2023 (EST)

PSA: Imgur planning purge of old and NSFW content

As I mentioned on MediaWiki_talk:Uploadtext, Imgur is planning a purge of old and NSFW content. MediaWiki:Uploadtext should recommend a different image hosting site. In addition, ED contains a multitude of links to imgur:

• HTTP links
• HTTPS links

Someone might need to upload these images to ED. --Ld3105 (talk) 10:43, 20 April 2023 (EDT)

Template:Spoilers misuse/overuse

The site is littered with "Spoiler" notices created by retards who are apparently unaware of Template:Breakingnews or Template:Goodnews or any of the dozens of other notice templates. And/or the spoiler text is completely irrelevant and/or extremely unfunny.

Some samples of the stupidity in question (literally picked at random from the template's "what links here" page):

• BoA
• Bernie Madoff
• Tsunami
• Tabula Rasa
• Onision
• Rebecca Black
• Mariotehplumber
• The Guardian
• Radiohead
• Sonic . EXE

I'd say only about 40% of articles are actually using this template appropriately. Another 20% or so are dubious (the "spoiler" is for how the IRL story being told by the article ends) and the rest are moronic late additions that should be converted to Template:Breakingnews or removed completely.

If no one objects, I'd like to go over the "what links here" page for the template to try and remove/convert some of the worst misuses.

A warning message in the template page would also be appreciated.

User:Kaizen what line in the server config is causing this madness? MarioMario456 ^{(Talk to me | My contributions)} 16:54, 11 June 2023 (EDT)

Oh yeah, also CP and Jailbait return hard 404s. You can bypass the 404 pages by using redirects:

• For the CP page use Gacha Life
• For the Jailbait page use JB
• For the offended page use Kids on the internet

Don't know why it works perfectly fine with redirects, but not the actual page. 12:03, 21 June 2023 (EDT)
