Hello editors, welcome to the September 2021 Wiki Update.

Today, we’re very pleased to kick things off with the announcement that WikiProjects are now live.

WikiProjects

As of today, we are officially launching WikiProjects. Based off of a system used over at the English Wikipedia, WikiProjects are team-based projects aiming to work on a group of pages. This may be to fill the gaps on a specific army, subject or time period or to look at improving the quality of existing pages, or for other reasons which we’ll come across later on.

For now, we are starting off with three WikiProjects:

1. The CP Online Army League WikiProject- Focused on the armies that took part in the CP Online Army League [CPOAL], such as Pirates, Ice Warriors, Help Force and more in addition to the league itself.

2. The Army Media WikiProject- Focused on media organisations from throughout army history, such as CPAC, CPAM and CPAH, and lesser known organisations like Club Penguin Army Syndicate [CPAS, in operation in 2018 and 2019].

3. The Article Restoration WikiProject- Focused on an assortment of various pages in dire need of work.

Each WikiProject will have a project manager, who will be entirely in charge of their own WikiProject. For our first three projects the lineup is:

1. The CPOAL WikiProject will be led by administrator LEGOMAN.

2. The Army Media WikiProject will be led by Bureaucrat Dino/CaptainScratch

3. The Article Restoration WikiProject led by Bureaucrat Rowan Alden.

You can read more about WikiProjects here at their dedicated page. Check back there often for regular updates, and join the official CPA Wiki Discord server to join a project. We’ve also added the WikiProjects page to our top navigation under the ‘community’ tab.

FandomDesktop Transition

We are also pleased to announce that the FandomDesktop transition is more or less at an end. Titlecons and infobox skins are fixed [special thanks to users on the official FANDOM server for taking a look at our code and helping us with the infobox skins]. With that done we can now look at resuming work on other projects.

Updates on Projects Previously Announced

Next, we’d like to provide updates on the projects we previously announced back in August.

We’re currently in the process of putting together a HoF with bios. We have some confirmed inductees and one or two other people for consideration, we hope to get this out within the next month with a post to announce inductees. The editing contest is still in the grapevine, we’re considering repurposing it for a holiday period.

We’re continuing to consider how we can put together a quality review process. This is fairly high up on the priority list and will likely be what we work on next.

The history page revamp is still being considered as well, we’ll likely consult with staff in the near future on how to put this together. Because of the scale of this project, we’ll be looking at doing it later down the line. We’ll also be looking at the staff page revamp in the near future.

Dino and I will be reviewing staff applications tomorrow, there’s still time to get one in. Apply here.

That's all the announcements for today. Check back soon for more updates, we hope to see you in the wiki server to help contribute to WikiProjects.

Rowan and Dino

Hello editors, here's the month's update of things on our end. Sorry this is coming to you a little late! A fair amount of information here, so read carefully.

1. Legends List Updates

We will be adding two new organisations to the list of organisations whose Legends inductions we include on our Legends List:

Club Penguin Army HQ [CPAHQ]

Club Penguin Armies Network [CPAN]

This does not currently affect the Legends List, but additions will be made as these organisations make inductions. The wiki is also reviewing it's own plans regarding Legends this year.

2. Transition from Oasis to FandomDesktop

FANDOM, the service the wiki currently uses to host, has announced a mandatory move from the current wiki theme, Oasis, to the newly designed FandomDesktop. This will cause some problems for the custom additions implemented by editors over the years, including almost all of the additions brought to the wiki by my co-bureaucrat Dino.

We are currently looking at how to solve this issue and will have more updates on this in the weeks that follow, but as of now we have no choice but to transition to FandomDesktop and this will occur in the next few weeks for sure, so keep an eye out for that.

3. June's Staff of the Month

This month, we'd like to congratulate our content moderator Cabin for staff of the month. Cabin has been working on the wiki on and off for years and I was very pleased to have him finally join the team just a few months ago. Since, he has become one of our most active staff members and continues to drastically improve the wiki with his work.

Special mentions go to Sidie9 for some high quality editing this month and LEGOMAN for consistently being an invaluable member of the team.

Our staff applications are still open and we will be reviewing them in two weeks, feel free to apply here: https://forms.gle/zYYX9Yx9FuCc6bSd9

That's all we have to announce for now, thanks for reading.

Happy editing,

Rowan and Dino

Wiki Discord

─────────────────────────────────────

Hello fellow editors! I am the sitting bureaucrat Dino, or on the wiki known as CaptainScratch. As many of you are probably aware, I have been with the wiki since late 2019, joining the official editor team in March 2020, and because bureaucrat earlier this year also in March.

Since I've became bureaucrat, I'd like to reflect on some recent events in the year's history for this year.

Note: This is going to be long. You've been warned.

─────────────────────────────────────

At the turn of the year with 2021 beginning, we started with a humble staff. Rowan was the acting bureaucrat, while myself and Cobra were his deputies as both administrators. Only other two active staff members to my knowledge were Battlefield and Lenco. Max had joined the team as an administrator (which he still to this day) as apart of a plan to expand the team.

After a minor vandal attack, resident editor Legoman helped clean up the vandalism all by himself without having the power of rollback. This along with his activity gave him an invitation to join the team as a mod. He has now became a senior moderator at the wiki.

Fast forward a small bit and we have concluded our legend inductions for 2020 and hired former CPAH EP Zambi to become a content mod. The wiki also witnessed Lego reach 1st place on the editor leaderboard.

Little happened since, although as Rowan intended to step down from active service, the torch was passed to me to become the next Wiki bureaucrat. Although there were from concerns from Flen, I can assure you he has full confidence in the newer administration nowadays.

Since then a lot has happened. A new front page, new staff roles, a Wiki Discord, a new pool of staff members (Lartpower, Df, Flav, Sidie, and Cabin), newer Wiki graphics, and general revival and interest in editing on the Wiki again.

I am so proud of our progress so far, and with this being said, I'd like to announce some plans going forward. Nothing radical. Moreover it is more of goals the plan I hope to see the Wiki reach in the coming months under this new bureaucracy.

-

Editing Contest:

Currently we have an abundance of stub pages and really no pages for significant figures. This is why I'm introduction the idea of an upcoming editing contest. How this contest will work is simple. For every stub you will revamp, you will get 2 points, and every new page you make will be 0.5.

Obviously, this doesn't mean spam stub pages to get points. Me and Rowan will be judging this contest and if we find any deliberate page spamming for points, you will earn a harsh deduction. Quantity is good, but quality is most important.

This contest will begin sometime in mid July, so keep your eyes peeled for that. We hope this contest will help us reach the milestone of 1,000 pages before the end of Summer!

2021 Legend Inductions:

As a tradition started back in 2019, the CPA Wiki will be doing a legend inductions in the winter. We, however, acknowledge the mistakes of our previous board in January.

For the upcoming legend inductions, we will respect the legend choices of CP Army Hub. I also look forward to negotiations to possibly broker an agreement with CP Army HQ. As Flen once noted, it is not the job of the Wiki to dictate legends, but to serve as an universal page of which legends are inducted.

As for our own board, it will be assembled in late November and will conduct business in December. If, however, CP Army Hub or CP Army HQ would like to work on an unified legends board with Wiki Bureaucracy delegation to prevent any problems, we will null our plans.

We will regardless respect what who they induct, but I hope we can work to solidify the inductions of legends so a Wikipedia isn't choosing it. We'll also be careful to choose who we pick this time around (as last time we invited some controversial and arguably biased picks to help with the vote). We have already began our candidate vetting process, and further details will come in November.

Quality Review Process:

I think I have mentioned this in other announcements, but similar to how the CP Fanon Wiki works, an quality review system will be coming soon in the fall. More details will come out closer to time.

History Pages Reform:

First things first, we intend to soon release a large codex of events in CPA history in an "unified history page". Obviously detailing the entire history of CPA on one page alone is not ideal, so this will be more of a list of redirects to the actual meat.

It's possibly we may make pages for specific years to detail all events in them but that is still for debate and review. We will make an actual follow-up to this by Rowan or me sometime in the late summer.

On a more serious, committed, and confirmed point, our own Wiki's history page will be getting a major revamp soon.

WikiProjects:

WikiProjects will soon be coming to the Wiki. No set announcement date is prepared yet but it is planned to come in the last week of June or first week of July. I'd like to see everyone hyped for that.

Staff Page Revamp:

A massive revamp to the staff page is coming. This will be a full index of all former staff members, along with a sub page dedicated to being a Staff Hall-of-Fame. The administrator list will be cleaned up, and some other touch-ups will be done.

Second Wave of Staff Applications:

Did you not get accepted for staff or forgot to submit an application? No worry! The Google Form will be cleaned out tonight so people can re-apply. Applications will always stay open, but we will be reviewing again on July 3rd. Applications can be found HERE.

Miscellaneous:

The Club Penguin Armies page will be getting a massive clean up in July or August so it is not so messy and so it's better to navigate. Additionally, new Wiki graphics will be prepared.

The Wiki has no plans as of now to migrate to FandomDesktop. But eventually Fandom will be updating all Wikis to have it. We will be preparing to do a massive theme and CSS overhaul for when that happens.

That is all I have to say. Keep up the good work, CPA Wiki!

Dino

CPA Wiki Bureaucrat

Greetings everyone.

Sorry this is coming to y'all so late, Dino has been very busy sorting other things out so I'll be making this announcement instead.

We have reviewed the staff applications received and we are pleased to announce the inclusion of two new staff members:

Sidie9- Content Moderator

Cabin- Content Moderator

Congratulations to both of you, welcome to the team.

To those of you who were not successful, don't be discouraged. We are still actively looking for staff and we welcome everyone who missed out this time to re-apply in the future after doing more work on the wiki to show us your capabilities.

I'm not sure what current plans are for the wiki staff team as I haven't talked to Dino properly in some time, but I'm sure he'll have a post out himself sometime soon including June's staff of the month among other things.

Congratulations again to our new staff!

Rowan Alden

Guardian Bureaucrat

I was supposed to do this a month power, but time does not favor me. But since I am currently available, I thought I make this wiki update.

Changes to the front-page

• Article of the day will be every week for now as we cannot consistently update that.

• The 'day in cpa history' has been changed to 'week in cpa history'. Same reason as above. We can revert this policy should we get more active staff.

• A new staff of the month has been picked.

Staff Updates

Speaking of staff of the month, I'd like to congratulate Df! Df has done a lot recently, growing from a humble temporary moderator to a key moderator on the team, With his administrative-like skills and experience, I'm glad he became a full-time moderator. Honestly me and Rowan were conflicted with who to give.

Honestly Flav is a very close runner-up, as he's done some nice page renovations and has been more active than Df for the past 2 weeks. So this was definitely hard to pick, but I want to congratulate Df and heavily thank Flav for his hard work.

Zamb has chosen to step down as wiki moderator. We wish him the best. In his place, Lartpower has joined the team as trial content moderator. Make sure to congratulate him.

Major Changes

Firstly, I'd like to announce the first ever public Club Penguin Army Wiki discord. Before, the discord has been more of a private workspace for communication. Cobra as bureaucrat attempted a public discord (with myself as Discord Manager), but it never got anywhere.

If you'd like to join the Wikia's discord, you can find it HERE.

And another big change, I'd like to announce the opening of Wikia Staff Applications! These will be permanent applications and only changed if a new bureaucracy exists.

Applications can be found HERE!

I will be managing the applications, but should you have any questions, you can ask me, Rowan, or Flen (the three bureaucrats). Outsiders are free to apply as well (if they can be active).

Thank you all once again for reading this. This summer we're going to be rolling out some even more major wiki changes again and major public projects for the first time. Hope to see everyone continue to contribute!

Dino

Wiki Bureaucrat

I'm here to request for staff, I have recently been editing page, and I would like to even ADD some more member pages that should be recognize, Even though I am new to CPA, I love the topic and I could talk about it for hours. Anyhow, I have no other way to contact you guys, thank you for reading this.

Greetings Wiki Editors,

I'm going to be brief today, but I have some major announcements. I'll be splitting this into two parts (Technical Announcements and Staff Announcements) for ease of reading:

Technical Announcements

• The front page has gotten a HUGE overhaul by yours truly. You can see by clicking here.

• I did some background and header changes. I'm testing new themes for the wiki. Nothing though is set in stone.

• An quality system is currently working on. It'll most likely be finished and released this April.

Staff Announcements

Df44 has joined the team temporarily to work on Water Viking related pages as a content moderator. Df is an extremely experienced editor from other Wikipedias. If he wishes, he may apply for full staff after his temporary term.

Additionally, I am creating the role of "Senior Moderator". It will serve as our lead content moderators along with being administrators-in-Training. After some consulting with the other bureaucrats, we have decided Legoman will become our first senior mod. Congratulations on the promotion. Make sure not to abuse it.

We are also doing a staff member of the month. For obvious reasons, Lego will be the first SOTM. Another one will be announced mid-April.

We'd also like to welcome content moderator 54x back to moderate activity. Great to see you contributing again.

An official way to apply for content moderator will be coming this April, so stay tuned if you'd like to become a moderator yourself! More staff changes expected to come this April.

Thanks again everyone, and continue working hard!

Dino

Wiki Bureaucrat

In 2016, I joined a cp army called the Night Warriors. There I met this guy his username was bmx_48. I respected and thought very highly of him. I really need to know how he is and how he’s doing. Coincidentally we were from the same hometown and I can’t help but wonder how he’s doing now. I researched a bit about the Night Warriors and it seems he continued to play under the name just “BMX”. While there’s further information about the leader he coexisted with “Clade”. I couldn’t find out where I could contact BMX. please if you could help me reach out to either Clade, maybe he’ll know where BMX is. Or if you know how to contact bmx_48. Please help me 🥺

Tell him cucumber’s looking for him. That is if he remembers me.

Greetings, fellow wiki editors:

I address you today with this announcement. Effectively our Bureaucrat Rowan announced to take a break from the wiki and has made the call to promote me as the wiki's next bureaucrat.

For those who don't know me, I'm Dino. I have been a wiki editor since late 2019. I joined the wiki team in March 2020 as a moderator. During Cobra's brief bureaucracy, he promoted me to Administrator to help deal with technical issues as Flen as away. Since then, I've been a mostly hands-on administrator.

But enough about me,

As our wiki heads into a new age, we'll have to do a lot. While Rowan has said I've done more for the wiki than anyone else in the past years, I'd disagree. Without Rowan, the Wiki wouldn't had gotten to where it is today.

Before he became a bureaucrat, people either considered this a poorly maintained army library or a puppet of the reigning news organization. Rowan helped the wiki gain independence and relevancy. He was the top editor until January of this year.

And let's not forget Flen (for his technical support and seniority), Feey (for revolutionizing the wiki), Jayden (for being its guardian essentially for the past 8 years), Bloodpanther (for the colored army boxs and other technical stuff), and Cobra (for documenting a ton of CPPS history.)

With that humble jabber out of the way, let's continue the advancement of our Wikipedia. While I'm on a break due to education and health from general armies, the wiki waits for no one (and hasn't since.)

Later this week I'll be announcing some new wiki projects that I invite all editors to help out with. Cheers!

Dino

Wiki Bureaucrat

Hello fellow editors! For those who are unaware, I am CaptainScratch. I currently serve as the wiki's technician alongside our Bureaucrat Flen.

I don't normally like using our forum feature but I'll be using it for today's announcement.

For the past few days, me alongside our wiki team have introduced the follow wiki changes:

• Some pages such as the Nacho Army page and the Club Penguin Pirates page now have different display title. Some armies such as Doritos will be receiving this new update soon.

• We're currently working on sidebar and navigation boxes for specific pages. RPF currently has one (which we're still updating). We plan to work on ones for ACP too.

• Our front page has gotten a new clean up. Make sure to check that out.

• Due to our old header image no longer working, a new one has been added. We don't plan on redesigning the whole wiki at the moment but we might in the future.

• Community JavaScript is now enabled after submitting a request to Fandom's support team.

• We now have title icons. Like Wikipedia and other popular wikis such as the Star Wars Wiki, Avatar Wiki, and YouTube Wiki, we have icons in the top right of pages now to display information. Certain armies currently have them along with lock icons and some staff icons. More to come!

• Our side-rail is now updated. It is more polished up and has an outline now. You can see on the right side of pages.

A lot of more changes are coming. Continue to contribute as much as possible, editors! Best of luck!

The CPA Wiki Staff

Hello people.

I'm pleased to announce today the results from community voting and how these results will affect the inductions process.

First, I'll briefly discuss what means what for Major Legends.

If a major nominee got 40% or more of the overall vote, they will get one extra vote.

If a major nominee got 60% or more of the overall vote, they will get two extra votes.

We have 9 members on the board. To be awarded Major Legend, you must get the majority vote [5 votes]. Those who gain a vote at this stage will only need 4 votes from the board if they got 50% or more on the overall vote. The inductees who got 65% of the overall board will only need 3 votes to be inducted as Legend.

With that being said, here are the results.

Until the next update,

The CPA Wiki Staff

Hi all,

This is just a brief announcement that the community voting phase is now going live! We'll be contacting armies over the next few hours with the google forms to vote through.

Please keep in mind that:

1. Votes are limited to 1 per army.

2. The deadline is 27th January at 3pm EST.

As ever, updates to follow.

The CPA Wiki Team

Hello Armies.

Today we have some further information to share on our Legends Board.

The board will be carried out in six stages.

Stage 1 [Current Stage]- Internal Nominees Discussion

At the moment, discussions are being had internally about who deserves to be nominated for Major or S/M 2020 Legend. We're using the original CPAH list as a base and adding from that.

Stage 2- Legends Board Additional Nominees Discussion

Discussions with the Legends Board about additional nominees.

Stage 3- Release of Nominees List, Board Members and Community Voting!

At this point, the full nominees list will be released, the Legends Board members will be announced and we are going to have a community voting stage! Well, in a way...

The wiki was never intended for mass community voting, so we will instead be contacting army leaders and offering them the chance to vote on the nominees and the ability to nominate members of the community not included on our list. One vote per army. At the moment we're planning on contacting more than 20 armies!

Community voting's effect on the results hasn't been discussed yet and will be announced later.

Stage 4- Legends Board Nominees for Induction Discussion

This stage will take the longest as the board discusses all nominees and evaluates who deserves to be inducted by our board.

Stage 4.5- Update on Community Voting

An announcement will be made during this stage on the status of Community Voting.

Stage 5- Legends Board Votes on Nominees

All board members will vote at this stage on nominees. Community vote results will be accounted for here as well.

Stage 6- Results Released

We don't yet have an ETA on how long it will take to reach this stage, but we hope to have formed the board by the end of the week.

Keep an eye for more updates!

The CPA Wiki Team

Hello everyone, it's the CPA Wiki team here.

It's certainly been a turbulent few weeks! We have some announcements to make in light of recent events:

1. As of 11th January 2021, we have decided to retire the Partnerships program. It was a great way of engaging with communities within armies but in the current climate we've decided to cut all ties with other organisations. We wish CPAH, CPAWL and CPAPP luck in their future endeavours and still look to co-ordinate efforts in the preservation of CPA history with them in future.

2. In light of recent concerns, worries and general uncertainty about potential conflicts of interest, we have decided to hold our own Legends board for 2020. CPAH's board will still be recognised on the CPA Wiki and it might be our board produces similar or identical results to theirs, but we feel that we have a duty to conduct our own independent board.

3. We are adding Zuke to the 2020 Legends section under his CPAL induction and returning Eden to the 2017 Legends section as he was inducted at the time. This may be temporary as we will still be voting on him for 2020 Legend and if voted in he will be contacted and given the option of having his 2017 restored or having the 2020 instead.

4. We will get around to bios soon! They're low priority until we get the new legends board done however.

5. The team itself is a bit of a mess at present with people coming and going. We're hoping to work out who's still in Armies and who left during the chaos in the next few days.

That covers everything for now.

These are difficult times, both in the real world and here in Armies. Stay safe everyone.

The CPA Wiki Staff

Please be aware that if you're having a prominent rank on the Wikipedia, your account is having a strong password. There have been attempts to vandalise and hack into this Wiki before, and the same people might try doing it again.

Hi people,

After having discussions with Flen and a conversation with Lord Pain directly, the wiki has decided to unpartner with CPAPP. We felt it was necessary to discuss why, hence the reason for this post.

Our investigations into CPAPP posts have led to a great deal of concern that CPAPP is an organisation that promotes values that have no place in armies today, as well as allowing and encouraging the presentation of opinions as facts and factually incorrect information being posted to the CPAPP website. Furthermore, we also investigated the article apparently written by Mchappy for CPAPP. This is what I'll start with.

It has become apparent that this article, supposedly written by Mchappy, clearly wasn't written by him, going by Mchappy's own claims, as well as this confession from Lord Pain himself.

Furthermore, we also had concerns to raise over this post, claiming Icy Fresh, founder of the CPA back in 2006, founded the army before Oagalthorp rather than the 3 days after previously believed. This claim was quickly proven false by our research. Whilst it is true that the CPA website was in use before September 29th [ACP's founding date], the screenshot below definitively proves that the army itself was only founded on October 1st/2nd, a few days after ACP as originally believed.

The usage of "in the first night" on the second post in this screenshot clearly shows that the CPA was founded either October 1st or 2nd 2006. You can't have a day active as an army before the "first night," completely disproving this article.

This revelation led us to strongly question the moderation of content by CPAPP's upper management.

I had a conversation with Lord Pain on both of these subjects. I'll share part of our DMs.

I believe this should highlight the crux of the problem. We can't in good conscience support an organization that finds the impersonation of other members of the community acceptable so long as it provides said organization content. We don't consider this fair to the people impersonated [Mchappy] nor fair to the community that they should be misled in such a fashion.

Personally, as a strong believer in human rights and by extension freedom of speech, I have a great deal of respect for CPAPP at base as an organization dedicated to promoting and providing a platform for freedom of speech and before doing my own research was strongly opposed to unpartnering on this basis.

However, unless CPAPP's upper management changes their attitude substantially, we will not be partnering with them in the immediate future.

In other news, we will finally add bios for the 2020 Legends inducted by CPAH in the next few days. Apologies for the delays on this.

We are also discussing holding some votes of our own on one or two Legends whom we feel may deserve the title but weren't awarded it for understandable reasons by CPAH. More on this to follow depending on what happens.

Happy editing, updates to follow,

Rowan/Annon, on behalf of everyone here at the CPA Wiki team.
