Hey guys Since I made that wiki, how about we discuss it here? Nick and I are going to be the ones editing it for now, because we want things to be consistent. Not that we don't trust you guys with getting the information right, it's just that there's a certain way we want to go about updating this. But that doesn't mean you can't influence us in which articles go up first! Right now, many of the minor characters are stubs, and I started going really in-depth with a few of the main characters. Tell me how you feel about this stuff, I'll try to keep in touch as my busy schedule allows it!

Yay, wiki!
I shall look this over in it's entirety while I kill DD (it looks like the site crashed or something) later.

Hurray! But we might be changing it soon, it got vandalized the day I announced it (by someone who appears to have read the comic, otherwise how else would they have known ) and on top of that I was having trouble actually customizing the site. My friend who's working on the CTV site is going to help us out and move the content to a more secure location. Real shame it had to come to that so soon!

Well, I haven't read every article, but there are two things I would like to mention.
First of all, I think you should get someone to proofread or edit your articles. They are by no means incomprehensible, but having someone read over and edit them will make the site more professional and easier to read.
Secondly, I noticed that some of the articles (Tony's jumps to mind) read less like a wiki and more like CTV: The Novel. That's fine if that's what you're going for or are comfortable with, I just thought I'd point it out to you.
Really good work, though! And that's too bad about the vandalism; some people are just like that, I guess.

I like Doodles have a couple bits of constructive critisism.
For starters a table with a basic bio (age, gender, race, name, ect...) near the top of a characters page.
Also and I must stress this one very very much. Keep story Arc names Consistent. For instance the birthday mini-arc is called "The Birthday" in Mye's page but in Tony's it's just the ending of the Alps-a-Double Arc.

Ah thanks guys! Well, we won't have that problem so much on the newer one, it has spell-check! The problem is it's got two editors (Nick and me) and at any given time we've used his laptop to write up the wiki, and his keyboard is the WORST KEYBOARD EVARRRR! It has this annoying touchpad that zooms the screen in, out, up and down, moves my cursor without warning so I'm trying to type a word then ZING! I'm writing it in the middle of another word 3 sentences above me, and worst of all either refreshes the page or something because twice I lost a writeup because the stupid thing started sending or refreshing or SOMETHING I didn't ask it to do. Oh, the woes! But Wikia didn't have spellcheck on the pages. Sadly, it's a lot easier to use than the one we're moving to! But what you see up there is by no means finished, a lot of things are stubs and we're just working the kinks out of it. Also, we want to be more informal like TV tropes instead of stuffy and formal like wikipedia. So while we want it to look good, I wouldn't say top-notch professionalism is or aim, more like fun As for Arc names though, that's a combo of me not officially naming the arcs and actually naming the sub-stories in the arcs for now. One of Mye's big nights out was intertwined with Charby's second freakout, which are 2 separate stories that don't interfere with eachother much as they go on nearly simultaneously. Alps-A-Double was just a quick name placeholder for when I figure out what to name the arc, since Charby's Bday kinda took a backseat to Yiska's arrival! Just because some of these are huge though doesn't mean they are finalized, and I'll take these suggestions to heart. Oh, and as for the vandalism that happened...let's just say it someone suggested something filthy was in the portal of someone's hat. And worst of all, it wasn't even funny, just really, really pathetic. If they were gonna be a jerk, they could have at least said something funny!
