Draft:CWCki

Online wiki From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CWCki (/ˈkwɪki/ KWIH-kee), also known as CWC Wiki, is a wiki centered around the discussion, harassment, and doxing of an online webcomic creator originally noticed in 2007 on the Something Awful forums. The website, which is primarily managed by internet trolls, publicly harasses the individual, including publishing their personal information, as well as discussing the contents of their webcomic and other works.

  • Comment: CWCki Forums is Kiwi Farms. It is no more notable under its former name than its current, and thus there is no reason to have a separate article basically duplicating the same information. Primefac (talk) 01:42, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

History

In 2007, users of Encyclopedia Dramatica created an article describing an individual whose webcomic was discovered by users on 4chan.[1][2] In 2008, the users created CWCki, feeling that the Encyclopedia Dramatica page was not detailed or accurate enough.[2] Its name is based on the initials of the individual, while its domain name references their comic. In 2009, CWCki added a discussion forum centered around the individual and the wiki itself.[1][3]

The wiki's discussion forum was deprecated in 2013, and an unaffiliated website called CWCki Forums was created by a third party to replace it later that same year.[4][5][6] The CWCki website database is ran by a user that goes by the pseudonym "Marvin", which is separately from Kiwi Farms, the forum originally derived from the CWCki forum.[1] CWCki received considerable media attention in 2021 following the arrest of the individual in question.[2][3][5][7]

Overview

CWCki primarily serves to document the past and ongoing harassment of the individual in question, as well as the methods and pseudonyms employed to troll and stalk them.[2][3] Before 2013, this harassment was often directly arranged by members of the website's discussion forum,[2] and has included posing as friends and romantic partners,[1][2][3] impersonating the individual directly,[3] arranging dates with the individual as a means to gather information,[2] and encouraging a minor to engage in phone sex with the individual under a pseudonym.[2][3] CWCki publishes articles describing personal details such as the individual's family members,[1] private information such as their home address,[2][3] and information acquired through invasive means such as dumpster diving.[2] Despite the individual coming out as transgender in 2017, CWCki continues to refer to them by their assigned name and gender, and users frequently speculate about various paraphilias that they suspect the individual may possess.[1]

CWCki also documents the webcomic, merchandise, and art works created by the individual in question. Their comic, which combines the video game characters Pikachu and Sonic The Hedgehog into one original character, serves as the basis for the website's iconography.[1][2][3][5]
