Did the web crash?

McMan (talkcontribs)

Images are not currently showing up. You're probably aware.

PeaceDeadC (talkcontribs)

This is due to the CDN not yet having received certificates. The images are accessible via HTTP, but the server is blocking them due to security policy.

McMan (talkcontribs)

When will this be fixed?

PeaceDeadC (talkcontribs)

I hope soon šŸ˜‚

For one of the pages I'm making, I found a biography for the law firm he works at. Am I allowed to include that in the personal pages section?

PeaceDeadC (talkcontribs)

Just treat it as a source and cite it properly so everything stays clean and verifiable.

Here's the best way to do it:

Use the Cite web template right in the article text where the info appears. Wrap it in <ref>...</ref> tags so it automatically shows up in the References section at the bottom of the page.

That way it’ll generate a nice numbered footnote and keep your page looking professional.

tips:

  • Fill in as many parameters as you can (title, publisher, date, etc.).
  • Make sure the page you’re editing actually has a References section (required for biographical articles).

Example:

Code

He works as a partner at Example Law Firm.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.lawfirm.com/bio/john-doe |title=Biography of John Doe |publisher=Example Law Firm |access-date=2026-05-10}}</ref>

Result

He works as a partner at Example Law Firm.[1]

Thanks for the clarification. Do you mind explaining how to upload photos in the Draft main space? I did try reading the guides but didn't have much luck

PeaceDeadC (talkcontribs)

There’s actually no such thing as a ā€œDraft main spaceā€. Mainspace (regular articles) and Draft space are two completely separate namespaces. Photos and other files live in their own special namespace called File.

If you want to read more about how namespaces work, here’s a good overview: Help:Namespaces

Downlowhunter (talkcontribs)

I looked through it and couldn't figure out how to upload an image. Could you walk me through that?

PeaceDeadC (talkcontribs)

Sure.

Before you upload anything:

Read the policies first, this is important so your image doesn’t get deleted later:

Make sure the photo you want to upload follows those rules.

How to upload the image:

  1. Go to this page: Special:UploadWizard
  2. Click the big button that says ā€œSelect media...ā€ and choose the image from your computer.
  3. Fill in the required information on the next screens: File name: Give it a clear, descriptive name (follow the PBC:File names guidelines). Description: Add a short description of what the image shows. Other fields as needed (Categories).
  4. Review everything and click ā€œUploadā€.

Once it finishes, you’ll get a link to the new File:Your Image Name.jpg page. You can then use it in your draft like this: [[File:Your Image Name.jpg|thumb|left|Caption goes here]]

I read the article, but it looks like my picture was deleted, did I do something wrong?

Good afternoon, you recently deleted my article for Mack with active duty. This is my first time writing an article, so i would appreciate any clarification. How do I fix the article?

174.179.131.134 (talkcontribs)

Never mind, I read your previous posts, please delete this post if you are able. I can not do it for some reason.

I have failed to find any actor's article that features a biographic rundown. Is it discouraged or is it just that nobody has come around to it? Just wanted to know before adding my own descriptions.

PeaceDeadC (talkcontribs)

Hey, biographies are totally welcome!

The main thing is how you write it. If you're just copying a random paragraph from some blog or unofficial site it's probably gonna get flagged or removed during patrol because we actually do check sources here (see PBC:Verifiability).

Keep in mind that writing a bio for a porn actor is very different from writing one for someone like Meryl Streep on Wikipedia. The sourcing standards and available reliable material are way lower here, so it’s trickier. As long as you make sure an admin/patroller can actually verify what you wrote against proper sources and it doesn’t come across as original research, you should be good.

So no, it’s not discouraged at all. It’s actually encouraged. It’s just that not many people do it well.

Hi, How do you link the Porn Base Data info to a Draft Article?

PeaceDeadC (talkcontribs)

You can’t. Draft articles cannot be linked to PBD item. The draft namespace is unmoderated and intended for temporary content. Templates like Biobox or Preamble are configured to pull data from PBD item only when the article is in the mainspace.

Protege123 (talkcontribs)

Ok, thanks for letting me know.

About the privacy requests of some ex-porn actors

Bluemint (talkcontribs)

Hi admin, thanks for this great encyclopedia! A solution to these privacy requests could be to hide personal details for non-registered users or click-to-view toggles (like "email hide"). Over the years, several ex-models have been complaining that their real-life name was disclosed over here (most recent exampleĀ : pbc.xxx/wiki/Topic:Zc8k1m1kzrnkoqhi)Ā ; i understand their concerns because people grow and change over time, and the ability to forget past experiences is indispensable for well-being. Unless the purpose is to shame them ad aeternam for something they don't feel confident anymore with? Thanks for reading

PeaceDeadC (talkcontribs)

Hello.

At the moment, this issue is not on the agenda of the administrative committee. There is a clear consensus among the administrators on this matter and it is fully reflected in the current PBC policy.

Bluemint (talkcontribs)

It would limit robot indexation on the web, satisfying the requests when they demand it. If this encyclopedia contributes to ex-models being hurt (family, career damage, or even suicide), wouldn't you feel sad and partly guilty for it?

How to use .webp files?

PoliteHistoriographer (talkcontribs)

When trying to insert them, their link appears instead of the animated picture. Is there a special procedure for them?

PeaceDeadC (talkcontribs)

Then what format to use? GIF isn't supported.

I know criteria on this website revolves around quality, but 80s-90s pictures can't rival current ones in resolution and detail. That's why I ask for there to be a more lenient rule regarding vintage media, as it's essential in gay porn history, and it seems to be under-reported here. I also ask because my efforts to upload images of 90s films and actors have been struck down even after enhancing and upscaling pictures (maybe that's not the reason, and if it wasn't, I'd like to hear really why). Thank you.

PeaceDeadC (talkcontribs)

Hey, it's just gotta fit the site's standards so everything stays clean and searchable.

Quick heads-up: our criteria already cut vintage material some slack. For frames/screenshots from those old movies, the minimum resolution is set at DVD quality (720x480) because that's literally what most of those films were mastered in back then (with a few rare exceptions). So it's not like we're holding them to modern 4K levels.

On the upscaling/enhancing thing if you don't have access to pro-level tools, it's honestly better not to upload the edited versions at all. Originals always win priority here, and upscaling can get messy real quick (artifacts, weird textures, etc.). We only recommend it in extreme cases, and even then it has to look natural. Another big thing that trips people up (and might be why your uploads got rejected) is the file naming. We have a pretty strict system to keep things organized and let the site's templates/automation work properly:

For performer headshots: It has to be exactly like Mark_Montana.jpg. No "MarkMontana1.jpg", no random numbers etc.

For movie covers:

  • Front cover: Bro_Buddies_(Falcon_Studios).jpg
  • Back cover: Bro_Buddies_(Falcon_Studios)_back_cover.jpg

You can drop the studio name if the title is super unique, but keep the format clean. It's a simple templating thing. If the names are off, the upload often gets auto-flagged or rejected even if the pics are solid.

Alright, thanks!
