Wikipedia has '''related sites''' for non-encyclopedic content.

==Related sites==
Battlestar Wiki is for prose articles about subjects considered [[encyclopedia|encyclopedic]] (along with some topics that would typically be found in an [[almanac]]), as well as content that could be considered [http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html Lurker's Guide-like] or words that you could find in a [[Wikipedia:dictionary|dictionary]].

Any article that simply defines a word, or short phrase, as you would find in a typical [[dictionary]], and that isn't considered a ''Battlestar'' unique word or phrase (such as [[Red Line]], [[volton (TOS)]], or [[frak]]) and cannot be expanded into an encyclopedic entry, should be contributed to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia]]'s sister project, [[Wiktionary:Main page|Wiktionary]].

Original source text, such as from a [[Wikipedia:public domain|public domain]] book that you want to post to make it more accessible, should be contributed to one of Wikipedia's other sister projects, [[Wikisource:Main page|Wikisource]].

For a list of all related projects, see the [[Meta:Complete list of Wikimedia projects|Complete list of Wikimedia projects]].

===Linking to the related sites===
Say you have an uncommon word in an article that you write, that you think people might not understand -- and it is not ''Battlestar'' specific. So you're tempted to try and link to it on [[Battlestar Wiki]], but there isn't enough to say about that word to make a real encyclopedia entry.

Link to its Wiktionary entry. (If Wiktionary doesn't have it yet, do everyone a favor and add it, even if it's just a brief definition. Other Wiktionarians will help flesh it out.)

Instead of the whole URL, you can use a wiki link similar to a regular Wikipedia link but with a special prefix. For example,
:<tt><nowiki>[[wiktionary:house]]</nowiki></tt>
will link to the Wiktionary definition of the word "house". In your article it will appear as:
:[[wiktionary:house]]
you can hide the "wiktionary:" part by adding a "pipe" (vertical bar) character:
:<tt><nowiki>[[wiktionary:house|]]</nowiki></tt>
as explained on the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial (Wikipedia links)|previous page]], so that the result is:
:[[wiktionary:house|house]]

The other projects have similar shortcuts. For more examples, see [[Wikipedia:How to link to Wikimedia projects|How to link to Wikimedia projects]].

==Experiment==
Try it! Here's the [[/sandbox/]] for this page.
