| ::What about "Galactipedians"? Anything with "Battlestar" in the name would sound odd. Alternatively, something neutral like "User". Works well; like "male/female user" or "french user". All in all, I never had a problem with the category, but now that people say it, it's a bit strange. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 17:37, 19 June 2007 (CDT)

| :::"User" works, "Galactipedian" works also and amuses me more so my vote is for the latter :) Personally I feel "Wikipedian" does technically refer only to Wikipedia, though by that same technicality "Galactipedian" would be mildly odd, but it's a real nice play on words :) [[User:Marianne|Marianne]] 05:13, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

| ::::Galactipedian has my vote as well. Unfortunately, moving categories isn't possible (yet, there are [http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8685 plans] do implement that in 1.11), so we'd need to delete the old cats, recreate them under a different name (e.g. "Galactipedians (UK)"), and update all links. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 09:16, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

| :::::I like Galactipedian, too. Shouldn't be hard to work up a bot to reclassify that, I'd guess. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:51, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

| ::::::Most of the categorylinks to Category:Wikipedians and friends are template-generated anyway. Just edit the template and you're almost done. It's really just a dozen of people who manually added the category to their user page. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 16:10, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

| :::::::::The only reason I don't like Galactipedia (otherwise its cute)is because ideally I would like to see a merging of Wikipedia with all other wikis into a true "Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchikers_guide] (Douglas Adams) which seems to of come out about the same time that Galactica came out, if and only if... wikipedia itself was distributed (physically) and allowed more than one style. For instance, I think its nuts that wikipedia has to have the same color scheme for all articles. [[User:Philpotomous|Philpotomous]] 01:19, 7 August 2007 (CDT)Philpotomous

| ::::::::::An über-encyclopedia is nice... but not feasible, more due to human constraints than any technical ones. (Wikipedia has problems with quality control, policing vandalism, and the like now... and that's with articles they deem notable enough for inclusion!) As for the color scheme thing... speaking from experience with MediaWiki, it's more a technical issue. I'm sure it could be implemented, but there are so many other things that take precedence, such as a good WYSIWYG editor to make wiki editing easier to name one. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 19:37, 7 August 2007 (CDT)

| I originally deleted the Wikipedian category and all its sub-categories (and changed all people who added it manually), but it seems some people think of themselves as Wikipedia users too, even if that was never the intention of the category. So I restored the main category and added a line to the User Data template about adding it manually. But I don't think it's used very often, so we don't need to bother with all the sub categories. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:57, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

| : Right. No problem with that, I think. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 11:16, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
