| Welcome to the Wiki, Sabaceanbabe. Tell us about yourself on [[User:Sabaceanbabe|your user page]]. We have a [[Template:User Data|template]] that lets you put some information about yourself in a nice-looking box.
| |
| | |
| Battlestar Wiki is an encyclopedia on '''officially-licensed stories, aired episodes, and other products of the ''Battlestar'' universes.''' Make sure that your contributions fit [[Battlestar Wiki:What is Battlestar Wiki|Battlestar Wiki's purpose]], avoiding [[BW:NOT|what we aren't]].
| |
| | |
| Our [[BW:SAC|editing standards and conventions policies]] may differ from other wikis, especially in verb tense and voice, capitalization and the like. '''Please read this policy.''' We have [[BW:TUT|an editing tutorial]] and [[BW:MARK|wiki markup codes]] to help you.
| |
| | |
| Our policies on [[w:Original research|original research]] differ from places such as Wikipedia. We allow [[BW:CJ#Derived Content|some research based on aired episode content]], but don't allow [[BW:FANW|speculation that isn't supported from episode events]]. Battlestar Wiki does <u>'''not'''</u> allow [[fan fiction]] articles.
| |
| | |
| Battlestar Wiki's [[Battlestar Wiki:Project List|many projects]] help improve our content. Are you an [[Original Series]] fan? Help out in the [[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project|Original Series Article Project]]. [[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project|Non-English versions of Battlestar Wiki]] also need contributors, and helpers for our [[BW:POD|podcast transcriptions]] are also welcome. New projects should be brought to our [[BW:TANK|Think Tank]], where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.
| |
| | |
| Any questions about an article can be entered on the article's talk page. General questions about the wiki can be brought to [[Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum|the Quorum]] or [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|the administrators' noticeboard]]. To sign your posts on any talk page, just enter four tildes (~<!---->~~<!---->~)!
| |
| | |
| We look forward to your contributions to the community!

| Welcome to the wiki! I immediately associated your name with fanfic, having (I believe) seen you post such work to the skiffy board. We have little to no fanfic info here on the wiki. While directly hosting fanfic would likely be incompatible with the wiki's mission (in terms of the encylopedic part, as well as the fact that postings here should be under the Creative Commons license), what could be useful is an article with links to fanfic. A categorized list of fanfic links seems to be something that people occasionally request on the boards, and the wiki format would be conducive to people keeping such a list current. It could also maybe have brief summaries/reviews if that would be useful. Just a brainstorm. If you're interested in such an undertaking, but need assistance, just drop me a note on my user page. I'm sure any other admin (or the [[User:The Merovingian|Vigilant One]]) would be glad to help. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:46, 6 April 2006 (CDT) | | Welcome to the wiki!

| ::Okay, I *think* I may have this thing figured out.
| |
| ::Thank you for the kind welcome. Yes, I do have kind of a thing for fanfic. ;) If this reply to your message works, I'll wander over to your user page and see if I can manage to post a substantive reply there, in regard to a fanfic article.

| :::I replied [[User talk:Steelviper#Fanfic|over there]], and went ahead and created [[Fan fiction]] in case you wanted to start on it. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 16:19, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

| ::Odd...I thought I was the Dark One. Regardless. SabaceanBabe, we don't add fanfic stuff, yeah, but do you have a website where you have it printed up? Because we do have "fan community links" on the front page (currently titled "fan stuff"), and I think we do post links to fansites and stuff (we just don't archive it). But the more links to stuff the better. We're trying to be the central node of all internet BSG ''information''. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 15:08, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

| :::Hi, Mero! You don't mind if I call you Mero, do you? I do have several sites where I archive my fanfic and where those interested in such a thing can find the works of myself and others. If you'd like, I can see if I can figure out how to post those links to the appropriate article... [[User:Sabaceanbabe|Sabaceanbabe]] 15:50, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

| ::::Yay! Well get a list up and we'll tinker around with it. I guess I prefer "Merv" as that's how they shortened it in the movie. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 17:12, 6 April 2006 (CDT)
