Cylon Centurion

: ''For information on the Centurions from the [[Original Series]], see [[Centurion (TOS)]].''

[[Image:CylonCenturion.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Centurion, Warrior of the Cylon Army.]]

The basic footsoldier of Cylon ground forces, the '''Cylon Centurion''' appears to represent a significant (if not radical) evolution of the [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005]].

Unlike the Model 0005, a single Centurion is more than enough to terrorize a squad of Colonial fighters. They have long, talon-like fingers with multiple joints and a double-barreled automatic projectile weapon mounted on the end of each arm. These make counterattacks by Colonials very difficult since they are effectively [[W:machine gun|machine guns]]. In addition, their fingers can be used as bladed close-combat weapons. They are also capable of fielding larger, more powerful weapons not built into them, such as mortars and missile batteries.

These newer, fiercer Centurions are also more agile than their predecessors, capable of extremely fast [[w:bipedal locomotion|bipedal locomotion]] and jumping over obstacles.

It is unknown whether the Centurions can "speak". It is probable that they communicate with each other via wireless network, making verbal speech unnecessary. They can hear and respond to verbal commands from their leaders, the [[humanoid Cylon]]s ([[Hero]]).

Some versions of the Centurion wield markedly improved armor. For instance, a small number of Centurions wreak havoc after boarding ''[[Galactica]]'' and are destroyed only by explosive rounds ([[Valley of Darkness]]).

The Centurions that [[Helo]] encounters on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] react more slowly, act less intelligently, and are more easily destroyed by small-arms fire. This may be due to the Cylons' reproduction plans for Helo and [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Valerii]]; killing him would render their experiment worthless.

Centurions seen on [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]], on the other hand, display an increased group intelligence, working together to construct an anti-aircraft battery out of parts of their [[Heavy Raider]] ([[Fragged]]).

On [[New Caprica]], the Centurions serve a variety of functions, such as guards, soldiers and executioners.

While primarily mechanical, as opposed to the biomechanical [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raiders]] and [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]], it has been hinted by [[Humanoid Cylon|humanoid]]s during a discussion of the viral [[Lymphocytic encephalitis|infection]] that the Centurions have at least some biomechanical components. Their adverse reaction to the virus, however, could also be a result of the wireless link to the [[Hybrid]], as a [[Number Three]] states that the Centurions started shutting down as soon as the ship's Hybrid became infected ([[Torn]]).

The Centurions are not sentient by design, making them rely solely on programming. This was done (according to [[Sharon Agathon]]) to prevent another rebellion similar to the one the [[Cylon War|original Cylons orchestrated against the Colonies]]. The Centurions are programmed not to harm any of the "[[Significant Seven]]" humanoid Cylon models (except by [[Hero|explicit order]]) and cannot distinguish one copy from another ([[Precipice]]). As with the Seven humanoids, the identities of the "[[Final Five]]" Cylons are not known to Centurions, as several soldiers have fired on these people before, notably [[Samuel Anders]].

"Bullethead", "clanker" and "chrome job" are common Colonial nicknames for these advanced and deadly Cylon constructs ("[[Downloaded]]", "[[Rapture]]", [[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]).

===Cinematic Notes===
The creators of the Re-imagined Series decided that using actors in an elaborate Cylon robot outfit (as was done in the Original Series) would detract from the realism of the series. They decided to make fully computer-generated Cylon Centurions for the new series.

Inaugural director [[Michael Rymer]] wanted the new Cylon warrior to blend in and avoid detracting from the live actor's performances. However, the new designs were eye-catching, and the new robot became a popular addition to many scenes. The virtual Cylons are designed with full articulation in the hands and joints that gives a realistic appearance to the viewer. Initially the new warrior was built with more human movement, such as swaggering. However, the movements did not fit the robotic attitude that the writers wanted to convey and were later discarded.

Actors interact with a life-size cardboard stand-in when filming a scene that will later have virtual Cylon warriors inserted. Some times human actors (production assistants in reality) stand in for the CG Centurions in more complex shots. As revealed in a [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/bts/videoblog/ Video Blog] entry on [[Sci Fi Channel]]'s ''Galactica'' website, stand-ins portraying Centurions are made to wear thick black vests with the word '''CENTURION''' printed across them. Much like the cardboard stand-ins the "actors" are then digitally painted out of the shot and replaced with virtual Centurions.

}}
{{ArchiveTOC}}

== User Amfulay ==

[[User talk:Amfulay|Move is done]]. Please let the user know that the name has been changed by email just in case they don't immediately return. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]]
:Yeah, I saw it. I emailed him already, saying that it will be taken care of. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 17:19, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

== Singular nouns ==

Just so you know, something like Pegasus' is actually allowed in modern English, although it's still pronounced as Pegasus's. The s-less form is a more recent development, and I agree with you that Pegasus's is more consistent. Pegasus', however ugly, is allowed, though. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 15:41, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
:Mhhh, alright. But we use apostrophe-s for its plural here, so it's better to stick to that. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:46, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

== Deletions ==

Please, please, PLEASE do not delete articles stating "per consensus on talk page" or similar, and delete the talk page mere seconds later. Not only is this very confusing for non-sysops who haven't seen the full discussion (e.g. me), it's also policy to leave the talk page intact, per [[Battlestar Wiki talk:Think Tank/Deletion Archives#Formal Vote|this discussion]]. Please restore [[Talk:Threa Sita]] (and move it to [[Talk:Thera Sita]]) and [[Talk:Apple iPatch]]. Also, you might wanna see [[Threa Sita/Thwhatever Sita]] which has slightly more content (you might wanna merge some stuff). --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 06:07, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
:Yeah, I wasn't sure if this policy is officially in effect already. Sorry. :(
:I don't have time now, but I will get to it later. And I left out that content deliberately, because it's just retelling the episode. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 06:12, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

== Citing ==

OK, cool! Just one question though. I've tried using the template you mentioned but the number of the citing wasn't correct. It should have been 13 but came out 6, or something like that. Any idea where I might have gone wrong? {{unsigned|Helo87}}
:The numbering is caused by the ref tags and done automatically. It depends on the order of the references. If you insert a reference somewhere inbetween, the others after it will change, so you can't really influence it the way you want. But there is no need to worry about it, as the exact number of a reference doesn't really matter. Just that it has one. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 18:18, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

== Joe's Bar ==
Thanks for the add on the Crew facilities page on Joe's Bar...I was trying to remember other times it had been used for other things and I was WAY too tired to be thinking about anything!--[[User:RUSnooky|RUSnooky]] 10:14, 10 July 2007 (CDT)
:No problem. :) The refugee camp is technically another use, but I don't think it should go here, as it's for the civilians and not the crew. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:21, 10 July 2007 (CDT)
::I had the exact same thought. If we do that I think we'd have to add the launch tubes as execution chambers too :)--[[User:RUSnooky|RUSnooky]] 11:19, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

==Archiving==
It's good you're adding the ArchiveBot to pages, but you should make sure the archive points to Talk:(insertpagehere), not User_Talk:Serenity. If you don't make sure of that, pages like [[Talk:Crossroads, Part II]] would be put into an archive on your user talk page. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 20:38, 13 July 2007 (CDT)
:EEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!! I copied the code from my page. Thanks for reminding me. Thankfully the bot isn't always on :) --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

== Copy/Paste ==
What'd I do wrong on the copy paste for GuyIncognito? I saw where it dropped a lot of it into the comments section on recent changes, but something else I need to know?--[[User:RUSnooky|RUSnooky]] 10:23, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
:You copied it from your user page, right? Because instead of his user name, yours was there :) Btw, you can just use a the template <nowiki>{{welcome|Username}}</nowiki> instead.
:But it's not as bad as my recent copy/paste job where I accidentally told the archive bot to archive several pages to my own talk page. Fortunately it wasn't running. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:30, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
::Yeah, I just noticed that I was answering his question about fanfiction. What a dumbass I am. Maybe nexttime I write to you I'll sign it Serentiy :)--[[User:RUSnooky|RUSnooky]] 10:32, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
:::Don't worry. Nothing bad happened. Just use the welcome template next time. Less work anyways :) --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:36, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

== Edit ==

I think you need to edit the welcome template some more, I can't do it. It says "by enter fouring tides". Perhaps "by entering four tides" would be better? -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 16:25, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
:Frak! Thanks for telling me. Cursor must have jumped somehow :( --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:28, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

== Wikipedian ==

Um, why am I no longer a wikipedian? [[User:Durandal|Durandal]] 08:33, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:Because we decided that we are [[Category talk:Wikipedians|not really Wikipedians]] and so the category was changed to "Galactipedian". That happened in June already. I just got around to changing the users who added the category by hand and so weren't affected by the automatic change. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:35, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
::Duly noted. Meanwhile, as I happen to be (at least in theory) a wikipedian and a galactipedian, I will be re-adding the former. As a side note, it might be a good idea to acutally use the summary field in such cases, as it cuts down on the "HUH?" moments... TheEverRampant [[User:Durandal|Durandal]] 08:40, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:::Yeah, but it wasn't just you I changed as [[Special:Recentchanges]] shows. So not making an edit summary for all was just laziness :(
:::I understand that you might see yourself as a Wikipedian in the sense as being on the actual Wikipedia, but that's not really what the category was about. It was just users of this wiki and merely used the Wikipedia name. I deleted the category, but I can restore without all the sub categories, so people who think they are true Wikipedians can use it. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:45, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:::: Laziness gets the best of all of us at times.... meh. Meanwhile, the whole reason I ever added that tag was because I thought that was what that catagory was about. Considering my lack of activity recently, amongst other factors, I'm not going to ask/demand that a catagory be created solely on my whim. [[User:Durandal|Durandal]] 08:56, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:::::Well, there was at least one other person who likes the idea of all wikis falling under the "Wikipedia" header. I won't restore all the sub categories, so it's no hassle. That there is some confusion about its meaning just shows that doing something about it was a good idea. And while some people are also Wikipedia editors, not all who added the category are. The intended meaning was more "Battlestar Wiki users". --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 09:03, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

== [[Troy]] --> [[Troy (1980)]] conversion ==

The next time you do such a conversion, it would be nice if you marked the edits as minor and specified <code><nowiki>[[Troy]] --> [[Troy (1980]]</nowiki></code> in the edit summary. That may seem like a lot of work, but if you have any browser at all you'll only have to type it out in full once. This little addition makes these trivial changes much easier to spot in [[Special:Recentchanges]]. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 15:55, 19 August 2007 (CDT)
:See, above. I'm just lazy :(
:But to be honest, once you checked one edit with "diff", you know what the others are all about, because they all have the same changed characters. So I don't see that it's a big mystery. You are right on the major/minor thing though. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:09, 19 August 2007 (CDT)
::And you're right about the summary thing, although most users are just as lazy as you are ;) --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 16:15, 19 August 2007 (CDT)

== Bots and MediaWiki API ==
I saw your comments regarding edit tokens at MW:API and thought you may be interested in the SimpleForms extension which already has the ability to update and create articles from the HTTP request parameters. It doesn't implement edit tokens yet, but does allow you to lock it down so that requests are only allowed from the localhost which means your server-side scripts can update articles and is much easier to implement than a bot. If you prefer bots we have some Perl code for accessing wikis at http://www.organicdesign.co.nz/wiki.pl and there are libs like [http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net PyWikiBot]. See also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Creating_a_bot Wikipedia:Creating a bot]. --[[User:Nad|Nad]] 21:28, 23 June 2007 (CDT)

== Creation of new episode pages ==

Why don't you just copy a previous episode page and change all the relevant stuff (which is just a few numbers and names), instead of using the default template? That's far easier. I was already done with everything when you submitted the page. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:23, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
:Sorry. Feel free to overwrite me. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 15:25, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
::No problem. It's not that you did it. Edit conflicts happen, even if they suck. But you just added the framework without any content. Never mind. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:28, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
:::I just went autopilot and did <code><nowiki>{{subst:Episode Guide}}</nowiki></code>. Didn't think about your suggestion, which is cleverer. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 15:35, 26 June 2007 (CDT)

== Virgon link ==

I linked to the Twelve Colonies article because [[Virgon]] is a TOS/RDM disambiguation. I see your argument, but for that you should use [[Virgon (RDM)]].

Generally though, I think we try to link directly to correct sites and not use redirect links even if they are easier. You did with [[Galactica]] vs [[Galactica (RDM)]] for example. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:59, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
:The point here is that we can be fairly sure that [[Galactica (RDM)]] will always end up linking to the right page, no matter what crazy stunts we decide to pull. [[Galactica]] may not redirect there forever. Same with [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Virgon]] vs. [[Virgon (RDM)]]: the latter is guaranteed to be right and stay right, whereas the former is not. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 06:01, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

== White-on-white edit count ==
I already told Shane about this, he must have forgotten. Its not a CSS error its a bug in the actual extension taking the wrong attributes. If you see him before I do just give him a gentle reminder. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] ([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]]) 11:01, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

== The Mop beckons you ==

I created a [[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for adminship/Catrope|Request for adminship]] for you :) --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 12:26, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

== Template test page ==

Couldn't this be deleted: [[User:Catrope/Testing Template]]? Or at least cleared. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:34, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
:Well spotted. I cleared it, but kept it around for when I need it again. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 07:45, 23 July 2007 (CDT)

== Quotes ==

Hi! Glad you're back. I noticed that on your edits today, regarding quotes, you've been changing many one-line quotes so that a rank and the name of the character appear first. However, that does not match [[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions#Quote of the Day|these standards]]. According to that, for one-line quotes, the quote appears first, followed by a hard line break and ''then'' the rank & name followed by the episode. -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 18:19, 30 July 2007 (CDT)
:Thanks for pointing that out, I never knew that. I just used the 'long' format for all quotes. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 02:53, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
::Well, the rules are a bit overcomplicated for such a trivial thing as quotes. I'm sure there were reasons for making them as they are, but they aren't very obvious. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:08, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
:::I don't mind complicated rules, as long as I know them :P --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 15:28, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
:::: Well said :-) -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 15:35, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, the 'Tomorrow' thing... Don't know how that got in there, my frak up. Thanks for clearing it. -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 03:05, 4 August 2007 (CDT)

== Welcome to the [[BW:USERTYPES|Order of the Mop]] ==

'''You are now empowered with administrator privileges'''. That means you get to [[Mop Boy|mop on a more formal basis]]!

:::::Thanks. The [[frakr:]] interwiki binding currently points to en.frakr.com, which should be wiki.frakr.com. I can't figure out how to change this through [[Special:Interwiki]], or is that a bureaucrat's privilege? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 16:38, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
::::::I saw that myself and fixed it. LOL :-) As for the privs for the interwiki, it's just Shane and I who have those privs for now.

== Template Doc ==

If you are going to output the tmeplate on the template page it self, you gotta add a check to make sure it doesn't add to the categories if it has any.

:I've had fun, thanks. I won't be taking another one for about a year, so my activity should be back to normal shortly. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 06:19, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

== Mile time ==
Yep. It didn't take me 5 hours. (That's actually pretty close to my marathon time, if I recall correctly). Thanks. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:29, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:To verify, I checked your avg. speed, which is 4.8 m/s, which is 17.3 km/h, which is 10.8 mph, which looks like running speed (I had about the same avg. speed when running a quarter mile, so you're obviously the better runner ;)). --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 14:53, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
::The first 800 was faster than the second, I'm pretty sure. I'd probably get a better time with more even splits. I wasn't really training for the mile, though. I had been doing ~20 miles per week at around 9 minutes per mile for endurance/fitness. I guess the mile just seemed like a sprint by comparison. My miles per week has dropped off considerably since the baby, though, so that PR may stand for a while.
::I ran 1/4 mile in high school, usually hovering around 60+ seconds (which is to say, I almost never placed high enough for points). I guess in hindsight I should have been doing 800/mile, but the 1/4 miles definitely "build character". Especially those last 100 yards. Ugh. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:23, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:::1/4 mile in 60-odd seconds? I envy you :P I did it three times and ran 80-odd every time, with pretty good splits each time (and one inverse split :O). But then I'm not much of a sprinter or a runner, I much prefer biking (never biked more than 21 miles in one go though, but I intend to change that). --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 15:52, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
::::Cycling is cool. I'm definitely a runner with a bike, though, and not a cyclist. When I see a hill on foot, I grin and drive harder into it. When I see a hill on bike, I despair (and change gears). I know it's mental, but I'm not sure whether I'll put in enough bike time to overcome that.
::::I was doing a duathlon last summer and smoked a guy in a cycling team kit in the opening run... only to watch him lap me a couple of times before the bike course was complete. But that's... ok. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 17:31, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:::::I'm not really much of a hill biker (there are hardly any hills where I live), but more the type that drives 13 or 14 (depending on wind conditions) mph for an hour and a half straight (never tried longer, also got school to think about :P). I think hills would kill me, though, as they force you to change your speed every 10 minutes, which I probably wouldn't handle very well. The one hill that I do find on my way (a viaduct crossing the highway) I bite through in the same gear as much as possible, but I doubt I could do that with multiple, real, hills. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 05:52, 17 August 2007 (CDT)

Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project

2007-08-25T21:30:41Z

Aerelon: /* More than one non-American English language */

{{project|Translation Project|image=BSG WIKI Globe.png|shortcut=BW:i18n}}

This project deals with converting articles from the ''Battlestar Wiki'' into other languages and how to accomplish that task.

== Overview ==
Presently, all of the content on this wiki is in [[Wikipedia:English language|english]] — American english, to be specific. We have people who view this Wiki from other countries, as far away as Europe and Asia. And likely further.

Therefore, this is a formal effort to recruit mutlilingual contributors and organize these contributors to translate our documents in other languages. Once there is enough translations of a particular translation, the Battlestar Wiki, as a group, will sit down and see if there is cause enough for a full language site with the "battlestarwiki.org" domain name.

Currently we have these sub-language projects with there status.

|}

Every language starts out with at least two sysops approved by the English administrators. Afterwards the wiki must hold their own [[BW:RFA|RFA]] hearings.

If you want to help out with any or all of these language wikis, please goto those sites. Keep in mind that you will have to refer to this Wiki for policy questions.

__FORCETOC__

== How to Begin ==

To begin, create a subpage of the article you wish to translate. For instance, let's say you were going to tackle the article on [[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]] and translate it into Spanish. Here's how you would begin:

* In the search box, type in:
*: The Fleet/'''es''':La Flota
* Press "Go". Select "create this article" option.
* Begin translating the article. Once done, list the article on this page under Articles Translated.

Once there are a growing number of articles, Joe or Shane will then set up an individual BSG Wiki for that language. (i.e. [[:de:Main Page|de.battlestarwiki.org]] for German BSG Wiki, et al.). '''Never, ever, place interwiki links on these subpages.'''

== Articles Needing Translation ==

Obviously our eventual goal is to have just about everything translated. Rather than listing every page here, this can be used to request critical pages for translators to focus on.

These three should be the first ones done.
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Spoiler Policy]] - All languages.
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions]] - All languages.
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad]] - All languages.

There are others to be translated as well that need to be translated before you can even get your own-wiki. Please take a look at the list [[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project/Required Translations for Own Wiki|here]]. If you can prove that you can deicated a full force of at least 5-10 people to translating all the required information, we will create a language wiki without question and import all your work to the language wiki.

It is suggested you start from the oldest episodes and articles first before you more to articles that always under going edits.

There are [[BW:SAC|standards and conventions]] for translating. Please read this before doing anything.

=== Who is admin of these wikis during setup? ===
Joe and Shane will be the two overall admins (B-crats, Sysop, checkuser), but you would have to decided as a group who will represent your language.

== Language Specific Spoiler Checkpoints ==
''Feel free to adjust the title of this section.''
This section is intended to be a handy place to keep track of how far the series has progressed in the particular languages, in order to avoid translating spoiler content over from the English side. Only languages that are translating in conjunction with the ''English Wiki'' are listed here.

== Contributors ==

Contributors to this project may be added here. Please include the languages you would be interested in translating our documents to, as well as your level of expertise in said language.
