==Marvel Comics==

Marvel Comics began its adaptation of Galactica with ''[[Marvel Super Special 8: Battlestar Galactica|Super Special 8]]''. Super Special was a magazine format comic book that featured different characters or adaptations each month. Issue 8 was produced just in time for the launch of the TV series in September 1978. The multimedia Marvel Multiverse [http://www.marvunapp.com/master/earthteaz.htm#numbered catalogs] the continuity of the comics as Earth-78917, a reference to the original TV series' airdate.
[[File:Marvel2.jpg|thumb|right|Marvel Comics Series - ''Issue 2'']]
The Super Special adaptation was derived from an interim script of "[[Saga of a Star World]]," and some of the differences in the story are evident. This adaptation was also released in a tabloid format by both Marvel Comics and Whitman Comics.

Spurred on by the success of this adaptation, Marvel began a monthly comic series that ran from 1978 through 1980, and lasted a total of 23 issues. The first three issues, titled ''[[Battlestar Galactica (1979 Comic)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', ''[[Exodus!]]'' and ''[[Deathtrap!]]'' respectively, consisted of a longer adaptation of ''Saga of a Star World,'' taking much of the art from the Super Special adaptation and expanding it by several pages.

The adaptation of the series continued in next two issues entitled ''[[Into the Void]]'' and ''[[A Death in the Family]]'', which chronicled the story from the two part television episode "[[Lost Planet of the Gods]]".

Beginning with ''[[The Memory Machine]]'', Marvel began publishing all new stories based on the characters in the series. From this point, the story began to depart from what was depicted in the series. According to letters pages within the publication, Marvel's contract with Universal Studios specifically did not allow them to use anything from the television series that followed "Lost Planet Of The Gods".

In the storyline that unfolded, a good deal of the comic took place in the magnetic void which the fleet first encountered in the TV episode "Lost Planet of the Gods". In the end of the TV episode, the fleet moves back into normal space, leaving the void behind, but in the comics the rag tag fleet remains in the void beginning in issue #4, with the fleet finally returning to regular space in issue #14. (This makes placing the episodes within the span of the TV series difficult, since much of the action could be surmised to have taken place between "Lost Planet of the Gods" and "Lost Warrior".)

In terms of tone, many of the Marvel comics had horror elements, a theme that was visited sparingly in the TV series. An incomplete list of monsters from the comic series would include a space vampire (issue #9), a carnivorous planet (issue #10), alien vermin (issue #15), a crewmember who transforms into a red ape (issues #17 and #18) and a monstrous shapeshifter (issue #21). Even the menacing and relentless Cylon Mark III in issue #16 owes as much of his origin to horror elements as he does to science fiction. Taken as a whole, Marvel’s Galactica is somewhat darker in tone than the series, but this not-so-subtle paranoia is arguable truer to the initial premise of the series than were some of the latter episodes of the television program.

Notably, the writers of ''Galactica'' comic were quite willing to remove key characters from the dramatic mix for periods of time. From issues #6 to #12, Commander Adama is placed within a machine to help him remember the ancient writings he briefly saw on Kobol and, although we do spend some time in his dreams, he is effectively removed from commanding ''Galactica'' for several issues, which of course sets up its own dramatic tension.

Another character who leaves the series for awhile is Starbuck, as part of perhaps the most effective story arc in the series. In this plotline the fleet stumbles upon Scavenger World, the dominion of the female space pirate Eurayle, who makes a deal to spare the Colonials if she can keep Starbuck at her side. The interactions between Starbuck and Eurayle are memorable, and the conclusion of the storyline, with a tremendous battle in issue #13, is a satisfying conclusion. At the end of the tale, Starbuck remains with Eurayle, and the fleet moves on without him, which of course sets us up for his triumphant return in issues #19 and #20.

Unlike both television series, ''Galactica'' comic actually had a planned ending, with a series of plot devices being wound up in the final two part story of issues #22 and #23. In the course of solving a mystery, Lieutenant Jolly finds adventure and romance and helps in figuring out the long sought coordinates for Earth. A tongue in cheek adventure ably drawn and scripted by Walt Simonson this plotline provided a strong end for a memorable series.

===SuperSpecial Adaptation===

''[[Marvel Super Special 8: Battlestar Galactica]]''

While not a great adaptation, what makes this comic interesting is that it is based on an early script of the pilot, and thus there are several distinct differences.

==Look-In Magazine==

''[[w:Look-in|Look-In Magazine]]'', a UK based publication for children, published a serialized comic strip featuring ''Galactica'' from October 20, 1979 through October 11, 1980. The four untitled storylines spanned 52 issues, and contained 13 two page chapters per storyline. A very solid composition throughout, this incarnation of the rag tag fleet has been largely overlooked.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.geocities.ws/juniortvtimes2006/battle.htm|title=John's Look-out: A Guide to Look-in the Junior TV Times|date=|accessdate=30 December 2007|last=|first=|format=|language=}}</ref>

==Grandreams Annuals==

The UK company Grandreams came out with two ''Battlestar Galactica'' hardcover annuals, which contained short text and comic book stories. Far inferior to the Look-In strips, these comics were aimed primarily at children.

==Maximum Press==
[[File:mp war of eden 1.jpg|thumb|right|''War of Eden 1'']]
For a very long time, ''Battlestar Galactica'' did not appear in comics. Finally, in July of 1995, Maximum Press (a [[Wikipedia:Rob Liefeld|Rob Liefeld]] imprint) published a miniseries that continued ''Galactica'' mythos, and ignored the storyline from ''[[Galactica 1980]]''. This miniseries is also known as the ''War of Eden''.

This series was popular enough that it encouraged Maximum to keep going, and soon more miniseries appeared. ''Apollo’s Journey'', ''The Enemy Within'', and ''Starbuck'' all published as three issue series in 1995 through early 1996. ''Journey’s End'', the final four issue series, broke many Galactica conventions. For example, there is a depiction of ''Galactica'' traveling back through time back to the destruction of the Colonies. This was not to last, however, and after the publishing of a compendium volume in early 1997, Maximum announced it would cease publishing comics based on ''Battlestar Galactica''.

==Realm Press==
In 1998, Realm Press brought ''Battlestar Galactica'' back to comics again beginning with their ''Battlestar Galactica Search for Sanctuary'' single issue special. Other one shots were subsequently published. Later, Realm introduced a monthly comic titled ''Battlestar Galactica Season 3''. This series only ran for three issues before it was canceled, and shortly thereafter Realm abandoned the project altogether.

The Realm series was notable for its use of airbrushed art and its attempts to remain faithful to the look and feel of the Original Series.

==Dynamite Entertainment==
In May 2006, Dynamite began its forays into ''Battlestar Galactica'' comics with releases within the [[Re-imagined Series]] universe. The debut series of comics are set within the framework of the show and were set between the episodes "[[Home, Part II]]" and "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]".

Beginning in late September 2006 Dynamite began releasing an [[Original Series]] [[continuation]] series.

In October 2006, a miniseries focusing on the Re-imagined Series character [[Tom Zarek]] was released, focusing on Zarek's past.

In September 2009, a miniseries focusing on a "re-imagined" ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' was released. A sequel was scheduled to be released in 2012 written by [[Dan Abnett]] and [[Andy Lanning]], jumping it 33 years later<ref>{{cite_news|first=Jeffrey|last=Renaud|url=https://www.cbr.com/lanning-flashforwards-battlestar-galactica-1980-to-2013/|title=|publisher=CBR.com|page=|date=12 November 2012|accessdate=9 April 2020|language=}}</ref>, but the series never materialized. Instead, Abnett and Lanning began work on what would be known as the 35th anniversary comic run based on the Original Series (with some 1980 elements), entitled {{comics|vol2}}.

Other brief comic book mini-series, numbering 4 to 5 issues, came and went for both the Original and Re-imagined installments over the next decade. Some experimental re-interpretations and one-off additions were released in 2014 for the Original Series, namely ''[[Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880]],'' ''[[Battlestar Galactica Annual 2014]]'' and ''[[Li'l Battlestar Galactica]]'', not to be repeated thereafter in lieu of going back to mini-series events that followed the post-"[[The Hand of God (TOS)|The Hand of God]]" adventures of the [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|rag-tag, fugitive fleet]].

Dynamite's final releases for ''Battlestar Galactica'' culminated into a 40th anniversary release covering the Original Series saga, ending in 2019. No other installments have since been announced.

As with other comics, storylines from previous series (in both the Original and Re-imagined series) were either ignored or directly contradicted with what came after.

In 2018, science fiction author [[Peter David]] wrote a five issue tale entitled ''Battlestar Galactica vs. Battlestar Galactica'' depicting a crossover between the two disparate versions to celebrate their different anniversaries: the 40th anniversary of the [[Original Series|original ''1978'' series]] and the 15th anniversary of the [[Re-imagined Series|2003 series developed by Ronald D.

The six issue series, outside of the obvious fantastical nature, feature a plethora of visual incongruities and detail deficiencies relating to both series over its limited run.

== An old question about hits counter from Enabran ==

Hi Joe, [[user:Enabran|Enabran]] asked some time ago if it is possible to retrieve the hits counter. I tried to install a stable version of [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HitCounters Extension:HitCounters] on the [[:fr:|French wiki]]. It seems to work. You'll need to run an <tt>maintenance/update.php</tt> after installing the extension with the following in the <tt>LocalSettings.php</tt> file

wfLoadExtension( 'HitCounters' );

It should keep the old values. As you wish, but I think there will be a happy, happy editor ;-) Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 13:57, 3 June 2020 (PDT)

== TOS/G80 unproduced scripts ==

Greetings fellow Colonial!

I'm interested in assisting in regards to the summary pages of unproduced scripts of the 1978 series and its follow-up in 1980, but there are a few problems in this regard. First, it appears the wiki hasn't been updated in quite some time regarding these scripts (so I'm unsure if this is an active project or not). Second, the link to the Battlestar Pegasus page is dead. I have a few scripts printed out from the '78 series a few years ago, but I'd need access to the other scripts (especially The Beta Pirates, which I've wanted to read for many yahrens). Is this wiki still active, and can I assist? {{unsigned|Ninth Lord of Kobol}}

: Hello! Yes, the wiki is still somewhat active. I mostly maintain the English one at this point, with assistance of two other admins: [[User:Enabran]] of the [[:de:|German language Wiki]] and [[User:LIMAFOX76]] of the [[:fr:|French language Wiki]].

: As to the scripts, I have digitized PDF copies of the ones I've collected over the yahrens. I just need to re-upload them again (I'll upload them to the Wiki directly and update the links to the specific episodes). I'll start with "[[The Beta Pirates]]" and go from there. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:22, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

== Battlestar Wiki's new skin ==

Hi Joe, I hope you're well. I discovered the new skin you implanted for BW. Is that normal if everything is still in a white background even if you modified the css page to adapt? Thanks for your answer. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 06:24, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

: Howdy! Things are OK -- I hope things are good for you! For the background, it is adaptable, and there are three options if you click on the wheel/gear icon on the upper menu bar: Auto, Light and Dark. You might be on "light" or "auto," so if you click on Dark you should get the "darker" red theme.

: I'm trying to figure out what to do for the "light" theme (so I've left it alone for now), and might try something that invokes the cream/light brown paperwork from the series.

: I'm tweaking the theme as I go as well, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions, let me know. Cheers! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 23:38, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
:: Things are good for me as well, thanks! Regarding the skin, I chose the Dark theme, yet it is still white. Did I miss something in my parameters??
:: Small update, it seems that the dark and light themes are linked to the browser main color theme. I managed to change it in Edge and Firefox but I had to purge the cache. If I switch the browsers' theme back to light, it comes back to the light mode. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 20:54, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

::: I loved the old cream-coloured theme developed by Paul Gu. I don't think that theme would work in the current versions of Media Wiki, though. But if you have the CSS of that light theme, maybe we can use the same colours in the current Citizen based theme? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:28, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
: For the "light" version, I was aiming towards the cream color, to mimic the paperwork in the series. We had something like that for the "Case Orange" update blog back in the day. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 03:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

== Old WikiFrakr content and other language wikis ==

WiiFrakr had some fantastic and hilarious content back in the day. Sadly this was lost in time. Is there a way to restore those pages back if a backup is available? Maybe instead of a separate sub-wiki, those pages can live under a namespace on the English Wiki.
Similarly, the other language wikis which existed are lost. Is it possible to restore them too? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
: I believe a backup is available, but I haven't gotten to it, as I haven't prioritized it.

Hi. I saw you posted on his talk page last month and I just wanted to tell you he has been permabanned from dozens of wikis for disruptive editing and emailing users about wiki bans.

Hi,

Just added images from "[[Fragged]]" concerning Quorum delegates, at least the ones that correspond to those from "[[Colonial Day]]".

:Awesome Corey! I expect there to be discontinuities as production didn't keep tabs on these types of things, particularly as the show went on.

== Clarification ==

:To clarify, I am not the user behind the IP address in question, nor do I have any personal connection to it. My insistence stems from a concern that the block may be causing '''collateral damage''' by preventing legitimate, good-faith contributors from a shared range or location from participating. I believe it is important to ensure our blocking policyfocuses on current protection rather than indefinite punishment, especially if the original issue is now outdated. My only goal is to support '''consistent enforcement''' and the growth of the wiki by making sure we aren't unnecessarily turning away potential editors.

==Marvel Comics multiverse categorization==
Greetings, Mr. Beaudoin Jr.,

I come here on behalf of the Marvel fandom, seeing as [https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Earth-78917 this] occurred. The source comes from Marvel editorial deciding on designations.

How would one put the numbering and sourcing on the Marvel Comics page or any adjacent comic article?

So say we all,[[User:Aldo012345|Aldo012345]] ([[User talk:Aldo012345|talk]]) 11:45, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

:Hi Aldo,
:Thank you for this new information. It's fine to put this in the notes section of each issue, seeing as it is an official designation. I would be careful to note that this is something that was done after the fact, and not during the run of those comics. [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 17:40, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
::Hello, Mr. Beaudoin Jr.,
::It is from a practical point of view, respectfully suggesting, that it's better to place the Earth designation in just the Marvel Comics page, or one page in like manner.
::Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. I'm also, as we speak, working on relinking Galactica things on the Marvel Database to this wiki.
::Cheers,

:::I think that’s fine. It just seems to be an internal designation that hasn’t really been used elsewhere. You might know more there than I would.

== An old question about hits counter from Enabran ==

Hi Joe, [[user:Enabran|Enabran]] asked some time ago if it is possible to retrieve the hits counter. I tried to install a stable version of [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HitCounters Extension:HitCounters] on the [[:fr:|French wiki]]. It seems to work. You'll need to run an <tt>maintenance/update.php</tt> after installing the extension with the following in the <tt>LocalSettings.php</tt> file

wfLoadExtension( 'HitCounters' );

It should keep the old values. As you wish, but I think there will be a happy, happy editor ;-) Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 13:57, 3 June 2020 (PDT)

== TOS/G80 unproduced scripts ==

Greetings fellow Colonial!

I'm interested in assisting in regards to the summary pages of unproduced scripts of the 1978 series and its follow-up in 1980, but there are a few problems in this regard. First, it appears the wiki hasn't been updated in quite some time regarding these scripts (so I'm unsure if this is an active project or not). Second, the link to the Battlestar Pegasus page is dead. I have a few scripts printed out from the '78 series a few years ago, but I'd need access to the other scripts (especially The Beta Pirates, which I've wanted to read for many yahrens). Is this wiki still active, and can I assist? {{unsigned|Ninth Lord of Kobol}}

: Hello! Yes, the wiki is still somewhat active. I mostly maintain the English one at this point, with assistance of two other admins: [[User:Enabran]] of the [[:de:|German language Wiki]] and [[User:LIMAFOX76]] of the [[:fr:|French language Wiki]].

: As to the scripts, I have digitized PDF copies of the ones I've collected over the yahrens. I just need to re-upload them again (I'll upload them to the Wiki directly and update the links to the specific episodes). I'll start with "[[The Beta Pirates]]" and go from there. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:22, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

== Battlestar Wiki's new skin ==

Hi Joe, I hope you're well. I discovered the new skin you implanted for BW. Is that normal if everything is still in a white background even if you modified the css page to adapt? Thanks for your answer. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 06:24, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

: Howdy! Things are OK -- I hope things are good for you! For the background, it is adaptable, and there are three options if you click on the wheel/gear icon on the upper menu bar: Auto, Light and Dark. You might be on "light" or "auto," so if you click on Dark you should get the "darker" red theme.

: I'm trying to figure out what to do for the "light" theme (so I've left it alone for now), and might try something that invokes the cream/light brown paperwork from the series.

: I'm tweaking the theme as I go as well, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions, let me know. Cheers! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 23:38, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
:: Things are good for me as well, thanks! Regarding the skin, I chose the Dark theme, yet it is still white. Did I miss something in my parameters??
:: Small update, it seems that the dark and light themes are linked to the browser main color theme. I managed to change it in Edge and Firefox but I had to purge the cache. If I switch the browsers' theme back to light, it comes back to the light mode. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 20:54, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

::: I loved the old cream-coloured theme developed by Paul Gu. I don't think that theme would work in the current versions of Media Wiki, though. But if you have the CSS of that light theme, maybe we can use the same colours in the current Citizen based theme? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:28, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
: For the "light" version, I was aiming towards the cream color, to mimic the paperwork in the series. We had something like that for the "Case Orange" update blog back in the day. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 03:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

== Old WikiFrakr content and other language wikis ==

WiiFrakr had some fantastic and hilarious content back in the day. Sadly this was lost in time. Is there a way to restore those pages back if a backup is available? Maybe instead of a separate sub-wiki, those pages can live under a namespace on the English Wiki.
Similarly, the other language wikis which existed are lost. Is it possible to restore them too? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

:To clarify, I am not the user behind the IP address in question, nor do I have any personal connection to it. My insistence stems from a concern that the block may be causing '''collateral damage''' by preventing legitimate, good-faith contributors from a shared range or location from participating.

My only goal is to support '''consistent enforcement''' and the growth of the wiki by making sure we aren't unnecessarily turning away potential editors.

==Marvel Comics multiverse categorization==
Greetings, Mr. Beaudoin Jr.,

I come here on behalf of the Marvel fandom, seeing as [https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Earth-78917 this] occurred. The source comes from Marvel editorial deciding on designations.

How would one put the numbering and sourcing on the Marvel Comics page or any adjacent comic article?

So say we all,[[User:Aldo012345|Aldo012345]] ([[User talk:Aldo012345|talk]]) 11:45, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

:Hi Aldo,
:Thank you for this new information. It's fine to put this in the notes section of each issue, seeing as it is an official designation.

== An old question about hits counter from Enabran ==

Hi Joe, [[user:Enabran|Enabran]] asked some time ago if it is possible to retrieve the hits counter. I tried to install a stable version of [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HitCounters Extension:HitCounters] on the [[:fr:|French wiki]]. It seems to work. You'll need to run an <tt>maintenance/update.php</tt> after installing the extension with the following in the <tt>LocalSettings.php</tt> file

wfLoadExtension( 'HitCounters' );

It should keep the old values. As you wish, but I think there will be a happy, happy editor ;-) Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 13:57, 3 June 2020 (PDT)

== TOS/G80 unproduced scripts ==

Greetings fellow Colonial!

I'm interested in assisting in regards to the summary pages of unproduced scripts of the 1978 series and its follow-up in 1980, but there are a few problems in this regard. First, it appears the wiki hasn't been updated in quite some time regarding these scripts (so I'm unsure if this is an active project or not). Second, the link to the Battlestar Pegasus page is dead. I have a few scripts printed out from the '78 series a few years ago, but I'd need access to the other scripts (especially The Beta Pirates, which I've wanted to read for many yahrens). Is this wiki still active, and can I assist? {{unsigned|Ninth Lord of Kobol}}

: Hello! Yes, the wiki is still somewhat active. I mostly maintain the English one at this point, with assistance of two other admins: [[User:Enabran]] of the [[:de:|German language Wiki]] and [[User:LIMAFOX76]] of the [[:fr:|French language Wiki]].

: As to the scripts, I have digitized PDF copies of the ones I've collected over the yahrens. I just need to re-upload them again (I'll upload them to the Wiki directly and update the links to the specific episodes). I'll start with "[[The Beta Pirates]]" and go from there. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:22, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

== Battlestar Wiki's new skin ==

Hi Joe, I hope you're well. I discovered the new skin you implanted for BW. Is that normal if everything is still in a white background even if you modified the css page to adapt? Thanks for your answer. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 06:24, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

: Howdy! Things are OK -- I hope things are good for you! For the background, it is adaptable, and there are three options if you click on the wheel/gear icon on the upper menu bar: Auto, Light and Dark. You might be on "light" or "auto," so if you click on Dark you should get the "darker" red theme.

: I'm trying to figure out what to do for the "light" theme (so I've left it alone for now), and might try something that invokes the cream/light brown paperwork from the series.

: I'm tweaking the theme as I go as well, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions, let me know. Cheers! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 23:38, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
:: Things are good for me as well, thanks! Regarding the skin, I chose the Dark theme, yet it is still white. Did I miss something in my parameters??
:: Small update, it seems that the dark and light themes are linked to the browser main color theme. I managed to change it in Edge and Firefox but I had to purge the cache. If I switch the browsers' theme back to light, it comes back to the light mode. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 20:54, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

::: I loved the old cream-coloured theme developed by Paul Gu. I don't think that theme would work in the current versions of Media Wiki, though. But if you have the CSS of that light theme, maybe we can use the same colours in the current Citizen based theme? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:28, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
: For the "light" version, I was aiming towards the cream color, to mimic the paperwork in the series. We had something like that for the "Case Orange" update blog back in the day. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 03:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Joe, Hope you're fine. There is an issue with the SSL certificates on all Battlestar wikis and Buck Wiki. It says that they are not valid anymore and block the page's loading.

== Old WikiFrakr content and other language wikis ==

WiiFrakr had some fantastic and hilarious content back in the day. Sadly this was lost in time. Is there a way to restore those pages back if a backup is available? Maybe instead of a separate sub-wiki, those pages can live under a namespace on the English Wiki.
Similarly, the other language wikis which existed are lost. Is it possible to restore them too? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
: I believe a backup is available, but I haven't gotten to it, as I haven't prioritized it.

Hi. I saw you posted on his talk page last month and I just wanted to tell you he has been permabanned from dozens of wikis for disruptive editing and emailing users about wiki bans.

Hi,

Just added images from "[[Fragged]]" concerning Quorum delegates, at least the ones that correspond to those from "[[Colonial Day]]".

== Clarification ==

:To clarify, I am not the user behind the IP address in question, nor do I have any personal connection to it. My insistence stems from a concern that the block may be causing '''collateral damage''' by preventing legitimate, good-faith contributors from a shared range or location from participating. I believe it is important to ensure our blocking policyfocuses on current protection rather than indefinite punishment, especially if the original issue is now outdated. My only goal is to support '''consistent enforcement''' and the growth of the wiki by making sure we aren't unnecessarily turning away potential editors.

:::Yes. My decision stands as it is, given history behind that particular IP. I find the insistence curious, even still, and am left to wonder if there isn't a more sinister view behind it. Please note, I have uplifted the other blocks for the time being, so this is the only one that stands.

==Marvel Comics multiverse categorization==
Greetings, Mr. Beaudoin Jr.,

I come here on behalf of the Marvel fandom, seeing as [https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Earth-78917 this] occurred. The source comes from Marvel editorial deciding on designations.

== TOS/G80 unproduced scripts ==

Greetings fellow Colonial!

I'm interested in assisting in regards to the summary pages of unproduced scripts of the 1978 series and its follow-up in 1980, but there are a few problems in this regard. First, it appears the wiki hasn't been updated in quite some time regarding these scripts (so I'm unsure if this is an active project or not). Second, the link to the Battlestar Pegasus page is dead. I have a few scripts printed out from the '78 series a few years ago, but I'd need access to the other scripts (especially The Beta Pirates, which I've wanted to read for many yahrens). Is this wiki still active, and can I assist? {{unsigned|Ninth Lord of Kobol}}

: Hello! Yes, the wiki is still somewhat active. I mostly maintain the English one at this point, with assistance of two other admins: [[User:Enabran]] of the [[:de:|German language Wiki]] and [[User:LIMAFOX76]] of the [[:fr:|French language Wiki]].

: As to the scripts, I have digitized PDF copies of the ones I've collected over the yahrens. I just need to re-upload them again (I'll upload them to the Wiki directly and update the links to the specific episodes). I'll start with "[[The Beta Pirates]]" and go from there. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:22, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

== Battlestar Wiki's new skin ==

Hi Joe, I hope you're well. I discovered the new skin you implanted for BW. Is that normal if everything is still in a white background even if you modified the css page to adapt? Thanks for your answer. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 06:24, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

: Howdy! Things are OK -- I hope things are good for you! For the background, it is adaptable, and there are three options if you click on the wheel/gear icon on the upper menu bar: Auto, Light and Dark. You might be on "light" or "auto," so if you click on Dark you should get the "darker" red theme.

: I'm trying to figure out what to do for the "light" theme (so I've left it alone for now), and might try something that invokes the cream/light brown paperwork from the series.

: I'm tweaking the theme as I go as well, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions, let me know. Cheers! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 23:38, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

== Old WikiFrakr content and other language wikis ==

WiiFrakr had some fantastic and hilarious content back in the day. Sadly this was lost in time. Is there a way to restore those pages back if a backup is available? Maybe instead of a separate sub-wiki, those pages can live under a namespace on the English Wiki.
Similarly, the other language wikis which existed are lost. Is it possible to restore them too? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I saw you posted on his talk page last month and I just wanted to tell you he has been permabanned from dozens of wikis for disruptive editing and emailing users about wiki bans. [https://nookipedia.com/wiki/User%20talk:PawPatroler More information can be found in one wiki he was permabanned from]. I’d just banhammer him.

Hi,

Just added images from "[[Fragged]]" concerning Quorum delegates, at least the ones that correspond to those from "[[Colonial Day]]".

:Awesome Corey! I expect there to be discontinuities as production didn't keep tabs on these types of things, particularly as the show went on.

== Clarification ==

:To clarify, I am not the user behind the IP address in question, nor do I have any personal connection to it. My insistence stems from a concern that the block may be causing '''collateral damage''' by preventing legitimate, good-faith contributors from a shared range or location from participating. I believe it is important to ensure our blocking policyfocuses on current protection rather than indefinite punishment, especially if the original issue is now outdated. My only goal is to support '''consistent enforcement''' and the growth of the wiki by making sure we aren't unnecessarily turning away potential editors.

:::Yes. My decision stands as it is, given history behind that particular IP. I find the insistence curious, even still, and am left to wonder if there isn't a more sinister view behind it. Please note, I have uplifted the other blocks for the time being, so this is the only one that stands.

==Marvel Comics multiverse categorization==
Greetings, Mr. Beaudoin Jr.,

I come here on behalf of the Marvel fandom, seeing as [https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Earth-78917 this] occurred. The source comes from Marvel editorial deciding on designations.

Hi Joe, Hope you're fine. There is an issue with the SSL certificates on all Battlestar wikis and Buck Wiki. It says that they are not valid anymore and block the page's loading. Is it possible to update the certificates so no warning message appears ? Thank you very much. Cheers! --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] ([[User talk:LIMAFOX76|talk]]) 10:23, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

== Caprica fonts on German site ==

Hi Joe, I hope you're fine. Is it possible please to add the two "Caprica" fonts on the German wiki root directory? It is already configured to have them, so it will appears as soon you import them.

== Old WikiFrakr content and other language wikis ==

WiiFrakr had some fantastic and hilarious content back in the day. Sadly this was lost in time. Is there a way to restore those pages back if a backup is available? Maybe instead of a separate sub-wiki, those pages can live under a namespace on the English Wiki.
Similarly, the other language wikis which existed are lost. Is it possible to restore them too? -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] [[User talk:CylonU87|I don't feel like a copy.]] 20:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
: I believe a backup is available, but I haven't gotten to it, as I haven't prioritized it. As to the other language wikis, I don't believe there was much in the way of content, beyond the German and French versions that were restored. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 03:42, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

== PawPatroler ==

Hi. I saw you posted on his talk page last month and I just wanted to tell you he has been permabanned from dozens of wikis for disruptive editing and emailing users about wiki bans. [https://nookipedia.com/wiki/User%20talk:PawPatroler More information can be found in one wiki he was permabanned from]. I’d just banhammer him. [[Special:Contributions/70.54.235.122|70.54.235.122]] 17:38, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

:Appreciate your reaching out to me on this. Along with fellow admins from other language versions, we've found much the same regarding bans elsewhere. That said, we'll refrain from the "banhammer" as there have no disruptive edits here as of yet, beyond the initial message.

== Quorum images and other information. ==

Hi,

Just added images from "[[Fragged]]" concerning Quorum delegates, at least the ones that correspond to those from "[[Colonial Day]]". And expanded on [[Oswyn Eriku]]'s page, something I picked up concerning Unnamed Delegate #3 and also something to possibly update the [[List of pilots]] page. - [[User:CoreyDanian|Corey "Shadow" Danian]] ([[User talk:CoreyDanian|talk]]) 07:47, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

:Awesome Corey! I expect there to be discontinuities as production didn't keep tabs on these types of things, particularly as the show went on. We should note any contradictions, particularly as background or bit actors tend to play different characters throughout the run of the show. (Not to mention the same people tend to be reused throughout the prequels.)

== Many IP addresses are currently permabanned as the block-list shows ==

See this [https://en.battlestarwiki.org/Special:BlockList?wpTarget=&wpOptions%5B%5D=tempblocks&wpOptions%5B%5D=autoblocks&wpOptions%5B%5D=userblocks&blockType=&limit=50&wpFormIdentifier=blocklist blocklist] that shows all of the prebanned IP addresses; Given that IP addresses are often shared by many users instead of being tied to one person and it’s easy to bypass an IP ban if you know what you're doing, shouldn’t this IP be unbanned to avoid catching innocent users in the crossfire and because the person who used that IP address likely isn’t using it anymore?

== Clarification ==

:To clarify, I am not the user behind the IP address in question, nor do I have any personal connection to it. My insistence stems from a concern that the block may be causing '''collateral damage''' by preventing legitimate, good-faith contributors from a shared range or location from participating. I believe it is important to ensure our blocking policyfocuses on current protection rather than indefinite punishment, especially if the original issue is now outdated. My only goal is to support '''consistent enforcement''' and the growth of the wiki by making sure we aren't unnecessarily turning away potential editors.

:::Yes. My decision stands as it is, given history behind that particular IP. I find the insistence curious, even still, and am left to wonder if there isn't a more sinister view behind it. Please note, I have uplifted the other blocks for the time being, so this is the only one that stands. Neither of you may agree with that, but my decision is final at this point in time. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 23:11, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Addendum: I will also note that Battlestar Wiki did suspend IP/anonymous editing for the better part of a decade, as it became more of a burden to deal with issues stemming from it than not. That decision may also be reversed, but I have decided to loosen the reins a bit given some of the newer technologies in play, and for reasons that you both seem to have shared. Please do not make me regret my decision.

==Marvel Comics multiverse categorization==
Greetings, Mr. Beaudoin Jr.,

I come here on behalf of the Marvel fandom, seeing as [https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Earth-78917 this] occurred. The source comes from Marvel editorial deciding on designations.

How would one put the numbering and sourcing on the Marvel Comics page or any adjacent comic article?

So say we all,
