==Purpose?==
What's the goal of the Community Portal page, eventually? What kind of things should go here? If I had any idea of how to help, I'd feel better about changing it to, well, something at all. --[[User:Day|Day]] 00:49, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

: My thought was to have a list of links and references to other BSG resources and bulletin boards. -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 09:48, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

::Ah. So not so much a portal to the community of ''this'' site, but a portal to the greater BSG community on the web. I see. --[[User:Day|Day]] 11:47, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

::: Or it can function as both our internal community as well as the "greater" community. :-) -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 14:58, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

One purpose I suggest would deal with "action alerts." For example, the "Battlestar Pegasus" entry on Wikipedia has been proposed for deletion. Would it be appropriate to alert readers that they can go [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Battlestar_Pegasus| here]] to register their votes? [[User:Jtmichcock|Jtmichcock]] 07:20, 25 October 2005 (EDT)

== Village Pump? ==
I didn't know where else to post this, so i'll do it here.

Can we get a page like the wikipedia village pump? The village pump is simply an area where wikipedians (sorry, wiki-editors) can come to talk to each other about the wiki. It's where ideas can be presented and discussed, and questions can be asked. It's sort of a gathering point, from which groups can break off into dedicated projects, and etc.

I would like that just because i have a few questions and suggestions that i'd like to include interested people in, but i don't know where to talk about it. I checked the community portal, but it hasn't been made. I'd volunteer to create an initial page if i had a 'village pump' to link to. :P

As a final note, it can be called anything. "Village pump" en.wikipedia, "Beer parlour" en.wiktionary, "Le Bistro" fr.wikipedia. Probably for this site some clever name of a place that people meet on galactica... "flight deck" or... well i dunno, someone suggest a good idea!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump

[[User:Fudoreaper|Fudoreaper]] 07:10, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

: I vote for the Combat Information Center or something like that. Or Cloud 9. Something like that. I assume it'd use the Battlestar Wiki namespace or something, so as not to conflict with actual pages. --[[User:Day|Day]] 15:28, 2 October 2005 (EDT)
::I vote Cloud 9. CIC sounds too official and serious. -- [[User:Danaucpe|Danaucpe]] 17:37, October 2, 2005 (EDT)

::: I'm not a Wikipedia editor, so I don't know what the Villiage Punp is normally used for, but I suggested the CIC because it's kind of the nerve center of ''Galactica''. If it's the kind of place that would spin off [[:Category:Project Page|Project Pages]], then maybe it should be a bit serious. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, though. If its more casual and less planning, then I think ''Cloud 9'' would be a great name. Just... thought I'd be more clear. --[[User:Day|Day]] 19:18, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

:::: I don't really care what it is called but it sounds like a good ideaa --[[User:Blacklight|Blacklight]]
::::: Does anyone recall the name of the room where the pilots play cards? That's not the mess is it? Whatever it is, that would seem to be an appropriate name. --[[User:Watcher|Watcher]] 20:58, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

:::: The village pump is for all kinds of questions/suggestions/talk. Its general-purpose, and no, not very formal. If a discussion starts on the village pump that becomes more formal, the discussion is moved (maybe to a project page or something). The reason i want something like this is so i can make suggestions. :P – [[User:Fudoreaper|Fudoreaper]] 22:51, 5 October 2005 (EDT)
: Check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum]]... -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 23:17, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

:: Aw, shucks. You've just thought of everything haven't ya, Joe? Wikipedian Quorum's a great name (full of authority and such) but how about allowing a vote (I know, I know) so that all involved feel a greater sense of ownership? --[[User:Watcher|Watcher]] 01:27, 3 October 2005 (EDT)

==Timeframes?==

Hi, I've been here a while scoping the place out, and I have a question before I begin editing heavily. :) How long after an episode has aired first-run can we make changes without riling the spoiler-free crowd? (Example: Changing appropriate pages to reflect Adama's changing rank) [[User:Joemc72|Joemc72]] 14:37, 18 January 2006 (EST)

: Please direct your attention to our [[Battlestar Wiki:Spoiler Policy|Spoiler Policy]]. I think it's pretty clear. It's also linked from the main page, in case you don't want to keep coming here when you want to look at it. ;) --[[User:Day|Day]] 15:33, 18 January 2006 (EST)
:: I did notice it, and will abide by it. Please excuse my obvious buffoonery. :) [[User:Joemc72|Joemc72]] 15:39, 18 January 2006 (EST)

::: No worries. There's not hard in pointing new folks to various of our important, non-article pages. Sometimes they're hard to find. I was just giving you a bit of a hard time. Welcome aboard. --[[User:Day|Day]] 15:55, 18 January 2006 (EST)

==Community Portal Content==
Looking at Wikipedia for an example, their [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Community Portal|community portal]] has these sections:
* To do
* Active collaborations
* Ongoing projects
* About Wikipedia
* Help
* Resources
It starts out with links to the village pump, but most of the page has to do with group projects. I like the Active collaborations section. It would be nice to have a way to focus attention on articles that need help. Cylons (RDM) (and TOS for that matter) would be a good candidate for something like that. Resources would be a good way to give the Standards and Conventions some more visibility (outside Spencerian's welcome message). We have several Ongoing projects that could use attention (other than their spot in the sidebar, I suppose). Anyhow, not all of these sections might be relevent to the BattleWiki, but I thought this might at least get the ball rolling on some ideas. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:01, 31 January 2006 (EST)

: I would like to get the "[[Battlestar Wiki:Quality Articles|Quality Article]]" idea started up as well... The Community Portal would be a good place to discuss which article needs to be worked on via a collaboration to achive a QA status. Anyone else have any other cool or wonderful ideas? -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 10:54, 31 January 2006 (EST)

::I have some thoughts on the Quality Article thing, but not a lot of time to post until this weekend. Don't let me forget about it. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 11:42, 31 January 2006 (EST)

::: Under the Official Cast & Crew Sites, perhaps add Tricia Helfer's site to the list? [[User:Northtwilight|Northtwilight]] 08:36, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

::::Feel free to add it to the links area of the community portal (just click the "edit" button under whichever section it belongs). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:58, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

==How to make a good Wikiportal==
I found the following [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Portal#How to make a good Wikiportal|here]]:
 
"Most Wikiportals contain the following for readers:
* A featured article and/or picture
* Links into the main category for the topic and possibly subcategories (some portals actually appear in the description page for the main category)
* General info about the subject, or links thereto
* Links to other portals (using templates)

...and for editors:
* Links to related WikiProjects.
* Links to specific articles or tasks
* Collaboration of the week, month, etc.

You may want to embark on an effort to fill the related categories with appropriate articles if this has not been done already (or add it to the portal's "todo" list so visitors can help out)."

Just some more content ideas. (It mentions featured articles, which very much jives with Joe's suggestion above). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:45, 31 January 2006 (EST)

== Bug report ==
I'm posting this here because I can't find any counterpart to [[w:Wikipedia:Bug reports|Wikipedia:Bug reports]]. Recently, all pages on the wiki have had a large amount of visible debug text enclosed with <nowiki></nowiki> at the bottom of them when viewed in [[w:K-Meleon|K-Meleon]] while logged in. -- [[User:Gordon Ecker|Gordon Ecker]] 05:29, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

== Concerning: Battlestar Wiki at Netflix ==

This is a briefer on keeping site directives inline with canon. I have foreword that Netflix has API plugins for user groups and commercial sites seeking to use its servers to download or rent movies and episodes. Certainly this option is a valuable one and the implications are endless.

I will update this briefer to see if any positive feedback has been returned.

Good look out

== Quote of the day. ==

Why was the quote of the day section removed from the main page. That was one awesome section which automatically updated daily, and gave us some kind of dynamism in the main page. It would be really nice if that could be added back. I don't have rights to edit the main page. So, some one with rights should do it. -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 05:32, 23 February 2012 (EST)

I hope you enjoy your stay with us and am looking forward to your contributions to the Wiki! Why not begin by telling us a bit about yourself on your own [[User:{{PAGENAME}}|user page]]?

As you may already know, Battlestar Wiki covers all the ''Battlestar Galactica'' series from past to present, in addition to authorized merchandise and [[BW:SEPCON|separate continuity]] materials such as comics and tie-in novels. '''We do not cover fan fiction.''' We're also not a discussion site, although we do have an ever-growing [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum] where people can discuss the various shows and non-BSG topics as well!

To get started on the wiki, we suggest that you check out our [[BW:TUT|tutorial]], experiment in [[BW:SAND|the sandbox]] (a test editing area for those learning wiki code), and review some of our basic [[BW:POL|policies]] (which have important differences from other SF wikis).

Of course, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you are more than welcome to bring them up at the [[BW:CN|Chiefs' noticeboard]] (which is frequented by the administrators of the Wiki) and at the [[BW:GQ|Galactipedians' Quorum]] (which is the hub for contributors, who are called "Galactipedians").

Furthermore, if you don't wish to see the ads, then please consider upgrading your account to a [[BW:MEMBERSHIP|paid membership]], which costs only $10 USD a year and helps support the wiki financially. This membership also extends to the [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum], where you can talk to other members about the show and most anything that you want to talk about to BSG fans! We think this is very cool, and we hope you do as well!
