Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

Welcome to the Wiki, TaKometer. Feel free to tell us about yourself on your user page. Before you get started on other edits, please read the Standards and Conventions, which details the policies we use in editing pages (this differs from many other wikis in its particular use of verb tense, abbreviations, formatting, and the like). If you need help in learning how to use the MediaWiki tools supported here, you can check out the tutorial and the wiki markup code pages for assistance.

Please read the articles "What is Battlestar Wiki" and "What Battlestar Wiki is Not." This important information details what contributions are acceptable in this encyclopedia.

We encourage you to participate in any projects on Battlestar Wiki, which work to enhance a particular subject or extension of the wiki. These include the Original Series Article Development Project and several language translations of Battlestar Wiki. If you have a new idea for a new project, visit the Think Tank, where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.

Also, if you have any questions or suggestions you wish to offer, please feel free to do so either on an article's talk page that's relevant to the subject, the Wikipedian Quorum or the Administrators' noticeboard. Remember to sign your posts on any talk pages using four tildes (~~~~)!

Creating redirects

Just to let you know, it's not necessary to copy and paste a previously established article in order to create a new name for the article, as you did with Viper Wings. ("Viper Wings" was essentially a slightly modified version of "Squadrons of Galactica".) You can simply use redirects to achieve the same effect by editing a page and adding: "#REDIRECT [[Page Name]]. Good editing! -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 04:21, 27 March 2007 (CDT)

I know, I wanted to make a provisional page to propose a change from "squadron" to "wing". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TaKometer (talk • contribs).

But "Viper Wings" doesn't make any sense. There is one Air Wing and several squadrons. No "wings". Merging Squadrons of Galactica and Air Wing has more merit. I could go either way on it, but I don't really see any need for it. One is more general about the Air Wing/Air Group while the other has more specific information --Serenity 09:21, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
