As opposed to what What Battlestar Wiki is, Battlestar Wiki:
- IS NOT a soapbox for your own views. If you add your views to an article, make sure that everyone else's views are truthfully and completely represented as well.
- IS NOT a repository of Web links. We are not Google or the IMDB, although we do link to them from time to time. Yes, we do have links to other websites, but they are normally related to a topic covered by this WikiWiki.
- IS NOT a place for fan fiction and related creations. Fan fiction includes biographies, fan created clubs, places, characters, ships, events, and storylines. While we host one article where external links can be placed for those who wish to explore fan creations, fan fiction is not allowed on Battlestar Wiki. All content must be substatiated or supported from official sources. If you have the resources at your disposal, you can always create your own wiki using MediaWiki software.
- IS NOT a indiscriminate source for information. Battlestar Wiki is not a general encyclopedia. Whenever referring to actual events, we generally refer to Wikipedia.
- IS NOT your own personal webhost or image host. If you want to build your own website, there are many free web hosts out there. Just do a Google search and you'll find some. Any content not related to "Battlestar Galactica" or that has become orphaned (unused) will be removed at the discretion of the operators of the Wiki.
- IS NOT a place to list or solicit illegal downloads. No, we cannot refer you to where you can download the newest episode of "Battlestar Galactica" or a music track from a series CD. Such actions are illegal and we do not support them, period. And, yes, queries will go unanswered.
