Registration is required for the Battlestar Wiki

Why Registration?

There are two main reasons people are encouraged to register:

General benefits

The free account gives you many benefits, including more editing options and user preferences. One handy feature is the watchlist, which makes it easier for you to track changes to pages you are interested in.

Finally, only registered users are allowed to become administrators (or sysops).

Perceived benefits

Many Wikipedians consider registering to indicate a greater willingness by you to stand behind your edits, and your comments on discussion pages. This means your contributions to articles and discussion pages will generally be given more weight, at least when you make the entries while logged in.

How to register

To register, or to see more detailed information regarding the benefits of registering, you can click the Log in link at the top right corner of any page.
