Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

Welcome to the Wiki, Esjones. Tell us about yourself on your user page. We have a template that lets you put some information about yourself in a nice-looking box.

Battlestar Wiki is an encyclopedia on officially-licensed stories, aired episodes, and other products of the Battlestar universes. Make sure that your contributions fit Battlestar Wiki's purpose, avoiding what we aren't.

Our editing standards and conventions policies may differ from other wikis, especially in verb tense and voice, capitalization and the like. Please read this policy. We have an editing tutorial and wiki markup codes to help you.

Our policies on original research differ from places such as Wikipedia. We allow some research based on aired episode content, but don't allow speculation that isn't supported from episode events.

Battlestar Wiki's many projects help improve our content. Are you an Original Series fan? Help out in the Original Series Article Project. Non-English versions of Battlestar Wiki also need contributors, and helpers for our podcast transcriptions are also welcome. New projects should be brought to our Think Tank, where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.

Any questions about an article can be entered on the article's talk page. General questions about the wiki can be brought to the Quorum or the administrators' noticeboard. To sign your posts on any talk page, just enter four tildes (~~~~)!

We look forward to your contributions to the community! --Spencerian 12:52, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

TV shows

Welcome to the Wiki! I was reading over your userpage and noticed that you watched some Irwin Allen and Gerry Anderson shows... I was just curious as to whether or not you've ever watched Allen's The Time Tunnel or Anderson's UFO. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 14:54, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

Template

Welcome aboard! We have a template that automatically updates your age on your birthday, so it's always correct. You'd have to be ~~an automation junkie~~ a programmer to come up with such a crazy thing, but we've got it. Simply add {{age|1990|11|25}} somewhere, which will show up as 34 (my age). For people who want to inform the world of everything there is to know about them, we also have a user data template. Examples of how it looks (and its usage) can be found on (among many others) User:Peter Farago and User:Serenity. Just so you know.
