Battlestar Wiki:Main page: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:15, 29 April 2006

This page is one of Battlestar Wiki's many projects.
This page serves to coordinate discussion on a particular aspect of this Wiki. The formal recommendations of a project may be treated as policies.

Overview

For main page "testing" so it is not happening live.

Editing

This is where we mess with the main page design using hardcoded data and such. As this information might look similar to the Main Page is because it still uses the same elements, but the design might change. To edit, you must know Wiki Code. If you don't you can check out the Markup page to learn it.

Current Problems

Header does not strech to 100%. Working on a fix. Space between Merchandise and next section needs to be fixed. Re-add OBS section ASAP. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 13:53, 28 April 2006 (CDT)

Quote of the Day

Commander William Adama: I've asked you here to find out why the Cylons hate us so much.

Sharon Valerii: I'm not sure I know how to answer that. I mean, hate might not be the right word.
Adama: I don't want to fence with you. I just want to know why.
Valerii: It's what you said at the ceremony before the attack when Galactica was being decommissioned. You gave a speech that sounded like it wasn't the one you prepared. You said that humanity was a flawed creation. And that people still kill one another for petty jealousy and greed. You said that humanity never asked itself why it deserved to survive. Maybe you don't.
--Resurrection Ship, Part II
