Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!
Greetings, Byron, and welcome to Battlestar Wiki! I hope you enjoy your stay with us and am looking forward to your contributions to the Wiki! Why not begin by telling us a bit about yourself on your own user page?
As you may already know, Battlestar Wiki covers all the Battlestar Galactica series from past to present, in addition to authorized merchandise. Presently, we don't cover fan fiction, but our sister-site, Battlestar Pegasus, does so. We're also not a discussion site, although we do have an ever-growing Battlestar Forum where people can discuss the various shows and non-BSG topics as well!
To get started on the wiki, we suggest that you check out our tutorial, experiment in the sandbox (a test editing area for those learning wiki code), and review some of our basic policies (which have important differences from other SF wikis). For some general questions and answers about the navigation and operation of the Wiki, check out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
Of course, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you are more than welcome to bring them up at the Chiefs' noticeboard (which is frequented by the administrators of the Wiki) and at the Galactipedians' Quorum (which is the hub for contributors, who are called "Galactipedians").
Furthermore, if you don't wish to see the ads, then please consider upgrading your account to a paid membership, which costs only $10 USD a year and helps support the wiki financially. Becoming a member also entitles you to our raffle, where you can win gift cards, merchandise, and other prizes! We think this is very cool, and we hope you do as well!
Thank you for joining us! Hope to see you soon! --Shane (talk) 14:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Wedge shaped vessel
We are aware that the ship is based on a fan design that has some history about it. But none of that appears on screen in the show, and so we go with what the series itself established. Which is basically nothing. If the writers ever elaborate on the ship (which is unlikely), they could just come up with something entirely different. The fan-made story is mentioned in the Notes section, but we take care to separate canon from fan-fiction. This is discussed at some length on the article's talk page too -- Serenity 12:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- You can always bring fan ideas to the Battlestar forum. :) Shane (talk) 14:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
