== Overview ==
For '''main page''' "testing" so it is not happening live. A very first version of the ''Wiki'' is located [[Battlestar Wiki:Main page/Archive|here]]. This was before the Wiki was even moved to the current domain. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 15:57, 2 August 2006 (CDT)
== 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 [[Battlestar Wiki:Markup|Wiki Code]]. If you don't you can check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:Markup|Markup]] page to learn it.
For those who want to help with the CSS and a "layout" of the Mediawiki layout that would match this current design, you can head over to ''[http://www.battlestarwiki.org/hangarbay/index.php/Main_Page The Hanger Bay]'', to check it out. Some pages are created just so we have an idea of how it would look like. This is going to help the site look more real and so that the template can be used throughout the different skins installed. We are going to have two skins in the end, ''Monobook'' and ''BSGWiki''. The Mono book will just be unsing the default MediaWiki colors, but the same "layout".

== Current Project==
I need people to check out http://www.battlestarwiki.org/hangarbay/index.php/Main_Page to see how they like the color scheme and style. I need feed back on this site, but do not leave it there. Leave it on this pages discussion page. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 19:45, 7 May 2006 (CDT)

Featured Article

The Cylon Centurion is a fully armored, metallic automaton that functions as the basic foot-soldier of the Cylon ground forces. Introduced sometime after the initial Cylon conflict, the modern Centurion appears to be a significant evolution of the Cylon War-era Centurion. Modern Centurions serve a variety of functions within the Cylon hierarchy, acting as guards, soldiers, executioners and even gardeners. "Bullethead", "clanker" and "chrome job" are common Colonial nicknames for these advanced and deadly Cylon constructs. They are also referred to as "toasters" - the common Colonial nickname (or epithet) for the Cylon race as a whole. ...continued...
