Wikipedia has '''related sites''' for non-encyclopedic content.
==Related sites==
Battlestar Wiki is for prose articles about subjects considered [[encyclopedia|encyclopedic]] (along with some topics that would typically be found in an [[almanac]]), as well as content that could be considered [http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html Lurker's Guide-like] or words that you could find in a [[Wikipedia:dictionary|dictionary]].
Any article that simply defines a word, or short phrase, as you would find in a typical [[dictionary]], and that isn't considered a ''Battlestar'' unique word or phrase (such as [[Red Line]], [[volton (TOS)]], or [[frak]]) and cannot be expanded into an encyclopedic entry, should be contributed to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia]]'s sister project, [[Wiktionary:Main page|Wiktionary]].
Original source text, such as from a [[Wikipedia:public domain|public domain]] book that you want to post to make it more accessible, should be contributed to one of Wikipedia's other sister projects, [[Wikisource:Main page|Wikisource]].

===Linking to the related sites===
__NOTOC__
Say you have an uncommon word in an article that you write, that you think people might not understand -- and it is not ''Battlestar'' specific. So you're tempted to try and link to it on [[Battlestar Wiki]], but there isn't enough to say about that word to make a real encyclopedia entry.


Link to its Wiktionary entry. (If Wiktionary doesn't have it yet, do everyone a favor and add it, even if it's just a brief definition. Other Wiktionarians will help flesh it out.)
'''''Battlestar Wiki''''' has '''related sites''' for non-encyclopedic content.


Instead of the whole URL, you can use a wiki link similar to a regular Wikipedia link but with a special prefix. For example,
== Related sites ==
:<tt><nowiki>[[wiktionary:house]]</nowiki></tt>
{{mainarticle|Battlestar Wiki:Interwiki}}
will link to the Wiktionary definition of the word "house". In your article it will appear as:
''Battlestar Wiki'' is for prose articles about subjects considered [[Wikipedia:encyclopedia|encyclopedic]] (along with some topics that would typically be found in an [[Wikipedia:almanac|almanac]]), as well as content that could be considered [http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html Lurker's Guide-like] or words that you could find in a [[Wikipedia:dictionary|dictionary]].
:[[wiktionary:house]]
you can hide the "wiktionary:" part by adding a "pipe" (vertical bar) character:
:<tt><nowiki>[[wiktionary:house|]]</nowiki></tt>
as explained on the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial (Wikipedia links)|previous page]], so that the result is:
:[[wiktionary:house|house]]


The other projects have similar shortcuts. For more examples, see [[Wikipedia:How to link to Wikimedia projects|How to link to Wikimedia projects]].

Main article: Battlestar Wiki:Interwiki

Battlestar Wiki is for prose articles about subjects considered encyclopedic (along with some topics that would typically be found in an almanac), as well as content that could be considered Lurker's Guide-like or words that you could find in a dictionary.

Any article that simply defines a word, or short phrase, as you would find in a typical dictionary, and that isn't considered a Battlestar unique word or phrase (such as Red Line, Volton (TOS), or Frak) and cannot be expanded into an encyclopedic entry.

For a list of all related projects that we link to, see the interwiki link list.
