Memory Gamma:Policies and Guidelines

Memory Gamma is the place for Star Trek fanon.

Please contribute whatever you want that's Star Trek! However, please try to keep it to the canon timeline. You may add some ideas from the books, but that's mainly for Memory Gamma

Editing
Everyone who visits Memory Gamma, can edit any pages on the wiki (except for protected pages). To do this, simply click the Edit tab at the top of any page, if you feel that something is wrong with the article, or you would like to add something. You don't need any special rights to edit a page, you don't even have to log in. If you want to practice some editing before doing so on an actual page, head over to our sandbox, where you can practice with anything you like. To practice with content with a page in a sandbox, just copy and paste the text.

Templates
We have also created navigational aids known as Templates for various articles. They help to create a good flow in the wiki, as well as save time when creating references.


 * See: Memory Gamma:Templates.

Images
If you want to upload an image for an article, but are not sure if it conforms with this wiki's policy. Then upload the image and post it in the Ten Forward forum, so that other members can vote on the authenticity and relevance of the image.

Deletions
If you come across an article or image that you feel has no place on the wiki, then members can carry out a vote for/against the image on the Votes for deletion page.

Discussions
Remember that every article has a discussion page: just click on the tab at top marked "discussion". If you think some of the information in an article is incorrect, please post that information and supporting sources to the discussion page first. This allows all participants to determine if there are conflicting sources (a fairly common occurrence) or if one version should take precedence over another.

Most Wanted Pages
Not sure what to add? Check Most Wanted Pages to see the list of most requested articles, or the list of stubs, to see what we need help with.

Don't be discouraged
If there's anything that you don't understand - be it technical or social - and you're not sure where to look for assistance, just post a question at Help desk, and someone will be more than happy to help you.

And most importantly, Have Fun!
