Correct spelling of "pronounced"[]

Please note that the correct spelling of "pronounced" has 2 "o"s. --Defiant (talk) 00:48, February 16, 2016 (UTC)

Script/Unused/Deleted references[]

These should not go into the main "References" section of an episode or film, but should go into a "Deleted references" subsection of the References section. Thanks! -- sulfur (talk) 05:00, February 19, 2016 (UTC)

Page citations[]

Hi. Please note that the format we use for citing pages is either "p." for a single page and "pp." for multiple pages. --Defiant (talk) 14:36, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

Also, when citing the Star Trek Encyclopedia, please state the full name of "Star Trek Encyclopedia" rather than just "Encyclopedia". This helps clarify the precise publication being cited, instead of causing the reader potential confusion that you mean another "encyclopedia". --Defiant (talk) 13:10, February 23, 2016 (UTC)

Script citations to STM[]

Please make certain to use their new URL schema ("resources/scripts") as opposed to the old "academy/literature329" style. Thanks. -- sulfur (talk) 20:23, February 27, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Potts[]

See Talk:Unnamed USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) personnel. You might be able to add another link soon to Jake and Willie's infoboxes. --LauraCC (talk) 20:28, February 29, 2016 (UTC)

A few things, mainly about removing info[]

Hi there (and welcome back?). There's been a few edits I've noticed by you that seem a bit over eager to remove incorrect notes, when it would be simple to just correct them. Firstly, note the improvement I've made at Atlec over your edit: even if Startrek.com doesn't make those claims anymore, it's still interesting to note that they once said that. (this case also goes to show why documenting you removals is always a good thing to do) Secondly, see the concern with one of your removals here - a reply would be appreciated.

Additionally, have you made any progress on "Orelious system"? If it's going to take a while for you to check the episode, it might be smart to post your concern on the talk page, so it's clear that pending further research, there may be a problem - other people might be able to help, plus it keeps the issue from falling of the radar. -- Capricorn (talk) 09:07, March 2, 2016 (UTC)

Alternate timelines[]

When a page covers more than one timeline (such as Icheb, who existed in an alternate timeline and the prime timeline, the correct banner is {{multiple}}, not {{alt timeline}}. --LauraCC (talk) 17:20, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

Canon[]

Please review MA:CANON. The STE and StarTrek.com are not listed there, and so information from those sources should not be included in in-universe sections of articles like it was here. - Archduk3 06:35, March 17, 2016 (UTC)

Stub articles[]

Please don't just make stub articles with no information on them about people. This doesn't help at all. Also, when you're arbitrarily removing information from the "people to be written" lists without taking that information and applying it to the article, you're losing information that has been gathered about these people along the way.

A stub is not better than an uncreated page, especially when the stub lists no information. -- sulfur (talk) 11:04, March 20, 2016 (UTC)

Category[]

I thought this might interest you, as you've been working on these a lot. MA:CS#In-universe categories#Tamarian terms. --LauraCC (talk) 21:48, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

DEFAULTSORT[]

Instead of using the magic word directly, can you use the template from now on? The only difference is instead of a colon (:) use a pipe (|) like in a piped link. This way pages using the magic word can be easier to identify. Thanks. - Archduk3 06:18, April 5, 2016 (UTC)

You'll need this[]

--LauraCC (talk) 18:20, April 8, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks.--Memphis77 (talk) 18:32, April 8, 2016 (UTC)

You're welcome. The program is called Sherlock Holmes Program 3A, if you want to change your pages to use that term rather than "a holoprogram simulation of 1890s London." --LauraCC (talk) 19:09, April 8, 2016 (UTC) Though most of the episode is about what happens in the holoprogram, see the references at Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home to get an idea of where I'm going with the change I just made to references. --LauraCC (talk) 20:20, April 8, 2016 (UTC)

Images instead of links[]

Why don't you use the screen image these items are shown in? (Like so?) --LauraCC (talk) 19:31, April 11, 2016 (UTC)

Biblical figures[]

Where are you getting these from? I looked up the names on Chakoteya and they're not in dialog. I assume you're reading an open page of the Bible visible in the episode, right? Incidentally, "prophecy" is now a in-universe page, so you can add this reference to it now too. --LauraCC (talk) 18:04, August 4, 2016 (UTC)

If you don't mind I'd like to second this. -- Capricorn (talk) 05:37, August 13, 2016 (UTC)

What about the Saint Peter reference? I'm the opposite of upset that you found more Biblical references, but I can't find anything in transcripts. (Here comes somebody telling me to watch an actual episode.) --LauraCC (talk) 17:09, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

St. Peter is mentioned in a joke told by the comic. See the talk page for Jew, subject "The Joke Text". I will not go into too great of detail about the saint.--Memphis77 (talk) 17:11, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Okay, but what about the Omega glory refs? --LauraCC (talk) 18:01, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

The names appear on a page from a Bible seen in "The Omega Glory". In the articles, I listed the chapter and verse, so the references can be found quickly. Go over to Trekcore, to the episode "The Omega Glory, to page 37 of screenshots - there is a screenshot of the page.--Memphis77 (talk) 18:12, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Likely best to upload that screenshot here and use it on the various pages that you've drawn references from... -- sulfur (talk) 18:16, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

And, how is that done?--Memphis77 (talk) 18:17, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Okay. I was right. :) And perhaps a redirect to the Bible called "Haggai (book)"?

Thusly. --LauraCC (talk) 18:20, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Download the image from TrekCore to your computer, then take the link LauraCC just posted. Put in a description, citation, and add {{image star trek}}. Then you can link that image into the articles. -- sulfur (talk) 18:25, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Nuts. Shoulda been more specific. Have I already forgotten what it's like to not know how to do things? --LauraCC (talk) 18:27, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Well, my first attempt fizzled. I have an Apple Mac, so I selected Saves File as Downloads. It gave me the image as a thumb. Somewhere on this wiki, there is my work. It is sad, so terribly sad. :(--Memphis77 (talk) 18:53, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

I see it. Click on "new files on this wiki". (under the "on MA" tab) --LauraCC (talk) 18:55, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

It is at a size that is not useful for the article, and it does not conform to the instructions left by sulfur. It will have to be redone.--Memphis77 (talk) 19:07, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

I've replaced the image. Next time, click on the picture to get a bigger version suitable for MA. It will need a file rename though, and I don't have the ability to do that. --LauraCC (talk) 19:30, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

You can give it a new name on upload. There's a field for that on the upload screen. -- sulfur (talk) 12:04, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

BGinfo templates[]

Please do NOT convert {{bginfo}} templates to ":''" style tags when adding sidebars to pages. These segments use templates for a reason.

In addition, please try to AVOID putting links in pages subjects (that part in the bold at the top of the page). Thanks. -- sulfur (talk) 15:39, August 9, 2016 (UTC)

Gleason[]

Regarding the Gleason page move, it would seem a bit premature as by his next appearance, as per his talk page, he was a j.g. lieutenant. --Alan del Beccio (talk) 14:34, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

Links that are to the wrong place[]

When adding links to pages, please ensure that they go to the wrong place. "radius" is not the same as "radius (geometry)". -- sulfur (talk) 20:58, September 6, 2016 (UTC)

Sidebar[]

Why do you removed sidebars such as for Penthara IV? Tom (talk) 17:56, September 7, 2016 (UTC)

I removed the sidebar due to a lack of information for supporting the sidebar. Only two of the lines (type of planet, affiliation) can be filled. There is no information for the other lines.--Memphis77 (talk) 18:04, September 7, 2016 (UTC)

That doesn't make it any less a planet. --LauraCC (talk) 18:09, September 7, 2016 (UTC)

I see your point though I think a sidebar, even if there are only two lines filled with information, supports the article and makes the look a bit more formal. Laura, the status as a planet was never in question. Tom (talk) 18:11, September 7, 2016 (UTC)

Not saying it was. But anything ID'd as a planet ideally should have a planet sidebar. That's my point.

Off topic, I asked a question regarding this sidebar @ Template talk:Sidebar planet. --LauraCC (talk) 18:16, September 7, 2016 (UTC)

Not every planet requires a sidebar, just as not every person requires an infobox. -- sulfur (talk) 18:22, September 7, 2016 (UTC)

Some minor characters have been given one anyway by someone for some reason or other. If we argue this on a case-by-case basis, there will be no end of verbal sparring. --LauraCC (talk) 18:28, September 7, 2016 (UTC)

Personally I think that if the sidebar is longer than the article, one isn't needed. The amount of information given matters as well. 31dot (talk) 21:04, September 7, 2016 (UTC)

Rename, don't delete[]

First, most of the deletion discussion you've started should have just been page moves/renames, but now need to be merges because you've create "new" articles. Also, whatever you are doing to start these discussions is breaking how the system is suppose to work, so if you could let me know how you're starting these discussions, that would be a big help. - Archduk3 09:43, September 8, 2016 (UTC)

I checked your contributions page to see what pages were in discussion.

I select delete page, then I write down my rationale. However, I am not seeing the bar that begins with the "Bold text" button. So, I create a new tab for the section to be edited, then I can see that bar. At that point, I click the "Your signature with timestamp". I do not understand why the delete talk page is behaving that way.

As for the "new" articles, there existed two articles for the same location. As in the case with a star named Alpha Meyers, there were two articles in existence: one with the correct spelling and one with the incorrect spelling. I could not move the article as there would be a conflict. I get a "wall" of red text. (The same is true for Bergman's Planet/Hershman's Planet.)--Memphis77 (talk) 13:31, September 8, 2016 (UTC)

If you can't move a page because one already exists at the new spelling you want, you should follow the merging guidelines, not suggest the old spelling be deleted.

Regarding the error that was happening, where are you seleting delete page? Generally speaking, you should be following the link on the deletion notice once it's been added to the page you want deleted. I'm also confused as to why opening a new tab would effect the buttons. - Archduk3 17:14, September 8, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. The next time I select a page for delete, I will write down the steps so we can see if there is a fault and, if so, where the fault lies. Hopefully, that won't be for a while.--Memphis77 (talk) 17:22, September 8, 2016 (UTC)

Chapmans sign location[]

Why not add the location of the sign to the body of the article instead of a background note? Just say so and so passed by it in 1893, etc. --LauraCC (talk) 18:30, September 14, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry to be second-guessing you, but...[]

In your recent page creations, I noticed that you put a hyphen in Einstein-Rosen but not in Kerr Newman. Are they both correct according to the graphic? -- Capricorn (talk) 18:58, October 9, 2016 (UTC)

Yes. I do not know if you have the Star Trek Encyclopedia; however, if you do, the graphic seen in the episode accompanies the entry for wormhole. The graphic is seen on p. 565 of the third edition. (The "hyphen" is barely visible in the third encyclopedia. It is more visible in the first edition, which has a larger version of the graphic. That is on p. 378) Hope this helps.--Memphis77 (talk) 21:19, October 9, 2016 (UTC)

ok -- Capricorn (talk) 21:53, October 9, 2016 (UTC)

Categories[]

Please familiarize yourself with the category tree. I've reverted your latest additions of the "Category:Government officials" as the "Category:Governors" is already a sub-category of the afore mentioned one. There is no need to add categories and their sub-categories to an article. Tom (talk) 21:51, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

Enterprise-D vs Enterprise-D[]

FYI, we prefer the latter here on MA, such that ''Enterprise''-D is the accepted way to display the name of a starship with a trailing letter. Thanks. -- sulfur (talk) 15:35, October 12, 2016 (UTC)

Discrepancy[]

I looked for the image in the episode's image category but didn't find it. That's why I didn't just fix it myself. I'm guessing the inconsistency is due to someone's rename? --LauraCC (talk) 16:10, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

There are images of the biographical file for Brahms at Ex-Astris-Scientia. Check the observation page for the episode. I think it was a mistake on the part of the article's creator.--Memphis77 (talk) 16:15, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Datestatus[]

Please do NOT remove this from sidebars. It's an in-universe date that we know something happened as of. -- sulfur (talk) 15:24, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

Kurillian[]

I didn't realize that Kurillian was only created recently. Given the discussion on the talk page, I'm very curious to know what was even your rationalle for creating that page? What did you find that made you decide that this ought to have a page? -- Capricorn (talk) 01:00, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

"NFT"?[]

Hi, Memphis77. Can you explain to me where the info for the NFT article is sourced from, please? It seems to be info from Star Trek Generations, but I've noticed you've cited TNG: "Birthright, Part II" as the only citation, so I'd be interested to find out more. --Defiant (talk) 14:02, October 25, 2016 (UTC)

Gar-Danes[]

I'm curious, based on what did you change your description of what a Gar-Dane is from being a group to being a nickname? I did some preliminary research on that earlier this year (eventually not getting around to creating the article), and from what I recall, your initial description was spot on, whereas your explanation that it means "Great Dane" goes against what I thought it meant, "Spear-Dane". -- Capricorn (talk) 01:39, November 18, 2016 (UTC)

Oh, and another thing I've been wondering about: does Sanctuary District A only have a blue and a red zone, or might there be more? Because Sanctuary District A is written in a way that readers might take to suggests it's only those two districts, but the pages on the districts themselves don't. So either the page on the district or the pages on the zones might be improved by clarifying that. -- Capricorn (talk) 01:43, November 18, 2016 (UTC)

Any info you could give on this? I'm particularly curious about the Gar-Dane thing, the Sanctuary district thing is more of a detail. -- Capricorn (talk) 00:26, December 5, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, for not responding. I have been preoccupied with the aftermath of the election here in the States.

According to this link, the Gar-Danes are a branch of the Danes. Part of the name is derived from the word for "spear".

https://books.google.com/books?id=y7JCAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA122&lpg=PA122&dq=gar-danes&source=bl&ots=pLmHk7mI9E&sig=3gec5XGaiuA6dRqlybyis-1bs8A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiZm--L8NvQAhVDzmMKHU0MCRQQ6AEIJTAC#v=onepage&q=gar-danes&f=false

In another source, they are identified as the "spear-Danes", "Danes who fought with spears", "armed Danes", or "warlike Danes".

https://books.google.com/books?id=oXlii1KgDngC&pg=PA362&lpg=PA362&dq=gar-danes&source=bl&ots=4o06ONUJ2q&sig=x8Dp6qZ79Jczdf8xif0mILvKHQM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiZm--L8NvQAhVDzmMKHU0MCRQQ6AEIRDAJ#v=onepage&q=gar-danes&f=false

Hopefully, this information will help you with re-writing the article.--Memphis77 (talk) 01:23, December 5, 2016 (UTC)

I can't seem to actually look inside those books to see what they say (besides a too-short-to-be-usefull snippet in the first). But you're saying one of them calls them a branch of the Danes, so why the edit why you changed this into this, with both the change from group to nickname and the translation to "great" as opposed to spear, armed or warlike?
Sorry to hear that that election is causing you such grief, I wish I could help you with that more then just by being sympathetic. -- Capricorn (talk) 19:50, December 7, 2016 (UTC)

Since you've made no further comment, I've been proactive replaced your later description with your earlier one. I'm still a bit confused about your thinking, but at least you don't seem to think the earlier one is wrong or anything, and it seems better to me. It's a bit of a bold move, so I hope that's ok with you. -- Capricorn (talk) 23:55, January 12, 2017 (UTC)

At the time, I was busy with things at home. I was in agreement with you that the earlier assumption was correct, and that the page was inaccurate. As I was busy, I left it to you to rewrite the page. As I had left the page to you for editing, I did not touch the page when my schedule permitted. I am joyed that you rewrote the page.--Memphis77 (talk) 00:02, January 13, 2017 (UTC)

Glad to hear you speaking in the past tense about those events that so preoccupied you, hope you're doing good right now :) -- Capricorn (talk) 02:25, January 13, 2017 (UTC)

Carpenter street[]

I've only just noticed this, but can I ask, what's the basis of those Carpenter Street references you made articles on a few days ago? It seems highly relevant to this discussion. -- Capricorn (talk) 06:14, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

For the "Carpenter Street" entries, I added a bginfo note with a link to a page which shows the prop.--Memphis77 (talk) 06:22, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah but, what do you know about if the pages were seen on screen? -- Capricorn (talk) 06:38, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

I know what the site's author says about them.--Memphis77 (talk) 07:03, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

Forgot to keep you updated on this, but just so you'll know: those pages were turned into realworld articles, due to there being no good evidence that they made it on screen. When working from props, please always make sure that they were seen on screen. -- Capricorn (talk) 23:32, February 5, 2017 (UTC)

Star Trek Encyclopedia references[]

You may be interested in this. - Archduk3 00:14, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

Page moves[]

Just a FYI, RE: "Gravitron polarimeter -> Graviton polarimeter": when possible, if you move a page that only has a couple links (or a lot of links, if you're feeling ambitious) to the old misspelled name, feel free to correct those incoming links left behind from the old name to the new name so we're not leaving too many unneeded bread crumbs behind. Thanks! --Alan del Beccio (talk) 12:53, July 10, 2017 (UTC)

Evora PADD question[]

So I'm looking into that PADD info you added to Evora homeworld, among other pages (nice find btw!), because I'm thinking about what the implications would be of the word "Bartisi" being seen on screen. But I've tried to find the PADD in the movie, and don't see it. There's this one PADD that seems like it would be it, but it's only seen from the back, no screen. Could you help me find where the PADD was seen with the text visible? -- Capricorn (talk) 04:25, August 12, 2017 (UTC)

Can you be of help with this? -- Capricorn (talk) 16:10, August 15, 2017 (UTC)

I have done what I can with the information in the entries in question, by moving it to background information. The text was never seen. If there are to be further edits to this information in the entries, I leave that to your discretion.--Memphis77 (talk) 18:02, August 15, 2017 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Yeah then putting it in background is the right way to handle it. It actually makes things wat easier concerning the species name change too, still not sure how that would have had to be dealt with :)
Anyway, please be a bit more careful with this kind of stuff in the future, it's a pain when it goes undetected and people have to try to figure out what was going on years later... -- Capricorn (talk) 18:53, August 16, 2017 (UTC)

I appreciate your advice. Thanks for the tip.--Memphis77 (talk) 20:47, August 16, 2017 (UTC)

Question[]

Are there any notes on the Mellitus or the Drella in the encyclopedia? --LauraCC (talk) 20:03, August 23, 2017 (UTC)

Nope. Just what is said in the episode.--Memphis77 (talk) 20:08, August 23, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I was asking because of this interesting tidbit. Coincidence or not? --LauraCC (talk) 20:09, August 23, 2017 (UTC) Another question: does the Encyclopedia say anything about the rodent creatures of Dimorus? --LauraCC (talk) 18:59, August 31, 2017 (UTC)

Klingon skull stew?[]

Hi, Memphis77. Do you know if there's an image of the "Klingon skull stew" in the 4th edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia? I've been trying to find it in the episode "The Homecoming". --Defiant (talk) 17:20, September 2, 2017 (UTC)

Spoiler[]

Please don't forget to add the {{spoiler}} to your new DIS articles. Also, for dedication plaque personnel I've created Category:USS Shenzhou dedication plaque personnel. --Alan del Beccio (talk) 11:39, September 26, 2017 (UTC)

Ditto. --Alan del Beccio (talk) 12:56, October 9, 2017 (UTC)

Unused production material articles[]

I've noticed a few of these created by you lately, and I think you may need to work on your POV for those a bit. Consider this one. You're supposed to be talking about a prop, but instead until you reach the last sentence it reads exactly like an in-universe article.

Don't write something like:

"Laikan Military Academy was a place on Andoria. It was divided in departments" as if you're writing a general article.

But instead write:

"Laikan Military Academy was a place mentioned on a prop that wasn't used. According to this document, it was on Andoria and divided in departments", as if you're talking about an aspect of production. -- Capricorn (talk) 09:49, September 27, 2017 (UTC)

ST:SC and SC:TSRL[]

Please use the phrasing "Star Trek: Star Charts and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library", not "the Star Trek: Star Charts and the Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library". Unlike the Star Trek Encyclopedia, it's not grammatically correct to put a "the" before either of the names of these books, so please don't continue to do it. --Defiant (talk) 07:25, October 22, 2017 (UTC)

Template names[]

Template names should use natural capitalization and spacing, ex: {{Sol system}} instead of {{SolSystem}}. The old templates that don't do this just need to be converted. - Archduk3 23:52, October 22, 2017 (UTC)

Series citation[]

Please don't cite (repeatedly at that!) the episode "Choose Your Pain" as a TNG installment rather than a DIS one. --Defiant (talk) 06:38, October 24, 2017 (UTC)

How dare you make mistakes. I too shall harshly scold you instead of giving you a gentle fyi. --Alan del Beccio (talk) 06:45, October 24, 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Alan. I'm not sure if your comment was directed at me or Memphis77. If it was directed at me, my comment was fully intended to be a polite request (you might notice I used the word "please" for example), certainly not a harsh scolding. Not really sure what the problem is... --Defiant (talk) 07:28, October 24, 2017 (UTC)

StarTrek.com v Startrek.com[]

Please use 'StarTrek.com' when referring to the official website. That's the proper nomenclature for the website. Thanks. -- sulfur (talk) 13:03, October 27, 2017 (UTC)

New pages[]

In the future, could you possibly take a look at why you are using disambiguation links in page titles before creating new articles with qualifiers. "Dewa (star)" should have been at "Dewa", "Archanis (star)" should have been at "Archanis", etc. If there is a disambiguation page in the name space, such as at "Archanis", and there are no other natural "Archanis" titles, then the disambiguation page should be moved to "Archanis (disambiguation)" and/or removed altogether (based on you using all those other Archanis references on the star page you created). I had hoped you might have caught on last week when I had to move a bunch of your new pages to the proper locations, but I guess I was wrong. Either way, thanks for your contributions, they are much appreciated. --Alan del Beccio (talk) 11:48, October 30, 2017 (UTC)

One more minor thing, could it be possible to include map references in a subsection of episode articles, just to separate dialog references from displayed references? Something akin to what is done here. Thanks! --Alan del Beccio (talk) 11:58, October 30, 2017 (UTC)

I check the link before I wrote an entry. When the link goes to an already existing page, this is when I do a thing like Archanis (star). I am not sure how to do the other thing you mentioned. I will create a new references subsection for the map references.--Memphis77 (talk) 12:01, October 30, 2017 (UTC)

Source error[]

Hey, through my watchlist I happened to notice that on your last edit to Vulcan (star) you added a note but seemingly cited the wrong Ted Sullivan tweet. I'm pretty sure I fixed it, but I know your edits are often part of a series, so I wanted to let you know in case there's other pages on which the same error might potentially exist and be in need of fixing. -- Capricorn (talk) 12:57, November 29, 2017 (UTC)

hi I am trying to reach Gramalkin and saw you posted his art and a reference as was not is do you have any info?

Link fixes[]

I realize these are easy fixes that I could do, therefore, for that very reason I'd like to point out and invite you to again finish what you started by fixing these Hutzel Gary and Curry Dan links. Thanks. –Alan del Beccio (talk) 14:04, January 5, 2018 (UTC)

"His Way" links[]

Assuming these references are from the songs, could you move them to separate reference lists for each song? Like how the Phylum search mode animals are listed separately in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home's references. --LauraCC (talk) 15:57, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

Category[]

Hi. Please don't add the Category:Performers to articles about stand-ins. I can completely go with the decision to add the category to the articles about photo doubles as they "perform" on screen. But stand-ins don't act in front of the camera. Thanks. Tom (talk) 16:40, January 26, 2018 (UTC)

dt[]

Never have the displayed title of an article be something other than the actual title, disambiguations must be displayed. - Archduk3 15:47, February 5, 2018 (UTC)

Surrica's map[]

Take a closer look at it. That's not an exact reproduction of what's seen on screen, it's an artist's interpretation that while close differs from the real thing in a number of subtle ways (and on top of that even has typos). It should be in the background section at best, definitely not in the in-universe section of the articles. -- Capricorn (talk) 06:24, February 18, 2018 (UTC)

Maybe we can get someone who can get screen grabs of the chart for these articles that has clarity -Memphis77 (talk) 06:43, February 18, 2018 (UTC)

Already here, isn't it? Or am I misunderstanding you? -- Capricorn (talk) 12:00, February 21, 2018 (UTC)

There is a moment just before the screen cap where the 'northwest' corner of the map is seen. This portion of the map is covered by Lorca's head.--Memphis77 (talk) 12:09, February 21, 2018 (UTC)

It will be some time before I get back to Discovery pages. I am working, starting at the beginning, on the pages for the performers who appeared in Star Trek. BTW, Sulfur edited that page after the star chart was introduced to the page. My expectation was if there was an issue, he would have raised it.--Memphis77 (talk) 12:16, February 21, 2018 (UTC)

Seeing that I'm not all that up on Discovery yet, I likely wouldn't have noticed the issue anyhow. :) -- sulfur (talk) 13:17, February 21, 2018 (UTC)

When I get there, hopefully, there will be a screen cap which includes the missing portion. If so, I will gladly change the image.--Memphis77 (talk) 13:24, February 21, 2018 (UTC)

No worries, I'll just take a look myself at what should/could be improved when I find some time. Starting with requesting the complete shot of the map at Requested files. -- Capricorn (talk) 14:30, February 21, 2018 (UTC)

I have taken the first step. I changed the image at Sherman's Planet.--Memphis77 (talk) 14:31, February 21, 2018 (UTC)

That actually looks pretty great, with the complete map. I will apply that change to the other articles. -- Capricorn (talk) 14:58, February 26, 2018 (UTC)

nowiki in quote template[]

Please don't remove this - without it, the limitations of the template mean the whole attribution line gets bolded, when only the active speaker should be. -- Michael Warren | Talk 08:15, February 18, 2018 (UTC)

Sidebars[]

When adding sidebars to articles, please make sure that you're linking to the appropriate page with links in them. Especially for characters. Don't just guess, look at the main text of the article, and notice what is being used to link to the characters, ie "{{dis|Kara|Eymorg}}" vs "[[Kara]]".

Cleaning up all of these incorrect links is a fairly frustrating chore for those following in your footsteps. -- sulfur (talk) 12:43, February 24, 2018 (UTC)

Also be sure to use the proper redirect link. Thanks. --Alan (talk) 17:51, March 21, 2018 (UTC)

Link[]

Fyi, the link Actor is in-universe and should not be used in a sidebar. Tom (talk) 12:14, February 25, 2018 (UTC)

Computer statistics[]

Hey, do you know where the sign for computer statistics is? I looked but couldn't find it legible in the episode. I've asked @ Memory Alpha:Requested files already, and it was suggested I ask you. --LauraCC (talk) 16:32, March 13, 2018 (UTC)

FA review project[]

Hi Memphis. I am currently in the process of going through the FA list with a view to bringing the article's statuses up to date as some of them haven't been looked at for over ten years and have changed quite significantly in that time. Consider it a little project of mine. As an established user, I was hoping I could ask you to keep an eye on the Memory Alpha:Featured article reviews page from time to time and perhaps weigh in on any discussions there to help speed up the review process? I'm not asking you to necessarily agree with anything I post there, just trying to encourage discussion on the subject. Thanks in advance. --| TrekFan ^{Open a channel} 17:15, March 27, 2018 (UTC)

Redirect links[]

Since you obviously didn't read my post a week ago, because you did it again, please use the appropriate redirect links for unnamed characters when linking to said character's pages. --Alan (talk) 15:48, March 28, 2018 (UTC)

Wrong information[]

Through all your edits regarding the sidebars, do you ever check your information than just simply adding something? You've mixed up two actors (Michael Eugene Fairman and Michael Fairman) after the wrong information was removed some time ago. I revert your edits now. Would be really helpful if you check information before adding it. Tom (talk) 17:45, April 4, 2018 (UTC)

Block[]

I've have mentioned this on your talk page twice previously, and you've acknowledged none of my requests. Please STOP doing THIS, that is, adding the unabbreviated links to pages (ie don't use "Unnamed Humans (23rd century)#Kirk's nephews 001" use the redirect link we created to replace that Kirk's nephews 001.) Everytime I think I've completed all of this link corrections, I find new pages not using them, and they are all from your sidebar additions. Once you acknowledge this and any of the above comments you've ignored, you're welcome to continue contributing. --Alan (talk) 12:35, April 5, 2018 (UTC)

I do not know what to say. I am checking and rechecking the links many times. However, some of the links are taking me to somewhere else on the page. For example, using the redirect link, if I check on the link for Security Guard in Robert Justman's sidebar, I am taken first to the top of the article than to the Engineering Lieutenant #2, played by Arch Whiting, than I finally land on Security Guard #5 and #6. The link should take me directly to Security Guard #2. I tested it multiple times. So, I attempted a solution with the other sidebars so that if I clicked on the link, I would be taken directly to the destination. I have seen this issue repeatedly on all of these type of article pages.--Memphis77 (talk) 13:01, April 5, 2018 (UTC)

The Justman link (USS Enterprise operations security guard 002) worked just fine for me. The page acts as if it reorients itself twice, but once everything was loaded it stopped right on "Security guard #2" like it was supposed to. --Alan (talk) 13:11, April 5, 2018 (UTC)

Inconsistency[]

Alpha Cygni says that it's the primary of the Cygnus system. Cygnus system says that Alpha Cygnus is the system's primary. I'm guessing that one of those might be wrong? -- Capricorn (talk) 15:03, April 19, 2018 (UTC)

It's a typo. Thanks for pointing that out for me.--Memphis77 (talk) 15:06, April 19, 2018 (UTC)

Follow up question: Where are you seeing Alpha Cygni exactly? Most of the information about that system I'm seeing on this graphic, but I'm not finding Alpha Cygni anywhere. -- Capricorn (talk) 13:48, May 25, 2018 (UTC)

Sidebar[]

Hi. Could you stop removing the lines from the sidebars of the actors and production staffers? It is annoying to re-add them when adding further information. Tom (talk) 17:42, April 23, 2018 (UTC)

Sidebars (again)[]

You've been adding a number of links to the Enterprise, but linking to {{USS|Enterprise}}. This is not a specific ship. Please ensure that you include the registry (like you've done on a number of occasions with the SECOND link to the ship in the sidebar). -- sulfur (talk) 12:41, April 27, 2018 (UTC)

MIA[]

Missing in action, Killed in action, and Wounded in action are all redirect links. You don't have to link to the list page first. --LauraCC (talk) 16:07, May 18, 2018 (UTC)

Unnamed Enterprise-D personnel[]

Do they really need 83 operations division personnel, 48 science division and 53 command division personnel in one section of three articles? SketchFan98 (talk) 07:07, June 28, 2018 (UTC)

I am not the person to ask. Ask one of the admins or ask the community in the forums.--Memphis77 (talk) 07:14, June 28, 2018 (UTC)

Ok but I'm just want to know why there is lots of them, and I think someone missed a few. SketchFan98 (talk) 08:12, June 28, 2018 (UTC)

Source?[]

Could you please cite your source by on-screen material? -- Tom (talk) 17:52, July 6, 2018 (UTC)

Fishing boats[]

Are you sure the ships referenced in the Fishing boat article are fishing boats? Because I think they're sitting in a yacht club. -- Capricorn (talk) 14:10, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. They are ships affiliated with the St. Francis Yacht Club. Maybe you would like to make the necessary changes? Again, thank you.--Memphis77 (talk) 18:17, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

Well I suppose if those aren't fishing boats the correct course of action would be putting the article up for deletion as that's the only reference. But can I ask, by what process did you decide they were fishing boats? I feel like I still don't have the complete picture here. -- Capricorn (talk) 14:51, July 27, 2018 (UTC)

I honestly don't remember. Deletion sounds good.--Memphis77 (talk) 15:10, July 27, 2018 (UTC)

Nope, VOY: "Fair Haven" mentions them by name. --LauraCC (talk) 15:12, July 27, 2018 (UTC)

Oh, cool -- Capricorn (talk) 15:56, July 27, 2018 (UTC)

I've since added that reference. You need only remove the earlier one. --LauraCC (talk) 15:57, July 27, 2018 (UTC)

The Yateses[]

They're already listed under Yates family. When we list unnamed members of the whatever family, do they go on the family page alone, the unnamed (species name) page, or both? --LauraCC (talk) 15:10, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

I did not know this page existed. The links on Kasidy Yates' page were in red. So, I went to where other unnamed family members of Human characters resided, if they lived in the 24th century. There, I created the new entries. IIRC, there are family members of Janeway and Sisko listed there. There might be others.--Memphis77 (talk) 18:05, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

See Tigan family. -- sulfur (talk) 18:27, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

Counter. See Jadzia Dax's family at Unnamed Trill. And, on the same page, there is Ezri Tigan's father, who I would think would get mention in the in-universe text of Tigan family.--Memphis77 (talk) 19:11, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

That's my point. The family page should be about the family and link off to "unnamed" pages where applicable. -- sulfur (talk) 22:07, July 27, 2018 (UTC)

Should new pages be created for all the named families on the Unnamed Human pages?--Memphis77 (talk) 22:40, July 27, 2018 (UTC)

I think it's if they're identifiable as "Surname family". --LauraCC (talk) 15:51, July 28, 2018 (UTC)

Generator[]

Please do NOT put references to disambiguation pages. ESPECIALLY when those references are already referenced to point to the appropriate page. This creates a lot of cleanup for other people to manage. "Generator" is a disambiguation. There are a lot of specific types of generators that all of these links should likely point to. Most of the pages you added this link to already link to the appropriate type of generator. -- sulfur (talk) 12:33, August 22, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the FYI.--Memphis77 (talk) 13:14, August 22, 2018 (UTC)

Reported green[]

Later in the episode, Bailey asks for a green light from deck five and phaser station two. I think that's what the reported green refers to. I've added a separate usage of the color green from the same episode, however. --LauraCC (talk) 15:41, September 18, 2018 (UTC)

Metaphor#Idioms v Idiom[]

When linking to a section on Idioms, please use the "Idiom" redirect rather than linking to "Metaphor#Idioms". It gives a better grasp for maintenance as to where links are going. Thanks! -- sulfur (talk) 14:33, October 25, 2018 (UTC)

Also, fyi, use {{stone}} instead of [[stone]], because it is really the simplest way to deal with what is otherwise a disambiguation link to probably one of the most common generic terms used on MA. --Alan (talk) 14:21, October 26, 2018 (UTC)

renaming[]

If something that did not have a correct or proper name is finally or correctly given a name in a new production, feel free to move it on your own. It's not required to put it up for suggestion, especially if it is a newly stated fact.--Alan (talk) 03:42, March 8, 2019 (UTC)

However in the case of the shuttlecraft, we may choose to give it a name that corresponds with an existing name, like Class F shuttlecraft <---> Class C shuttlecraft. --Alan (talk) 03:45, March 8, 2019 (UTC)

Unwritten pages[]

So... regarding Coulomb (links).. if something is listed on said-type-of-page with the "rl" template, and someone clicks the "links" link and nothing shows up, then in the simplest terms, the link shouldn't be there. If nobody can actually find the source of the term to implement the creation of an article based on the term, per the intent of why items are listed on the unwritten page pages, then nobody has the ability to follow up the origin of the reference, because there are no other sources to the link. In other words, click the blue link above and tell me how that is useful to anyone? --Alan (talk) 16:59, March 27, 2019 (UTC)

Category removals[]

Just FYI, I've found a few pages that you've recently edited where your edits somehow removed the categories from the page. You should double check pages you edit to ensure that this doesn't happen. -- sulfur (talk) 02:36, April 6, 2019 (UTC)

Class C Warp[]

Hello Memphis77, may I ask where in DIS: "If Memory Serves" you saw the graphic showing speed figures of the Class C shuttlecraft? Sadly I failed to locate it multiple times ... Thanks, 93.104.168.4 23:05, April 17, 2019 (UTC)

IIRC, these figures appeared to the left of the video showing the destruction of the DSC 05. It was mixed in with a plan of the shuttle and other data.--Memphis77 (talk) 23:27, April 17, 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! That even was the scene I supopsed it to be, but the small letters are completely illegible on my monitor. Thanks again, 93.104.188.238 15:51, April 18, 2019 (UTC)

Enterprise dedication plaque[]

Where do you see the Enterprise's dedication plague in Such Sweet Sorrow (episode) and how can you tell the names?Jkirk8907 (talk) 18:29, April 21, 2019 (UTC)

Trekcore has an image of the dedication plaque. Parts of it are illegible, unfortunately. I may be to re-construct some of it; however, there will be gaps.--Memphis77 (talk) 18:38, April 21, 2019 (UTC)

I am using earlier dedication plaques as a template and knowing that all of the names were from people who worked on the show. However, again, there will be gaps as the readability is really bad, especially on the right side of the plaque.--Memphis77 (talk) 18:43, April 21, 2019 (UTC)

Since you're adding links, add the category too. - Archduk3 20:09, April 21, 2019 (UTC)

Possible typo?[]

I don't know all that much about production personnel and where to get information on them, but when you linked to "Glenn Keenan" here, is it possible that you meant Glen Keenan? -- Capricorn (talk) 18:11, April 29, 2019 (UTC)

Dedication Plaque personnel[]

When you're adding new ones, please be CERTAIN to add them to the episode they're from, include them on the relevant dedication plaque page (if it exists), and if from Discovery season 2, tag them with a spoiler. -- sulfur (talk) 15:02, April 30, 2019 (UTC)

Mental capacity[]

I noticed that intellectual capacity and mental capacity are listed on two different "unwritten" lists (anatomy/physiology and medical, respectively). I imagine these refer to the same thing. Which do you think is more appropriate? I would think physiology, as Spock mentions in the same thought: "My physical reflexes are down, my mental capacity is reduced." ~Bobogoobo (talk) 21:52, July 7, 2020 (UTC)

I pulled these definitions from the internet.

Intellectual capacity can be defined as the ability of an individual to adapt, think, rationalise, change, learn, analyze and act.

Menal capacity is sufficient understanding and memory to comprehend in a general way the situation in which one finds oneself and the nature, purpose, and consequence of any act or transaction into which one proposes to enter.

These sound psychological in nature to me, as they stem from the mind. So, I would say that both belong in medical, as this seems to be where psychological terms are being placed right now. Hope that helps--Memphis77 (talk) 22:11, July 7, 2020 (UTC)

I checked my e-mail address. It works. I checked my settings and I have it clicked that I want to be notified of changes to my talk page. So, I do not know why I am not being notified.Memphis77 (talk) 00:14, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Weird, cause that's the email that I used to reach out to you. I'll send you a message on another wiki, so perhaps you can check it out there? You should receive a notification of that in the top right of your screen. Now we are really pushing the deadline though aka the end of the business day today (Thursday Dec 17), so hopefully you'll get the message on the other wiki and can email me your reply asap.

Just to ping this up in the RC again, in case it's not showing on notifications again. -- Sulfur (talk) 12:08, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Either way, I've filed a ticket about this, but I also advise to send in a specific use case to Special:Contact so this can be looked at, as it is not normal for you to not receive any emails from Fandom if you checked the necessary preferences and have verified your email is indeed working and the emails are not ending up in your junk mail. Lady Lostris /  SOAP 12:27, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

I received your email, thanks for that! I replied as well, would you mind letting me know if you received that (not that I said anything really relevant, I just want to know if you can receive any email we send you). Lady Lostris /  SOAP 13:19, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

What is your source for this? I don't see it on IMDB, and it seems most of the internet/google refs linking the two are based/authored after this article/was created. –Gvsualan (talk) 13:46, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

It has been a long time since I did that page. IIRC, I saw that it was an unwritten article and decided to write an article for this person. To find the source for this person, I suppose someone will have to do a search through the history of the page for "The Way of the Warrior" to learn who first put in the name.Memphis77 (talk) 23:46, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

So it was added to that page by Sketchfan and prior to that added to Alexander's page by an IP user. Maybe it's a legit bone someone threw us, maybe it's crap. Unfortunately, without some sort of documentation, assuming it is crap prevails, so I've posted the page for deletion. Thanks for the reply. –Gvsualan (talk) 12:29, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Visual Editor[]

The best way to use MA, as of late, is to stop using the visual editor. In fact we stongly discourge its use altogether because it does more harm than good and it is just all around terrible.

To update to the preferred "Source editor", please do the following:

• Select "my preferences";
• Select the "editing" tab;
• Under the 'Editor' heading, change 'Preferred editor:' to "source editor" in the drop down menu (also be sure the "Enable the editing toolbar" is unchecked.)
• Click 'save'

This should make your editing experience "more like normal", or at least the way it should be used. Further tweaking may be required after that but doing this would be a good start. --Gvsualan (talk) 03:02, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Fyi[]

File: Bajoran system.jpg is not a "canon" image and probably should not be used in the "in universe" aspect of those Bajor articles. --Gvsualan (talk) 01:55, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

I have done what I can to fix some of the planet pages (Bajor I to Bajor VII) for the Bajoran system and added citation info for the image. I do not know what to do with Bajor and planets Bajor IX-X and Bajor XII to XIV. Our information about these worlds is based largely on this map, with the orbital position of Bajor also coming from this map.Memphis77 (talk) 03:12, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

It seems like, if what is stayed on the image page about it being shown at some point on DS9 is true, then Jorg would have found it. --Gvsualan (talk) 03:21, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Recently, I watched the episodes of DS9 to the end of season 6. I paid particular attention to those episodes where a comet was mentioned as approaching or being in the system, as the map shows the path of Comet Alpha. I never saw the image. It could be in season 7; however, I am doubtful.Memphis77 (talk) 03:51, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Quadrants[]

I think you should be cautious about assuming that planets are in the Alpha or Beta Quadrants. By the 2380s, the Bajoran wormhole would've been reopened for years. And by the 32nd century, we have absolutely no idea what spatial shortcuts, natural or artificial, may be in use (e.g. the courier network). -- UncertainError (talk) 22:17, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Star charts seen in the third season cover an area of space between the Cardassian Zone/Ferengi Territory (the Alpha Quadrant) and the Klingon Zone (the Beta Quadrant). The Emerald Chain's territory is depicted on these maps as lying in between, so it is not a stretch to say that the locations mentioned are in this region.Memphis77 (talk) 22:27, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

The galaxy map in Fed HQ has planets from all four quadrants and are color coded by diplomatic status, indicating at minimum contact with them. And just because most of the Emerald Chain's territory is in the AQ/BQ doesn't mean it all must be. Again, this is presumption unsupported by evidence. -- UncertainError (talk) 22:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

As further collaboration, the proposed peace treaty between the Emerald Chain and the Federation mentioned these two quadrants as being the areas of operation for these two powers.

In your post, you wrote that the colors denote diplomatic status. Is this based on something said by the production team, or is this your speculation?Memphis77 (talk) 22:42, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

The color coding is my own observation. If that's not what it means, then it's remarkable coincidence, and you won't catch me editing articles on this basis. Anyway, all I'm suggesting is more caution in extrapolating what hasn't been directly stated in canon. -- UncertainError (talk) 23:02, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Model HB-88[]

You're welcome to fix all the "Aeon type" links to Model HB-88. –Gvsualan (talk) 20:26, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

This has been done now.

As Alan suggests though, please ensure that you update links WHEN you move an article. -- Sulfur (talk) 20:36, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

UFP shuttle registries[]

There's definitely a mark visible between "UFP" and the number inside those shuttles, which is why I added a hyphen in the registries. -- UncertainError (talk) 02:58, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

question about Star Trek Encyclopedia 4th edition[]

Hi Memphis,

I have an Encyclopedia question for you since you're the only person I know who has a copy of the 4th edition Encyclopedia.

Dr. Sevrin is given the first name Thomas in the Star Trek Encyclopedia 3rd edition (page 558, "Way to Eden" entry). Can you tell me if this reference still exists in the 4th edition? --NetSpiker (talk) 01:09, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Never mind, someone answered my question on TrekBBS. The answer is yes. --NetSpiker (talk) 01:16, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

I apologize for not responding earlier to your question. I have been in bed most of the day with an illness. I am relieved to hear that someone answered your question.Memphis77 (talk) 04:08, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

No worries. Hope you feel better soon. --NetSpiker (talk) 04:30, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Template use[]

FYI, the {{'}} template does NOT need to be used unless it immediately follows (or precedes) the use of the ' character (specifically when it would make text italic or italic text bold). -- Sulfur (talk) 15:59, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Soong daughters[]

Both Persephatta and Persephassa are mentioned at different points (in Two of One and Mercy), and both are actually variant names of Persephone. And it should be Proserpina, not Prosperina, the former is the goddess's Roman name, and was spoken by Soong in Two of One, Kore later only mispronounced it as Prosperina in Mercy. JagoAndLitefoot (talk) 11:28, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for leaving a comment. I know that most of the names chosen by Dr. Soong for his daughters were variants of the name Persephone, save for Artemis and Despoina. For myself, I did not hear Proserpina in "Two of One", probably because it was in the overlapping portion of Soong's logs. I went with the CC spelling of the name. If it is in error, it can be fixed. And, Persephassa can be added to the list of Soong's daughters and have a page made for her.Memphis77 (talk) 19:34, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

"The Star Gazer" cadet list[]

I've checked the episode and I don't think the front of the PADD with the cadet assignments is visible at any point. -- UncertainError (talk) 15:59, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for leaving a comment. If you feel that something needs to be done with these references, please feel free to make the changes. For now, I am getting the information on the board.Memphis77 (talk) 17:48, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Spelling/punctuation[]

Please note that the correct spelling/punctuation is "its location", not "its' location". The word "its'" is only used for the pleural possessive of "it". I've had to fix several dozen so far. Thanks. -- Renegade54 (talk) 19:47, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. I will keep this in mind when I come across this grammatical situation in the future.Memphis77 (talk) 20:01, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Antares class[]

Why are you so certain that the Antares class reference from SNW is the Antares-class from the 24th century rather than the Antares-type from the 23rd century? -- UncertainError (talk) 20:51, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

First thing to know, I am irritable today. I have been experiencing day after day of anxiety attacks, so if I come off as rude or abrasive I apologize. Now, as to your current issue, the question posed to me makes me think that you did not read the page for the first class. If that happened, this class might not have been described as coming from the 24th century. This class was in service from the 22nd to the 24th centuries. Moving past that, we do not know the canonical class name for the Antares from "Charlie X" and that leaves the only Federation class that is canonically known as Antares. Following the rules of this wiki, it follows that, until we get further information like a canonical class name for the Charlie X Antares, the Antares class mentioned in the episode has to be the first ship class.Memphis77 (talk) 21:28, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

I shouldn't have to be pointing out how wrong this statement is to someone who's been here that long. --Gvsualan (talk) 11:01, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Instagram links[]

Please use the {{Instagram}} template rather than the {{el}} template. -- Sulfur (talk) 19:27, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Links[]

When adding a link, try to keep the "the" or "a" outside of the link text. Such as a [[Federation star chart|star chart]] rather than [[Federation star chart|a star chart]].

Thanks. -- Sulfur (talk) 12:55, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Any chance you could recall where one might find this "Evolution of Intelligent Life on Planet Denkir IV" you've referenced on several related articles to the one linked above? –Gvsualan (talk) 13:26, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, I saw a picture of the chart from one of the many auctions for Star Trek props. Someone did an article about the chart in 2020. https://ajhalliwell.blogspot.com/2020/06/evolution-of-intelligent-life-on-planet.htmlMemphis77 (talk) 08:06, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Ship pages with registry in the title[]

Please remember on these pages that the 'dt' tag in the sidebar MUST include the registry and must match the title of the article. -- Sulfur (talk) 10:35, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Which is also the preferred over using the class name, but all that aside, apparently you missed my note/comment on the first two that I moved: instead of creating a qualified article > just overwrite the redirect, esp for non canon stuff. –Gvsualan (talk) 17:52, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Merge for Starship Deploy Status and Conspiracy ships[]

Do you feel we should put in a merge/retcon request for the following to match what was done with the USS Yamato:

• USS Endeavour NCC-39222 merged into USS Endeavour NCC-25330
• USS Excalibur NCC-21534 merged into USS Excalibur NCC-26517

‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 15:01, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

For both the Endeavour and the Excalibur, they had each one page. This was before your time. Then someone decided to make two pages for Endeavour and the Excalibur, arguing that these could be four different ships, especially as we don't know the class of each ship. I feel until we have more information about these ships to let the matter rest.Memphis77 (talk) 15:26, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
