Wikia

Memory Gamma (or MG) is the place for all your Star Trek fan fiction sometimes known as fanon. Please contribute whatever you want that's Star Trek! However, please keep it to the canon timeline; if you want to throw out canon, please do so in an alternate reality. You may add some ideas from Star Trek books, but that's mainly for Memory Beta. Please, before you start editing Memory Gamma read the rules and regulations below, thank you, and welcome aboard.

Logging in Edit

Logging is not required for editing, or creating pages, but I highly recommend doing it. What it will do for you is allow you to become more than just an ip address so your will get credit for your works. Remember, you don't have to use your real name for you user account.

See, Special:Signup.

Editing policy Edit

Everyone who visits Memory Gamma, can create and edit any pages on the wiki, except for protected pages. To begin a page or a story you first need an idea, please have an idea before you create one. If you are creating an article there are a few things that are required:

Having the page's title in bold at the beginning of the page.
Putting links to other pages of interest using brackets like this [[ ]].
Using good grammar, spelling, etc.
Categorizing your page
And putting at least eight sentences of content on your page (and remember to put a space after periods!)

To begin creating your first page, click here. You don't need any special rights to create or edit a page, you don't even have to log in, but if the article is not yours, ask the creator of the page. 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.

If you are new to editing wikis, please see Memory Gamma:Formating.

Templates Edit

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 and Memory Gamma:Sidebar Templates for a list of templates and the usage of them.

Images Edit

Images are one of the only things that you have to be logged in to do. If you want to upload an image for one of your articles, 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.

To upload an image, see Special:Upload.

Deletions Edit

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, or against the image on the article's talk page. If you have a page you want deleted then just put {{delete}} on your article. If your article was deleted without you asking, you may have broken one of the editing policy rules above.

Discussions Edit

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.

More Rules and Regulations Edit

The Basic Memory Gamma Rules Edit

You won't get blocked for these minor rules being broken. Just try to follow them.

Signatures: Please sign your comments with ~~~~, it makes identification of who signed the comments easier.
Admin Notification: Please if you are going to make changes to any template, get the change approved by an administrator.
Need help? Ask.: If you cannot fix the problem yourself, please ask for an admins help. If you don't, the problem may get worse by accident.
Deletions: Please if you want something deleted just put {{delete}} on the page. It will put the page in a deletion category instead of having you put messages on talk pages.
Page Length: If you create a page and its length is only one sentence, you have 24 hours to expand the article or it will be deleted. By one sentence I mean no categories, no sidebar, and no images.
Canon and Fanon: On Memory Gamma when it comes to your fanon, please don't make it clash with the canon of Star Trek. If you want to mess with canon, there's a little thing called "Alternate Realities".

Star Trek Fanon and Other Fanon Edit

A trend going on around Memory Gamma is that people can create pages that involve other Sci-Fi (or SyFy) shows, this is not allowed. The thing that is allowed are stories about people crossing-over into another Sci-Fi show universe (such as Stargate, Star Wars, Back to the Future, etc.). So you can make as many stories as you want about Captain Kirk and the Enterprise being transported to "a galaxy far, far away", and meeting a little green man, named Yoda. But you cannot create a Memory Gamma page for the person Yoda, this goes for all other Sci-Fi shows. I'm for sure that we're all fans of other Sci-Fi shows here, I am too, but please obey this rule and just link the person's name to the proper wiki.

Content limitations Edit

The following limitations come from the Star Wars Fanon Wiki, but are edited to suit Memory Gamma's purposes.

No profanity: Mild profanity is tolerable, as long as it is not excessive. If a user does use major profanity, they will be given a couple warnings to stop before a ban is issued.

Pornography is not permitted and will result in a permanent ban.

Sexuality. Star Trek series' and fanon always have a lot to do with sex, love, lust, etc., but content that is overly erotic in nature is not permitted. Any characters that are sane, to human standards, should not be sexist or objectivists to people who are male, female, and/or both. Images with a scarcity of clothing should be in good taste and used sparingly, not splashed all over the article. Descriptions of sexual activity is prohibited.

Racism should not be deleted from Memory Gamma unless it is against an Earthly race (i.e: Caucasians, Hispanics, Africans, Asians). We are all equal, so get used to it, or be banned.

Beliefs and Religion are not prohibited unless the belief is used in making threats against users or Earthly races. Banning policies will be in order if this happens.
