Welcome to the project!

Thanks for joining the Stargate WikiProject. We hope you like it here and become an active member!

Some Wikipedians have formed a Project to better organize information in articles related to Stargate and its spin-offs. It attempts to coordinate collaborative writing efforts, organize and create standards for making good articles. It endeavours to create a good reference for the Stargate universe in encyclopedic terms. If you want to join, simply help out and add your name to the Participants.

Goals and scope

This Wikiproject aims to create profiles for all major facets, characters, races and technologies in the Stargate universe, and create a consistent look for each kind of page. Most new topics can be incorporated into existing articles; we do not need fancruft or pages on minor things, such as The Stargate's Third Chevron. It is also our goal to create a complete and comprehensive episode guide in the form of season articles, and where applicable, episode articles, and to organize all Stargate pages and link them all systematically, making the Stargate database easy to navigate.

    Five Pillars

    The following are the five basic rules you need to consider as a WikiProject Stargate editor.

    1. We want our articles to be significant and meaningful, not fancruft or about minor things.
    2. We want to avoid treating Stargate as if it is real.
    3. We want everything we say to have verifiable external sources.
    4. We want the Stargate database on Wikipedia to be comprehensive and navigable.
    5. We want our articles to be interesting and understood by an outside reader.


    Help improve the database

    The best way to help out if you're a new contributor is to adopt an article. Browse through our Stargate database and when you come to a bad article, make it better; and if the article really has potential, adopt it. This means that you'll work on that article for a while, until you've made it really good, and a valuable addition to the Stargate articles on Wikipedia.
