Wikia Guided Tours: "Space Opera"
My name’s Matt and I’m a community development associate for Wikia. I’m in charge of a monthly feature called “Guided Tours” where I interview experts on a given topic, asking questions about how they got into their area of expertise and how they recommend others do the same. Our next feature is going to be Space Opera -- and Stargate definitely fits the bill!

If you could provide answers, as short or long as you see fit, to the questions below, your responses will be featured in the article. Check out the last Guided Tours article for an example.

Thanks!

1. Tell me a bit about yourself and your involvement with the Stargate wiki.

2. How did you get into Space Opera? Into Stargate?

3. How would you recommend a beginner get into Space Opera? Any particular books/movies/comics/TV shows/games/etc. that would serve as a good starting point?

4. Anything you wouldn’t recommend?

5. Any additional advice you’d give to someone new to Space Opera?

6. What resources on your wiki might be useful to an aspiring Space Opera fan?

Hey, sorry about the confusion on the Metamorphosis page. I was adding my signature as was suggested. I also joined the community and looked over some of the guidelines. Wiki procedures are still pretty new to me. I like what you've been doing here. I'm a huge SG-1 fan and this is the first place I search. Keep up the good work.

Rodney McKay photos from 48 Hours and Redemption Part 1 and 2
You can get rid of them if you wish. There's no point having them up on the site if they're not going to be used. User:SocialOutsider.
 * I actually wasn't able to find any unused rodney mckay images from those episodes. But, if you ever come across an image you think should be deleted, just place the template on it and I'll be able to find it super easy. Best Regards Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:01, February 27, 2014 (UTC)

Major Events tag
Just wanted if a "Major Events" tag is allowed. If not because it ruins the show and exposes spoilers, then it's alright. :) User:SocialOutsider.
 * We have a spoiler tag template here, but we don't actually use it anymore given that there haven't been any new episodes lately. And technically, everything is a spoiler if you're new to the show, so there's really no way to prevent against that scenario. Hope that answers your question! Sorry it took me a while, heh.

Unleashed
If I wanted to include information about what the members of SG-1 did/had done to them during Unleashed, would that be allowed? --Revan&#39;s Exile (talk) (Contribs) 19:47, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * That would be fine given that 'Unleashed' is considered officially licensed material. Just make sure that you site any additions you make appropriately by using the template, which is written as . Thanks! -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:33, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

automated welcome messages
You might want to limit your automated welcome messages to registered users, since most IP users 1) often change IPs from time to time, and 2) don't honestly give a shit enough to make more than 2-3 edits. Also, you really should consider archiving the older sections your talk page, since it it way too long to navigate. 70.188.146.179 @ 16:50, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

A question of approach/policy
I'm curious how much you feel any one user should amend a single page, since SocialOutsider has made 42 of the last 50 changes to Meredith Rodney McKay, all in the last four months. 20:13, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey Jiskran. As long as all the edits seem to be productive, users can edit pages as much as they'd like. I checked out SocialOutsider's edits and they all appeared to be legitimate. I don't really have a limit as to how many is too much, because usually the more edits the better. And in a lot of instances, (and especially for longer articles) users will edit only a few sections of a page at a time and then go back multiple times to edit other sections. The Rondey Mckay article is the third longest on this site, so a large number of edits makes sense. Cheers! &mdash; Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 07:47, March 16, 2014 (UTC)

Request Page removal
I have made a consoladated F-302 page. Could you remove the old F-302 page as well as the X-302 page they are just redirects now. Also, I created a blank F-302 Multi-Role Fighter-Interceptor page by mistake. Could you remove that as well?

TauriEngineer (talk) (Contribs) 15:49, March 29, 2014 (UTC) TauriEngineer
 * Actually, both the X-302 article and the F-302 article serve a purpose. The X-302 is the experimental version of the craft, whereas the F-302 is the final production model of the craft. The same is true for our articles BC-303 and X-303. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 17:13, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

I understand this, I consolidated both the experimental history and production history onto one page. Having two pages, for what is essentially the same vehicle is redundant and unneccessary. I hope you will look at the page and leave my addition

Thank you for your consideration.

This would be like having a Colonel Oniell page plus a General Oniell page and so on.

The F-302 Multi-Role Fighter-Interceptor page is the same as the F-302 fighter-interceptor page. The F-302 Multi-Role Fighter-Interceptor page should be deleted.--TyphussJediVader (talk) (Contribs) 17:51, March 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * There was actually quite a lot of discussion when these articles were first made a few years ago regarding this. It was, however, ultimately decided that presenting articles in this format would be best. For example:


 * In the episode Prometheus, the X-303 was introduced. This ship heavily relied on Goa'uld technology. It had goa'uld-based shields, a naquadria hyperdrive, no asgard transporters, etc. In the episode Disclosure, the Asgard gifted to the Tau'ri several upgrades to the Prometheus, including new shields, hyperdrives, etc. As a result, the entire dynamic of the ship changed. In fact, so much so that the current 303-design became obsolete. This resulted in the creation of the 304-series of ships.


 * The X-303 article details the original design of the ship (relying mainly on human and goa'uld technology), whereas the BC-303 article details how the ship would have gone on to be produced in the entire project hadn't been scraped in favor of the 304.


 * The same is true for the X-302. And, to be consistent, we created 2 separate articles for the X-302 and F-302 as well. However, because the X-302 was only featured in one 2-part episode (whereas the X-303 in it's original form where shown is several), the X-302 page is a bit sparse in comparison.


 * Furthermore, various officially-sourced measurements and specifications are different for the X-302 and F-302. For example, the length of the X-302 is said to be 30 meters in Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection 37, whereas the F-302 is listed to be 14.26 meters. There are differences between the craft, and having 2 pages would better help show that. It would also keep the article's format consistent with the other articles we have here. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 17:52, March 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * A lot of the additions you made while combining the articles actually do look very nice. While I still contend that we should have 2 distinct articles for the F-302 and X-302, i have been introducing some of your improvements into the respective pages. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 18:16, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

If they must remain two seperate pages, so be it. I would like to add that I have done quite a lot of research on the dimensions for this vessel as well as the reltaed 303 and 304 and the officially cited dimensions on the site, though they match the sources, are incorrect. I can provide you with my math if you want, I would like to be allowed to make make permanent edits to these dimensions and their sources.


 * The dimensions we have on a lot of our articles are another huge source of debate. Officially, we only include measurements given from officially-licensed sources. The main upside of doing this is that all the measurements we have come from the same source, which speaks to uniformity. However, some of these measurements are downright ridiculous and quite a few openly contradict each other (Just see Talk:Supergate for example).


 * As such, I'd be willing to allow you to place the measurements you have calculated on our articles. However, I don't want to just disregard the 'official measurements' altogether because I do think they can still be useful in some respects. So, If you wanted to place your measurements under a ==Notes== or ==Reference== section near the bottom of the page, that would be fine.


 * So for example, on the F-302 article, the infobox would still have the 'official' measurements and their reference tags, but next to those measurements, we could put another reference tag, and that reference tag would link you to the notes section where you have your measurements. Also, a brief description as to why the official measurements are wrong would likely be beneficial as well to readers don't think we're just pulling numbers out of a hat.


 * So basically it would be something like this:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ARTICLE

References and Notes
__________________________________________________________________________________________________


 * The reason for this is that a number of users over the years have presented their own set of measurements for certain articles. As there's really no way to prove who's set is the best or the most accurate, this acknowledges the ambiguity.


 * If you think this idea needs improvement, let me know what you think. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 23:04, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

Forums and blogs
I'm curious if there's a point of policy behind the lack of these options. With the series being long over, I would have thought the wiki might benefit from the option of greater discussion, since now it's unlikely to be flooded by endless casual viewer input. 07:48, April 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * You actually bring up a really good point. I think the only reason we haven't activated the blog or forum features yet is because I tend to be a bit 'old school' when it comes to new wikia features. (Though in this case, old school was only like 5 years ago, heh).


 * Anyway, I activated the blog and forum features. &mdash;Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 08:29, April 17, 2014 (UTC)

Admin assistance required to rename article
This message was mass-posted to all admins, it is not directed at you in particular. Could one of you move the Gateship article to "Puddle Jumper" (per Talk:Gateship). I tried doing it myself but I got an error message, it seams the admin toles are necessary to move this.

Lastly, I apologizes for mass-posting like this, but I didn't know what else to do. The error message directed me to SGCommand:Administration. The Administration page directed me to either make a post on the Community Portal, or to contact an admin directly, but portal doesn't seem to be working (it's little more then an otherwise blank page that says "Under construction"), and I didn't know which specific admin I was supposed to contact.

Incase anyone moans
i've spent the last few days updating and making changes to the stargate novel pages, which are getting there now. Incase anyone moans about the publishing dates however, I've had to refer to the release dates by amazon, through the Fandemonium webpage. There are probably a few errors here and there, but I've contact someone i know at Fandemonium for an official list of release dates. Previously, the dates where all over the place. Once they email me back, I'll make any chnages. Atleast the pages look more finished and consistent, compared to 48 hours ago. Any issues, please get in contact. Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 23:04, May 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Excellent! Everything looks great so far. I've been concerned about those novel articles for a while now, so... Much obliged for the improvements. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 03:33, May 31, 2014 (UTC)

ElsaRules!!! Message
Um, this is ElsaRules!!! I was just wondering about editing. Am I allowed to fix grammatical errors when I see them? Also, do I need to be very knowledgeable about Stargate? I watch it with my dad a lot, but I haven't seen most of Atlantis and Universe, but most of SG-1. -ElsaRules!!! (talk) (Contribs) 02:02, May 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello! If you see a mistake, PLEASE feel free to correct it. You don't need to necessarily be very knowledgeable about Stargate to start contributing here - Usually, you'll pick up quite a bit of information about the show just from spending some time on here. For now, just contribute where you can. If you have any more questions about Stargate, or how this wikia works, feel free to ask me, or leave a message in our Forum. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 03:33, May 31, 2014 (UTC)

If possible and you have the time, could you update the front page with the recently released Stargate novels, including Stargate SG-1: Hostile Ground that was released today.

 * I had a feeling new novels had been released, but in by 3am editing last night I couldn't quite figure out which ones. Thanks for updating those dates. &mdash;Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 18:09, August 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem, & thank you for changing the main page so quickly. I've contacted Fandemonium through their Facebook page to make them aware of what we've done and said to contact us in the future about any further releases. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 19:55, August 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * UPDATE: Sally Malcolm, who co-wrote the latest SG1 novel and joint-owner of Fandemonium, contacted me to say thank you for promoting the book. Sally Malcolm also said she'll contact us before any further releases. I said we are happy to help, as their novels keep the Stargate Universe going. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 20:48, August 14, 2014 (UTC)

Editing
Hi, Anubis 10545, Typhuss999 and I have been arguing over the editing of various pages on this wiki for some time and it's gotten so bad that we need an admin to resolve things once and for all. I believe that various pages should have captions, for example, "Rodney McKay wielding a P-90, From the Stargate Atlantis Season 3 episode, "Vengeance". Typhuss disagrees, believing that it should be "Rodney McKay wielding a P-90" minus the full stop, purely because they believe that adding the full caption would make the page too long and Typhuss believes that it is unnecessary. Please help. Many thanks in advance. SocialOutsider.
 * Hey there! I'm assuming you're talking about image captions? Image captions don't really have a limit as to how long they can be. However, there's another issue here that needs addressing; We write this wiki from an 'In universe perspective" (meaning that we wright it as though we're actually in the Stargate universe). As such, including direct references to episodes in normal article text (such as in saying: Rodney McKay wielding a P-90, From the Stargate Atlantis Season 3 episode, "Vengeance") would be inappropriate.


 * If someone wants to know what episode a particular image is from, they can click on the image and see based on what category it's in (Almost all of our images here are categorized by episode).


 * I hope that answers your question! Sorry I haven't been around as much lately. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:54, March 26, 2015 (UTC)

So, no image captions allowed? Shame. :( Personally and in my defense I just thought it helped and that it gave an explanation for whatever episode a caption came from but since it's your call, Anubis 10545, I will respect it. SocialOutsider.


 * Well, I mean, image captions are totally fine, but just avoid referring directly to the episode in them. However, I suppose that if you really wanted to mention the episode that goes with the image, you are welcome to do it in this format. Feel free to use either the top or bottom method:




 * Technically, it's not a huge difference from the way you suggested, but it's more in-line with how we cite information elsewhere on the wiki.

Thank you for the welcome, Anubis.

So glad I signed up after wanting to for so long... cannot believe how much I still love Stargate after nearly 8 years off the air. I look forward to greater activity in the near future.

Images not from the series
User:Colonelsam is purging a vast number of picture files simply because they are only illustrative and did not appear in the series per se. If this kind of new policy is going to be implemented, shouldn't it at least be discussed by active users first? 19:46, May 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey there! What User:Colonelsam is doing is actually in accordance with the long-standing policies of this wiki. The policy is basically as follows:


 * For normal articles, we only include images that come from the stargate series. For example, in the article Orange juice, we should only be including images of orange juice that are shown on an episode of Stargate. We use this policy to separate the facts of the 'real world' from the facts of the world portrayed in the stargate series. However, if the article is about an actor, production company, or any other real-world entity that's involved with the production of the show, outside images are fine. This is the case, because naturally Katie Stuart or Ordino Studios (for example) doesn't exist in the stargate universe.


 * Also note that if we started including outside images, it would clutter the wiki up and it would become difficult to differentiate between genuine images from stargate and outside images from the real world (keeping in mind the stargate world and real world are 2 separate entities). This is a wiki for Stargate and the 'stargate universe'. People don't really come here to see what meatloaf or the state flag of Nebraska looks like. If they want to know those things, they are welcome to click on the links we provide on each article to the appropriate wikipedia page, which tends to go into far more detail about the real-world than we're qualified to include.


 * A few months ago User:Atlantistvru uploaded a slew of outside images not from the stargate franchise and placed them on various articles. As this contradicted this policy, I (and a few other users) have been slowing purging these images from the site. I realize now, though, that this policy isn't explicitly stated on our SGCommand:Manual of Style or SGCommand:Policy pages, so I'll try to rectify that in short order. However, this touches on this policy in a broader sense.


 * I hope this cleared it up! If you still have questions feel free to ask. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:17, May 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks for the clarification. A)

Re: John Sheppard's birthday.
Someone has edited Sheppard's page to include a date of birth for him but without quoting a source for it. There isn't one in canon. I edited it out but an anonymous user has edited it back in. Please advice as for  the policy for citing sources. Thank you.

Mischief5 (talk) (Contribs) 04:08, July 24, 2015 (UTC)Mischief5User:Mischief5 (talk) (Contribs) 04:08, July 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey there. Thanks for pointing that out. It looks like the edit that added in his birthday was made by one of our administrators, User:Jaymach, in 2009.


 * The most likely source for that date would be Stargate Atlantis: The DVD Collection 64, but as I don't have access to that particular issue, I'm not able to verify it. I'll leave a message on Jaymach's talk page and see if he can verify the source (as jaymach apparently has access to a ton of the DVD magazines, though keep in mind, he hasn't edited here for a few months).


 * For now, I'll place a "cite needed" template on the date until I can verify it. We've run into this issue a number of times before though where, in the past, jaymach or another user included information from an obscure source like this and simply neglected to include it. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 04:28, July 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Here's the problem: given Sheppard's status in 1x01 "Rising" as a Command Pilot (15 years plus 3000 flight hours) plus a year of flight school, puts him as commissioned no later than 1988. Add four years for his bachelor's degree (required since the mid-1970 for all officers), and Sheppard had to have graduated from high school no later than 1984, making his DOB 1966. You might be able to fudge enough to make it 1967 if Sheppard skipped a grade but that's about it. Without an onscreen mention of Sheppard's birth date, as we had with Rodney McKay, no actual date can be cited with any certainty, ergo: date unknown. JMO.
 * Mischief5 (talk) (Contribs) 04:51, July 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. However, this actually touches on our policy here of what we include as canon. It's mentioned on here, but it's essentially this:


 * The information presented on the show takes priority over all other sources. However, we also include information (usually in the form of novels, audiobooks, the DVD magazines, etc) that are officially-licensed and considered canon by MGM. While (for example) Daniel Jackson's birthday isn't explicitly stated on the show, it is given in (and cited on Staragte wiki as being from) Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection 2.


 * Naturally, however, inconsistencies do arise. When this is the case, we make a note of it at the bottom of the page and provide a link next to the text in question. For example, when/if Jaymach verifies Sheppard's birthday to be June 14, 1970 (assuming it is from such a source), we can include a note at the bottom of the page stating exactly what you just said in your previous comment.


 * Because the official status of these ancillary sources is canon, we have to include the information they provide (keeping in mind they are approved my MGM and the show's staff). However, because sometimes the facts they present don't always align with the show (or make complete sense) we make a note stating such. It's sort of like how we include a Goofs section on episode articles. Obviously each episode is canon, but occasionally they get facts wrong or present inconsistencies.


 * ...Actually though, this policy isn't fully stated in 1 specific place. It's kind of in pieces between separate talk pages. I'll have to fully detail it on our Policy article at some point. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 05:31, July 24, 2015 (UTC)

Category request
I would like to request the creation of two categories, but do not know where to make the request. The categories are: Alien technology found on Earth, and Aliens found on Earth (not that exact wording, but the general idea). There are quite a few aliens that have been found on Earth by the SGC (Hathor, Osiris, that ancient woman, Martin's people, etc.), and lots of alien technology (Hathor's ship, hathor's sarcophogus, the stasis jars, the chair, the drones, the depleted ZPM, the time machine, merlin's chamber, etc.). Perhaps the concept needs refinement, but I think this would make a good addition to the wiki. BrentNewland (talk) (Contribs) 06:52, July 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * That's actually a pretty decent idea. The wording for both would be fine as-is, though I'm thinking we could also potentially have categories like "Goa'uld technology found on Earth", "Ancient technology found on Earth", and place those categories in the category "Alien technology found on Earth". Just an idea.


 * At any rate, I can get the ball rolling for you, but you're free to make a category yourself (you don't necessarily need to request it, but I definitely appreciate you running it by me given our category structure can get a bit complex sometimes).


 * I've created a a few categories as a sort of 'proof of concept', but feel free to expand it from here. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 07:37, July 28, 2015 (UTC)

Reflection about Svoriin
I have a question about the city of Sonden on Svoriin. Do you know what information is mentioned about Sonden in the Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection 10?--Colonelsam (talk) (Contribs) 23:00, August 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * Information pertaining to Svoriin mentioned in the DVD magazine can be found on the article "Svoriin" (just look at the reference section on that article). Most of the information we have about Svoriin (and thus Sonden too) is mainly mentioned in Stargate SG-1: Friends and Foes: Stargate Season Two.


 * User:Jaymach did a pretty comprehensive job outlining the information from those sources into the Svoriin article. But as I don't have access to those sources at the moment, I can't give you specifics. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 23:44, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Stargate Novels
Hello. Sorry I haven't been around for a bit. Between work (which overtook my life) and ThunderCats-Ho Wiki (which i administrate), I haven't had much time to make updates to the novels section. Anyway, I'm back now and have made a few formating improvement to the Fandemonium and Big Finish Productions pages. For example, I have cleaned-up the pages and made them more user-freindly to other users. Also, if you click on the images, it should take you to the corresponding page. No information has been lost, as it is already contained within the relevent page. Let me know what you think.

 * Hey! Welcome back. Yeah that looks great. Those tables (especially on the fandemonium page) were just horrifically long and those summaries were all pretty superficial anyway. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:58, September 4, 2015 (UTC)
 * By the way, I like what you've done with the DVD magazine articles and the various publisher articles. Most of those pages haven't even been touched in forever so it's definitely a welcomed improvement. So yeah, thanks! Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 05:07, September 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I think it removes the length, due to summaries and other information, that people can read in the relevent pages themselves. It's is just more freindly and simplier to navigate via that page, which removing the unnecessary information. I have more design ideas, but I'll get to those once I have updated the Stargate Magazine DVD pages. I didn't want to do anything too much on actual pages, incase people didn't like and reversed my changes. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 09:23, September 4, 2015 (UTC)

Long Day
It has been a long day, but I've more or less polished off the Fandemonium novel section, including tiddying up each individual page. I didn't expect it to take this long, but it looks a lot better and more complete. I'm going to contact Sally Malcolm and ask if they have any unrealised/varient covers and information we could use for our wiki. Anyway, I'm going to bed, as the sun will be coming up in a few hours. If anybody isn't happy with anything I've changed, please let me know. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 02:48, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Jesus Christ dude. Yeah, looking at the recent changes list, I'd say it's been a long day too. Sleep well. But thanks though. Everything looks great. (The "Related Books" section in particular was a nice touch) Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 03:04, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Once I had uplaoded the image and links on the Fandemonium page for each, it was easy to copy to other pages, which gives them a more visual appeal. My main aim at the moment, is to improve the look and user ability of these pages. I just need to fiddle and work it out bit-by-bit. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 15:04, September 6, 2015 (UTC)

Big Finish Pages
Hi. I'm still working on the Big Finish Production pages, so please don't think I'm going to leave them like that. They need more work than i though, and I have ran out of time tonight. I've also got more info and images to add, once I've polished it more. Do we have a tool for uploading and displaying audio trailers on this wiki? Night --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 04:32, September 8, 2015 (UTC)Bold text


 * We do have a way of uploading audio, but we don't have a 'tool' exactly. It's not something we've dealt with a lot, so I'm not incredibly well-versed on it. It would be an interesting idea for the audiobooks though if that's what you're thinking.


 * User:Jenkins08 toyed around with audio a few years back. You could use his work as an example:


 * 
 * 


 * It seems you upload audio the same way as an image, just in a ".ogg" format: [[File:FileName.ogg]] (again, not my specialty).


 * Hope this helped, and Thanks for the update -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 04:59, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

Sound tool
Hi. Yes I was trying to add the trailers for each of the stargate audiobooks, but the tool just looks ugly and doesn't fit. I'm going to look into making our own, when I have more time.

I'm steadily working myself through the literature section, but it's eating up a lot of time. But it will look good once I have finished, so I'll keep working away at it. I've made a good start on the short story section tonight. Once the presentation of the pages is sorted, I'll swing back around and add more content, were needed.

Oh ye, Sallyn Malcolm has kindly agreed to help us, by giving us addition content for past and upcoming books, which is nice of her. She liked how we have designed and layed-out the Fandemonium pages, which was also nice of her to say. Anyway, I might take a break tomorrow. Big Finish have also given me some additional information.

Anyway, thanks for trying to give me some solutions for the audio tool. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 01:26, September 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * That's fantastic about Sally Malcolm. I'm glad you're so on top of this. (I know I've said this a billion times, but thanks).


 * Another thing though; Regarding Stargate SG-1: Exile, I haven't read the book, but the extract mentions the Wraith and Lanteans (Introduced in season 8), and the publisher's summary mentions Dr. Fraiser (killed in season 7). Furthermore, we have the book chronologically placed in season 3. Officially, the fandemonium website seems to corroborate this, but logically, it doesn't make sense. I'm trying to figure out if this is actually all part of the story, or if fandemonium had a mixup on their website.-Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 02:30, September 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * I have beifly looked though the books, as this is not a novel I've read yet (i'm going to soon). From what i have read, Janet Fraiser's parts in the story occured during 2000s (season 3ish), where as other parts of the story occur in the future. So it seem that Fandemonium have got the relationship between the novel and the TV series correct (i think), but the links between the summary and extract could cause confusion. I'll  make some sort of note on our page awsel. I might also email fandemonium.


 * & you don't have to thank me. We are all working towards building and improving this wiki. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 15:09, September 11, 2015 (UTC)

Questions of Sateda
Hello Anubis 10545 I have just one question about Sateda. Is P3R-534 really Satedas designation and is the 9600 lightyears from Lantea?.--Colonelsam (talk) (Contribs) 20:11, September 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * It looks like the edit that added in that information was made recently by an anonymous user who didn't provide a source. As I can't verify that to be correct, I removed that information from the page. That's for asking about that. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:52, September 11, 2015 (UTC)

Selmak
I just wonder which episode it is mentioned that Selmak has been the leader of the Tok'ra High Council for nearly 200 years?--Colonelsam 19:54, October 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * In The Tok'ra, Part 2, Selmak's previous host mentions that she's been blended with selmak for the last 200 years. That's probably the source of that number. However, further information about selmak's role on the high council originates from Stargate SG-1: Fantastic Frontiers: Stargate Season One.


 * The wording on the selmak page says that he's a "respected leader on the Tok'ra High Council", not "of the Tok'ra High Council". Given Per'sus is the leader of the Tok'ra High Council in Divide and Conquer, I think that that line's simply trying to say that Selmak is one of the leaders in Tok'ra society, and that he's on the high council, but that he's not the Leader of the council. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 21:55, October 23, 2015 (UTC)

About Ma'chello
What year is Ma'chello born? When it says in "Friends and Foes: Stargate Season Two" that Ares first conquered Dendred more than a century ago. Is there a century before 1999 when Ma'chello died.--Colonelsam 18:04, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, there's no source that gives an exact date for his birth. However, in Holiday, Tea'lc claims that "Since before I was born, [Ma'chello] has been a fugitive from the System Lords". Tea'c was born in 1899. Also, Stargate SG-1: Friends and Foes: Stargate Season Two claims that Ma'chello's been fighting the Goa'uld since he was 20. So, Ma'chello was likely born sometime before 1879. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 21:52, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Is Ma'chello around one hundred years? You mentioned that he was 20 years old when he fought against the Goa'uld System Lords. In "Friends and Foes Stargate Season Two" claims that he fought another thirty against the Goa'uld. Ma'chello told Daniel Jackson that he had fought against the Goa'uld for fifty years as confirmed in the Friend and Foe Stargate Season Two. Is it possible that Ma'chello was not a hundred years old and born sometime in the mid-1900s?--Colonelsam 19:02, October 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Given Tea'c's statement, and how physically old Ma'chello looked in Holiday even after years of using stasis technology, I would say he is probably over 100 years old. Keep in mind, after he got to a certain age, he stopped fighting the goa'uld directly, but continued to create technology. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:48, October 25, 2015 (UTC)

About Thor
I have some questions about Thor hope you can answer the questions.


 * How old is he? In "Friends and Foes: Stargate Season Two" is mentioned that the original Thor visited the Earth about 500 AD and that he died in 2007. If he lived already 500 AD and died in 2007, he would have been 1507 years. But in "Stargate SG-1: The Roleplaying Game" is mentioned that the average lifespan of an Asgard is four hundred years. If he changed his new clone body every time he may well not have lived so long, or could he?
 * And when he became the youngest Supreme Commander of Asgard fleet in 200 years, is it about two centuries before 1998?--Colonelsam 15:42, October 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * No source I can find say Thor's exact age, but he would have to be over 1507 years old given what we know about Thor and his presence in Earth mythology.


 * Regarding the average life span for the Asgard, the Role Playing Game is probably saying that 400 years is how long a cloned asgard body can live before the consciousness inside it needs get a new body. However, as we saw in Stargate Sg-1, it seemed like (as a result of their progressive cloning problems), they had to get new bodies much more frequently. It's possible that by the time the asgard committed mass suicide, the average lifespan for a body had gradually decreased over the years.


 * Thor became Supreme commander when he was 200 years old. As we don't know what year he was born, we can't say what year that was. However, it likely occurred sometime near 500AD. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 02:29, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

About Asgard
I have a question about Asgard. After they had survived "Barion's Syndrome" and when they used cloning for over 1000 years when the two problems developed into a deterioration of their DNA when they lacked the new genetic material. Is that a thousand years before 1998 when they met Tau'ri on Cimmeria?

And when they lacked the original genetic material leading to discontinuation of the cloning of the first generations of DNA and the inevitable difficulty of cell mutation with each successive generation. After they had used cloning for over 1000 years. Is it 300 years before in 1998 when they met SG-1 on Cimmeria?--Colonelsam 18:51, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

Rating tool
Do we have a rating tool we could use for novels and audiobooks, so we could show review rating from Amazon on other relevent sites? Wikipedia use this type of tool for music albums and I thought it might look good and be useful for potential readers here --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 23:28, November 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, we don't have any such tool here. It is an interesting idea though if it's something you want to pursue. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 02:53, November 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Do  you know anyone that can help. i try to use what wiki knowledge i have well, but it's very limited.

Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 18:59, November 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Super secret tip of advice: Harry Potter wiki and Wookiepedia have, generally, the same basic coding structure as Stargate wiki. So, for the most part, when you're looking to implement a new template or idea, see if they already have something similar over there as, chances are, it'll be able to transfer over without any huge issues.


 * That being said, I found a similar template to what you're suggesting over on wookiepedia. I added the text to the template you started. When I have some free time in the coming days, I can further tailor it to Stargate wiki's needs, but feel free to toy around with it in the meantime. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:06, November 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm still getting my head around the source coding for that template, but it looks very promising so far. Once I get my head around what I'm doing, I'll start adding the template to a few pages to begin with. Thank you --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 22:18, November 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * I have made some progress with the infobox template, which just requires some colouring changes. The biggest problem I'm having however is that the board is missing on the right-hand side of infobox. I might be missing something, byt you know what is happening?

New comic series
Have you seen the proposed comic series, which is related to the Stargate Atlantis series and follows on as season 6? It's a kickstarter program, but they have recieved full funding from fan. This is going to cause conflict with the novel based series, lol. Below is a link to the website.

 * Oh nice. I hadn't heard about that. They say it's all fully-licensed, but yeah, given the Legacy series, who knows, heh.


 * By the way, I'm sorry that I've been kind of absent here these past few weeks. I've been super busy with school, but I just finished for the semester so now I actually have free time. Are you still having problems with the rating template? I completely missed your previous message about it.- Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 19:40, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * I've nearly got the rating template working. I just need to get the out-of-stars (ex, 4 out of 5) working, but I'm not sure how to do this yet. Do you have any ideas? & don't worry about not replying, as I've been working on comic section. I'm trying to get the same feel as the novel and audiobookk section.

Canon Boxes
While working on media publication pages I thought the 'Canon Warning' banners looked ugly and basically told readers to run for the hills, so I've been thinking about something that would be more visaully appealing. I thought that we could use a simple colour-coded banner (see picture below), which would communicates it's canon staues in a more friendly way. I would also create a link on the canon banner, which would further explanin it's canon statues o another page. In my opinion, this would be far more professional and inviting, but what do you think? This is only a test, so it's not the finished product and the colours can be adjusted.



--Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 17:23, December 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * An interesting idea. I actually just happened to notice that wookiepedia is doing something similar on their site (though to a much more robust extent, given what's going on in star wars these days).


 * Changing those canon banners is an idea i'd consider. I think they were sort of designed to be 'chunky' and obnoxious to get their point across more vividly, but toning them down a bit might be a nice change. I've been sort of hesitant lately, though, to change anything major to do with canon given the plans to reboot the franchise in the next few years with the new film trilogy. Looking forward, (if those plans do come to fruition), we'll likely have to alter our canon structure/templates in some way as to incorporate information from the reboot (though there's really no way to know how we'll have to alter it at this point or if the reboot will even happen, I'd just hate to change those templates all now just to have to change them again later).


 * On wookiepedia, it looks like they may have done some weird/cool coding voodoo to make their 'canon' banners automatically appear without having to manually add them on every page and I'm not really sure how/if they did that. (Realistically, we can't add a 'canon' banner to 10,000 pages manually... I'd have to figure out how they did that first if we were to do that. We might only want to denote when an article is ambiguously or non-canon at this point). Also, we presently have separate templates denoting if a page is a non-canon or ambiguously-canon article or source. We could keep those same base templates and just change the format of them, or combine them into an umbrella 'Non-canon' template. I don't know...


 * In short:

-Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 07:59, December 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * Nice idea
 * I'm probably thinking too broadly about this.
 * I feel like our present canon templates aren't terrible and that we could just wait and see what happens with the reboot, though changing it now would also be fine given our organization of noncanon material as it stands isn't ideal.

Canon Banner
I didn't mean to offend anyone or anypeople that created these banners. I'm just a fan of something that is suttle, yet clearly conveys it's message to any reader.

I've just taken a trip to Wookiepedia and seen what they've done. The main difference between our two wiki's is that there we have much more on screen material, like the Star Trek series. I think we wouldn't need to change every page, just those that are not directly related to on screen material. For example, books, audiobooks, comics, games and things related to the animated series. These are secondary source material that can generally cause confusion. While the film reboot is likely to change things, that is alast 4-years down the line, at this point. Any changes we'd possible make now, should be easily ammended in the future.

I wouldn't know how to go about suggeting changes beyond yourself, as I'm just contributor, but I'm happy to create and make sure these are implemented correctly.

Whatever you guys decided, just let me know,.

Thanks for your reply, --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 15:50, December 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey. Sorry for the slow response. I've been thinking about this for the past few days actually and I've realized you make a compelling point. (I tend to be a little over-cautious with it comes to changing things around here). If you want to toy around with designing better canon templates, you have my blessing.


 * Something to think about: Some of our canon templates (like the Noncanon topic template) automatically place the articles they're on into a specific category. I noticed that a few weeks back, you removed that template from the Stargate: Doomsday World articles, which removed it from the Category:Non-canon sources. Not a huge issue, but going forward, if we move and change these templates around, I'd like to try and maintain the existing category structure. (At the very least, we could just go back and add those categories separately from the templates depending on how it all works out).


 * By the way, I'm always thrilled when people come to me with new ideas for the wiki, so thanks for your insight on these things. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 09:37, January 5, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Banon Banner
Thank you for trusting my ideas for the canon banners. I have limited wiki knowledge, but try to apply it to the best. I'll begin work on them in the next few days. if there is anything you are not happy with, or wanting adjusting, please let me know.

Also, my appologise for deleting the banners. I was trying out different waya of displaying canon information and forgot to undo. Although, I didn't know it automatically removed them Category:Non-canon.

--Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 19:32, January 5, 2016 (UTC)

Canon Banner Update
I've begun to add the canon banners to comics, books, animation etc etc. I've not ammended your canon templates for two reasons:


 * I wanted to upload what it looked like first to as many pages as possible, so things could easily be changed if people started to complain or wanted it changing.
 * Also couldn't edit your template and make it work.

I'm sorry if it look a little bit messy at times, but I'll have things settled within 24 hours. I'll also added thing to the non-canon, canon categories once things begin to settle down. It's just how I mass change things, but I'll catch things up that I've left behind at the moment.

--Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 23:56, January 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * Great! At the moment, I'm actually experimenting with a slightly alternate way of implementing your new templates. I'm basing the idea off of how the Featured article template works, but I'm not 100% sure yet if it's going to work out better than your way.


 * My thoughts here are that, if we use a template format instead of the text format: Non-canon.png, then we'll be able to make changes to the template across all pages in the future by simply editing the main template (as opposed to going to each individual page).


 * As I said, I'm still trying it out at the moment. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 00:02, January 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay, I won't interfer with anything you are doing tonight. You should be able to edit the image and have it automatically update across every linked page. The only problem we would have is if we deleted or changed the name of the Stargate canon page, which is linked to the image. If i'm doing anything wrong, please let me know. Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 00:14, January 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * What are your thoughts on This. I tested it on Stargate Atlantis: Zero Point. (Difference between the two versions: 1, 2).


 * My original plan was convoluted, so I basically just took what you did and put it in a template. Really the only differences is that the pages are automatically categorized, and we wont need to add in the extra spaces to avoid messing up the text. (And we could also justify it to the left like how you originally had it.) I feel like a template might be the better way to go, but we don't necessarily have to use it (especially considering you already edited it onto a fair number or pages, though this would save us the time of having to go back to each page to categorize it). Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:32, January 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * It looks fine to me. It's simple, but does the job perfectly. Good job. I think the canon banner on the right works better as it's less in your face, while communicating it's message clearly to the casual viewer of the article. Are you happy with the desigh and colour of the 3 different canon banners?


 * I'm gonna get some sleep, as it's 2am here. I'll start implementing it onto the other relevent pages tomorrow. Also I'm beginnging add more missing information and images to the less visited media pages, like Entity Comics and ROC. I think the published media section of the wiki is beginning to look more polished and complete. Still things to do though. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 01:45, January 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, their design and color works really well. I actually just went ahead and directly swapped our current templates with your new ones, so they should all automatically be appearing on their appropriate pages now (though sometimes it takes a short while for the change to actually show up.) Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 10:24, January 7, 2016 (UTC)

Video Trailers
I've figured out away of adding trailer to the Stargate Audiobook by Big Finish to the relevent pages. I've added the trailers as videos at the bottom of the infobox, which is simple solution really. What do you think (Stargate SG-1: Gift of the Gods)? However, is there away of stopping the video opening up in a new window when you click on it to play?

--Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 21:53, January 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * That looks nice. The old video system wikia had used to allow you to play the video without opening a new window, but as far as I can tell, that's not possible anymore. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 23:28, January 7, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Rating Template
Perfect! I've been try to find a solution to the star ratings for a few weeks. It just adds a little something more go the article. Thanks for finding a solution. Also, I thought videos use to play with articles. It's a little annoying, but i can live with it. The written and audio media on this wiki is beginning to look more polished and not something that looks tagged on. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 12:03, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

Please. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 16:09, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

Star Rating
Rather than using exact decimal place on the star rating, are you okay if we average them? For example, instead of 3.1 we would round it up to 3.0, or instead of 3.9 we would round it upto 4.0. This is because the decimal place can change frequently, deepending upon the next review. Averaging them, therefore, would be more accurate medium too long-term, as they generally only change by a few decimal places at the most. Also, readers of the article wouldn't know the exact decimal place, unless they hovered over the stars rating, which the majority of readers won't.

I would perform checks every couple of months to ensure they are upto to date, but only newer books would most likely change with any true difference.

Whhat do you think? --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 01:26, January 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that would be fine. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 09:28, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

Some Stargate questions
I have some questions about Stargate franchine.

I'm wondering which year unfolds SGR and the year unfolds SG-17: Tightrope? --Colonelsam 14:38, March 9, 2016 (UTC)

Can you make the pages:
 * Battle of Levanna
 * Raid on Death's Hive
 * Raid on the Revenant
 * Second Battle over the Outer Rim Planet


 * Hey! Unfortunately, I haven't read Tightrope, so I can't say when it takes place. If by SGR, you mean Stargate Resistance, that takes place in the 2010s. The System Lords Third Battle Group was formed 2 years after the fall of the ori, so that would have been about 2010. The events of SGR would have occurred around that time.

Hello
Yes, there is a new book on the way! Thank you for updating the front page. I'm hoping to have an extract in the next few days :) Sadly, MGM can be very slow at passing books. Kali's Wrath has been in MGM hands for nearly a year, but hopefully they'll be a few releases this summer.

ALSO, we have been given exclusive extracts from 'Lost Queen' and 'Points of Origin', which Sally Malcolm has kindly provided via email :) I should hopefully have this information within the next few days.

Exclusive Extract
Sally Malcolm has kindly provided our wiki with an exclusive extra from chapter one for their latest novel :) It's larger than the ones they normally share on amazon. I've added the extract to the page already :) Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 13:23, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh man, this is good stuff. And it's so long! Thanks a ton for adding that, and thanks a ton for getting into contact with Sally Malcolm like this. It really helps out the wiki. (And of course, thanks to Sally Malcom) Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 00:01, May 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm also pleased. Hopefully they'll share more extracts in the future, as they've shared a few exclusive extracts now. In fact, can we display the phase 'exclusive extract' on the banner tool, which on the home page? Sorry, I don't know the name of the tool. I've have more things to edit/add to the novel pages, so I'lll be around.

Hi, Anubis 10545!

Would you be interested in having Stargate included in our television footers program?

Porro's Death
Hi I have some questions. If you don't know at least write your opinion.

1. Is in this shot Porro still alive?

2. If yes, what was his death cause?



--Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 11:55, June 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * I just watched the scene, and it appears that, in that scene, he's simply hit on the head just like everyone else was. I wouldn't think that that would have been enough to kill him (as everyone else seemed to survive it). However, later in the movie when Daniel is suppose to execute the rest of his team, Porro isn't there. Given that, it's quite possible that his he was actually killed in that scene, but I can't say for sure.- Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:20, June 28, 2016 (UTC)

Loder
Thanks for previous answer. Do you know what exactly was Loder's death cause? I still can't figure out. When he stand up, Unas start run towards on him. He start shot him, several times and Unas crashed him to side and knocked Daniel and dragged away. I also think that when they examined his body, he lying too close forest than where he stand during shootings. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 13:03, July 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * Apparently being knocked down was enough to kill him. Teal'c says "he was killed by a being of great strength", probably meaning he was just pushed to the ground really hard and that's what did it. (Probably his head hitting the ground specifically is what killed him, but that's just a guess). -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 19:15, July 3, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 19:30, July 3, 2016 (UTC)

Body in Ra's mothership water pit
According page it is Porro. But on body are sleeves. Porro had no sleeves. Could that be Reilly? Can you do one thing for me? Can you upload HD Photo of that body? It will be still better than my one from DVD. Please --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 19:33, July 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * WaterPitSGFilm11.jpg This screen cap is the best one I could get that shows the most of his body. It's not clear at all who it is though (HD or not); It's simply not shown well enough. It might be Porro but it's hard to tell exactly. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:14, July 3, 2016 (UTC)

Can you Please expand Soldier (The Siege, Part 3)? Me and Atlantistvru did what we could, but it need someone who will check and expand.

Marine 1 (The Siege, Part 2)
Thanks, Can you Please expand also this one? He was also there with Soldier and Ford. http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Marine_1_(The_Siege,_Part_2)

Thanks. This one is Radner or not?

He look like him, but I am not sure. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 08:50, July 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * It does look like him a bit, but honestly, I can't tell for sure. All the marines in The Siege look pretty similar. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 09:12, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

Which one is this? If it is Marine 1 can you add it? I'm not too good in english.

--Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 09:18, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

Atlantis Actor Identification
Hi do you know who is actor on picture? The Character is Marine/Soldier but he wasn't credited in Atlantis at all (I think). Maybe he is familiar to you from SG-1? I was told that he maybe was there, but I don't remember where. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 19:10, August 3, 2016 (UTC)

Do you know him? --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 23:01, August 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I don't recall seeing him before. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 23:06, August 4, 2016 (UTC)

Little Expansion of Marine 1 (The Siege, Part 2)
Ok thanks. :-)

Can you Please look on The Siege, Part 3 and looks what exactly this Marine did? Including this? I will much appreciated. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 23:25, August 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey. The article already seems to have all the information I can come up with from the episode. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 06:49, August 5, 2016 (UTC)

Only things he have common with Soldier: ''This individual arrived with the force led by Colonel Dillon Everett to support the Atlantis expedition during the Battle of Atlantis.

He, as part of Lt. Ford's group, was attacked by a group of Wraith during the battle who beamed in on their position, surrounding them.''

Soldier have detailed that he was shot in the back, removing pin from grenade etc.

This one have not all what he did on balcony. He was also shot but I don't know where exactly, also picture I show you say more, but I'm not to good to do that for many reasons, I'm not english etc. Will you Please watch what he exactly did? I will much appreciated.

?? Please --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 20:52, August 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, I expanded it. Let me know if it's ok. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 21:13, August 5, 2016 (UTC)

Good Work. This is also him? Look on DVD Quality and if it is him (I presume yes) Will you add this action with DVD picture, Please? --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 21:29, August 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Based on the scene, the Marine is stunned and falls to the ground. Moments after this, the man in that image is standing and is then thrown through the air. I think the man flying through the air is therefor another person. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:10, August 5, 2016 (UTC)

Ok, Will you Please Create him? :-) I will be glad--Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 22:17, August 5, 2016 (UTC)

Radner or Unnamed Marine
In my opinion it is Radner. Surely Marines are all similar due uniform etc. but his hair cut and face looks same for me.

http://www.cap-that.com/atlantis/120/images/atlantis120_0147.jpg

http://www.cap-that.com/atlantis/120/images/atlantis120_1457.jpg

http://www.cap-that.com/atlantis/120/images/atlantis120_1454.jpg

I got an idea how find out. These uniforms and even all types of military camouflages or digital are not irregular. If we compare costume with Radner had, we can find out. But best will be if you do it. I don't have DVD version. The online versions are bad quality. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 10:42, August 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, those pictures do appear to be of Rander. I'll work on expanding the article. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 18:30, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. BTW I compared costume of Marine 1 and man throwned by Wraith, from back, his right shoulder and I think it is same. Better will be if you will check, but I think it is him. I believe that after he was stunned Wraith grab him and then thrown. So it's Marine 1 I think. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 19:10, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

Will you check? And if it was Marine 1 then edit him? BTW thanks for Radner. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 22:55, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

It is Marine 1? Digital on Costume looks same. Compare and if yes Please edit Marine 1. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 20:21, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * I just watched the scene and I'm pretty sure that the marine that is thrown is not marine 1. Marine 1 is stunned and falls to the ground behind Soldier (The Siege, Part 3). Soldier (The Siege, Part 3) continues to fire, and the marine that is thrown is standing up infront of him.


 * Because marine 1 falls to the ground behind Soldier (The Siege, Part 3), and the marine that is thrown is standing up infront of Soldier (The Siege, Part 3), I think they are different people. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:50, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

Then it is Radner. Can you add it on page, Please? --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 20:53, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

Could that thrown killed him? --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 21:01, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's possible. It's also possible that the grenade that Soldier (The Siege, Part 3) activated killed him, but we can't know for sure. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 21:05, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

Radner Status
Maybe we can calculate that: If you look on this Promo photo You can see Radner on the ground Link: http://www.sga-project.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=395&fullsize=1

And here is whole Balcony: http://www.cap-that.com/atlantis/201/images/atlantis201_0036.jpg

What do you think? I'm not sure but Marine 1 probably died because he falls behind Soldier who activated grenade. --Matthew Bowyer Fan (talk) (Contribs) 22:18, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's possible. The best we can say on the article is ' It is unknown if he survived the engagement', as saying anything else would be speculation. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:22, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

Missiles
Dear Anubis10545,

I just wondered why you deleted my article about the Maverick Missiles used by the SCG?

Pastor TracyPastor Tracy (talk) (Contribs) 20:19, August 12, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello! The articles appears to have been deleted for the following reason:


 * The article was specifically about the " AGM 65-G Maverick" missile. The name 'missiles' is a generic term, which can apply to any missile.
 * The name 'AGM 65-G Maverick' was never mentioned on the show. Visually, the missiles in Sacrifices do look like a match. However, we try to avoid (maybe a little too much) including speculative information; Without further information from the show and without being more knowledgeable about missiles myself, I couldn't verify that that is the actual missile used. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 21:49, August 12, 2016 (UTC)

Missiles
Dear Anubis,

There was no speculation involved, I extensively researched the Maverick Missile and watched the show repeatedly in high def to see the markings on the missles used. They were definately the AGM 65-G Maverick Missiles. 100% verified, no ifs ands or buts.

Sincerely,

Pastor Tracy (talk) (Contribs) 00:22, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you. With that in mind, I re-created your article here. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 00:43, August 13, 2016 (UTC)

Osric.
Hi. I didn't wanna to copy a question from the talkpage from the page of the character Osric. Could you go and look? I did ask. No one seemed to have time to read it. Dragonfly82 (talk) (Contribs) 16:44, September 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey. I actually read your post yesterday and made some changes to the article as per the point you brought up. I agree that it was speculation to claim Osric was killed by Adria. Obviously, we can't say for sure if Osric was a real person that Adria was impersonating (and if that's true, what the real Osric's fate was) or if Osric was a fictitious persona Adria entirely made up.


 * Mitchell says "So, the troops in the village, the shootout in the tavern, that was all a set-up." to which Adria replies "More than you know". Thus, it seems possible that inventing Osric was also part of the setup. But then again, we really can't say


 * For the sake of the article, I've figured that writing it was though Osric was created entirely by Adria is the least-speculative approach to take, given that we've only seen Osric being Adria. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 18:20, September 4, 2016 (UTC)

I appreciate you were taking my theory into account. Dragonfly82 (talk) (Contribs) 21:26, September 4, 2016 (UTC)

Stargate's future etc.
Hi there Anubis 10545, First of allow me to congratulate you and the fans of the stargate franchise on setting up the wiki to what yous can do. Second of all I would like to point you all to my page to see my plans for stargate's future or what I hope for it to be Stargate's future. Please let me know what you think. ((See my Profile under Profile tab for the plans)) Dazboy (talk) (Contribs) 06:22, September 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey! Thanks for your kind words about the site. I've checked out your user page and, naturally, any plans to make new episodes of Stargate are definitely worth pursuing. Frankly, it's hard to tell exactly what's going to happen to the franchise in the coming years given all these rumors of a reboot (and given the mixed reviews of the new Independence day, that whole thing seems a bit up in the air). But whatever happens, I applaud your initiative and wish you the best of luck. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 07:12, September 5, 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

If you need help with administration on the Stargate page, I think I have an extensive knowledge of the franchise and would love to help. If you need help with certain pages, just leve a message.

Thank you.

 * The DVD sets in different regions tend to list episodes in slightly different orders for some reason. The order we use is the same one wikipedia uses, which is the production order. They aired origionally and are aired in re-run in the order we list them in here. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:00, February 11, 2017 (UTC)

What's your thoughts on using this info?
Hey Anubis, what's your thoughts on using Fleetyards scale for the size of the 303 as seen in this video, they do a pretty sound job and their mesurements are based on the orginal 3D models used in the show. Jordan Edmond (talk) 23:55, February 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey! Thanks for bringing that video to my attention. I honestly love how in several parts they were literally just reading from the wiki (I don't know, I thought that was kind of neat). Anyway, they bring up some really good points.


 * For the standard answer about our policy regarding measurements, check out this.


 * However, because they do bring up such a good point, I'm thinking we could include their measurements and reasoning in a 'notes' section at the bottom of the BC-303 page, with a 'note' link next to the "official" measurements to direct readers down to it. My only issue is that, while they do ostensibly have the original 3D models, they used a 6ft tall human model as the base reference for everything, which seems like it could give rise to error, especially when scaled from from human to 302 to 303. Even if there was no error, it is still an estimation. (Though personally, I feel like they're pretty dead-on).


 * In short, we can't just throw out the 'official' measurements, but I feel like the numbers they worked out can have a place on the page. I'll get on that. Thanks again. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 06:31, February 17, 2017 (UTC)

Assistance Requested, if Possible
Hey Anubis. This is ElsaRules!!! I'm primarily a contributor over at the Warehouse 13 Artifact Database wiki.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with Warehouse 13, but just in case you aren't, it's an old SyFy show (Aired around the time of SGU) where Secret Service agents stationed at a Warehouse in the middle of South Dakota have to travel around the world collecting objects imbued with supernatural abilities called "Artifacts". The artifacts have various properties and origins, and they're stored in the Warehouse to keep them away from the public.

Recently, I had an idea to make the Stargate prop from SG-1 an artifact, which one of my Admins agreed would be cool. The original idea is that it linked to a parallel universe in which both of the shows (Stargate and Warehouse 13) exist, caused by some spatial anomaly in that universe causing it to dial across the universe into our WH one, and the emotions of the producers at the time of filming a scene brought the artifact to be. However, another one of my Admins shot down the idea, because he dislikes the idea of "bringing shows to life" and removing it from fiction and placing it as fact.

My trouble is, is that I've been unable to come up with a new effect for this artifact. I mean, travel to other worlds is the biggest point of the Stargate, and it's been difficult to get out of that perspective to change the effects to something that might be approved of. Seeing as you're one of the biggest Stargate fans I've seen on the wiki, I was wondering if you could assist me in coming up with another idea. It doesn't have to be the Stargate prop, I suppose, if that can't work. But I definitely want to represent at least SG-1 in the Warehouse, preferably a prop that was used heavily that could become imbued with a property of its origin. If you can help, it would be appreciated. Thanks again!--ElsaRules!!! (talk) (Contribs) 19:26, April 3, 2017 (UTC)

Episode infobox
Hey I made some changes to the episode infoboxes to include the main cast members. Now we can have links to the main characters as well as any alternate versions that the main actors portray. You can see how it looks on the Children of the Gods and There But for the Grace of God pages. What do you think? Thurgood42 (talk) (Contribs) 12:00, June 2, 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks great! And given that not every main character is in every episode (especially in some of the later SGA episodes), it'd be useful for showing which mains were in which episodes, instead of just burying that info in the 'notes' section, which has always sort of bugged me. - Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:25, June 2, 2017 (UTC)

You should not have information from the Stargate Atlantis novels as part of the Rodney Mckay page with the information from the series. This gives the impression that it is canon which it is not. Unless you have some hard proof fsaying it is. Simply being  offical approved  licensed  material  does not mean it is canon. There is a comic book series that is officially approved  licensed  material, but has a whole different story line following Season 5.

Any info from the novels should be limited to a page about the novels or at least have its own heading like I did, other then just the reference note at the end, to more clearly separate  it from the television series. To do otherwise including  the way it is now, does a disservice to the characters  and show as a whole. 03:19, July 18, 2017 (UTC)Mckeller (talk) (Contribs)

Hello and problem with user
The user called Thurgood42 has been removing content and nevigational content from the Titan Magazines (which I've restored) and Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection. At first, I thought it was an error, but I noticed he'd done the same to other pages. I haven't restored the content and navigational content to Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection yet, but I wondered if you knew what was going on? I also shared these pages with yourself, when I spent hours improving layout and adding content. I've been away a few months and have only just returned. It just wondered if you knew what was going on?

Also,along with 2 other users I've created and developing my knowledge of wiki's on ThunderCats Wiki Ho. It's a work in progresst, but there is only 3 main user, so it's not looking too bad.

--Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 21:33, July 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey! Nice to see you again. User:Thurgood42 recently become an administrator here. I trust his judgement, but I'm really not sure what his intentions were with the Titan Magazine's edits (you'd have to ask him I suppose). But given that they were made a month ago and nothing else seems to have come of it, I agree that reverting that edit (like you did) seems like the prudent thing to do.


 * Can you also provide me with the links to the other pages you're questioning? (The Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection article itself is fine, and by just randomly looking I wasn't able to the other articles you're referring to).


 * Also, thanks for taking care of all those Stargate SG-1 / Atlantis: Homeworlds short story articles!


 * To be honest, I don't know the first thing about the Thundercats (lol). From what I've seen of your wiki, though, it looks like you're doing good work over there. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 09:07, July 31, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello. Sorry, I made error in regards to the Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection. On the Titan Magazine page however, all the clickable link text and magazine covers where removed. As I've reversed changes, you would need to check it's 'history' to see what I mean. I'll just see what happens, as it may have been a mistake.


 * And you're welcome in regards to the Stargate SG-1 / Atlantis: Homeworlds short story articles. Thy are not finished, by any means, but I've made a start. I've also been given extracts and permission to add them for each story by Sally Malcome, so that's my next task.


 * I'm going to start improving the printed media section once again. It seems like it's a never ending tunnel, even there is light somewhere in the distance.

Asgard10: BC-304 Hyperdrive Question - Answer
I'll be glad to.

Please keep in mind the distance between Pegasus (3 million LY) and Othala (2 million LY) from the Milky Way.

Asgard ships were capable of reaching Earth from the Othala galaxy within hours of travel time if not sooner. In (New Order, Part 2) as I highly doubt they kept the System Lords in the conference room for over two days. An O'neill class vessel was capable of travesing the same distance, while towing Prometheus, to Hala in about one day (Unnatural Selection). The fact that it took an Asgard vessel 4 days to travel over 3 million light years while it took mear hours from the Othala galaxy 2 million LY distance is complete off basis. If I'm wrong on that note, you are certainly welcome to make the change to it. -Asgard10 (talk) (Contribs) 09:41, August 12, 2017 (UTC)

Hello!

Content Portability on Stargate Wiki
Hello! I'm Mamvik, and I'm representing FANDOM's Vanguard team. We're users who volunteer to help communities adopt to new technologies and features, like content portability. We've identified Stargate Wiki as a high priority for introducing the Portable Infobox tool, which has a lot of benefits for your community. Rather than get into all of the metrics and numbers (though I can present some of those if you're interested), I'll keep it simple. I'd like to reproduce as much as possible the look and feel of your desktop infoboxes in global CSS, and work to update the Infobox templates themselves so that they can be accessible on any current and future platform. Maintaining them if you want to make changes should be very simple.

If I can do this successfully for some of your most commonly used Infoboxes and present some proof of concept, can we work together to do all of them? We'd really like to get working on your community, but we would appreciate your go-ahead. Also, if you have any questions, or this is the wrong venue for this kind of a discussion, please let me know. Thanks! Mamvik http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/sedali/images/f/fd/Vanguard.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/20?cb=20160826204149 | Talk  | Contribs  | Time:  19:06, August 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello Mamvik! After hurriedly getting myself up to speed on what content portability is, your proposal has my full support. Starting out with a few 'proof of concept' infoboxes sounds like a great way to begin. And, if they turn out well, I'd love to help implement them across the wiki. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 04:17, August 23, 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright! We're going to first convert some infoboxes and show them as a drafts. If you're okay with the results, we'll continue as you approve the rest as we go. :) Mamvik http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/sedali/images/f/fd/Vanguard.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/20?cb=20160826204149 | Talk  | Contribs  | Time:  18:19, August 23, 2017 (UTC)

IOA
We've got an unregistered user that keeps putting the IOA as a UN agency. There's no proof of that and I see it as just vandalism.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) (Contribs) 17:54, September 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this to my attention. These edits appear to have been done with varying IP addresses over the past few days; I've just messaged the ones I've noticed. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 05:21, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * I reversed what I've caught but I might not have gotten everything. You should check. I know the IOA page is probably still not totally correct so check on that one please. I doubt that guy's gonna stop though so you should probably block unregistered users from editing. That'll at least force him to use a registered account if he wants to keep editing. I'm an Admin myself on another Wiki so I find it frustrating to deal with people like this guy. It would be easier to reverse his edits if I had Rollback as that would allow me to reverse him when he has multiple edits in one go instead of doing it individually one at a time but sadly I'm a mere editor on this one.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) (Contribs) 05:25, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * Congratulations! I've just given you rollback privileges. Thanks again for your help. I'll be sure to double check to make sure we've gotten everything back into shape. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 05:31, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks man!!! Wasn't sure if I should ask and if I did whether or not I'd get it. Usually I'm content to sit back and be a regular editor on these things, but on occasion I do want more. One time I got promoted to Admin and I still don't know why!!! A different Wiki than the one I mentioned. The one I mentioned I actively sought out both Rollback and Admin because I felt I could do a very great deal of good. The other Admins agreed and backed me up on the poll thing. As did everyone else who voted I believe. I'm content with just Rollback here though.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) (Contribs) 05:43, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * I went through and reverted a bunch of stuff you didn't seem to have gotten to yet. I also fixed one that you reverted that had the revert list the combatants on our side as the USA not the IOA. Oh and fun fact: I checked the poll thing for my Admin promotion from that other Wiki. Of the votes (all but two were not Admins) only one was an opposition. It was a regular editor who was such a pain in the ass he got his own Admin rights revoked a long time ago from what I could gather and then got an Infinite Ban from the site through a vote not long after I got promoted.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) (Contribs) 05:55, September 14, 2017 (UTC)

User Uptown1989's edits
You need to check up on their edits. I think they are making at least some unnecessary additions such as linking everything that already has an existing link a paragraph above. Stuff like that.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) (Contribs) 00:56, October 4, 2017 (UTC)

I just noticed you banned them a few days ago for a few days. It looks like they went right back to work once the ban ended.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) (Contribs) 01:07, October 4, 2017 (UTC)

I've said something to them myself but they are completely ignoring me and persisting in unneeded and unconstructive edits. Such as listing Morgan Le Fay dead twice. Which I have reverted both times and pointed out that she is not in fact dead.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) (Contribs) 01:40, October 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * I noticed too. The edits are overlinking to stuff, and are excessive. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  02:46, October 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey guys. Sorry for the delay in responding to this. I've gone ahead and extended the ban on their account. Thanks for the help. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 03:55, October 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * Need to go through and probably reverse a lot of their edits too. Maybe consider making it permanent as they have shown no sign of learning from the first ban and possibly intending to do it again when this new ban ends.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) (Contribs) 04:17, October 4, 2017 (UTC)

Portable Infoboxes Conversion
Hello, I believe you remember I've started the conversion of infoboxes here. I've already finished Battle infobox. You can visit the page I've just linked and see how all infoboxes are gonna look. I truly apologize for the delay :)

Are there some improvements needed? If so, please reply here. Also, without your feedback, I would go ahead and approve all the infoboxes on 1st November.

Waiting for your answer :) Mamvik http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/sedali/images/f/fd/Vanguard.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/20?cb=20160826204149 | Talk  | Contribs  | Time:  14:20, October 8, 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I just have a qustion about the information on the Jennifer Keller page. I noticted that it no longer inculeds any of the events in the timeline that is from the novels. Why is that? I am not complaining, I am just asking out of curoisty because when I attemped to removed something related to the novels that I did not feel belonged there, it was almost undone overnight. I am happy about the changes and agree with them, but I  just feel anoyed if this change was approved when the simler change that I made was treated as wrong when I did it. Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 02:53, October 13, 2017 (UTC)

So please disregard my last message. I thought that is was the Jennifer Keller page that I had edited. It was the Rodney Mckay page though and that is still the same. Sorry for the confusion.Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 03:14, October 13, 2017 (UTC)

Tutorial: Templates
Hi my name is SpyroSGCAU, i am have a simple question and i like to know.

How you build a template(like sgad, or other stuff), can you tell me how?

ASS:SpyroSGCAU (talk) (Contribs) 19:57, November 17, 2017 (UTC)SpyroSGCAU
 * Hello! It's a bit hard to answer that question. Each template is built quite a bit differently, so it's hard to make a general statement on how to do it. Here is the link to the sgad template if you'd like to see the coding behind how it works. Here is also a link which describes how to get started building templates on pretty much any wikia. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 05:21, November 18, 2017 (UTC)

Mckeller question
why did you remove the the qoute that I added in the quotes section of Brain Storm? Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 02:02, November 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry about that! I meant to revert this edit, where you inserted two empty lines under the 'Synopsis' section. I used wikia's 'rollback' feature, which is a quick way to undo either one or a series of edits made by a contributor on an article. However, as illustrated by that article's history, because no one had edited between the time you added those two empty lines and the time that you added that quote, it reverted the article all the way back to October 3rd. I went ahead and fixed it. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 05:17, November 19, 2017 (UTC)

Question
Hi,

I was wondering if I can add Template:Fairuse to the photos. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  03:18, November 22, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello! So it seems that Template:Fairuse is is exactly the same as Template:Image (the template Stargate Wiki uses currently), but with a different name. Both templates work in the same manner, and both place any images they are included on into the category:Fair use images.


 * Two things:


 * 1) Having two versions of the same template but with different names is redundant, and the 'Template:Image' is currently already on hundreds of images.
 * 2) We really haven't been using that template/category for a while. Realistically, almost every image we have on here (besides images of actors, logos, and a few other things) is directly from the Stargate series. Thus, the template itself is a bit useless. Going and adding that template to thousands of images would be a lot of work with not a whole lot of tangible benefit.


 * But, let me know if you have a different perspective on this and if you have any concerns! -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 09:26, November 22, 2017 (UTC)

Question
Hello Anubis, I am new here. I would like to know for what reason my edit about "meaning of Jarren" was reverted back? Thanks! 90.2.109.64 16:30, November 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello! Sorry about that. I went ahead and put your edit back in, but changed the wording slightly (I removed the word "probably" to denote that we don't know for sure if the similarity was intentional.) I also put it in a "Notes" section to separate it from the main text of the article.


 * I don't speak Chinese, but google translate was telling me that Jiārén (家人) means "family". I'm not exactly sure if it means "family man", but it seems close enough, so I'll defer to you on that.


 * Thanks for your contributions! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:55, November 23, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, I recently asked a friend of mine who spoke Chinese and he said that Jiārén (家人) was indeed a very commonly used word in Chinese, it means literally "a person from family" i.e. a relative or a family member. As the word can also be used as a plural, translating it as "family" by Google Translate is not totally wrong. Anyway, since I knew Jarren was a slave and he seemed like some kind of a domestic servant, it was an error by my part thinking that the word meant "family man" (as in family servant) and not "family member". I'm gonna go ahead and edit. Thanks! 90.2.109.64 02:58, November 24, 2017 (UTC)

McKeller Question
I just had a intrest qustion come up the other day. Is there a way to see how many current edits have been made?Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 23:56, November 25, 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you mean the number of edits that have been made on Stargate Wiki since it was created? You can view that here; (It says it's 337,811, though i'm not sure though if that number includes all pages (including images, template, user pages, etc) or just regular pages). -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:57, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

MechQuesteBot's edits
Hi, Tyler. Check out contributions of MechQuesteBot please. They are not necessary and primitive (f.e. changing "L" to "l" in "External Links" title), but they are wholesale, so I'm pretty sure it's a bot. &#34;They broke off and formed a country of their own&#34;. &#34;Oh, let me guess, &#34;Rusha?&#34; (talk) (Contribs) 01:14, November 26, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's MechQueste's bot. I'm a bit uneasy about how all of their edits are clogging up the 'recent changes' list, given that they're not exactly necessary. Given that we have 14,000 images on this site, I don't really think it's feasible to include the "Fairuse" template on every one of them.


 * I'll talk to them. Thanks for mentioning it! -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:57, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

He doesn't listen to another users, just goes on to do what he already did, so he will not stop. He should be stopped by you, admins. Please do something about it. Thanks. &#34;They broke off and formed a country of their own&#34;. &#34;Oh, let me guess, &#34;Rusha?&#34; (talk) (Contribs) 20:54, November 26, 2017 (UTC)
 * If you actually look at the edits they are fixing proper formatting and grammar, however. The only problem, besides the non-issue that the bot is "increasing his edit count" (which don't matter), is that with so many edits, the recent changes are being filled with these edits. If you, as a bureaucrat, can request having MechQuesteBot be tagged as a bot by Fandom, this would eliminate the problem with the recent changes, and allow MechQueste to continue using the bot to actually improve the wiki by fixing much of the poor formatting automatically. It would be a shame for the improvement to stop because someone doesn't like that someone "has more edits than them" or because someone can't understand grammar and formatting. Ntrl1014 (talk) (Contribs) 21:17, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

I have stopped editing and will not edit with it anymore. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  21:06, November 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey everyone. Here is my response to this discussion. In the future, lets make sure we keep these discussions respectful of both sides. Thanks for all of your feedback! -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 21:23, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

Trading Cards
I have a problem with a page I created, Stargate Heroes Tading cards. It has a warning added to about beinging considered for deletion. A non regsistered user (A FANDOM user) is telling me they don't think it is a real or liscnced product. Because of this, i have inculed the copyright info from the back of one of the cards as part of the page. I think the is a liget page considering the is already a page about a Stagegate trading card game. The page that I created page is about a diffrent product. If you could make a ruling on this page it would be great. If the page is ok to have, please removed the deletion warning. It has been added again since I undid that edit. I removed that warning because it seems to be a result of miss information that the subject of the page is false. Thank you for your time and help.Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 18:13, November 29, 2017 (UTC) I put a deletion tag on the Stargate Heros Trading Card Game page because based on the spelling of the name it most likely is not officially licensed as the word closest to heros is heroes, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't release a product with a wrong name like that. McKeller keeps removing it, despite the fact it says it shouldn't be removed, I'm assuming that is because an admin is supposed to make the decision, and not the person who made the dubious page, correct? The only evidence the user posted were really low-quality and nothing can be made out from them, but the user says these images mean the page is about a licensed product? I understand people can edit this site from around the world so it's understandable that mckeller might not understand what is being said, so if you could take a look and see If this is an actual licensed product so someone can make sure the page is understandable and verified for people that would be good.

Hi, I feel that I am being sighty bullied by a user. A Fandom user # 99.203.17.125

It seems this person (no record of an admm. doing this that I know of) put up a consideration for deletion tag because they are harassing me about the content being fake. They have repeated the acusstion more then once even after I proviode source matreial. They are claim that the pictures I provided are not proof becasue the are not clear enough. I have provide the compney website link that made the product which is the subject of the page. I have removed the tag more then once becauce my correct contubutes are being insulted and I am being disrecpted. I feel like they are treating me like a bad guy. The user has also  asked me what my native languge is and if I need a translator to understand whats going on. PLEASE, PLEASE help settle this. Or i just i could not worry about it and just stop being involed with this site. They are making me look like an asshole without looking at the sourses that I piovided. This info can be found on the page. I am being treat like I am stupid I have also told them that the missspelling of the word Heroes was my mistake and therefore not reason to think the product is fake, but they keep attacking my honesty with this idea too as can be seen in their meeage to you above. The follow is part of our talk page:Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 03:41, November 30, 2017 (UTC) I'm only trying to make sure someone doesn't put unlicensed material on this site, is that not allowed? When I asked what his native language is I am trying to figure out the best way to communicate with mckeller, seeing as how they are not a native English speaker. Is trying to communicate bullying now? As I already stated the pictures that were provided as evidence are too low in quality to see what the text says and don't prove anything. If it is determined that it actually is a licensed product, obviously a page should be made, but using the proper spelling of course. I probably won't be continuing to come to the site however, because if the way Mckeller has been acting and treating people who are trying to make sure the site contains accurate and valid information is any indication, this site is not to be trusted, and not a very good place to get information about Stargate. Hopefully this is only one incident, and the whole site is not generally this hostile to new people who are trying to read here and help out.

I have provided proof other then  the pictures to vadate the fact that this product is real.As I have said you can review thes information on the  The page in question for yourself. It is there in the open for all to review. You have disregared them or not investgated if as mentionted. I have tried to work this out in a friendly manner as should be had on a site were fans help each other.

I am truely sorry that you feel like need to leave. Please don't. I relize now that you are new and trying to help. We make mistakes. I have made a simler one. Do you kow how to delte a page? You are right about the the title i just not sure to change it. but I will try to delete it and nake a new one spelled right. The page context however is correct and therefore will remain. I am sorry for my defensivness. I think now that I was wrong. Please stay. This is a great site and the people are great inculding me ( no really! ) :) You wiil do great here I'm sure.

By the way I am native English speaking:)

Talk: Stargate Heros Trading Cards
Back to page ADD TOPIC Pretty sure this isn't a real or licensed product, like would MGM really call it Stargate Heros, instead of something more appropriate or even spell Heroes correctly?

So the person who claims they made it and says they think this is real removed the deletion tag but it says not to.

Now, the reason that I undo the deletion thing is be it seems that the reason for it is because you consider the page topic fake. That is a GROSSLY FALSE ACUSATION and if you have poroblem inn the future talk to that person or talk to a admm. If you  have such issues. It is insulting to to my hard work and conntubutions.

What is your native language, because we may need to use a translator so that you might be able to understand this. None of the low quality images you took with your cell phone shows anything that makes someone think this is officially licensed as you can't really see any text in the picture at all.

Stargate Origins
Hey,

I am super excited for the new series!!! Definitely worth the wait.

I have to admit, I had thoughts of a prequel for a while, ever since when I started watching. Catherine Langford definitely deserved a prequel of sorts. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  21:28, December 3, 2017 (UTC)

Main Page
Hey Anubis,

I wanted to ask. Can protection be given to the main page? I know protection is supposed to be more reactive than pre-emptive. However, I think this wiki is more of a high traffic one, especially with a new tv show coming out. Would full protection be applied there?

Thanks

&mdash; MechQueste  talk  22:23, December 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey! Currently, it's protected so that new and unregistered users are blocked from editing it. No one's edited the page in 18 months. So, for now, I don't think increasing the protection of it is necessarily needed. However, I appreciate the suggestion!


 * That also reminds me that I should probably update the current events/featured article/poll templates we have on there (it's been a while). I'll get around to that in a few days. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:33, December 3, 2017 (UTC)

I was woundering why the page Uncale George has a --This individual has no known canonical name.   While the information presented is  canonical, the individual described lacks an official name, thus the title is conjecture.tag.

Is it because there is no last name given. I thought that the name George would be offical since it was actully stated in the episode, therefore  would think that it would be canonical. Could you explian this tag. Thanks!Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 23:15, December 5, 2017 (UTC)

Question about categories
If an article is already in Category:Milky Way Humans, or Category:Tau'ri, is there a need to be in Category:Humans? &mdash; MechQueste  talk  15:11, December 7, 2017 (UTC)

After some looking, not in Humans, but a person can be in both Tau'ri and Milky Way Humans

From the Tar'ri category page: Tau'ri is the term used by the inhabitants of the  Milky Way  to refer to  human beings  from Earth.

From the  Milky way category page: A list of humans from the Milky Way Galaxy Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 03:16, December 8, 2017 (UTC)

 * Hey! Officially, I don't know what happened to Bauer beyond what was shown in Chain Reaction. Presumably, incompetence wouldn't be grounds for his arrest. Maybe they just gave him a nice desk job afterwards.

User Rights
Hi,

Am I eligible for any userrights? &mdash; MechQueste  talk  03:55, December 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey! You and your bot have spent a good amount of time here over the past 3 months. I can definitely give you rollback rights. I'd be okay with giving you Admin rights at some point in the near future, but I'd like to give it maybe a little more time, if you'd be willing.


 * Also, I'm currently waiting for the wikia people to get back to me about flagging your bot.


 * One last thing. Thanks for making all of those Navbox templates! I've made a few changes to your Visual effects artists templates (ie: I included a header). I've also found that a number of those templates have some issues with the spacing of the names (ie: a single name often shows up in the first and last line), which we should probably correct. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 10:14, December 10, 2017 (UTC)


 * hey, I am not in a rush for admin powers. (but rollback is fine) I just love stargate so much.

As for the bot, man, if anything is an indication, there is a Techical updates board for Fandom which posts patch info. They stopped posting patch for the year and probably for the rest of the month (and year) probably turned into "call us if there is an emergency" mode.

Templates, yeah I'll get on it. Thanks. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  14:56, December 10, 2017 (UTC)

Transcripts
Hi,

I found a series of transcripts here. I was wondering if I can bring them over to stargate wiki. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  03:51, December 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey. Yeah, stargate-sg1-solutions.com and gateworld.net are really the two main websites with Stargate transcripts. I've been thinking for a while that we might want to include transcripts on Stargate Wikia just so we wouldn't have to rely on external sources. My main concern with actually doing this is:


 * 1) Gateworld and staragte-sg1-solutions already have transcripts for every episode, so including them on Stargate Wikia may be a bit redundant.
 * 2) Adding in 354 transcripts would be a large amount of work/time. Ideally, we wouldn't want to just 'copy and paste' the exact text from stargate-sg1-solutions or gateworld; we'd need to somehow alter their formatting or presentation slightly just so it's not an 'exact' copy.
 * However, if you'd like to do it, that's totally fine with me. I'm thinking that the best way to implement them would be to do it like "First Contact/transcript", so that each transcript would, in effect, be a sub-page of the episode's page. We could additionally include a section on the episode infobox template that would link to the transcript page (and maybe one that links to that episode's photo gallery too). Give me a few days and I'll tinker with this. - Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 08:49, December 17, 2017 (UTC)

Response
Hello Lord Anubis,

My new year went well. Hope yours went well. I have read your talk page, and I have removed the templates for the Pegasus planets as well as the Tau'ri ships.

If you don't mind, I would like to know which ones are below standards so can i remove them. other ones that are useful, as deemed by you, would be fixed and revised to appear on certain pages, as needed.

Thanks.

&mdash; MechQueste  talk  14:34, January 18, 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey MechQueste, thanks for taking care of those. I'm still in the process of going through all the templates. In particular, I'm really liking the media-themed ones. So, I'm immensely grateful for all the work you/your bot did in making/distributing those!


 * I'll work on coming up with a list of templates that I think are potentially unneeded, and I'll sent it your way once I do. (Though to be honest, I may have been a bit overzealous in my previous message to you.) Anyway, thanks again -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 00:28, January 19, 2018 (UTC)


 * I have to admit, I was overzealous in adding templates, because i thought it would be helpful to readers. However, I will defer to the No. 1 System Lord. (plus, I kind of prefer messages to the point.). &mdash; MechQueste  talk  20:00, January 19, 2018 (UTC)

Mckeller Question
Hi, I was wouldering why the page that I created "'Uncle George'" has a Jaffa, Kree on it. Also why does it have the following notice on it: This individual has no known canonical name.   While the information presented is  canonical, the individual described lacks an official name, thus the title is conjecture.

I think this is incorrect becace the name is not conjecture. the name is canon and not just asumed. There are other pages that are about people that have a first name only. Do they lack an offical name? I it because he is not actully seen on screen? I did not see anything in the Manual of Style that adresses this. Thank you for your help.Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 06:19, January 19, 2018 (UTC)

Would you please  remove Uncle Greorge from the unnamed catagory? Hise name is Greorge. Thank you.Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 06:31, January 19, 2018 (UTC)

How can I remove a catagory that I add to an artical that i then decide that need to be there?Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 06:44, January 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey Mckeller. I placed the "Kree" template on the Uncle George article when this was the state of the article. The issues with the article in this state were as follows:
 * The article was written in the present tense. Information describing something that has happened in the past belongs in the past tense, as explained in our Manual of Style.
 * The episode citation was incorrect. Instead of pasting the text as "(SGA: Brainstorm)", the proper formatting is, which shows up as  in the article.
 * The article was placed in the "Templates category", which only templates should be included in, not articles. Additionally, it was included in a non-existent category named "Stargate A".
 * There were unused section headings, inducing "biography", "External links", and "Behind the scenes", under which no information was included.
 * The title of the article itself is a bit at odds with out naming convention, as titles/nicknames should be omitted (which is also explained in our manual of style). In this case, "Uncle" is technically a nickname/title. However, given that just naming this article "George" doesn't make much logical sense, I included the "This individual has no canonical name" template to denote that we don't know his full name, (though that template doesn't quite fit either. I'll remove it and figure something else out).


 * All of these errors are honestly super minor. The article itself is fine content. I only included the "Kree" template because I saw those errors, but didn't have time to fix them immediately; I included the Kree template so I could easily find the article later and edit it. However, it appears that user:Ntrl1014 beat me to it and already fixed those errors in this edit. Thus, I'll remove the template.


 * To remove a category from an article, click "edit". On the right side of the page, there will be a small box in which the categories are listed. Simply hover your cursor over the category you wish to remove, and click the trashcan icon that appears. An image of this is provided here.


 * Let me know if you have any more questions! -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 07:17, January 19, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for all the time and help you put into this! I is fustrating to me sometime when I read how to do something a couple of times and still need help figuring it out. Your example of  proper formating for SGA: "BrainStorm" in directly help me to figure out how to formate thing to link to other pages. Can you look at the page for P4C-151 and tell me if there is anything else that needs to be fixed, ehen you can:)
 * Hey Mckeller. Overall, the article looked pretty good. I just made a few minor edits.


 * Generally, when I go to write an article, I first look at how other similar articles are written. For example: MGX-482 and M1K-439 are similar to the article you created, "P4C-151" (ie: Both planets are in the pegasus galaxy, both contain a stargate, and both are used as the alpha site.) Thus, the easiest approach for me is to click "edit" on MGX-482, copy the text in that article, and paste it into P4C-151. Then, all you have to do is change a few of the details (ie: the planet name, the history, the source of the information, etc.) Using this approach generally saves me time trying to figure out how to format an article. Let me know if this helps!- Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 00:36, January 20, 2018 (UTC)


 * By the way, I should point out that I usually use the "classic editor" option (ie: Instead of just clicking "edit", click on the arrow to the right of the "edit" button, and click "classic editor"). I also switch from "visual" to "source" (this is on the top-right of the edit box). Doing this allows me to see all the text (like what you see here, which makes it easier for me to format templates (like the infobox and the template). I bring this up because the paragraph I explained above would work slightly differently depending on how you're editing the page. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 00:56, January 20, 2018 (UTC)

That is a really good sugestion about copying the format from simliar pages, thank you! there are at lest two other SGA Back to Pegasus related page that  could be done, so I will try that. One of them I am having a little struggel coming up with a good artical name. It is for an Ancient lab that is found on Earth's moon by the Atlantis team. We are lead to belive that it is a lab that Janus had. If you or anyone who reads this has a good ideas, please leave it here of on my talk page. Thanks again :) Mckeller (talk) (Contribs) 05:59, January 24, 2018 (UTC)

Community App
hello

How are you?

I am wondering if there’s a Community App for sgcommand. If not, perhaps we could get 1?

&mdash; MechQueste  talk  02:03, January 25, 2018 (UTC)
 * Wow, I didn't even know this was a thing wikia was doing now. Yeah, I'm looking into it. Thanks for pointing that out. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 08:49, January 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * It appears the expected requirements are here. We have a broad fan base and Stargate definitely does get updated with our editors. I should point out 2 things though. I had applied along with several others on the x-files wiki. Fandom told us that it would mean we would have to do 2 things:


 * remove forums and replace with discussions (facebook comment like system that is horribly oriented to non-desktop mobile users)
 * curate the mobile main page.


 * 2 is easily done but the first one, the x-files wiki weren't happy with because the forums served us well. Discussions lacked a few features that forums has.


 * anyways, wanted to let you know about it. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  12:53, January 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * So apparently, adding discussions won't remove the forums. But at some point in the future, wikia will remove forums from all of wikia and only discussions will exist from that point on . So I guess discussions are coming whether we like it or not.


 * I'll message them about getting an app and see what happens. I feel like we at least meet the first 3 out of the 4 criteria they give. I guess it depends on how bright a future they believe Stargate has. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 06:33, January 27, 2018 (UTC)

Manche Question
Hello,

can I have a question? The scenes from flashbacks are counted into the lists of appearances in all cases or only when the character had a speaking scene in the flashback? And what about characters who has less episodes or only one appearance (For example, Marul from The sentinel, should we mentioned in his profile that he appeared in Disclosure in the flashback?) I am only curious how it exactly works.

Wish you a nice day.


 * Hello! So it looks like if a person appears in a flashback (ie: in a clipshow episode), their appearance will be colored in green. This will be the case whether the character had a speaking role or not (just a long as the character was shown on-screen). In this example, the episodes "Politics", "Out of Mind" and "Inauguration" are colored in green, and they are clip shows.


 * For characters like Marul who have appeared in a small number of episodes (perhaps, less than 5), instead of having their own "Appearances" page like Apophis, their appearances are listed in the infobox on their character page. Flashbacks can be listed there as well.


 * Let me know if you have any more questions! -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 05:47, January 31, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much for information. I have one small question towards this: Into flashbacks, do we count also appearances in Previously at Stargate...
 * If someone appears in the "Previously on" segment of an episode, but not in the rest of the episode, we would not list that as an appearance. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 04:07, February 3, 2018 (UTC)

Forum migration and Discussions
Hi Anubis 10545; I'm Mike with FANDOM's Community Development Team! With Stargate: Origins debuting, I'm reaching out to you to see if you are interested in turning on the Discussions feature for your community, and also migrating your Threaded Forums across as well.

In case you are unaware of the feature, Discussions was introduced to help communities engage with users and fans. It lives in its own space on the wiki and allows users to interact with other members of the community. It is also mobile friendly, and gives mobile users a chance to contribute and engage with the community, and possibly turn them into wiki editors as well. You can read more about Discussions here.

For more information on migrating forums to Discussions, you can check out this blog over on Community Central that explains everything in detail.

If you have some concerns, Discussions and Forums can exist side-by-side in case you do not want to migrate just yet. However, eventually all Forums will be migrated over to Discussions, so getting ahead of the curve is never a bad idea.

Let me know what you think, and if you want to proceed I can get the ball rolling. - Cavalier One Talk 17:44, February 15, 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey Mike. Yes, implementing Discussions (and migrating Forums to Discussions) sounds terrific! -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 07:49, February 16, 2018 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I still haven't done this. I have next week off (and this week's pretty light), so i'll definitely be making time to add to the wiki (and actually finish watching Stargate Origins, heh).


 * By the way, special thanks for handling that Milky Way and Pegasus galaxy human category issue a few days ago. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 08:52, March 21, 2018 (UTC)


 * replying here so you get a notification. (You're welcome about the categories.

As for talk page wall, I think it could be a good idea. Almost all websites, that is non-wiki, automatically attaches username to every message. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and many others do this. Thus, newbies treat wiki the same way and would not "know" to add ~. Personally, I think it is kind an anomaly and frankly somewhat odd. I agree though this would be good for users since it would be easy to follow how the flow of messages.

However, there is a downside. In a switch, whatever is on the talk page would disappear. There is no "conversion" and doesn't go in parallel, and vice versa. That is the only downside and probably requires Fandom to change that. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  18:00, March 21, 2018 (UTC)

There are a few inactive admins on this wiki, with User:Marco Polo inactive since 2008 (10 years). Wanted to let you know. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  22:14, March 30, 2018 (UTC)
 * I appreciate you pointing that out. So I have two things to ask you now.


 * 1) What do you think of this template I created for episode/image/transcript navigation? (An example of it is provided here). Ideally, I'd like it to look a little less ugly (Maybe we could place it under the infobox and/or adapt the color.) But I figure the overall format gets the job done. And we could slap it across all three article variants relatively easily. But I'm definitely open to suggestions.
 * 2) How would you like to be an administrator here? -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 08:19, March 31, 2018 (UTC)


 * looking at the code for the template, the only thing that I am slightly concerned about are those with "(episode)" in them. We would have to either truncate the template for those episodes to not list the (episode) or manually redirect the category to the correct one though. Other than that, it works suitably fine. When its deployed, I'll happily add it and remove the temporary work-around. :D

As for admin, sure. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  12:55, April 1, 2018 (UTC)

Also, I have edited the template so the "issue" is resolved. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  20:59, April 1, 2018 (UTC)

I've used the template on Ascnesion (episode) and Origin (episode). See for yourself. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  20:31, April 3, 2018 (UTC)
 * I actually hadn't considered that issue. So, in short, thank you! If you're happy with the template as it stands, you and your bot have my blessing to start distributing it across the wiki, if you'd like.


 * I have also just granted you Admin rights. (Glad to hear you approve). -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 08:07, April 4, 2018 (UTC)
