What is a wiki?
- A wiki is a collection of interlinked web pages, any of which can be visited and edited by anyone at any time (collaborative software). The concept and software were invented by Ward Cunningham. You can even edit the page you are reading right now (just click "Edit this page", to the left or on the top of this page). However, if you don't have anything to add or correct here, and you just want to see the wiki in action, edit the Sandbox page instead of this one. Also see the editing FAQ.
What is Memory Alpha?
- Memory Alpha is a project to create an organized and coherent fan encyclopedia for any and all topics related to the Star Trek series and movies.
What are the goals of Memory Alpha?
- When it was first published in 1994, the official Star Trek Encyclopedia quickly became the single most canonical reference source for anything having to do with Star Trek. However, the Encyclopedia has not been updated since October 1999 (more than twenty-five years at this point), leaving a great deal of undocumented information. In addition, each publication of the Encyclopedia was unavoidably obsolete before it even hit store shelves – there was always a cut-off date after which no information about the more recent episodes and movies was available. Although most of the knowledge missing from the most recent edition of the Encyclopedia is still available in some form or other on the Web, there is no single, definitive resource where all of that knowledge can be found. Memory Alpha's goal is to become that resource.
How did Memory Alpha get started?
How do I search Memory Alpha?
- Just use the Search bar at the side of the page! For more information, see Help: Search.
How do I link to a Memory Alpha page?
- Linking to an article in Memory Alpha from outside of the wiki is simple – use the domain name http://memory-alpha.org and the directory location /wiki/ plus the article title. Also, it is a good idea to replace spaces with underscores (_).
- Thus, a link to http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/James_T._Kirk goes to the article on James T. Kirk.
