Name Current Text
 {{edithint-bias}}

[edit] Bias

Please refrain from adding bias in articles. This lacks the objectivity that Memory Alpha strives for, and may also constitute original research. Articles should be written in an encyclopedic format.

 {{edithint-canon}}

[edit] Non-canon information in articles

Please note that Memory Alpha articles only include canon information. If you are interested in contributing information from non-canon licensed Star Trek works (such as from games, novels and comics) you may want to check out Memory Beta. Thanks!

 {{edithint-formatting}}

[edit] Formatting

You may want to read how to edit for more information on formatting this wiki.

 {{edithint-nitpick}}

[edit] Nitpicking

Please note that nitpicking is not allowed on Memory Alpha. There are many production errors with Star Trek and many possible explanations; we can't list them all.

 {{edithint-personal images}}

[edit] Personal images

Please note that Memory Alpha does not allow personal images. Your image has been deleted. If you would like a personal image on your User page you may "hotlink" it. However there are only a few sources that Wikia allows you to hotlink from.

 {{edithint-preview}}

[edit] Multiple Edits

Please make use of the Preview button when making edits. This allows you to see what your edit looks like before you save it, which reduces the load on the database and makes the Recent Changes page easier to read. Thanks.

 {{edithint-sign}}

[edit] Signature

Please sign your talk page comments using ~~~~ or click the signature button above. This helps us keep track of who said what.

 {{edithint-tense}}

[edit] Tense

Please note that we use the past tense within in-universe articles. Because Star Trek stories take place in many different eras, it is important to write all articles from a single perspective: that of someone looking back at the past. This helps to keep Memory Alpha consistent and understandable.

 {{edithint-test}}

[edit] Test

Thanks for experimenting with Memory Alpha. Your test worked, and has now been removed. If you wish to test your Wiki editing skills further, please use the sandbox, as tests made in the article space will be removed quickly. Please see the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing here. Thanks.

 {{edithint-vandalism}}

[edit] Vandalism

Please do not vandalize articles. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing for a period of time. Repeated vandalism will result in longer blocks.
