From the Memory Alpha Information Directorate, a side project of Memory Alpha.

Welcome to Memory Alpha Information Directorate, a side project of Memory Alpha! This wiki is written from the point of view of an Alliance citizen, so I hope you will take that into consideration as you navigate your way around here.

I've noticed that you've already started making some contributions to our database – thank you! Might I suggest that you consider registering an account with us? Creating an account is quick, easy and free, and doesn't require you to give us any personal information at all. But there are a number of benefits to logging in, including the following:

• The use of a specific username that helps other members recognize your own contributions
• The ability to view all of your contributions via a 'My contributions:' link
• Your own user page and talk page
• The ability to create a watchlist that lets you add articles that interest you
• The ability to rename a page
• The ability to upload images and other media
• The ability to create a custom user style to modify the appearance of this site
• The right to contribute in formal decisions in the community.

Before signing up, however, you may wish to view some of our policies and guidelines, which provide links to inform you on what is appropriate for Memory Alpha and what is not. At MA:ID, we follow the policy's of the English-language version of MA. Particular items of note are the canon policy, the editing guidelines, copyrights, and guidelines for proper etiquette.

If you're concerned about privacy, you should know that you're not required to provide any personal information at all – not even an e-mail address! We've tried to make signing up as quick and as painless as possible. I hope you'll consider creating an account!

This is the discussion page for an anonymous user who has not created an account yet, or who does not use it.

We therefore have to use the numerical IP address to identify him/her. Such an IP address can be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user and feel that irrelevant comments have been directed at you, please create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users.
