== Template ==
To make a link to memory alpha from an article (one Star-Trek related), you can use:

<nowiki>{{tl|memoryalpha}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{tl|memoryalpha article}}</nowiki>.

Just thought I'd include that info here for those who might use it ;)  --[[User:ColdFeet|ColdFeet]] 02:53, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

== Self-reference ==
Wikipedia should not contain unnecessary self-references, but I can't find a suitable alternative sentence to replace the reference to [[Wikipedia]].  Maybe it should just be removed, including the [[Wikia]] and [[mediaWiki]] stuff, as the only reason that that is mentioned is that they are common to Wikipedia.  WP Articles on other wikis usually mention the software used, but not the hosting organisation.  [[User:PhilHibbs|<nowiki></nowiki>]] &mdash; [[User:PhilHibbs|PhilHibbs]] | [[User talk:PhilHibbs|talk]] 11:08, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
:I have removed the self-reference. I'm not entirely happy with the paragraph, and I had a better one, but it was too long and dominated the article with what was in effect a self-reference with the serial numbers filed off. I think the paragraph should be deleted rather than improved by expansion. [[User:PhilHibbs|<nowiki></nowiki>]] &mdash; [[User:PhilHibbs|PhilHibbs]] | [[User talk:PhilHibbs|talk]] 14:03, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

== Birthday ==

When was MA actualy started (or is Nov 2004 the most accurate that people can remeber), the Mediawiki installation thinks November 22. --[[User:ElvisThePrince|ElvisThePrince]] 07:13, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

:It was 2003, actually. I lost my e-mail history in early 2004, so I can't really pinpoint the day MA started. 22 November 2003 is apparently the day the MediaWiki installation went online, but a few days before that, MA existed briefly as a [[TikiWiki]] project. Although the latter version never went public. The 22nd of November seems to be the real birthday of the current Memory Alpha. If you're really interested in Memory Alpha history, check out [http://flare.solareclipse.net/cgi2/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/7/1232.html] and [http://flare.solareclipse.net/cgi2/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/7/1271.html]. The first one is me doing some preliminary brainstorming. It's also where I found out that Dan had a similar plan. The second link is the first time Memory Alpha was shown to the 'outside world'. -- [[User:Harry Doddema|Harry]] 17:15, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

== "current issues" ==

The "current issues" section reads like a lot of original research.  Who has identified these as issues?  Wikipedia editors?  That's OR. Someone else?  Needs a cite for its conclusions.[[User:Night Gyr|Night Gyr]] 02:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

:Felt more like big time POV axe grinding to me.  Take a look at the phrase, "excessive use of legalese".  Is there an appropriate amount of the use of legalese that we can all reference and quantify?  I personally have no serious feelings about Memory Alpha's policies one way or another, but I'm pretty sure they don't need to be debated here at WP.  The issues should be stated, the arguments pro and con given, then move on.  The WP article does not and should not be a persuasive one toward a Preferred side.  -- Bill 21:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
:: It's really outdated too. Nitpicks are pretty much the only "current issue" on MA. --[[User:Gvsualan|Gvsualan]] ([[User talk:Gvsualan|talk]]) 19:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

=== Update ===

"Current issues" aren't current, they seem to not even be ongoing issues any more.  If I weren't an inclusionist I'd delete the whole section but at the very least section needs to be updated and rephrased in the correct tense now{{when}} :P that the Star Trek film has been released.  -- [[User:Horkana|Horkana]] ([[User talk:Horkana|talk]]) 03:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:List of largest wikis]]==
The article [[List of largest wikis]] was listed for deletion about a week ago.  It has been moved to the Wikipedia namespace.  I've replaced the wikilink with an external link so that mirrored copies of this article will still link correctly. --[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]] 19:22, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

== Charlotte Observer reference ==

I found a link to the Charlotte Obsever article on their website.  Unfortunately, it looks like the article is no longer available, but it's viewable via the Google cache of it.  Is that inappropriate to document it that way?  Here's the link, let me know and I will add it or not [[http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:LKvcZlOEMu8J:www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/living/13527464.htm+%22ellen+lee%22+wiki+%22memory+alpha%22&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=5&]].  --[[User:Milo H Minderbinder|Milo H Minderbinder]] 13:25, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

what is it? is it an offshoot from alpha? [[Special:Contributions/86.148.5.106|86.148.5.106]] ([[User talk:86.148.5.106|talk]]) 19:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

:its a wiki for licensed Star Trek works. I'm not sure what that means. I just saw that stated at the bottom of [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Tebok | this] article on memory alpha. Also this article [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Memory_Beta] --[[Special:Contributions/88.149.115.203|88.149.115.203]] ([[User talk:88.149.115.203|talk]]) 05:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

::It means it covers Star Trek books, video games, etc., treating them as if they are [[canon (literature)|canon]]. Memory Alpha doesn't; it only covers them as if they were fiction. Memory Beta wasn't originally an offshoot of Memory Alpha, (it was originally a different wiki all together) but it tends to function as one now. Oddly enough, you can't copy things from Memory Alpha to Memory Beta, as they have different copyright licenses.

== Redundancy ==

If Memory Alpha is the one-stop wiki for all things Star Trek, then why have articles with plot summaries of individual Enterprise episodes on Wikipedia? After all, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --[[Special:Contributions/38.100.221.66|38.100.221.66]] ([[User talk:38.100.221.66|talk]]) 11:38, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Memory Alpha in print ==

FWIW, there's a mention of the Memory Alpha website in a [[C't]] article here: http://www.heise.de/kiosk/archiv/ct/2007/9/168_kiosk. You can see a screenshot even in the free online preview.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/84.135.63.6|84.135.63.6]] ([[User talk:84.135.63.6|talk]]) 13:39, 15 December 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Primary sources template ==

Just now I have added several more third-party sources. Would it be fair to remove the {{tl|primary sources}} template? What about the {{tl|notability}} template? These sources are fairly brief but non-trivial; for example, one of them confirms that Memory Alpha was the largest project in [[Wikicities]] in 2005.

:I think that the referencing has changed radically since the introduction of the {{tl|primarysources}} tag, meriting its removal. On the {{tl|notability}} tag; on the one hand, the article survived AfD/DRV, but on the other there was no conensus in those debates as to the notability of the topic. I suggest leaving the latter template up for a few more days to give others a chance to discuss, and remove it if no-one contests the notability in that period.

== External links modified ==

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 2 external links on [[Memory Alpha]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=784434755 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100628174255/http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/help/faqs/faq/676.html to http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/help/faqs/faq/676.html

== Removed ==

I have removed the following paragraph from the start of the page:

{{block indent|The textual content of Memory Alpha is licensed under the [[Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial]] (CC BY-NC) 4.0 license. Because this license does not allow commercial reuse, it is incompatible with the [[GNU Free Documentation License]] (GFDL) and with the [[Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike]] license (CC BY-SA), and material from the site cannot be copied into projects that use the GFDL or CC BY-SA. This distinction makes Memory Alpha incompatible with the main body of [[Fandom (website)|Fandom]] wikis, which are currently licensed under the CC BY-SA license and formerly under the GFDL. Memory Alpha is cited as a source by academic journals, scholarly studies and books as well as ''Star Trek''-universe novels and reference works.}}

Although this paragraph contains many valid citations (which I have removed from the above for simplicity), it largely relies on [[WP:NOR|original research]] to relate itself to Memory Alpha, with no non-primary source given for Memory Alpha's license. Furthermore, I have removed the entire "content policy" section, as the only source it cites that connects the whole thing to Memory Alpha is a primary one. Instead, I have integrated the non-Memory Alpha portions of it into the page on [[Star Trek canon|''Star Trek'' canon]] in my recent overhaul edit of that page.

Please comment below if anyone disagrees with my removals. Thank you. &mdash; [[User:Mr. Starfleet Command|Mr. Starfleet Command]] ([[User talk:Mr. Starfleet Command|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Starfleet Command|contributions]]) 22:41, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

=={{T|Essay-like}} and {{T|Cleanup-PR}}==
This article is currently listed with {{T|Essay-like}} and {{T|Cleanup-PR}}. These tags were added in November 2021. Until mid-August this year, the article remained relatively unchanged leaving these issues unaddressed, but since then I have made a large number of edits to the article rectifying many of its issues. This is why I believe that it may no longer have the issues these tags say it does, namely being "'''written like a [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought|personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay]]''' that states a Wikipedia editor's personal feelings or presents an original argument" and reading "'''like [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#SOAPBOX|a press release]] or [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#NEWS|a news article]]''' and may be '''largely based on [[Wikipedia:Notability (events)#Routine coverage|routine coverage]]'''."

However, I am not an expert in these things. I have read through the article and do not notice any of these things, but this may be partially due to my bias (I edit on Memory Alpha) or the fact that I don't fully understand what these banners mean. So if anyone who is more qualified than me would like to either confirm that I am correct and remove the messages or explain otherwise, I would be grateful. Thanks for reading! [[User:Mr. Starfleet Command|Mr. Starfleet Command]] ([[User talk:Mr. Starfleet Command|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Starfleet Command|contributions]]) 23:38, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

{{Ping|Nightenbelle}} you were the user who originally added the maintenance tags, so maybe you would be able to give the article a read now that I've overhauled it and identify whether or not the tags should be removed? It would be great if you could do that!

:I'm sorry- I see no encyclopedic improvement. It reads as puffery. Something written for publicity, not as an objective article. The style is not encyclopedic at all. The writers have gone for style and pretty over form and substance. Way too many references are written by the creator, or are either paid, fluff, a quick mention in a larger article, or somehow connected with the subject. This article needs serious fixing- or deletion. I would recommend getting an objective set of eyes on it. I wouldn't mind taking a stab at it- but I think you would probably not be happy with how stripped down it would be when I'm done with it. [[User:Nightenbelle|Nightenbelle]] ([[User talk:Nightenbelle|talk]]) 16:43, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
:: I took a stab at quickly copyediting, removing puffery, and removing tidbits that do not contribute to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject. I also removed the old tags- and added a more accurate new one. This is as far as I can go. I don't know enough about the subject, and my focus on this site is elsewhere. But hopefully this creates a more encyclopedic structure to build on. [[User:Nightenbelle|Nightenbelle]] ([[User talk:Nightenbelle|talk]]) 17:12, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
:::Thanks! Your input is very helpful. I'll keep trying to make the article more encyclopedic and find non-primary sources where needed.

:::: You went back and re-added sources that do not support what they are citing- why? Are you trying to make it look like it has more third sources? You say you want help- but then you undo it. I'm not going to get into an edit war with you- but I question your insistence on these sources. Are you connected to this website in some way? [[User:Nightenbelle|Nightenbelle]] ([[User talk:Nightenbelle|talk]]) 17:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
:::::I'm sorry, but I am somewhat confused. Let me attempt to explain what I did and why I did it.
:::::I re-added [https://www.theglobeandmail.com/technology/its-a-wiki-world/article1068574 this article as a citation], thinking that you had removed it accidentally. The last time I had checked it, the content on that web page was free for everyone, but having checked it again, I see that it is now paid content. I have thus added an archive URL allowing visitors to access the intended article. So that citation ''does'' support the text it comes after, namely that "Memory  is wiki encyclopedia for topics related to the ''Star Trek'' fictional universe."
:::::The only other citation I re-added was one to [{{fullurl:MemoryAlpha:Special:Statistics}} Memory Alpha's "statistics" special page]. I accept that this is a citation to a primary source, but it is hardly the only one on the page and you didn't remove any of the others, so I again thought this was a mistake on your part.
:::::And as to your last question: Am I connected with Memory Alpha "in some way"? Yes, I am an editor there, but other than that, no, that is to say, I'm not an admin nor do I have any other special connection with it. I know that my being an editor theoretically is a conflict of interest, but I don't see how this has any bearing on me re-adding two sources that support what is stated on a page.
:::::Does this a satisfactory answer? [[User:Mr. Starfleet Command|Mr. Starfleet Command]] ([[User talk:Mr. Starfleet Command|talk]] &bull; [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Starfleet Command|contributions]]) 20:09, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
::::::Adding that citation seems like falsely enhancing the significance of the subject- like saying its given more media attention than it is- that citation barely mentions Memory Alpha- and any of the existing citations could have the same support. I asked about your connection because you seem motivated to make sure this article is overly-positive. If you have a connection- typically you are supposed to declare that on your personal page and request edits instead of making them yourself- so that uninvolved eyes can help determine if they are biased. I asked because you seem biased. Mainly because you asked for help- and then immediately undid things that lessened the seeming notability of the topic. [[User:Nightenbelle|Nightenbelle]] ([[User talk:Nightenbelle|talk]]) 18:27, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
:::::::OK, I understand where you are coming from. I added that citation simply because it supported a fact that is stated in the article, and I was not intending that citation to enhance the perceived notability of the topic. I may be incorrect, but I do not believe all citations must include major coverage of the article topic. Those sorts of citations are necessary in pages, but passing mentions can be used as citations&mdash;just not used to establish an articles notability. However, I do agree with your point that other citations in the page can provide cite the facts that one does, so I have removed it in favor of reusing another citation that was already on the page.
:::::::As for me trying to make sure that this article is "overly-positive," I cannot see where you are getting that from. All I did was re-add some citations, I did ''not'' undo any of your changes removing unduly positive phrases. On the contrary, I support this article being rewritten from a neutral point of view. And if you do not think that Memory Alpha is a notable enough topic for Wikipedia, feel free to suggest this page for deletion. In that case, I doubt I would even disagree with you and defend the page, as there is a lot of content citing primary sources, particularly early in the history section.
:::::::If you still feel that I am too biased to edit the page, I will refrain from making any major edits. Indeed, I don't plan on editing this page much in the future regardless. However, I think you're overstating how much my bias has come through in my edits. If you are not convinced, you should have a look at how much unsourced and primary-sourced material I have removed from the page over the past few months.

== Logo out of date ==

The logo used on this page is [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Forum:Pride_Month_and_Memory_Alpha out of date].  I tried finding a highres version of the new logo on Memory Alpha but failed.  Maybe someone else can have a go. [[User:Robert Brockway|Robert Brockway]] ([[User talk:Robert Brockway|talk]]) 07:11, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
