Stargate Wiki:About

Summary Semantic Stargate Wiki is a "living" dictionary and episode guide to the Stargate television series, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe, the movie which originated the franchise, the Direct-to-DVD movies, and all official merchandise from the franchise (games, books, DVD...). It is a "living" website, because it can be changed and amended by users. You can add pictures, information, and external links to websites in support of information contained within Semantic Stargate Wiki. Most of all, Semantic Stargate Wiki is a semantic wiki, certainly the first one related to the Stargate universe. Semantic data can be used everywhere in the wiki to make comparison, data grouping and much, much more. To have an idea about the usefulness of semantic data, see the Semantic MediaWiki site, which developped the software used here. For an idea of what the Semantic Stargate Wiki can be with YOUR help, visit the Wikipedia and the Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 for ideas and inspiration.

Getting started In order to be able to contribute on Semantic Stargate Wiki, you just have to edit pages or register at the "Log in / create account" link in the upper right corner and enter a user name that will be used at all of your contributions. Present day We presently cover all aspects of the Stargate series and movies. You'll find — and can add — information on such items as terminology seen, events that occurred, and characters introduced & developed. We will also furnish a complete and thorough episode guide, a la Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5, to analyze and dissect the episodes from this series. Unlike the Lurker's Guide, contributions are immediate and can be edited without the tedious process of emailing corrections and awaiting the webmaster for an update. Stargate Wiki is hosted on ShoutWiki servers.
