Forum:Memory Delta

I am a passable 2nd generation fan of star trek, and i like that Memory Alpha is such a welcome resource for people who want to now more about it but a problem has emerged with the Abrams verse, information for the movies and the various tie in properties are split between this site and Alpha's sister site Memory Beta, I propose for the movies and their tie in media which has been shown to be cannon within the film's universe.--FossilLord 00:09, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * This has been discussed to death; Memory Beta deals with all licensed products for in-universe content; Memory Alpha deals in filmed Star Trek for in-universe content only, not games or novels. FYI, it's "canon" not "cannon". 31dot (talk) 00:22, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Yes that is wonderful but I am suggesting putting everything into a single wiki or ease of use and perusal. Like the recent movies refrence to taking a shuttle from mudd, unless people read count down to darkness they would not know they were not talking about Harcourt Mudd but are actually talking about. this is a reason for sucha wiki needing to be created.--FossilLord 20:46, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * There is no reason information from the novelization cannot be in the Apocrypha section, or even in an article about the novelization itself. There are many reasons the wikis are separate, all of them quite good.


 * You are certainly free to create a wiki where you have whatever criteria for including information you want- you would just have to start from scratch and not copy information from elsewhere(like here). Again, Memory Beta does deal in all licensed products as well as filmed Star Trek for its in-universe information. There isn't any need for a formal merge; we provide links there for those who are interested. 31dot (talk) 20:56, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

The problem as i am trying to point out is that information is getting lost as i have already pointed out. Surly we can do something about this, Forming a entirely new wiki is I acknowledge something of an extreme option but I do not know what else to do here.--FossilLord 21:47, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * If you feel information is getting lost in MA, it is up to you to add it or point it out- as long as doing so is done in the correct manner. Information revealed only in novels or a novelization needs to be part of the Apocrypha section.


 * If you want to create a wiki, you don't need anyone's permission to do so. As I said, though, you can't just copy content from elsewhere. I'm also not really sure how what you are suggesting is different from Memory Beta's function and scope. 31dot (talk) 21:53, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * The difference would be that it is solely focused on the Work of Abrams and afflicted media which are all tied together in one continuity.--FossilLord 19:03, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
