Contributions
Hey, well first of all, thanks for all the contributions - we really need work on the "little things" that people don't usually notice. I was originally trying to rid Foods and beverages of red links, but I gave up. Anyway, when creating new pages, try to categorize them whenever possible using categories from Special:Categories. It's not always possible, since not everything has a category, but it helps to try. (For example: - if you put that somewhere in the article, the tag is hidden but the article gets categorized.) Thanks again! --Vedek Dukat Talk 00:50, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar
Noticed your work on all the medical pages, so I figured since MA doesn't have barnsters, I might as well make one up. ;) It's a multi-pun too since that pic comes from . --Broik 23:51, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Where are you getting you info from? Obviously, a website or sourcebook (I assume not just copying word for word), but I'm curious now. --Broik 03:34, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Drugs and treatments
Do you think there's any way to categorize that page the way Medical equipment, foods and beverages, etc. are? I think it might be impossible since the stuff isn't real and in a lot of cases it was just technobabble, but maybe something based on common characteristics, or even which civilizations used them? --Vedek Dukat Talk 16:50, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)

User page
I've posted this message on a couple people's talk pages where the same thing happened, it's not a template yet but it might as well be one:

So you don't wonder what happened, Memory Alpha policy is that, once a user's name appears on Special:Wantedpages (which is compiled automatically from red [broken] links), an admin may create the user's page as a redirect to the user's talk page. Your name only appeared on the list because you signed multiple talk pages without having a user page, and it's nothing to worry about - just one of those technical issues. Anyway, your user page is now a redirect to your talk page; if you want to put some content there, click here to edit your user page. This isn't required however so feel free to leave it as a redirect if you'd like.

That's a lot of text for such a simple matter, sorry. :P If you were fond of having your name appear in red, no worries. See the instructions on Zsingaya's page to find out how you can make your signature red, green, purple, or whatever you prefer. It's also helpful if you want to customize your signature further. Feel free to ask on my talk page if you have any questions.

BTW check your mail. --Vedek Dukat Talk 00:02, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
