Wikipedia links
Please do not replace red links with Wikipedia links. We want to write our own articles with Star Trek relevance, and in-universe point of view. --OuroborosCobra talk 20:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Fine you go right ahead and write an "in universe" explanation for common more universal terms like organization or government or something as simple as secretary. What is the point of writing an entire article from scratch,when wikipedia has more than enough written on them?

Because Wikipedia does not talk about Star Trek secretaries, does not list episodes where they were seen, does not talk about what a secretary in the 24th century did, etc. That is why we have Memory Alpha. Also, please sign your posts with --~ --OuroborosCobra talk 02:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I beg to differ you,since there are episodes lists and links to Memory alpha for all the star trek series and Movies in Wikipedia,but there is a distinct lack of reciprocal links for things that aren't so contextually specific ,the example I cited for Secretary,was for a High level governmental functionary,but it turned up as a red link,in Memory Alpha. Again I ask,what is the point? Without explaining the allusion to old style Terran government examples,it winds up being a dead end,and a needless redundancy. Wejvagh 03:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Again, we have examples of the government position in Trek, and should be talking bout it from that perspective. If we want to also have a Wikipedia link at the bottom of the article, that is OK. See F-5 Tiger II, for example, which has a Wikipedia link at the bottom, but is still written from an in universe perspective. At some point though, you are just going to have to either accept that this is how we do things here, or raise it as an issue over at Memory Alpha:Ten Forward, and watch as the community disagrees with you. --OuroborosCobra talk 03:45, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * You can add the template to real-world pages if you feel we lack reciprocal links. That will bring about the same treatment Wikipedia gives to us (only making Memory-Alpha links at the bottom of Star Trek-related pages).--Tim Thomason 03:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
