			Taskforces

The Species Development Committee was responsible for building the Intelligent Lifeform Index, a complete listing of all species mentioned or shown in the television show or movies, and ensuring that the page for each species contained all the available canon information. Having completed its original mandate, this task force is now retired and inactive.

SDC Mandate

The SDC was dedicated to the overall improvement of every species entry on our own SB118 wiki, with the following goals:

To provide our players with the best resource available when picking a species to play or use in a sim.
That all new species created by this community can be preserved for future use.
That new ideas and concepts created during a simming adventure are saved and preserved for future use on the correct species wiki page.

Want to help?

While the SDC is no longer active, anyone interested in updating and maintaining species wiki pages on the Intelligent Lifeform Index -- or any other wiki pages -- are invited to consider joining the 118Wiki:Operations team.

+The '''Species Development Committee''' was responsible for building the [[Intelligent Lifeform Index]], a complete listing of all species mentioned or shown in the television show or movies, and ensuring that the page for each species contained all the available canon information. Having completed its original mandate, this task force is now retired and inactive.
-Welcome to the home of the '''Species Development Committee''', also known as the SDC.
-{{LCARS Section Heading|What does the SDC do?|#6699cc}}
-We are responsible for the creation of new species and their wiki pages as well as updating all of the old species wiki pages.
 {{LCARS Section Heading|SDC Mandate|#6699cc}}
-The '''SDC''' is dedicated to the over all improvement and development of every species entry on our own SB118 wiki. This is for a few reasons.
+The '''SDC''' was dedicated to the overall improvement of every species entry on our own SB118 wiki, with the following goals:
-* First so as to provide our players with the best resource available when picking a species to play or use in a sim.
+* To provide our players with the best resource available when picking a species to play or use in a sim.

+* That new ideas and concepts created during a simming adventure are saved and preserved for future use on the correct species wiki page.
-In this way we hope that with time our species will grow and develop into complex and fully realized races with histories, customs, backgrounds in such a way as to make them individuals like the more recognized and established races we all know and love such as Klingons, Cardassians, Vulcans, Romulans, Andorians and Bajorans just to name a few.
-{{LCARS Section Heading|Updating old species wiki pages|#6699cc}}
-Currently the '''SDC''' is busy rewriting most of the species entries on the [[Intelligent Lifeform Index]].
-In order to update the old pages we transfer all of the info over onto a universal template that we use for each and every species. This makes it easier for people to find specific information regarding multiple different species faster and easier. We then do a rewrite to better fit the info into each section, doing a search for any new info that may need to be added.
-Once the page has been completed it is then submitted to the team (SDC) for review. This review is a process where every active member of the SDC takes a look at the page looking for spelling mistakes, grammar errors and logic mistakes. Then they can make any comments or suggestions they feel need to be brought to the attention of the rest of the team. (SDC)
-If the wiki page does not require any tweaking, modification or rewrites the members then vote, having their vote recorded. At this time if the vote is a yes the "Under Construction" banner is removed and the date that the page was passed, basically considered finished and available for use by all members of the Starbase 118 universe is recorded.
