The '''[http://www.starbase118.net/academy/library/alien/ILI/ Intelligent Lifeform Index]''' (ILI) is UFOP's central database of Intelligent Aliens which can be used for role playing in our organization. This ILI is still in its infancy, so we need help to refine and complete it. This area of the wiki is used to update and create database entries.  


== Creating Database Entries ==
==Work in Progress...==
If you find that we're missing a species, you are more than welcome to compile an entry to be used in the ILI.
After some long thought, I've come to the decision that the ILI would be best served on the Wiki where everyone could update it and take part in the process. There would need to be some minor 'checks,' to avoid any serious issues, but for the most part I think it will be successful. Here's how it's going to work:


First, be sure that you have all the necessary information. The list below shows the information we need to start an entry:
===Main Listing===
The main listing of species, which will be the "jumping off point," will be a protected page. Only admins will be able to edit that, and even then we'll be able to see if it's been edited by the "Recent Changes" page and keeping it on our watchlist. In that way, we can control the intregrity of the "Playable"/"Restricted"/"Forbidden" categories of each species. The complete listing of species with their indicators is here:  


* Species complete name
<center>[[Intelligent Lifeform Index/Complete List]]</center>
* Relation to the Federation (Member, Allied, Netural, At War, Noncommunicative, Unknown, Other)
* Planet of Origin
* Encounter log
** Here, you would include [[IC]], and [[OOC]] information. IC, you'd give the first time that we saw the species onscreen, and what the situation was. OOC, you'd give the episode name and series (i.e.- [[TOS]], [[TAS]], [[TNG]], [[DS9]], [[VOY]], [[ENT]]).
* Current Tech Level
** For more info, see the [[Planetary Development Scale]]
* Description
** Include any and all information that is pertinent and useful.
* Picture (if you have one).
 
Now that you have this information, you can post it on the Wiki. The first step is to head to the [[ILI:Species being edited]] page to include the name of the species you have information on. (Be sure to, of course, link to the page with that species' information.) Then, save the edit and go to that page. Insert all of the information you have on the species. Now it will be available for others to help you refine and edit that profile. Once it is complete, a staff member will move the information to the official ILI.

The Intelligent Lifeform Index is our RPG's central database of Intelligent Aliens which can be used for role playing in our organization.

Work in Progress...

After some long thought, I've come to the decision that the ILI would be best served on the Wiki where everyone could update it and take part in the process. There would need to be some minor 'checks,' to avoid any serious issues, but for the most part I think it will be successful. Here's how it's going to work:

Main Listing

The main listing of species, which will be the "jumping off point," will be a protected page. Only admins will be able to edit that, and even then we'll be able to see if it's been edited by the "Recent Changes" page and keeping it on our watchlist. In that way, we can control the intregrity of the "Playable"/"Restricted"/"Forbidden" categories of each species. The complete listing of species with their indicators is here:
