Welcome to 118Wiki, a home for the [[UFOP: StarBase 118]] [[RPG]] on the net. This area of our Wiki is used to introduce people to the Wiki and how it works. We assure you, it's quite easy! So, please take the next five to ten minutes to read completely through this page. Everything here is simplified to introduce you to browsing and editing on a Wiki!
Welcome to 118Wiki, a collaborative database for the [[UFOP: StarBase 118]] Star Trek [[RPG]]. The purpose of this Wiki is to give members of our group a place to collaborate and keep history. Wikis are great for online projects because they allow so much easy collaboration. As such, this Wiki is intended to facilitate these projects, but also to give people a place to take part in the history of our group as it happens. You can also build a comprehensive profile for your character, and much more!

A: Blue links lead to pages which have already been created. Red links lead to pages which have not been created. If you click on a red link, it'll take you to an edit box that will allow you to create a page. Purple links are ones you've already visited.

'''Q: Why are so many pages marked in red?'''<br>
A: Wikis are big, involved projects which appear like webs -- almost everything links to everything else. In the effort to create system/help pages for our users, we have copied some pages from Wikipedia. Often, these pages link to other pages which are on Wikipedia, but not yet on the 118Wiki. Please be patient while we add these pages!

==Next, our purpose and goals...==
The purpose of this Wiki is to give members of our group a place to collaborate and keep history. Wikis are great for online projects because they allow so much easy collaboration. As such, this Wiki is intended to facilitate these projects, but also to give people a place to take part in the history of our group as it happens. Information can be added on ships daily to keep a record of what's happened in our group.
Another very central reason for this Wiki is to act as a repository for "Academy Library" type information, such as primers on Treknology. Because these types of articles can always be refined, the Wiki is a great place for them, so that they can constantly grow for the better.
