Category question
Hey Mike! I'm trying to sort some of the categories into more manageable pieces and when I ws looking at Category:Federation it looked like we could use a Category:Federation conflicts to mirror the Category:Earth conflicts one. As I got into it, II was thinking, at the very least, we need categories for the Romulans, Klingons, and Borg. Now, the Federation one was pretty straight forward, but for the others do you think I should use Category:Klingon conflicts or Category:Klingon Empire conflicts? (And similarly for the Romulans). Since you're the main active admin, i thought I'd see what you thought? Thanks!--Long Live the United Earth (talk) 03:19, February 6, 2017 (UTC)


 * I think the simpler names would probably be best - in that way we could include conflicts from various iterations of the Romulan and Klingon governments acroos the various universes -- Captain MKB 10:46, February 6, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the help and suggestions! Let's see if I improve with my edits later this week. --Meacott (talk) 12:53, February 8, 2017 (UTC)

Infobox format

 * Starship classes of the Federation Starfleet infobox
 * NX (Columbia • Poseidon
 * After Poseidon, there needs to be an “)”.

I can take a look at it next time i get to my desktop but honestly you could just edit the template file yourself --Captain MKB 06:43, February 11, 2017 (UTC)

Rank symbols
Hey Mike, since you're the expert on ranks and rank images, I was curious if you could help out. How can we source/is there a way to source/do these images need user approval the following 4 images?

I'm trying to finish the clean-up and this is one of the outstanding issues. Also, I posted the rest of my questions/some discussion topics we partially brought up here: Forum:Image questions. Thanks! --Long Live the United Earth (talk) 04:10, February 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * The first one goes with my author credit i think, and the last three go to kuro.


 * i'm not sure they are all valid however - it wouldnt take a validity discussion/consensus, but just a citation of when those ranks were used. theyre certainly not from canon, but there could be a non-canon source- -Captain MKB 13:30, February 14, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Lisa Cochrane deletion discussion
Do you think the content should be moved to the Zefram Cochrane page or do you think the page should be renamed to "Zefram Cochrane's mother"?--NetSpiker (talk) 11:52, February 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * I wouldnt move it to the page of another character - but yes, the content is not appropriate for deletion. Apparently those sources describe her as an individual character, so we would need to verify how each referred to her and make an unnamed character page accordingly, either grouped with other unnamed members of his family, species or allegiance or under an unnamed protocol like that, yes -- Captain MKB 12:03, February 17, 2017 (UTC)
