Editing Encyclopedia Galactica:Main Page (section)

==Conventions==

# Entries in the Menagerie follow a heirarchy: solar system -> planet -> lifeform -> societal.  If a page is created for a society, it should contain at least cursory information about the solar system, planet, and the sentient lifeform that the society refers to, with links to any appropriate, existing entries.  For example, an entry describing the cultural practices of the Yanomami Indians of South America would include at least pointers to the page for the Solar System, Earth, and humans.
# References to unfamiliar scientific terminology should include a link to the appropriate entry in [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], or some other disambiguation page.
# As the project evolves, "stat blocks" using the Wiki definition tag will be created for each of the four types of entries, and these should be included in each entry just after the title and an introductory paragraph.
# Finally, the naming convention for any page associated with the project should contain "Encyclopedia_Galatica:" before the name of the entry, and should follow Wiki conventions (i.e. capitalizing each word in the title, underscores instead of spaces.)
