	'''{{SITENAME}}''' is a ~~"living"~~ ~~dictionary~~ and episode guide to the ''[[Stargate franchise\|Stargate]]'' television series, ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'', ''[[Stargate Universe]]'', the [[Stargate (film)\|~~movie~~]] ~~which originated the franchise~~, the ~~Direct~~-to-DVD ~~movies~~, and ~~all~~ ~~official~~ ~~merchandise~~ ~~from~~ ~~the~~ ~~franchise~~ ~~(games~~, ~~books~~, ~~DVD...).~~ It ~~is a "living" website~~, ~~because~~ ~~it can be changed and amended by users. You can add pictures~~, ~~information~~, and ~~external~~ ~~links to websites in support of information contained within {{SITENAME}}~~.		'''{{SITENAME}}''' is a collaborative encyclopedia and episode guide dedicated to the ''[[Stargate franchise\|Stargate]]'' franchise. Its coverage includes the television series ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'', and ''[[Stargate Universe]]'', the original film ''[[Stargate (film)\|Stargate]]'', the direct-to-DVD films, and a wide range of officially licensed media, including novels, comics, video games, reference books, DVDs, and other merchandise.

			As a community-driven wiki, {{SITENAME}} is constantly evolving. Registered users can contribute by expanding articles, uploading images, adding references, and improving content throughout the site. Every contribution helps enhance the quality and completeness of the encyclopedia.
	Most of all, {{SITENAME}} is a semantic wiki, certainly the first one related to the ''Stargate'' universe. Semantic data can be used everywhere in the wiki to make comparison, data grouping and much, much more. To have an idea about the usefulness of semantic data, see [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/ the Semantic MediaWiki site], which developed the software used here.

			What distinguishes {{SITENAME}} from many other franchise wikis is its use of semantic technology. Built on Semantic MediaWiki, it is the first wiki dedicated to the ''Stargate'' universe to integrate structured semantic data. This allows information to be organized, queried, compared, and automatically grouped across the entire site, providing readers and contributors with powerful navigation and research tools.
⚫	~~For~~ an ~~idea~~ of ~~what~~ ~~the~~ ~~{{SITENAME}}~~ can be ~~with~~ ~~YOUR~~ ~~help,~~ ~~visit~~ ~~the~~ {{w\|Wikipedia}} and the [http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html Lurker's Guide to ''Babylon 5''] ~~for~~ ~~ideas~~ ~~and~~ ~~inspiration.~~

			For more information about the technology behind this wiki, visit the [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/ Semantic MediaWiki] project, which develops and maintains the software used by {{SITENAME}}.

		⚫	To see what a community-built knowledge base can achieve, you may also wish to explore {{w\|Wikipedia}} and the [http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html Lurker's Guide to ''Babylon 5''], both of which serve as excellent examples of large-scale collaborative reference projects.

			With your help, {{SITENAME}} can continue to grow into the most comprehensive resource available for the ''Stargate'' franchise.
