ou créer un texte original.
Avec des gens de partout dans le monde contribuant à des milliers d'articles en même temps, il est inévitable que tous ne soient pas de bonne qualité. Ce n'est pas nécessairement une mauvaise chose, parce que la perfection n'est pas exigée. Ne vous laissez pas arrêter par ces remarques pour écrire un article court et inachevé - d'autres contributeurs collaboreront avec vous et ajouteront leurs propres idées afin d'améliorer l'article.
Cependant, nous tâchons également de construire la meilleure encyclopédie Star Trek et la plus complète - un de nos buts à long terme est de compléter tous les articles inachevés. Cela signifie que, parfois, il est nécessaire de mettre au courant d'autres contributeurs à propos des articles qui sont inachevés, mal formatés ou qui contiennent des assertions incorrectes à propos d'un sujet.
Cette page recense toutes ces tentatives en affichant les outils disponibles pour marquer des articles comme page à (re)travailler aussi bien que des listes d'articles que d'autres contributeurs ont marqués en tant que tels. Vous pouvez employer tous ces outils pour aider à améliorer Memory Alpha.
Pages needing attention
If you think that an article needs attention of some sort and you can't take care of it yourself, your first step should be to inform other contributors about it. Connected to each article is a discussion page - just click on the link "discussion" and edit the page to add a comment. Make sure to give this new section a good title and fill in the edit summary field.
Sometimes, this is all you have to do, especially if there are only minor objections to the article. Many contributors are checking the list of recent changes regularly and will eventually take care of the problem. In all other cases, you can use one of the following message templates. Just make sure to follow these two steps:
- Add a comment on the discussion page, informing other contributors of what you think needs to be changed.
- Add the appropriate message template (for example, {{pna-incomplete}}) at the bottom of the article.
This is really everything you have to do - the article in question will be added to one of the lists automatically, and everyone interested in helping out can just check the discussion page.
Removing articles from the lists
If you have taken care of all the problems with one of the articles listed, you can and should remove it from the list. This is important, because we don't want the articles to pile up on those lists. Removing articles is as easy as adding them:
- Reply to the comment on the discussion page, informing everyone which problems you have taken care of.
- If all problems are solved, remove the message template from the article.
As above, removal from the lists will happen automatically.
Message templates
Each of the following message templates corresponds to one of the automatically generated lists and takes care of one type of problems. If an article needs attention in more than one way, you can either use the generic message template or choose the problem category that you think is more important at the moment
...for general purpose
Use this message template by adding "Modèle:Tl" at the bottom of an article. It corresponds to the list "Memory Alpha pages needing attention".
As explained above, you can use this message for articles that contain more than one problem, for problems that don't have a separate template, or if you are simply unsure which one of the specific templates below would be the correct one. Additionally, you can use this message for articles that are too short even to qualify as a stub, or if you are unsure if an article might need to be deleted.
...for pages missing citations
If an article is simply missing a citation of a valid resource for data within, the more specific tag Modèle:Tl can be used, with a boilerplate to find sources for the data.
...for inaccurate articles
Use this message template by adding "Modèle:Tl" at the bottom of an article. It corresponds to the list "Memory Alpha inaccurate articles".
This message should be used if you think that an article contains erroneous information, for example by including fan-made assumptions or by presenting non-canon information as canon.
...for incomplete articles
Use this message template by adding "Modèle:Tl" at the bottom of an article. It automatically add the article to the list "Memory Alpha incomplete articles".
This message should be used if an article is seriously incomplete, for example, if information of a complete episode is missing. If an article only lacks minor data points, a comment on the discussion page without using this template might suffice. If the article is a stub as defined here, use the template Modèle:Tl instead. In this case, a comment on the discussion page is unnecessary - but keep in mind that stub messages should be removed if an article is no longer a stub!
...for incomplete summaries
This episode summary has been identified as lacking essential detail, and as such needs attention. Feel free to edit this page to assist with this expansion.
- Please obey Modèle:Ma, do not copy material from other sources without permission.
Use this message template by adding "Modèle:Tl" in the summary section of an article. It automatically adds the article to the list "Memory Alpha incomplete articles".
This message should be used if an episode or film summary is seriously incomplete or missing. If a summary only lacks minor data points, a comment on the discussion page without using this template might suffice. If the whole article is a stub as defined here, use the template Modèle:Tl instead. In this case, a comment on the discussion page is unnecessary - but keep in mind that stub messages should be removed if an article is no longer a stub!
...for unformatted articles
Use this message template by adding "Modèle:Tl" at the bottom of an article. It corresponds to the list "Memory Alpha unformatted articles".
This message should be used if an article desperately needs to be formatted, for example because it doesn't adhere to the manual of style. This also includes pages that need to be wikified, which means that links to other articles on this site have to be added. If the bad formatting of an article is really obvious (for example on dead-end pages), a comment on the discussion page may be omitted.
