=== What are the rules for this site? ===
In general, the same rules that apply to most Wikimedia sites apply here too. However, we do have a few specific credos that we want to follow around here.
* '''No detail is too small.''' It's the belief of this webmaster that all minutiae of the Treks deserves a spotlight. Whether you have details on it or not, it's important that we catalog as much as we can, before we lose those valuable details to time. Submit as much as you can, and we'll worry about editing it down later.
* '''Here, all Treks are respected.''' While you may disagree with the production of new Treks, or their writing, or their philosophies, the point of this site is not to lay waste to those shows, but to instead enlighten us of all the details of the production. This forum is a neutral ground for Trekkers and Trekkies alike, and it's important to remember that blindly posting your hate for a show others like does nothing but attack those who enjoy and work on the shows. '''Remember the [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/IDIC IDIC]!'''
* '''Cite everything.''' The details we gather here are procured from potentially thousands of sources, some directly from the production. To respect the original creators and posters, we must always respect credit where possible. Never remove credit from an image, and when posting an image from another user, always link back to it. Provenance isn't just useful in determining validity, it's also desperately important when respecting the original posters and creators of this information. Your citations are the best defense against an angry DMCA down the line!
* '''No clutter.''' We want tons of details, and we want lots of information. But it's important to coagulate sources and information if it's deemed that two articles are too similar. Combine articles and reduce clutter, but make sure that we always re-direct as many variants as we can, so it's easier to find what you're looking for.
* '''Standardize.''' Follow the layouts set up previously by other users. We're still finding our footing here, but follow our lead and you should be fine!
 
=== What qualifies a prop for it's own page? ===
This is more a question of philosophy, but the way I see it, props that are unique and have a long story, such as combadges, deserve their own individual pages for each variant, as each variant has a story to be told. However, something of a background piece, like the many desktop computer/viewers in the TNG era, or the constant variations on isolinear chips, may only deserve one page with an exhaustive list of each variant and detailed photos/production details. It's okay to have multiple "subjects" per page, but the main idea is to have infinite search terms, but a limited number of pages, except where necessary to tell the whole story of a prop.
 
I think it's fair to say a lot of these props can be combined. Just use your better judgement, and make sure to set up re-directs where possible.
