Hi Star Army!

I want to take a moment to recognize our first-ever repeat Spotlight Player, @Charaa, for her reliable presence and participation, and unwavering positivity. She always reads and reacts to others' posts, and encourages everyone to have the most fun they can. She is never afraid to ask questions, and knows how to take constructive criticism, always rising to the challenge of making corrections. Charaa's characters are great to read posts from and fun to have in the RP...

Hi Star Army!

I want to take a moment to recognize one of our newest members, @Dana, for setting a great example of how to join and be involved in the community. Dana is friendly, fun, and positive, and has a great sense of humor. He is already bringing a ton of great roleplaying and stories into the RP. He is an active member of the Star Army Discord. He asks questions when he needs to know something. He doesn't start an drama. It's been a real pleasure. Even though Dana just joined...

 

If you missed the last meeting, you might not have heard about the structure data that's being added to wiki pages. What is that, you ask? Well, basically it's tagging pages with nuggets of data (like for example tagging character pages with ranks or occupation or species). If namespaces or pages are added to a schema (think of a little database) under the main edit field you'll see some extra boxes.
