+====== Star Army Wiki ======
-This wiki is the Star Army® community's encyclopedia, index, and concordance for our unique, ever-growing shared fictional universe and it is our guidebook for participating in and contributing to the Star Army Roleplay (SARP). It contains over 11,100 pages and 8,600 media files. Imagine how many printed RPG sourcebooks that would fill!
+Welcome to Star Army! Star Army® is a creative community of role-players, writers, and sci-fi fans that have been world-building our own unique setting since 2002. This wiki is our encyclopedia of the universe we've made over the years. It provides a common source of truth and [[guide:canon|canon]] for the various games set in the shared fictional universe. It's also the guidebook for participating in and contributing to the Star Army Roleplay (SARP).
-In general, everything that happens in the Star Army RP is canon, so please add information about any events that occur and characters who appear, so that we can keep the universe internally consistent. Your creative contributions are also encouraged. You can expand the edges and fill in the gaps of the setting. Also feel free to fix any typos you find and update outdated pages. Be bold!
-**Important:** Please note the wiki's login is separate from the forum's login system.
