Happy 12th Birthday CIC! <br><br>
 
The Summer Campaign draws to a close but the Fall is already being planned out. WCPedia saw a huge bubble this summer in work being accomplished. We've seen WC1, SM1 and SM1.5 mission entries completed with basic data. We've started to go back through WC1 missions and add alternate text. Dozens of other articles have been added along with thousands of edits to existing articles to more fully flesh them out.  
WCPedia is always looking for more contributors. Getting started can seem daunting, especially if you are new to wiki. The first place for any user to begin is the [[WCPedia Rules]]. Here you will find guidelines to follow when creating and adding content. The [[Help:Contents|Help Section]] has information on article creation and layouts, organization, writing tips, as well as selected walkthroughs for adding content.
 
If you are unsure how you can help but want to, just ask! We've got lots of jobs that we need help with to create the ultimate Wing Commander resource!

Welcome to the new WCPedia Main Page. From this page you can directly access many of the most important areas of the project. The Resources column provides direct links to game and other product landing pages. Product landing pages contain an extensive catalogue of information about a specific product. They are one stop shops for information about each Wing Commander product.  
<br><br>
<br><br>
The goal for WCPedia in the next year is to double the size of the project. My personal goal is reach Wing Commander III in the missions section. We still need users to fill out other areas of the encyclopedia. If you want to help, we've got something for you to do. No matter your skill level you can help this project to its final goal.<br>
The second column contains the "Terran Knowledge Bank" where articles on every aspect of the Wing Commander universe can be found. Ships to weapons, the timeline to specific events, bases to planets, all can be found in the knowledge bank. It is the master repository for all things Wing Commander. Articles in the Terran Knowledge Bank are written in the style of a 29th century researcher working at the research colony on [[McAuliffe VI]].

Welcome to the new WCPedia Main Page. From this page you can directly access many of the most important areas of the project. The Resources column provides direct links to game and other product landing pages. Product landing pages contain an extensive catalogue of information about a specific product. They are one stop shops for information about each Wing Commander product.

The second column contains the "Terran Knowledge Bank" where articles on every aspect of the Wing Commander universe can be found. Ships to weapons, the timeline to specific events, bases to planets, all can be found in the knowledge bank. It is the master repository for all things Wing Commander. Articles in the Terran Knowledge Bank are written in the style of a 29th century researcher working at the research colony on McAuliffe VI.

Featured media

Wing Commander: Armada Landing Page

The life of a seasoned starfighter pilot isn't all glory and adventure. After years of following orders and losing ships and friends, you are now the sole commander, responsible for heading up a momentous strike against your enemy's homeland - either the Empire of Kilrah or the heart of the Confederation. This war requires real strategy, not just hotshot piloting, and you have to determine where to fight, how to fight, and what ships will get the job done. In Wing Commander Armada, you have the freedom to build your own universe, your own missions and your own campaign.
