<big>Hail, traveller,</big> and welcome to '''The Codex of Ultima Wisdom''', an encyclopedia that deals with the ''Ultima'' series of computer role-playing games by Origin Systems, Inc. and Electronic Arts. The encyclopedia has grown to cover all parts of the series, as well as ''Ultima Online''.


The Codex is open to everyone, so anyone can create or edit a page. So far we have created '''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}''' articles. For the basics on editing, you can refer to the [[Help:Contents|Help section]].


'''WCPedia''' is an experimental project of the [http://www.wcnews.com Wing Commander Community]. <br>Our goal is creation of '''The Wing Commander Encyclopedia''' by the outbreak of the [[Terran-Kilrathi War]]. <br>Currently '''WCPedia''' has about [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles.<br> Look around and feel free to contribute to this great project.  
Be sure to visit our [[Forum:Index|forums]] too, to discuss various aspects of the games and this wiki itself.

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.
 
<br><br>
{{col-begin}}
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>

Hi Bandit. How you doing, man? Hey, curious question I wanted to ask. I was watching a few eps of Wing Commander Academy, and should it be considered a canonical source of Wing Commander info? I'm not writing articles at this very moment, but I felt compelled to verify if the show was a legit source of info. -Aeronautico
