Your request on several admin talk pages
Edit
As has already been suggested - in case of "official requests", it would be best to not contact individual admins, but create a forum entry on Ten Forward. That said, the whole issue of interwiki "treaties" and becoming "official friends" sounds awkward to me, so will need some explaining. -- Cid Highwind 10:09, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
- I've recently been thinking it may be a good idea to have a Star Wars page on MA, just as we have pages for the likes of Mission: Impossible and Babylon 5, etc. In researching some of the Star Trek films, I've encountered quite a few references to Star Wars, such as the fact that Paramount's decision to cancel Star Trek: Phase II and go make Star Trek: The Motion Picture instead was influenced by the hype generated by Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. An alternative suggestion to the one(s) Anakin Skyobliviator has been making would be to include an external link to his wiki (as well as another to wookiepedia) on such a page. --Defiant 10:39, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
- I've got to say that while I'd be willing to hear them out in TF, I'm skeptical of this idea. It sounds like just original research(even if done with only "facts" and not fan stuff) and opinions as to what Trek stuff would outdo Star Wars stuff or vice versa. An interesting idea for a wiki, but that doesn't mean we need to be involved. I too would need "official friends" and etc. explained.--31dot 10:47, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
- I'm also very skeptical of this, since the "vs." is right in the title. I'm also unclear on what is actually being suggested as far as treaties and friends gos.
- @ Defiant, you should bring up a page for Star Wars here if you're thinking about that, though the entry would need to be expanded beforehand based on the informal criteria. - Archduk3 11:25, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

- Thanks for that suggestion, Archduk; I was already aware of the process and would follow it, if I thought my proposal would be taken seriously. I do wish to oppose Anakin's suggestion, as I'm not a big fan of the "vs." in the title; both franchises can be enjoyed in moderation, and it's usually only fans and journalists that want to disagree/pit them against each other. --Defiant 11:40, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
