- What is a wiki?
- A wiki is a completely open website, generally used to compile information, that anyone interested in the topic can edit. Thus a wiki can serve as a resource for casual fans of a topic, and a community for more hardcore fans. A more concise definition can be found here.
- Can I use text or images from the Infosphere on other Futurama wikis?
- No. Text and original images are copyrighted. Screenshots of the show are owned only by Fox/Curiosity Company/Rough Draft/Matt Groening, so take them at your own risk.
- Can I be a member here while running another Futurama wiki?
- No. We strive to be the biggest and best Futurama Wiki out there, and you won't be helping us or yourself by creating another wiki and spreading the fans even thinner. Then, instead of helping to make one good wiki, you'll be helping to create several low-quality (i.e., crappy) wikis.
- I've found something that doesn't meet your quality standards, who can I tell?
- The best thing to do, if you are able, is to fix any errors yourself. However if you can't, or aren't in the mood, you can hit edit and insert one of the folloing at the top of the article:
- {{Stub}}
- {{Expansion}}
- {{QualityControl}}
- {{TBD}}
- For an image, use one of these on the page you'll find afer clicking the image, filling in a reason:
