Have an article to request? Post it here!

If you're not sure what the article should be named, just enter a brief description of the proposed page, link to a related article for ideas, and/or look at the naming conventions.

To be informed when the requested article is created, you can go into its future page and just add it to your watchlist.

See Special:WantedPages for a list of the most-linked-to but nonexistent articles; see Category:Memory Alpha stubs for our most "stubby" articles; see Category:Memory Alpha pages needing attention for pages that, while not quite stubs, still need some work; see Special:ShortPages for a list of pages sorted by page size.

Some special pages exist for lists that have been turned into categories. These pages contain requests for unwritten articles about various subjects. Feel free to add appropriate requests there as well.

Requesting here in the hopes that the subsequent article will be well-written without containing the entire synopsis of "The Magnificent Ferengi", while still being descriptive. -LauraCC (talk) 14:53, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Other

Given the multiplicity of realities reflected in LD Season 5, this might be a good page to have, if we can name what's fundamentally different about identifiable alternate timelines/realities that don't have given names. -LauraCC (talk) 22:58, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I think most are unnamed. IMO, we need to rework how we handle timelines. ‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 13:14, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

How specifically? -LauraCC (talk) 15:04, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

IMO, if we were to name them, we should name them as Incursions like PRO: did. So, Cause and Effect would be the Bozeman incursion, Parallels would be something like Curie incursion, Kelvin would be the Narada incursion (as it was named this in PRO, and not Alternate reality it currently is). Yesterday's Enterprise would be the Enterprise-C incursion. Whatever was the cause for the split should be the cause of the incursion if possible. Time Squared might be the El-Baz incursion??? See Talk:Parallel_universe#Split articles (though some of this is a suggestion at the time and might be better to talk it out) as some examples of problems I see with some articles (though I sorta corrected Kim and O'Brien's pages to make deaths more prominent and that their duplicates now are the primary individual. I am open to suggestions but IMO, all alternate reality things should be lumped into alternate reality pages themselves like Mirror pages, but self containing all alternate reality instances within one page. This would remove A LOT of the templates on pages for {Multiple realities}. So all Harry Kim alternate realities items fall into Harry Kim (alternate realities) etc.

So USS Cerritos could contain the main stuff of USS Cerritos and reference the details of USS Cerritos alternate realities and the bulk of the Freedom-class and all its alternative's information would be on the USS Cerritos (alternate realities) page to clean up the main page. ‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 15:37, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Production

Question - would it be better to simply have a single page that listed all the major world events that have affected the filming/production of Star Trek projects (what would you call it?), or create individual event pages for specific notable events? -LauraCC (talk)

Something like "Current events' influence on Star Trek productions"? An example would be if a hurricane damaged a film set and pushed back production dates. If "Star Trek hypothetically made an episode based on the thalidomide fallout, that would be inspiration for the story, rather than a general setback, and wouldn't qualify. -LauraCC (talk) 17:53, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

COVID-19 pandemic

Since the pandemic affected the filming of more than one Trek show (Picard, Discovery, Strange New Worlds) - things such as schedules, travel, masking, etc, (and, IIRC, the release date of some of the books), perhaps a real world article covering its impact on productions and publications might be in order. It could later be turned into the background info section of an in-universe article if COVID is ever mentioned in an episode/film. -LauraCC (talk) 03:35, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Leaving this here in case the page is made (for reference): Somkele Iyamah-Idhalama was initially cast in an earlier role on Star Trek: Discovery, but turned down the part after catching COVID. [1] -LauraCC (talk) 17:11, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

This ought to be linked there, too: Viruses & Pandemics in Trek, Part 1 (podcast) -LauraCC (talk) 04:56, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

A note @ Star Trek Magazine mentions the delay in publishing some issues due to the pandemic. -LauraCC (talk) 16:23, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

From @ Star Trek: Section 31: However, production was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2020, producer Alex Kurtzman said that writing for the Section 31 series had continued during the pandemic, with its writers' room meeting over Zoom. [2] -LauraCC (talk) 17:18, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Re: DIS: [3] (It didn't help Covid was difficult at a logistical level. We shifted over from working in offices to working from home, and that was very different because we used to walk into other people's offices and say, "Hey, what do you think about this? What kind of music do you think? Do you have any good sound effects for this?" We're using Slack and had to invent a whole process...) -LauraCC (talk) 23:36, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

SAG-AFTRA and WGA

To cover Star Trek-related strike detail in more depth. -LauraCC (talk) 02:27, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

I know we have a page called 8 September, but that's a "this day in history (by year)" list page, not an article. Giving "Star Trek Day" its own page would allow for a discussion of its origins (first Trek episode aired in US on Sept. 8, when the day was first called "Star Trek Day", what official productions/events are announced or take place on that day for any given year, etc.) -LauraCC (talk) 16:29, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Linking details of this year's ST Day here: [4] -LauraCC (talk) 17:27, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Also the events/books marking significant anniversaries (50th in 2016, etc) -LauraCC (talk) 00:01, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Is there any value to individual instrumental soundtrack songs (like the Kirk fight song, whatever it's called) having their own pages? Some of them are iconic and get re-used/sampled elsewhere. -LauraCC (talk) 16:56, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Or perhaps a catch-all Trek instrumental music information page? -LauraCC (talk) 15:03, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Although I know these ratings are listed on each episode/series's individual pages, offhand, I can't find one page that lists all of Trek's (high) appearances on ratings lists in one place, sorted by series/ratings company. Do we have one? If not, I think it might be a good page to have. -LauraCC (talk) 18:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

So, for instance:

==Playstation== ===Playstation=== * Title * Title ===Playstation 2=== * Title * Title 

etc -LauraCC (talk) 14:56, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Could be useful, though I'm not 100% sold on the idea. 🖖 Mr. Starfleet Command ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:01, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Hmmm, now I'm wondering if we ought to have these be categories: Category:Playstation video games, Category:Xbox video games, PC video games, etc, instead. If you like that idea better, we can move this discussion over to MA:CS. -LauraCC (talk) 15:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Incidentally, how come the the various editions of movie releases (video tape, blu-ray, DVD, etc) are listed separately, but video games are only a single page? (e.g. Star Trek (film) has Star Trek (Blu-ray) and Star Trek (DVD), but Star Trek (video game) does not have "Star Trek (X-Box video game)" and "Star Trek (Playstation video game)"?) Are there usually fewer differences between video game platform releases and various film medium releases? -LauraCC (talk) 18:00, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

If these did become categories, could it be done quickly in the same way as the comics were split by company? -LauraCC (talk) 20:22, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Not sure if we have this already, but a page that lists all the recognizable props by name and manufacturer, as well as usages and in what context; those that are product placement, and those that are rentals standing in for other things (i.e. futuristic looking stuff like the chair Worf had, animated in the image on the right). -LauraCC (talk) 00:50, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

I think ex-astris-scientia.org does a well enough job and more than likely everything he has done to research it would get copy and pasted here. I am not a fan of stealing someone else's research and taking potential clicks to his site. Who's going to care enough to update it is another thing. ‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 21:47, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

That's fair. There are different ways of presenting the information, I suppose - a lot of what we have cites other sources anyway. -LauraCC (talk) 21:52, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

PRO: "Lost and Found" has a link to "slow motion"; this is also called "speed ramping". Should it have its own page, or a general page about filming techniques (slow motion, fast forward, etc) -LauraCC (talk) 16:11, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

For all the red-linked names on podcast pages that are not episode/film performers,TV/film crew, authors of Star Trek books listed on MA, etc. i.e. those whose only/primary connections to Trek are as a podcast guest. -LauraCC (talk) 03:26, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

A counterpart to Cast members who directed. -LauraCC (talk) 15:02, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

For cast members who did other things besides act or direct (like if they designed a costume or made a sound effect). -LauraCC (talk) 16:29, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
