Talk:Deep Space Nine (fictional space station)

Character List

Can anyone make one of these?--Torourkeus 17:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Something like this? --EEMeltonIV 18:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Layout diagram/schematic

Does anyone have a schematic of the internal layout(If it exists...I'm sure I saw one somewhere a few years ago.)? J.P.Lon 15:34, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Requested move

Most users who search for "Deep Space Nine" are probably looking for the main article on the television series (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). I think the "Deep Space Nine" page should redirect to that article, and the current page should be moved to "Deep Space Nine (space station)". This is similar to the system used for Babylon 5 / Babylon 5 (space station) and Battlestar Galactica / Battlestar Galactica (ship). Jim 06:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

• I added a link at the top of the page, does this work better for you? If you still think a new page would be in order, you should officially request a move so it will be more apparent that there is a proposal for moving. Ejfetters 07:16, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

  As a DS9 fan: I agree with the requested move. The current dablink is OK but the proposed redirect is better. Fayenatic (talk) 11:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

• The dablink certainly helps, but I still think that a move would be better. I'm not sure what you mean by "officially request a move"—I already added the template above and I put the request on Wikipedia:Requested moves. I guess I should also put the request on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Star Trek (done). Jim 16:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
  • See Help:Merging and moving pages - there are templates that you can place at the top of the article itself, not the talk page, that will draw attention to the proposed moves, and draw users to comment on it. For what it's worth, I agree with your proposal. Make sure you place appropriate tags on all pages involved in the merger proposal. Ejfetters 04:42, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
    • I actually haven't been able to find any article templates related to moving. All of the templates listed in Help:Merging and moving pages are for mergers, and none of the articles currently listed in Wikipedia:Requested moves have any special template on them. It seems strange that merging and moving would be treated so differently, but this appears to be how it works. Jim 05:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
      • Hmm, you're right, I never even realized that! But as you said about posting it at Wikiproject:Trek, yeah, that I'd definitely do, then others there will see it. I don't see why it would be a problem. I would place a dablink at the top of the new page, something like, "For the space station of the same name, see Deep Space Nine (space station) or something like that, that way anyone who did mean to go to the old site, and expected it to be there, would immediately see it at the top. As I don't even think we really would need a disambiguation for it. Ejfetters 05:46, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

• Agree provided there is a dab-link on the new page. --FastLizard4 (Talk•Links•Sign) 05:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
• Agree. --Doradus 20:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

All right, Nat went ahead and implemented the change, which seems ok since there's something of a consensus. Deep Space Nine is now a redirect to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which has a disambig message at the top pointing to this article. A lot of links need to be changed: I've gone through about 60 articles that used to link to "Deep Space Nine" and redirected the links here, but there are still over 200 articles that link to "Deep Space Nine". I would certainly appreciate some help with this. Jim 23:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Merge in Deep Space Station K7

Resolved

That article is a few sentences long of the earlier use of this space station, and would be great as a concept and creation section in this article. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 22:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Nay They are each different space stations...one is a 23nd century Federation built, Federation administered station, the other is a 24th century Cardassian built, Federation administered, Bajorian space station. nat.utoronto 22:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I merged it to The Trouble With Tribbles#Setting instead. - Fayenatic (talk) 10:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Merger of Wormhole here

It would make sense, as the wormhole is notable only in relation to the space station and the plot of Deep Space Nine. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Material Source

http://www.startrekdeepspacenine.org/deep-space-nine/ has a good amount of original and detailed information on the station and its various parts, all episode referenced. Any use? 84.92.181.183 (talk) 02:35, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I doubt it would be considered reliable. Doniago (talk) 04:08, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Title of article is awful

Why not just "Deep Space 9". - DS9 Forever (talk) 19:13, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

To avoid confusion with Deep Space 9, I would assume. DonIago (talk) 18:16, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
