A place all about the Continuum Universes Franchise from the Books to Games.
The '''Continuum Universes Wiki''' is a [https://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki]-powered encyclopedia and writing workspace for the '''[[Continuum Universes]]''' project: a connected multiverse of original settings used for stories, games, and related creative works. It serves two roles at once: a reader-friendly reference guide, and a structured “lore database” designed to keep canon consistent across many universes and genres.


== Purpose and scope ==
The wiki documents the Continuum as a multiverse setting with recurring cosmology, metaphysics, and scientific principles. In practical terms, it is meant to:


* organize canon (so concepts stay consistent across books, games, and campaigns)
* keep terminology standardized (so “the same thing” doesn’t splinter into five names)
* provide a home for both core setting material and curated community contributions


We're a collaborative community website about {{topic}} that anyone, including you, can build and expand. Wikis like this one depend on readers getting involved and adding content. Click the "ADD NEW PAGE" or "EDIT" button at the top of any page to get started!
While many pages are written in an “in-universe encyclopedia” voice, this wiki itself is a real-world creative production tool: a way to build a large setting without it turning into an unreadable pile of disconnected cool ideas.


==Important articles==
== Content model ==
<gallery position="center" captionalign="center" navigation="true">
Most pages are built around repeatable content types (with templates and categories to keep them consistent), such as:
File:Placeholder | [[A page about your topic]] |link=A page about your topic
File:MerikTeslek.jpg | [[Merik Teslek]] |link=Merik Teslek, Honored One of All Species
File:Placeholder | [[A Main Character]] |link=A Main Character
File:Placeholder | [[The First Episode]] |link=The First Episode
File:Placeholder | [[An Important Location]] |link=An Important Location
File:Placeholder | [[A Key Event]] |link=A Key Event
File:BlackIchor.jpg | [[Black Ichor]] |link=Black Ichor
</gallery>
<!-- The gallery above works well for individual articles, but it would also be good to have another below it that points to important Category: pages. -->

* '''Universes''' (major settings within the Continuum)
''Need help building out this community?''
* '''Species''' and '''races''' (biological and cultural profiles)
* '''Characters''' (biographical entries tied into factions and events)
* '''Substances''' and '''materials''' (chemistry, hazards, exotic matter)
* '''Atmospheres''' and '''world types''' (planetology and environmental rules)
* '''Magic systems''' and metaphysical mechanics (how “weird physics” behaves)


*[[Project:Wiki rules|Rules of this wiki]]
The intended style is highly interlinked: pages should connect outward to related concepts (taxonomy, locations, factions, cosmological laws) so readers can navigate the setting like a living knowledge graph rather than a linear book.

== Community and licensing ==
The Continuum Universes Wiki uses a hybrid model that separates:


* '''core IP''' (official setting material, characters, and flagship works), and
* '''fan contributions''' (community-written content published under a [https://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons] framework)


Community contributions are expected to follow the project’s formatting and canon-safety guidelines (templates, categories, tone, and internal consistency), with review/approval processes used where necessary to prevent contradictions or accidental canon breakage.


''Community Founders'': Write a good and paragraph-length description for your welcome section about your topic. Let your readers know what your topic is about and add some general information about it. Then you should visit [[Special:AdminDashboard|the admin dashboard for more tips]].
