What Is the Star Army Wiki and How Do I Get an Account?
Updated
The Star Army Wiki is the reference encyclopedia for the Star Army universe, holding the setting, character, and plot material that the roleplay is built on. You can now log in to it with your forum account, and if you need a wiki account, the site's own instruction is to send Wes a forum DM to request one.
What the Wiki Contains
The wiki is the lore side of stararmy.com, separate from the roleplaying forums. The site links it in the main navigation alongside the forums, with Recent Changes and Random Page as standing entry points, so you can browse what has been edited lately or jump to an arbitrary article.
Typical material you would look up there includes:
- Setting background for the Star Army universe
- Character information
- Plot and story material referenced by roleplay threads
The forums themselves are organized into sections such as News & Updates, Open Roleplaying & Special Events, Roleplaying Forums, RP Discussion & Planning, and Community Forums. The wiki is where you go when you need the underlying reference rather than the in-character threads.
Getting Wiki Access
Two paths exist, depending on whether you already have a forum account.
If you have a forum account
Wiki login now uses your forum account. The site announced this as "Wiki Login Changes" — you can log in to the wiki using your forum account rather than maintaining a separate credential.
If you need a wiki account
The site's stated method is to send Wes a forum DM. That means you need a forum account first, since the request goes through forum private messaging.
Common Snags
Registration email never arrives. The site notes that if you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't — for example, to verify your account during registration — you should email Wes or reach him on Discord. The stated reason is that the server sometimes hits its hourly limit on outgoing emails. So a missing verification email is a known, temporary condition rather than a sign your registration failed.
JavaScript is disabled. The site warns that the experience is degraded without JavaScript and asks you to enable it before proceeding. It also flags out-of-date browsers and suggests upgrading.
Where to get help. The site points to its Discord chat (Discord.gg/stararmy) as a contact channel, alongside emailing Wes.
