How to Help [e]
You can help with Sections!

StarCraftWiki is a great resource for everyone, and is built by members of the community adding small or big contributions. Time or English skills are not constraints that should keep you from signing up to the project, as some members might have plenty of time but using English as a second language, and others have skills but only time to correct grammar!

You can help out in the wiki by either filling out Wanted Pages and Incomplete Pages (also known as "Stubs"). You can also check out the Community Portal for information on the current wiki focus.

Your Account
You can easily get an account on StarCraftWiki by just signing up. If you have an account on any other StarCraft site, such as StarCraftWire.net, you will not automatically be able to use that username; you will have to sign up for StarCraftWiki separately.

Getting help
When you have signed up, this is how you get help:

  • Our homegrown Help section includes almost anything you would like to know.
  • The Wiki Markup page is great if it's a specific piece of "wiki code" you need.
  • The FAQ answers a lot of further questions.
  • The Community Portal Discussion is a good place to ask questions to be answered by the community.
  • The StarCraftWiki Support Forum can also be used to get help from sysops and members.
  • If all else fails, or you just want to talk to someone, ask Leord or Troglodyte, as the two of them are here to help those who are here to help!

Featured Article
The Hive Queen is the Zerg breed that has gone through the most changes since the Brood War, and is now one of the most important units of the Zerg Swarm. Instead of being a "nusiance" unit of the Zerg armies, it's now the main defensive unit, easily transporting itself between Zerg Hive Clusters.

One big difference is that she no longer is mutated from Larva, but is birthed directly from the Hatchery. She also relieves the Drones of mutating into Creep Colonies, and simply lays eggs that does the same, including the automated defence buildings of the Zerg who now can attack both land and air.

There is a debate whether or not she has turned into a "Hero" unit, like in WarCraft III, and there are certain similarities...

Did you Know... [e]
  • ... that the Starbase unit/building was removed 29th of September as being an upgrade from Starport that could create units in transit?
  • ... that a Terran Munitions Depot is needed to build the gigantic Thor? However, Thor is too big to be built in a Factory, so Thors are instead built by SCVs.
  • ... that the Armory is one of the main upgrading building for Terran mechanical units? It is also a prerequisite to build a Munitions Depot.
  • ... that an Engineering Bay is as good at flying in StarCraft II as in the original game? It is also a requirement to be able to upgrade your dear Marines.
  • ... that a Radar Tower only takes 9 seconds to make from a Sensor Tower, and reveals enemy units far away?
  • ... that a Sensor Tower is one of few ways to detect cloaked units such as the Terran Ghost or Protoss Dark Templar?
  • ... that the Terran Nomad is the nearest equivalence of the original game's Science Vessel, and can instantly repair a big chunk of damage on a mechanical unit?
  • ... that the Carrier is back in StarCraft II after much uncertainty, as the mega-ship of the Protoss (perhaps after the Mothership?).
