Hot take: Memory Alpha being hosted on Wikia/Fandom instead of something run by the fans is a disgrace to the Star Trek fan base.

We finally get a good look at a lynar, "a kind of Celtran bat" in #StarfleetAcademy's "Come, Let's Away"⬆️, after we only got a fleeting look at it in #StarTrekTNG's "Chain of Command I"⬇️. I uploaded an image of the lynar to #MemoryAlpha 20+ years ago and it's still there! 😄 Here's the original 2002 screenshot in my database for comparison. Yes, back then I ruined the screenshots by painting in shaky arrows using MS Paint. 😅
Fun facts from #MemoryAlpha about #DS9 #TakeMeOutToTheHolosuite:
Jake (Cirroc Lofton) wears a Braves cap in practice BECAUSE HE'S KENNY LOFTON'S NEPHEW, and Kenny played for the Braves at the time

I love this very much because I originally created the "Unnamed musical instruments" article at #MemoryAlpha more than 20 years ago... :-)

Oh hey. It’s #MemoryAlpha night. Where the definitive wiki gets its name.

@ramsey from #MemoryAlpha:

«When William T. Riker was hesitant to try gagh in 2365, Klag jokingly suggested that he might as well have one of the Klingon females breast feed him, thereby insulting him by comparing him to an infant. (TNG: "A Matter Of Honor")»

so, yes, I'd say they are canonically.

@Taweret @cheribaker

The realisation that many #canon nerds are looking to individual people in the real world as authorities has been enlightening. For them, its an executive branch of government, for me its the judicial one. Canon is explicit dialogue, the architecture of a building, etc. It's not implicit things like subtext or authorial intent.

For #startrek, what was Canon was whatever gets an in-universe article or section on #MemoryAlpha, which specifically excludes #wordofgod.

Oh, #MemoryAlpha —We love you as always, but what's up with the shifting search field? One week it's in icon row near top for a popup, the next it's a solo text field at very top, then it's back as an icon button a few days ago — today it's a solo text field up high again. 😂 #battleofthesearchbox
