===About this site===
 
This encyclopedia is based on astrobiology articles imported from Wikipedia. You are welcome to join in and help edit it. We welcome those knowledgeable in astrobiology especially, and your expertise and knowledge will be respected here. The aim here is to have a small friendly wiki, where we work together, and know each other. Do introduce yourself, here [[Astrobiology:New editors|New editors]]
 
===Other wikis===
For the reason for setting up a new encyclopedia for this content, instead of fixing it in Wikipedia itself, see [[Astrobiology:Background to this encyclopedia|background to this encyclopedia]].
 
These wikis are also developed from Wikipedia pages originally:
 
* [http://microtonal.miraheze.org Encyclopedia of Microtonality]
* [http://encyclopediaofbuddhism.org Encyclopedia of Buddhism] - set up by Dorje108 with me as co-admin.
* [http://doomsdaydebunked.miraheze.org Doomsday Debunked]
