Forum:CT Archive/Star Wars Merchandise Wiki requested

Forums &gt; Consensus track &gt;

So, I went and did it: I requested a SW Merchandise Wiki (with some proding on IRC). I'm assuming it won't be made a new wiki for another few weeks... there's 298 some wikis in Open Requests, but better to start now than wait even longer.

So, I come here for a few things: at the recommendation of User:GHe, I'm coming here first to ask for at least 20 people to pledge that they will work on this wiki, adding info on board games, Hasbro and Kenner action figures, LEGOs, trading cards, movies/DVDs (not an actual article abotu the plot, etc, but about the objects) those little miniatures, and maybe computer/video games, including game mechanics articles and whatnot. Also, I'm asking Wookieepedia to accept this new wiki as an affiliate, like the SWFanon wiki.

 * 1) I'll see what I can do with this. I'll mainly help out with action figures and LEGO sets. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 22:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Doubt I know enough to help that much but could cover trading cards. Green Tentacle (Talk) 22:31, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Um...a bit unneccesary as there is a ToyWiki already. -- Redemption  Talk 22:27, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * But this is exclusively Star Wars Merchandise. 22:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I really don't think Star Wars or any other toyline really deserves it's own wiki. If it does go through, I'll direct my efforts there but really...we can do as much on ToyWiki as we can on an exclusive one.-- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 22:30, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This is partially a compromise because of the people who want to include toy/merchandise information on Wookieepedia. 22:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

To the administration of Wookieepedia (or whom it may concern)
Place whether or not you wish to make the SW Merchandise Wiki an affiliate (like the SW Fanon wiki).
