Wookieepedia:WookieeProject Aliens

WookieeProject Aliens is a WookieeProject intended to help organize and improve the articles on alien species. Come join us! You can comment on the talk page with any suggestions you may have.

Templates
Template:Sentient should be added to all articles on alien species where enough information is known to fill most of the fields. Since it's an auto-hiding infobox, fields can be left empty or simply omitted rather than filled with "unknown." Template:Species is semi-deprecated, and should probably be kept for non-intelligent creatures only.

Use the template by pasting the following code into the top of the article, filling all relevant fields::

Useful sources
The following references are important sources for alien species. If any alien species appear in these sources, information on then should be easy to add:

 * Alien Encounters
 * The Essential Guide to Alien Species
 * Ultimate Alien Anthology

Important Wookieepedia Pages

 * Category:Races and species
 * Category:Races and species stubs (some of these are one sentence long: they could use some help)
 * List of sentient races and species
 * Category:Human races (many of these could be written up to the same level of detail as articles on non-humans)
 * Gallery of races and species
