Welcome, Fan26!
Hello, and welcome to Wookieepedia! I hope you like the place and choose to join our work. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Wookieepedia aspires to be a reliable source for all Star Wars fans to read and draw information from, and as such, fan-created continuity and fan fiction are not allowed within our articles. All in-universe material must be attributable to a reliable, published source.

Do not remove talk page and forum comments, including your own, as they are part of the public record. Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~.

Battle of Endor edit
Hey Fan26! I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit to Battle of Endor. The previous way of linking was the correct way of linking. By using double brackets (i.e. page name ), it allows us to internally link to other pages on Wookieepedia rather than using a hyperlink. So, for example, Battle of Endor becomes Battle of Endor. If you're still seeing a red link on the Battle of Endor page, even though you created the page that was being linked to, try clearing your cache. You can add ?action=purge to the end of the Battle of Endor/Canon page's URL to do that. I hope that clears things up! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:44, November 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * Already done! Take a look at my changes to Hudalla system and Unidentified droid (Ugnaught salesman). - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:49, November 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * Brandon has a more advanced knowledge of Wookieepedia's guidelines than I do, and is a much more active contributor on here. I'd defer to his expertise, as well as any one of this site's Administrators. Bane7670 (talk) 20:07, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

Template:Verify
Hey. Just so you know, Verify doesn't necessarily mean that something is being accused of being fanon. What it primarily means is that the page requires sources. That being said, I don't think Ion Control needs its own page, so I've redirected it to Ion cannon. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:47, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Fanon and Sourcing
Hi! No worries about the Ion Control page, as Brandon said, the Verify tag simply means that the article in question needs to be sourced properly in order to be considered reliable. If the source editor syntax for the wiki is a bit confusing, use the visual editor for the time being, and focus on expanding articles rather than creating them. Even I used the visual editor at first! So don't worry if it isn't as "fancy" or complex-looking as the source editor. You'll soon learn what it means sooner or later. (Usually I just simply copy and paste templates and replace them with the correct info for whatever page I'm creating in the source editor).

To answer any questions regarding what the "Sources", "Appearances" and "Notes and references" headers at the bottom of every page means, it can be summed up like this.

The "Sources" section is simply resources that are not written in an in-universe point of view, such as guidebooks and any Star Wars Databank entry. They are listed in release order based on publication date/film premiere and etc. Star Wars Databank entries always go last as we don't have a date of final publication, however, the old Star Wars Encyclopedia entries are always considered to be dated July 1st, 2014, which was the day it went defunct.

"Appearances" are for in-universe works, such as novels, TV shows and movies. They are placed chronologically on the Star Wars timeline.

"Notes and references" is an amalgam of the two that simply allow the reader to check what source and/or appearance said text in the main article came from.

This page may help answer some of your questions, while this tutorial may answer any other step-by-step questions, and has links to other pages that may be of even more help to you. Happy editing! Comm. Boots (talk) 04:15, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Uploading images
While all good-faith contributions to Wookieepedia are appreciated, we ask that you please refer to Images, which can be found under the "other policies and guidelines" link in your welcome message, and familiarize yourself with the sourcing and licensing requirements before uploading any more images. The only uploading method supported by Wookieepedia, Special:Upload, will prompt you to enter this information. Wikia's non-standard upload forms are not supported under Wookieepedia policy, and ignorance of the uploading rules is not an acceptable excuse. Continued violation of the image policy or falsification of any information in an upload description are considered vandalism and will likely result in a block. Thank you. 1358 (Talk)  13:07, July 25, 2016 (UTC)

Image licensing
Hey, regarding your question about the licensing not showing up on your image, the "licensing" field has to be un-capitalized in order for it to work. I've fixed it, so the licensing should appear now. -- Dr. Porter ( Talk | Contribs ) 06:18, February 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Fan26 (talk) 12:31, February 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing that, Dr. Porter! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:12, February 3, 2017 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. Brules  Talk  03:54, March 23, 2017 (UTC)

Update template
Whilst I see what you mean, it's not really necessary to have both a character stub which says the page is incomplete and then an update template which also means its not complete --Lewisr (talk) 18:13, July 26, 2017 (UTC)

Fan26 (talk) 18:20, July 26, 2017 (UTC)
 * I suppose so. However, since the article is both a stub and missing crucial information from a recently released product, would', Template:Update be more appropriate?
 * I'm not sure it really matters which one, I think we can allsee that it isn't fully updated with everything from the novel just yet, I added the stub a few days back before the novel was released because even then there was still stuff missing from other sources of information --Lewisr (talk) 18:18, July 26, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay. Glad we cleared that up.

Reply
Just a few times I notice after some of your edits comes up after some words, and I'm just confused as to what's happening. Didn't mean anything by it --Lewisr (talk) 23:11, August 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes haha, its not your fault as you don't evidently know that's what you're doing! I wouldn't worry too much about it, its not a big deal just something I noticed --Lewisr (talk) 23:18, August 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * I literally have no idea what it is --Lewisr (talk) 23:23, August 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * Not every single time, but I've noticed it a few times --Lewisr (talk) 23:26, August 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * I use visual editor too, strange that it doesn't show up for you --Lewisr (talk) 23:33, August 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * I did think it could be that, that makes the most sense to me --Lewisr (talk) 23:37, August 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * Awesome to hear, don't worry if you ever miss anything I'm sure either I or someone else will get it --Lewisr (talk) 23:42, August 5, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Congrats
Haha thanks for noticing that! I hadn't even until you pointed it out. Thank you and same goes for you!--Lewisr (talk) 10:18, August 12, 2017 (UTC)

Nikito Guards article
If I reverted anything you might have done then I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional. I think because we were both editing at the same time there was an edit conflict and I must've mistakenly re added things afterwards with my edit --Lewisr (talk) 21:44, September 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks like the page has been deleted anyways now --Lewisr (talk) 21:53, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for asking, I believe our Signature policy should answer all your questions. If not, feel free to ask.  Imperators II (Talk) 19:00, October 4, 2017 (UTC)

Image
I didn't mean out of place as in not relevant, when I was on my laptop it was placed right underneath the picture above it and it just didn't seem right, but when I look on my phone it looks alright so I'll add it back, apologies --Lewisr (talk) 02:36, October 21, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Listening station article
Hey no problem! Sadly I have no idea what that means, whenever a message comes out for me I just redo my edit and usually it works, but if it seems you're having problems with it you might want to reach out to an admin --Lewisr (talk) 01:54, November 3, 2017 (UTC)

Chinook image
Perhaps, I think its fine where it is for now, and once the page has been expanded we can add it into the main body of that article --Lewisr (talk) 22:00, November 12, 2017 (UTC)

Signature
Hey, you have a broken file in your signature. That means any page you post on here gets put into the category for pages with broken file links. I'd recommend removing that from your signature. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:09, November 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * What I'd recommend doing is creating a page on Wookieepedia called User:Fan26/sig and then adding the non-image version to that. Then, go to your preferences and replace your signature code with the following new version:


 * {{subst:#ifexist:User:Fan26/sig|{{subst:User:Fan26/sig}}|80px-PMCS Red Snifit Idle Animated.gif Yo.-User:Fan26 (Talk)


 * That will render the non-image version on Wookieepedia while continuing to show the version with the image on all other wikis. I use this code to have the signature that you see here on Wookieepedia while my signature on all other wikis has the FANDOM staff icon in it. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:31, December 1, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Saponza's gang on SD-K4 Droid page
Yeah, go ahead and do that. We have so many SW fans that disagree with the canon reboot(and also vandals) on here, that it kinda looked like one of them. But hey, accidents happen(I was considering keepin the Saponza bit and manually editing out the rest, but laziness got the better of me). Thanks for being polite about your complaint!--D9328 (talk) 13:55, January 16, 2018 (UTC)d9328

It didn't need the (Neimoidian) part, it just needed the redirect cleared so whoever makes the page can do so --Lewisr (talk) 17:43, January 26, 2018 (UTC)

RE:Wookieeproject: Commander
Hey, I think it would be good to have a project, but I won't be able to have the time to put all the work in creating, administrating it, and participating in it, at least not now anyway. I'm going to be absent from tomorrow till June 17 and then I have summer and fall university courses. If there was a project though I'd definitely join and help out, but right now I don't think I would be able to-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 14:43, May 30, 2018 (UTC)

reconstituted Sith Empire
Is it really correct to use the term "reconstituted Sith Empire" in relation to TOR articles? That adjective never appears in the game or any supplementary source, it was fan-made by this wiki to differentiate it from other Sith Empires. But while an extra clarification is useful when talking about the broad galactic history, in the context of the game's time period there is only one Sith Empire, with no room for ambiguity. By changing "Sith Empire" to "reconstituted Sith Empire" you're implying that it's a more accurate term, while that is not the case. --560548 (talk) 09:36, June 1, 2018 (UTC)

SWTOR armor and weapons
Resolute Protector Armor is not listed in Star Wars: The Old Republic/Appearances. Please edit the latter page and list any more items that appear in Star Wars: The Old Republic but are not in the Appearances section. --Nostalgia of Iran (talk) 17:15, June 21, 2018 (UTC)

Maybe stop?
You might want to stop trying to add the TOR project template to every single TOR article. There's no rule, policy, or precedent that even suggests a WookieeProject template needs to be added to every related article. TOR is so expansive, it probably has the single-most number of subjects of any Star Wars project ever. It's so big, in fact, we have to use a subpage on the TOR article just to load the Appearances section, so it's absolutely insane to try and add this template to every single article. You would do better to just focus on the major subjects and leave it at that. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 16:49, August 10, 2018 (UTC)

Hello. On all future TC nominations for TCW articles, can you please specify a timestamp in the episode so we can see where the subject appears? For now, it would be helpful if you can please specify on the TC forum where Bravo Squad cadet 5 appears. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 14:16, August 21, 2018 (UTC)

Re Eternal Empire infobox
Yeah, that was me. I was asked to bring it up on forum but didn't have much time recently --  OBI WAN KENOBI   CONTACT

Maybe you could start the topic on forum or address this issue to some technical admin here? I'm not really familiar with the way things work here and I suppose my opinion doesn't have much weight here since I'm not the active user --  OBI WAN KENOBI   CONTACT

Well we have specialised admin on Russian Wookiepedia who solves all the technical issues. It seems admins here don't know how infobox actually works and how to change it, but I could ask our Fixer-admin what should be added to css and where and then tell directly to some admin here. I don't know though whether we need anyone's permission for such change but it seems most reasonable --  OBI WAN KENOBI   CONTACT  18:17, August 24, 2018 (UTC)

WP:TOR
I have plans to write up Copero, as it was a CA of mine until it got featured in TOR, but beyond that, I have no further plans of writing TOR-related articles. You are free to remove me from the participants list, if you wish. I'll still add Copero to the list of TOR projects, though. Thanks for your time! MasterFred (Whatever) 22:02, September 24, 2018 (UTC)

TOR Appearances
There is a template here for content that appears in Star Wars: The Old Republic and its expansions. That way users do not have to type out the entire name of an expansion when editing. --Nostalgia of Iran (talk) 21:36, September 25, 2018 (UTC)

GAN voting
Hi, Fan26. While we certainly appreciate your involvement in voting on Good article nominations, please be aware that GANs only require a maximum of two non-AC user votes to pass. Any additional non-AC user votes past two are superfluous and don't make the nomination pass any more quickly. While it never hurts to have more eyes reviewing nominations, ultimately your time and contributions are better spent reviewing and voting on nominations that are still in need of non-AC votes (any nominations with 0 or 1 user votes). This is all explained in the GAN page rules if you take a gander. Thanks for your time. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:15, October 18, 2018 (UTC)

RE: WP:TOR guilds
Hi Fan26, as far as I know the guild is long abandoned, although I haven't played TOR in a long time so I honestly couldn't say that with 100% certainty. Since everyone else on that page is long gone though feel free to change it however you want. Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:31, October 25, 2018 (UTC)

Re: risold's images
The edits and uploads themselves were legitimate so there are no plans to delete any images or revert any other contributions at this time. 1358 (Talk)  17:43, October 27, 2018 (UTC)

Timothy Zahn's Interview
Hi Fan26,

I just wanted to notify you that I will be seeing if I could make an interview to Mr. Timothy Zahn. I have yet to ask him via his Facebook account if he will accept, but I'm sure he will want to share his time with us. Back to the matter, I just wanted to ask you if you would like to ask him some question so I can ask it to him during the interview.

Thanks!

Re: Talk pages
I would recommend restricting such messages to WookieeProject members who are active editors (i.e. have edited in the past few months or so), and you can probably reach at least some of the members via IRC, as well. Cheers, 1358  (Talk)  01:52, November 3, 2018 (UTC)

RE:Eternal Alliance infobox
Sorry for the late answer, being busy lately. Basically yes they were primarly a military organization, the oranization infobox would be more appropiate than the military unit one, but that would've been before Iokath and the start of the traitor conspiracy, since they did became government. We will see how the Ossus storyline treats the Alliance now that it has lost power in the galaxy, maybe they do become now an organization more than a government, or maybe even the start of a new/smaller Alliance that sides with either the Imps or the Pubs.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 02:15, November 3, 2018 (UTC)
