Verbatim
Hey I don't know if you got my messages about the "Verbatim" tag updates, but if we don't implement a solution by tonight everything is going to stop working :/

SWFanon
Hey Brandon, I'm not sure if you remember, but I still have a question on SWFanon. Nicktc 18:57, November 8, 2015 (UTC)

IRC?
Say, Brandon, if you have some time this evening, could you be on IRC? I had a few things I wanted to bounce off of you. Let me know if there's any time that would be good. Basically, anytime between 8 P.M. eastern and midnight would work if you can do it tonight, or sometime tomorrow maybe. It's not urgent. ProfessorTofty (talk) 18:24, November 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll see if I can get online tonight. Depends on what time I get home. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:42, November 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright, well I'm logged in now. If you happen to come in, just give me a holler. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:32, November 11, 2015 (UTC)

C-ROC Gozanti
Hey Brandon. I was just curious about the C-ROC Gozanti you have listed on the page for the blockade of Ibaar. There was a C-ROC Gozanti in the episode, however the rebels were shown obtaining their food supplies from it. Was there another C-ROC in the episode affiliated with the Empire that I just missed, or was it just accidentally listed on the wrong side? Cevan (talk) 23:05, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * If I recall correctly, it was a Gozanti that the TIE fighters deployed from during the initial run on the blockade. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:12, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * That was a regular Gozanti, not a C-ROC Gozanti. I believe there were two of them in the blockade.. Cevan IMPpress.svg (talk) 23:26, November 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right. Feel free to change. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:54, November 13, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Battle of Endor edit
Thank you for clearing that up. Also, I have created another article that is being accused of being fanon, so I need to source it. Can you help? Fan26 (talk) 19:47, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

Prototype B6
The proper name for the vehicle is stenciled in Aurebesh on the Blade Wing's cockpit, and confirmed in the episode guide's trivia gallery on StarWars.com. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 22:00, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Luke Skywalker on Er'kit
Sure, I'll try to find a quote and a picture for you. Not sure I'll be able to do it immediately though. As a sidenote: writing about Star Wars Commander missions is really tricky, because it often consists of attacking base after base, whioch is tedious to describe. Fortunately, there are indeed quotes/dialogues that give some sort of scenario. --LelalMekha (talk) 09:47, November 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, looks like I forgot about it! Fact is that you can't (as far as I can't tell) play this mission twice. However, I may have just the thing that can help you. There is a guy on Youtube who records his playthroughs. Here is the link to the Echoes of the Force campaign. :-) (On a completely unrelated topic, if I must move a page by adding a /Legends modifier, do I have to change all the links manually?) --LelalMekha (talk) 18:48, December 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * Does that list look big enough to ask RoboCade? ;-) --LelalMekha (talk) 18:52, December 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * I usually do it all by myself too, but hey... sometimes I get lazy. Don't we all, now? ;-) BTW, Heir to the Jedi technically mentions "High Galactic," not the "High Galactic alphabet," but it's made clear they're talking about a written form. (Nakari says "You have to picture it written down in High Galactic instead of listening to it.") Which would you redirect: High Galactic or High Galactic alphabet? --LelalMekha (talk) 19:06, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

Help
Hello. I was wondering if you could help me out. I would like to add a template on this wiki page http://legostarwars-nonset.wikia.com/wiki/C-3P0. I fyou have time, that would be great. Just contact me once your'e on the wiki, and I'll let you know the type of template I'm looking for.

guard in Luke article
the guard on Cymoon 1 that Luke sliced the hand off has an article as an Unidentified Imperial slaver. Just FYI. Jkirk8907 (talk) 20:19, November 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:20, November 20, 2015 (UTC)

Order 66 & Shaak Ti
Hi Brandon. Upon reflection, I agree with your revert – the dramatic nature in which the Togruta Jedi's face is revealed in 'Star Wars 9' isn't proof enough of Shaak Ti's initial survival. A different wiki user has included Shaak Ti on the article's list of Known Survivors – I'll take her off of that, as well. Obi-wan Baloney (talk) 20:36, November 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Great. And yeah, while it could be Shaak Ti, we don't know yet. So good call on removing the other references to her. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:45, November 24, 2015 (UTC)

Canon
Hey, use /Canon in new articles for now; I need to do a sweep of the Canon articles changing links to /Canon so I can see how much is left from Legends. Cade   Calrayn  20:19, December 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Even in pages that don't have a Legends counterpart? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:28, December 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they're showing up as false positives in the WhatLinksHere. We're near the end though. Cade  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg  Calrayn  20:29, December 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh I misunderstood you. I thought you meant include /Canon in page titles. I get what you mean now, though - will do. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:30, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting the info I added to the SoroSuub page. It was just a distraction.

 * I can't verify that that's real, so it's not valid for sourcing purposes. Sorry. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:38, December 16, 2015 (UTC)

Spoilers
I Believe that to allow for people to enjoy the experience of seeing The Force Awakens, any plot points involving the Force Awakens should not be posted for thirty days, I don't think anybody wants their moviegoing experience ruined when they come to this site.--Marcuspearl (talk) 08:27, December 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * All spoiler pages will be tagged with a spoiler template. People will see that at the top of the page and have a choice as to whether or not they want to read the spoilers. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 11:36, December 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Very true. Though, Brandon, I must say, I appreciated your work in reverting spoilers in the lead-up to the premiere. Very brave. ProfessorTofty (talk) 14:56, December 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * I knew the basic plot of the movie awhile ago so I wasn't too fussed. Happy to do it! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:04, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Legends pages organization
Hi, Now that Wookiepedia default pages are Canon instead of Legends, I have some doubts in creating new pages. For example, I'd like to create the Mechno-arm page for Canon, with the intel in http://www.starwars.com/databank/mechno-arms, but it is a Legends article. How should I proceed to transform this page into Mechon-arm/Legends and turn the other one into Canon the proper way??

Pedronog (talk) 20:07, December 21, 2015 (UTC)Pedronog
 * Hi there. Thanks for asking! You can follow these steps, in this order:
 * Change all existing links to Mechno-arm on Legends pages to Mechno-arm/Legends.
 * Move Mechno-arm to Mechno-arm/Legends.
 * Replace the redirect on Mechno-arm with the canonical content.
 * And that's it! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 21:04, December 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * How do I know the pages that redirect to one page?? Pedronog (talk) 21:28, December 21, 2015 (UTC)Pedronog
 * Special:Whatlinkshere - Brandon Rhea (talk) 21:32, December 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * If I may add a question here, should we also edit Forum:x, Talk:y, and Wookieepedia:z pages to link to the new name, or only edit articles when renaming a page to /Legends? Thank you. Reddyredcp (talk) 17:29, December 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that's a good question. I would ask Cade about that. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:57, December 23, 2015 (UTC)

Deletion request
Hi. Could you possibly delete the redirect A Day to Celebrate so that I can move Tree of Life (song) to that title? Adamwankenobi (talk) 23:22, December 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey. Even though I do have the ability to delete things, since I'm a Wikia staff member, I'm not an admin here so I don't use those abilities. You'll need to ask an admin to do that, and I'm sure they will be happy to oblige! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:23, December 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've moved the page over the redirect. Cheers, 1358  (Talk)  23:26, December 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Adamwankenobi (talk) 23:35, December 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * LOL I automatically assumed you were an admin. :) Adamwankenobi (talk) 23:35, December 28, 2015 (UTC)

Luke page
Hey fyi, someone tried to pass ur work off as their own on the luke page. Tried to undo their edits. Hope you finish the work soon. Jkirk8907 (talk) 10:40, December 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 14:08, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Novels are Canon??
Has this just confirmed every film novelization to be canon??? Pedronog (talk) 10:23, December 30, 2015 (UTC)Pedronog
 * I don't think so. That's still really vague, and still seems to uphold the "canon where it aligns with the films" mantra. Unless we're explicitly told what is and isn't canon for those books, it's much easier for our purposes to not put that information into canon pages. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 15:05, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

Mee Deechi
According to Ultimate Star Wars Umbara seceded following the assassination of Mee Deechi as a result of his demise. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 22:11, December 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * Perfect - thanks for the info! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:13, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Mee Deechi
Thanks for your message. The page I added was not actually broken, but rather if you go to the backup link, you'll see past versions from 16 Dec 12 - 28 Jun 14. That said, upon looking through what I can, though the second 2 images in Mothma's slideshow are broken, it is unlikely he'd be pictured at all under the headings "Architect of the Rebellion" or "Opposing the Emperor." It also seems that broken Encyclopedia biography slideshows are the same images as the new Databank, where there's no image of him to be found. But in the future I'll refrain from making those additions if I can't personally verify them myself. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 17:44, December 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * Addendum: it is strange that the link I added to Mothma did indeed lead to a broken page. I just copied and pasted straight from the Legends sourcelist, and clicking the backup link from there will lead to accessible versions from 16 Dec 12 - 28 Jun 14. But as I mentioned, I now question if he was even pictured in the Encyclopedia entry at all, but will nonetheless leave the Legends version alone as I can't verify one way or the other. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 17:48, December 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * I think I also trust you in that regard with Canon articles you work on. I believe in the future if I continue seeing more of your works, I'll just assume you have all the Canon sources listed unless it's missing something that I myself personally verified (for example if any of my quality articles gets a Canon name, as I devoted lots of time to checking the old Encyclopedia/SW.com film pages myself for them). Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 17:58, December 31, 2015 (UTC)

Legends and Canon pages
Hi Brandon. I just wanted to make sure I've got this down right before I change a bunch of redirect links and create a category nightmare. Basically, if I want to create a canon page with the exact same name as a legends one, I'd simply go to the legends page first, move it to say, Mustafarian language/Legends, then I'd create a new page called simply Mustafarian language?

Also, I'd assume that when I change the page to Mustafarian language/Legends, all the links on other legends pages across Wookieepedia will auto-change to Mustafarian Language/Legends. Am I correct on this? Thanks. - Comm. Boots (talk) 18:50, December 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey Boots. They won't auto-change. You have to do it manually. This is the process:
 * Rename the page from "Name" to "Name/Legends."
 * Change all of the redirects to point them towards the new link.
 * Create the canon page at "Name."
 * It has to be done in that order so Legends pages aren't linking to canon pages. If there are too many links for you to change manually, you can always ask Cade if his bot can do it. But the link changes have to be done before the creation of the canon page, so make sure you're only utilizing this process when you have the time to invest in changing the links. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:53, December 31, 2015 (UTC)

Snoke image
Why did you remove the image from Snoke. ---Jay | Read me and my teams' epic books!!! or visit their Wikia!!! | Ask me if you want Wikia help with CSS, HTML, Wikitext etc; my coding skills are shown here, here, and other places. I am still learning the Wikias' coding capabilities!!! | Feel free to [mailto:whovianandwriting@gmail.com chat with me]!!! 19:33, December 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * It was from a pirated copy of the film, which means it was obtained illegally and doesn't qualify for fair use protections on Wookieepedia. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:34, December 31, 2015 (UTC)

Funeral of Anakin Skywalker
Since you promoted Funeral of Anakin Skywalker to Good status, I just thought you might like to know that I added a bit of info about it from Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side!, as well as added the title as an appearance. The book just gives a bit of additional info on Luke's thoughts at the time; that he knew that nobody else was going to mourn Anakin's passing. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:34, January 2, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 01:54, January 2, 2016 (UTC)

Jedi massacre
Considering your edits on the Jedi Massacre page, I don't think that's right. The Knights of Ren were there.
 * Pablo Hidalgo from the Lucasfilm Story Group said on Twitter that the scene in Rey's vision showing the Knights of Ren was not from the Jedi massacre. He said that scene was from somewhere else, but didn't say what. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 04:41, January 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * Regarding this topic, given the work that you've been doing on it, I was wondering what your opinion would be on possibly creating a page regarding the students Luke was training. I've been thinking of creating such an article with the conjectural title "Luke Skywalker's Jedi trainees," but given that such an article hasn't been created, nor apparently considered, I wanted to get your thoughts. ProfessorTofty (talk) 08:43, January 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * I think it's too broad. I'd wait until we know who some of these people are. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 13:31, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

Pages not showing certain items
Do you know why Organizations pages like the Jedi Order or the Church of the Force are no longer showing the members section but the Resistance page can show all the members listed? Thanks for your reply. Jkirk8907 (talk) 19:50, January 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't know, sorry. Perhaps ask Cade? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:57, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

Clone Wars template
Hey Brandon. A minor aesthetic question, but I was wondering why you modified Canon Clone Wars to add more rows. To my knowledge, the template doesn't have a row length requirement, since Conflict nav wrapper is locked at 500px, so making the rows shorter unnecessarily increases the template's vertical length. Thanks.  CC7567  (talk) 02:26, January 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * The template was all messed up. Here's a (totally janky) side by side of what it looked like before (left) and after (right) I edited it:




 * It was like that on the left for the last few weeks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:31, January 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks.  CC7567  (talk) 02:32, January 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem. I just went through the page history. This is the edit that caused it to look like it does on the left. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:33, January 5, 2016 (UTC)

A Princess in Lothal
Greetings Brandon Rhea, I write this message to ask if the heading "A Princess in Lothal" is the official title, because there was other pieces of evidence earlier that said it was titled "A Princess ON Lothal"? I am currently making these changes on the other Wikia's I work on, and I wish to be one hundred percent sure that this is correct.
 * Hey. The ones that said "A Princess on Lothal" were from fan sites. The actual news release says "A Princess in Lothal," as does the StarWars.com Twitter here. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:51, January 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Brandon Rhea. - Alex2424121 (talk) 20:09, January 11, 2016 (UTC)

Edit conflict
Brandon, in order to avoid an edit conflict, I suggest that you SAVE or reload your current edit, as I did not see your added active edit tag until I published my previous edit. Apologize for the inconvenience. Comm. Boots (talk) 21:59, January 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * The tag is still there so no worries. When I saw your edit I figured you didn't see the tag, so that's no big deal at all. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:02, January 11, 2016 (UTC)

Message
Hi Brandon Rhea,

This is Angie McAlister. I need to talk to you.
 * Hi. Talk about what? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:44, January 13, 2016 (UTC)

Rey's Homeworld
why did you remove Jakku as Rey's homeworld? was it by accident? Jkirk8907 (talk) 09:50, January 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey. I didn't add it because she's not from Jakku. She didn't arrive until she was at least 5 or so. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 15:37, January 13, 2016 (UTC)

Rey's Sources
Hello there! Just wanted to check if you are aware that you're missing a whole source for Rey: Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Incredible Cross-Sections. There's a lot of info about how she constructed her speeder. :)  Corellian Premier The Force will be with you always 17:56, January 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I plan to add an Equipment section that includes speeder information. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:46, January 13, 2016 (UTC)

The Rebellion
Hi there,

I have got a question about the rebellion. Which source names that network as the rebellion? I'm beginning work on the Phoenix rebel cell article and I'm not sure which source explicitly identifies the "rebellion" as the official name of this rebel network. Thanks for your time. Andykatib 01:59, January 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * Take your pick! The characters in the show refer to it as "the rebellion" all the time. The Databank and Episode Guides also say "the rebellion" a lot. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:00, January 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying the matter. Appreciate your help very much. Andykatib 03:06, January 14, 2016 (UTC)

About articles concerning the New Republic
I would like to work on articles for certain topics mentioned in the books surrounding The Force Awakens, one of which is the "Republic Command." It is mentioned in Before The Awakening, and is, of course, the council that leads the New Republic's military forces. However, it is never formally identified as "New Republic Command" - so when creating this article, should it be titled New Republic Command or simply Republic Command until it is possibly later referenced as New Republic Command? Thank you. Reddyredcp (talk) 03:53, January 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey, good question. It should be called Republic Command until it's formally identified as New Republic Command. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:55, January 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing that up! Reddyredcp (talk) 06:43, January 16, 2016 (UTC)

Old Republic
Ah, sorry about the speculative info. I hope it did not count as vandalism in any way. Although I did think it was mentioned in TCW that the Sith had an empire somewhere. Anyway, sorry about the speculation. :) Darth Ravigious (talk) 19:06, January 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey, no worries. The Sith definitely did have empires, but we know very little about the era of the Old Republic. I don't believe there are any sources out there saying that the Old Republic fought against the Sith. They probably did, but we don't know for sure yet. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:07, January 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, something that could be mentioned though, if it is even necessary, is that the Sith achieved galactic dominance at one point and conquered Coruscant to build the shrine (since it is mentioned in Tarkin). Or, is the fact that the Old Republic even controlled Coruscant still speculation? (I only read the books and watch Rebels, so I don't know if it was in the comics or I'm forgetting something from TCW) Darth Ravigious (talk) 19:11, January 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * It would be speculation that the Old Republic controlled Coruscant, yeah. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:12, January 18, 2016 (UTC)

Unidentified Rogue Jedi
Hey Brandon! We were talking about this on the Hundred Year Darkness page, involving the "First Sith". I was able to locate the sources on a couple of the pages (including databank references). I made it short, since there are only a handful of references. You think this is legit?

Lothal insurgency article
Hi there,

I'm working on the Lothal insurgency article. I'm wondering whether to focus solely on events that occur on and around Lothal or whether I should also include all of the other adventures from Star Wars Rebels Season One that occurs outside of Lothal, eg. Rise of the Old Masters which takes place on Stygeon Prime. In an earlier Senate Hall discussion, you suggested renaming the Lothal insurgency article in order to reflect the entirety of the Season One rebel activities against the Empire. I've also included some events from Jason Fry's tie-in novel Servants of the Empire: Edge of the Galaxy since the Empire treats any dissent (whether a peaceful protest or insurgents sabotaging mining machinery) as an act of rebellion. Hmm, what are your thoughts on this matter? Andykatib 06:13, January 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * I still think a broader article about the activities of the early rebellion is a better idea. Remember, "Lothal insurgency" is a totally made up and conjectural name. It's not actually a thing, so we don't actually have to include anything under that name. Activities that don't relate to the Ghost crew or the rebellion can just be treated as standalone activities. What do you think? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:02, January 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. Sorry for the late response, have been busy with other things. We could probably rename the Lothal insurgency article something like the "Early Rebellion" or the "Lothal rebels' insurgency". These titles are just provisional conjectural ones until Disney-Lucasfilm tells us more. Andykatib 23:34, January 21, 2016 (UTC)

Moving Military (Republic) to Republic military
It appears I do not have permission to do this since the page already exists as a redirect for the Legends Republic Military article. I'm not sure why I named the former article that in the first place (mistake on my part) but it appears it wouldn't have worked either way. The warning told me to contact an administrator. Will you help me out with this? Thank you! Reddyredcp (talk) 17:39, January 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'm not an admin so I'm afraid I can't help. You can find a list of admins here. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:48, January 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * Whoops, my bad! Sorry, thanks for the list. Reddyredcp (talk) 17:55, January 23, 2016 (UTC)

The Protector of Concord Dawn
Just so you know, I originally wrote that extensive plot for The Protector of Concord Dawn on Star Wars Rebels Wiki from scratch along with the others I applied on here. Since it is my own written work I did not think the Plagiarism rule applied.--Alex2424121 (talk) 15:09, January 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not rewriting it as a result of plagiarism. Having duplicate content is harmful for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It doesn't do Wookieepedia or Rebels Wiki any good with search engines to have pages that are the same. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 15:11, January 28, 2016 (UTC)
