Forum:SH:Canon Mandalorian page

With the advent of official canon, the Mandalorians have changed quite a bit compared to their Legends counterparts. In Legends we know that Mandalorians are a series of different kinds of organizations wrapped within the same basic culture. It therefore has a page called Mandalorian. With official canon, however, the term Mandalorian now appears to refer to citizens of the planet Mandalore. There are many similarities between canon and Legends Mandalorians in that they have historically been a warrior culture, but canon ties them to a specific planet rather than being a group of nomadic warriors.

I'm posting this because there is one of two ways that we could document the Mandalorians in new canon. Those are:


 * 1) Create Mandalorian/Canon. Just like Legends, Mandalorians can have their own page outlining their history and their culture. Pretty straight-forward.
 * 2) Document everything, including culture, on Mandalore/Canon. Given that canon ties the Mandalorians to the planet Mandalore, this would add their culture to the planet page, rather than having it in a separate article. That is because the term Mandalorian now seems to apply to the people of that planet. Note: individual Mandalorian groups with known canon names, such as Death Watch and New Mandalorians, would still retain their own separate articles. There just wouldn't be a page called Mandalorian/Canon.

My preference would be #2. Going only by canon, having a page called Mandalorian/Canon would make as much sense as a page called Alderaanian/Canon, since pages like that are not created. So I'm looking for your thoughts&mdash;which of those two options would you go with, or do you have another idea? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:10, June 21, 2014 (UTC)
