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: ~.

For an optimal viewing experience, Wookieepedia recommends using the Monobook skin. For help changing your skin preference, see Help:Skin.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wookieepedian! If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the Senate Hall, visit our official IRC channel, or ask me on my talk page. May the Force be with you! &mdash; Omicron (Leave a message at the BEEP! ) 01:16, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

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)

RE: TIE Reaper image
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)

Re:User signature
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
