Minutes

 * 1) Voting policy amendment. The following will be added to Single-issue voters:
 * 2) *"In addition, any user who has placed User left on their user page, or who has in some other way made it clear that they have departed the wiki, must reearn the right to vote. From the time that they stated their intentions to leave, whether by the use of User left or some other means, they must earn another 50 valid Main namespace edits before they can vote."
 * 3) *"In addition, any user must have contributed at least 50 valid main namespace edits by the start of a given forum in order to be eligible to vote on the following: Forum:Consensus track, Wookieepedia:Mofference, Wookieepedia:Trash compactor, Wookieepedia:Official Friends of Wookieepedia/Nominations, Wookieepedia:Requests for user rights, and talk page consensus votes."
 * 4) **"A user who makes 50 valid main namespace edits after the start of a given forum may be eligible to vote on that forum if the forum lasts longer than a period of one month."
 * 5) Infobox images. The following will be added to Layout Guide: "Images used in infoboxes will be scaled to 250px for all infoboxes except conflict infoboxes (battles, wars, etc.), which use either 300px, 350px, or 400px, depending on specific template size. Larger default sizes are identified on the respective template pages. Images smaller than the default infobox size should not be scaled up."
 * 6) CUSWE: The Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia has been removed from Official Friends of Wookieepedia, and Template:CUSWEID will be depreciated. CUSWE will be readded to Wookieepedia:Official Friends of Wookieepedia without the need for a new approval vote, and the template will return to regular usage if the site ever returns to activity.
 * 7) Sockpuppetry: General consensus to amend Sock puppetry to include a provision about abused anonymous IP addresses. Final proposal may be taken to Consensus track for further discussion.
 * 8) Unidentified and unknown species categories: No general consensus reached regarding treatment of Category:Individuals of unidentified species and Category:Individuals of unknown species. Issue may be taken to Consensus track for further discussion.
 * 9) Rank capitalization. Manual of Style will be amended as follows: "Ranks and titles are to be capitalized when they immediately precede an individual's name. Do not capitalize ranks or titles when used as a substitute for the name. 'As an experienced leader, Admiral Ackbar served the Rebel Alliance. The admiral later served the New Republic.'"
 * 10) Starship italicization: General consensus/approval to amend Manual of Style to italicize starship class names when not using the "-class" suffix. Final proposal may be taken to Consensus track for further discussion.
 * 11) Plants and sentience: Plant species articles will specify whether the subject is sentient or non-sentient.
 * 12) Droid character layout: Ratified the addition of a droid character layout to Layout Guide.
