Forum:SH:questions about the Knowledge Bank

i would like to apologize for offending anyone the previous time i posted to the Senate Hall. i try very hard not to offend anybody, whether in person or on the Internet, and i would be glad of any advice when i fall short of that goal. In particular, i could use some help recognizing what i might be saying that might appear to be (to quote the admin who deleted my earlier thread) "a rather gruff and combative attitude" and "an aggressive tone", which i promise i did not intend.

My questions (one new, one re-submitted) are about the introduction of Forum:Knowledge Bank.

First, should we adjust the way that page uses the term "canon"? i presume it is perfectly acceptable to ask questions about, for example, Legends, Infinities, or LEGO Star Wars, even though none of them are canon. Come to think of it, is that forum the right place to ask about behind the scenes topics, like actors or authors or rough drafts, which are also not exactly canon?

Second, would it be a good idea to tweak the first sentence of the Knowledge Bank page? It says "This is not a place to ask questions about Wookieepedia itself" in big, bold lettering, which seems to me to show proper emphasis and insistence, but neglects to clarify where is the right place to ask questions about Wookieepedia itself. That would be the Senate Hall (or maybe the Consensus Track? should this thread be in the Consensus Track?), linked right near the top of the Knowledge Bank page, yet the Knowledge Bank page never explains what those links are, and the names are not intuitive. i previously compared the Senate Hall to a help desk for Wookieepedia, and said a help desk should be easy to find and recognize. i also used a metaphor of a bathroom: Even if it's the first door (easy to find), it's not easy to recognize if the sign on the door says "John" unless you already know "John" doesn't always refer to a person. Wookieepedia's help desk is not easy to recognize unless you already know Senate Hall doesn't always refer to the Senate Hall.
