Forum:SH:Filling in Missing Canon Pages

We have previously discussed in two threads (here and here) that we need to work on the switch from having Legends as the default pages to having Canon as the default pages. The justification for keeping Legends as the default early on was that there were not enough Canon pages to justify the switch. The other justification was that, at the time, the new Canon had not yet started. That was a fair decision, I think. Now, however, there's a lot more Canon, especially now that the first season of Rebels is ending, and we have over 2,000 pages. Additionally, the fact that we have Legends as the default instead of Canon is starting to be noticed. We also need to best-serve our readers who are coming to pages like, say, Mustafar (which appears in Rebels) and expecting to find Rebels information there. The future of Star Wars is in Canon, and most of our future contributors and a huge percentage of our readers are going to be because of Canon as well.

Several days ago, I asked more technically-inclined admins if they can come up with a plan for how we can make the switch. We should see the results of that brainstorming soon.

In the meantime, we want to make sure that the switch from Legends-default to Canon-default is as effective as possible. One of the ways to do that is to fill in as many /Canon links as possible. That way, they are already created, and the tab change can be done automatically for as many pages as possible, rather than having to change many, many pages by hand. I have put together a list of every /Canon redlink from Special:WantedPages. This is not every Canon page, just a) the ones with /Canon AND b) the ones that appear on WantedPages. That special page only goes up to 1,000 pages, so there are surely more /Canon pages that are redlinks. As we fill in the ones already on the page, though, we'll start to see more /Canon pages appear in the list.

Below is the current list of /Canon pages that appear. If you are interested in participating in the efforts to document Canon, or you're already participating, please feel free to begin creating these pages. Just keep some things in mind:


 * As always, follow the requirements Manual of Style and the Layout Guide. Even if you're making stub pages, we want the information that you put on the page to look great!
 * Use an image whenever possible, and make sure the image properly sourced.
 * Make sure that the name of the subject appears in a Canon source and/or meets the exceptions of the notability policy. The policy currently allows conjectural names only for events and notable personal weapons. If you're not sure of the source of the name, or you're not sure if it has one, please leave the page on the list without creating it. We can review at the end.
 * Make sure every bit of information you add to a page is referenced.
 * Have fun!

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the Discussion section or contact me personally. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:50, March 1, 2015 (UTC)
