Sentinel page
Hello, User:75.148.7.250 keeps adding misinformation to Sentinel-class landing craft article, even as I have told them many times. They even try to sneak adding the info by doing two edits consecutively which only registers as one on the recent activity page so I had to look through the article. I have told them several time on their page as well.--Vitus Infinitus (talk) 04:56, December 15, 2017 (UTC)

Rey's Jedi status
At the end of The Last Jedi, Luke declared Rey to be the last Jedi. This makes me wonder if she holds the status of Jedi Knight now or if she is just a Jedi who doesn't really have a Jedi rank? DBZSSJ3 (talk) 21:52, December 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Is Rey a Jedi Knight or not? Please answer. DBZSSJ3 (talk) 00:40, December 21, 2017 (UTC)

Unidentified Pilots Policy?
Hi, sorry to bother you, but I believe you (or another administrator) said that the Unidentified Blue Squadron Pilot page was not needed. If a pilot who gets a line doesn't get a page why does this page exist?!?! I apologize if I seem rude, but I'm just mad that there's a page for a pilot who's face isn't even seen and not for one who has been seen and gets a line as well (albeit it being very short).
 * Hello. First of all, I'm not sure what article you're talking about. You'll need to show me a link or deletion log or something. Secondly, please understand that the existence of one article doesn't necessarily negate or justify another. We have an open article-creation system here on Wookieepedia, and users are pretty much free to create what they want, then we parse things down from there on a case-by-case basis based on our Notability and Deletion policies. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:13, December 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh sorry, I created the link in my original paragraph. That other pilot article just didn't seem as needed to me as the one I created. (The one I created got deleted my another administrator, but it was on the pilot who said "Copy that" during the Battle of Scarif.) Banana32 (talk) 20:24, December 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Looking at the deletion log, it seems the article's author gave the go-ahead for it to be deleted. I don't know if this was you or someone else who said this. And I was not the administrator who deleted this article, so I really don't know what went on here. I don't see anything preventing you from recreating this article, presuming it meets all of the necessary criteria. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:32, December 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, thank you so much! I'll make sure it meets the necessary criteria and I'll try to find an image for it (I can always screenshot one myself). Banana32 (talk) 20:41, December 20, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Blue Squadron Pilots Policy?
Thanks for giving me the go-ahead to create that page. I believe I did pretty well adding to that page. If it's not too much trouble, could you check it out? (Here's the link to save you trouble.) Oh, and I moved the page with the same name to Unidentified Blue Squadron pilot 2 because the other pilot had a much bigger role. Banana32 (talk) 21:45, December 20, 2017 (UTC)

Unseen Pilots
Hi, sorry to bother you, but can we upload an image of a pilot's fighter as their infobox image because their faces were never seen? For example, Torius Chord and another pilot were never seen, but would uploading images of their fighters as their infobox images be appropriate? Banana32 (talk) 21:55, December 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * It has been our practice to not do that. You should just add the image of the fighter to the article body. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:00, December 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay! Banana32 (talk)

Rogue One Project?
Hi,

Sorry for disturbing you again, but I would like to know: is there a project for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story articles? I've noticed that many articles about characters created for Rogue One (mainly pilots and Rogue One members) are stubs or have very little information. I've also noticed that there are projects for articles of Star Wars: Rebels and Star Wars the Clone Wars, so I thought Hey, it can't hurt to check if there is a project dedicated to fixing up Rogue One articles. : D Banana32 (talk) 01:32, December 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem. There is not currently a WookieeProject for Rogue One. You can find out more about WookieeProjects and see a complete list of all projects here. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:42, December 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks! Banana32 (talk) 02:20, December 21, 2017 (UTC)

Arvel Crynyd Scene
Hi again,

I have another question. In the scene where Arvel Crynyd suicides into an Imperial ship, there is another fighter, I believe an X-wing, which is seen getting blown-up. I'm curious, has the pilot ever been identified? Here's a video if you can't quite remember (I copied it at the exact time to save you trouble:) https://youtu.be/jzlXzftbMKc?t=235 Thanks! Banana32 (talk) 18:53, December 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I don't know. You're welcome to check the Return of the Jedi article, which lists all characters who appear in the film. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:22, December 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks! Banana32 (talk) 20:33, December 22, 2017 (UTC)

Another Wiki Problem
Hello again,

You probably don't know, but on the following pages from another wiki (Belsed-Qan Idan and Nat-Sem) there are images of jedi from the Battle of Geonosis. There is a source, but I'm still skeptical. I've repeatedly asked the administrator that created the page but they never responded. Could you just take a moment to check?:

http://star-wars-legends.wikia.com/wiki/Belsed-Qan_Idan

http://star-wars-legends.wikia.com/wiki/Nat-Sem

Thanks! Banana32 (talk) 22:33, December 23, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey couldn't help but notice this, so I checked out the sources and they seem to come from the legends reference book, The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia. There doesn't seem to be a canon source yet, but according to tweets by Leland Chee and Pablo Hidalgo, vehicles, characters, species, etc that appear in movies and are identified in now legends material stay the same in the holocron, though this has been a debatable topic by some editors on grounds to create/not-create canon articles. I brought this topic up in Forum:SH:Stance on Story Group Tweets.-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 23:24, December 23, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, so should I upload those two images to the pages here on Wookiepedia? Banana32 (talk) 00:24, December 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * If it's on the legends page and not a new canon page then there should be no problem in my opinion but wait until Toprawa gives his response.-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 00:27, December 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, both jedi's articles are legends. Banana32 (talk) 00:48, December 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * You didn't actually ask me a question other than to check these articles on another wiki, which I don't even know what I'm checking for. What is it exactly that you need? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:15, December 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * Can I add those two images from the other wiki onto Nat-Sem and Belsed-Qan Idan's pages, respectively? Banana32 (talk) 02:18, December 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * Not unless you can independently verify what source(s) they come from. The other user posting in response to this doesn't seem 100% sure, so you shouldn't just take their word for it either. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:21, December 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay. Banana32 (talk) 02:29, December 24, 2017 (UTC)

Poletec Chieftain?
Hi, The following link shows concept art of the Poletec Chief. However it calls him the "Poletec Chieftan." I'm assuming they meant chieftain, because "chieftan" isn't a word. Should I rename the Poletec Chief page? Here's the link: http://www.starwars.com/tv-shows/the-clone-wars-legacy/bad-batch-concept-art-gallery Banana32 (talk) 23:19, December 26, 2017 (UTC) Edit: sorry I believe you'll have to scroll down a little to see it. Banana32 (talk) 23:20, December 26, 2017 (UTC)
 * I would not recommend correcting the spelling. Though it's of course likely a simple typo, it's not up to us to change things, merely to document what Lucasfilm has created. The best course of action would be to reflect the misspelling in the title and make note of it in the "Behind the scenes" section. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:32, December 28, 2017 (UTC)

Trouble
Hello T&R, I am having trouble voting on Mister and Miss Star Wars. When I hit the edit button to add my vote the screen does not look correct to me. Also, it says that I need to be a signed in member of the site which I am. I don't know if the editing has changed. I haven't edited anything in a while. Thanks. --CookieCrumb 16:01, December 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello. I'm afraid I can't help you without more information. I don't know how the screen looks incorrect to you, and I'm not sure why it would be telling you that you need to be signed in if you already are. Editing has not changed, and others are voting on the contest pages as we speak. Not sure what else to say. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 16:40, December 29, 2017 (UTC)

User:2605:B100:F24E:6803:E846:506F:901D:702 and Stormtrooper (First Order)
Hello, can you take a look at Stormtrooper (First Order) please? The anonymous user keeps changing stormtroopers into ducktroopers, if I revert it again it'll only end with me breaking the 3RR rule as the user will keep changing it back, thank you --Lewisr (talk) 01:53, December 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, Lewis. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The offender has been blocked. Please be aware that the 3RR rule does not apply to cases of simple vandalism, so you would not be blocked for exceeding the limit in this situation. But it's still better to bring the issue to an admin for them to handle it rather than going back and forth with reversions, so you did well. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:23, December 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for looking into it, ah I thought it was for all situations but thanks for the heads up on that, but as you say it was better to bring it to an admin so thank you --Lewisr (talk) 02:28, December 30, 2017 (UTC)

Hey, could you help me out moving the page currently called The Last Jedi (storybook) (storybook) to just the page The Last Jedi (storybook) so it matches the format of the storybook for The Force Awakens. Thanks --Benjay2345 (talk) 04:06, December 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was what I was referring to! Thanks much!--Benjay2345 (talk) 04:19, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

Dictionary deletions
Hey, so I recently created several articles, a couple have been deleted on the dictionary clause. They were redlinks on Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy, so I just went and created them as I'm in the process of eliminated redlinks for that book. Could you give it a look and see what else is part of the dictionary clause as there are many basic definitions. Thanks!-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 04:09, December 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can do that. It looks like it's quite a long list, so it might not happen immediately. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 04:11, December 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I'm in no rush! I just saw that colony was also deleted, I think that one should stay due to several in-universe examples and can be expanded upon, similar to why we're keeping Nose or Democracy. I have no problem if should stay deleted however, but just bringing it up, thanks!-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 04:15, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

Creating Article?
Hey again, would it be appropriate to create a page called Hutt enforcers? For those Gotal, Aqualish, Quarren, and of course, Nikto guards seen in the Clone Wars series. Banana32 05:35, January 1, 2018 (UTC)
 * Is there a source that describes them in formal terms as an organization? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:38, January 1, 2018 (UTC)
 * Not that I know of, but in the following link it describes some Gamorreans and Niktos and Gamorrean and Nikto guards. http://www.starwars.com/tv-shows/clone-wars/eminence-episode-gallery Banana32 I-find-this-atire-appealing.jpg 05:46, January 1, 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it's the image of a warrior punching a Gamorrean. Banana32 I-find-this-atire-appealing.jpg 05:47, January 1, 2018 (UTC)
 * Then no. If they had been called "Jabba's private guard detail" or something, that might have been different. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:50, January 1, 2018 (UTC)
 * Not to be childish, but awww. I don't believe we will ever get (or have gotten) something like that. I still hope to get some classic Niktos in the next Star Wars film. Banana32 I-find-this-atire-appealing.jpg 05:53, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

Is there any way?
Hello! I'm not sure if I should ask you too, as I already asked two other administrators: is there any way Spenpiano could be given another chance? He has a lot of useful information and images with good sources to upload, and will really try to be better. Here is what he said in response to when I asked him if he edited Wookieepedia: I use to. Those guys blocked me due to recent mistakes. I don't want to be their enemy, but I've been waiting patiently to see if I could be given a second chance. So could you please consider? He really is trying to help. -- Banana32 00:42, January 8, 2018 (UTC)

Apologize
Hey Toprawa. I wanted to apologize with some of my comments in the Discord SH and previous forums, CT, talk pages, etc. I always had trouble expressing myself in english at the moment of giving my ideas or comments, It's has never been my intention to sound aggresive or out of line. And I had the same problems some months ago with the rebellion/Alliance forum with Brandon and now about the Discord, so I wanted to apologize in case anytime I commented it felt aggresive. Thanks--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 05:07, January 10, 2018 (UTC)

Protection
Could you please remove the protection from the HK-47 page? It's been almost half a year since that controversy which lead to protection of the page. And if not, please correct the date of HK-47 creation in the infobox, because he says himself in KOTOR2 that he was created in the first days of the Jedi Civil War, meaning he was created in 3959 BBY. --  OBI WAN KENOBI   CONTACT  19:36, January 11, 2018 (UTC)

Offtopic discussions from Hqu
Hello,

I apologize for the multiple attempts by User:Hquvfrioyle Lilenofryn to leave a message for me on this wiki for something not related for the site. I have no idea why he is trying to contact me on this wiki, as I am not a contributor here.

I believe he is doing it because he was banned from a wiki I am an administrator of (the althistory wiki if you are ever interested), but I have no influence to help him anyway as he is already a violator of our rules.

I hope I can help anyway I can to keep relations between wikis on a professional level, Sincerely, Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  04:52, January 13, 2018 (UTC)

Re:Untitled
I don't really see the harm in messaging someone on another wiki, but if you really have a problem with it I won't do so here. Did you really have to delete my messages though, so that 1. they don't receive the message, and 2. I'm unable to copy them first so that I can send them elsewhere? And why did you have to delete my own profile, that seems excessive. And not to mention you could have told me this wasn't allowed instead of deleting the messages and just leaving me confused as to what happened. Do you think you could undo your deletion so at the very least I can copy them first? Regardless I will not be using this wiki anymore to contact them. Thanks, Hquvfrioyle Lilenofryn (talk) 02:35, January 14, 2018 (UTC)

Re:Sith cave - Master
Thank you so much for letting me know about this!

 * I also need to do the same for Torpedo Sphere/Canon and Torpedo Sphere, thanks!-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 02:27, February 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi. If you need an immediate switch over, I'd recommend leaving a request here. It's not as simple as moving the pages. All of the links for both articles need to be updated, which is best handled by a bot. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:09, February 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks for the help!-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 05:29, February 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * Would I move Mass Shadow Generator to Mass Shadow Generator/Legends and Torpedo Sphere to Torpedo Sphere/Legends before making the bot request?-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 05:33, February 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * It's best not to, because then the links can get all messed up, particularly if the page might not get moved immediately. It's easier for the admin doing it to move the page and fix the links with a bot all at once. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:38, February 10, 2018 (UTC)

Metalorn Imperial Officer
Remember Unidentified Imperial officer (Metalorn)? Probably not, but the objection that kicked down the road for too long was related to sourcing the comic's release year to 1979. I found an old copy of the comic that has print publication information that specifically says "December, 1979 Issue." I can provide a photo from an eBay listing for the comic here. I imagine this would mean that the year can be sourced to the comic issue itself, correct? --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 21:07, February 27, 2018 (UTC)

Shadow trooper in SWFC
Hi Toprawa, I would like to ask you something for my GA nomination for shadow trooper. As you can read in the behind the scenes section, the Force Collection cards for the shadow trooper were initially labeled "Shadow Stormtrooper," its Legends counterpart. These were later changed to "shadow trooper," and I have uploaded the old cards to the SWFC Wiki as well, but since the new ones should stay in the all cards list, I am undecided how I should handle the reference. For now, I have put a direct link to the image file as you can see. I am open to any suggestions from you.  AnilSerifoglu  (talk) 22:42, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * What you have for references 12 and 13 should be fine for now at least. SWFC Wiki would do a lot better to have individual articles for each card, which we could then link to for our citation templates rather than the master card list. We can set that up over there in the long run. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 23:04, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * I totally agree with you, thanks. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders.svg  AnilSerifoglu  (talk) 09:56, March 5, 2018 (UTC)

Fanon Image
--mjlmjl888 19:34, March 9, 2018 (UTC) In regards to the image, you called Fanon. I didn't consider it Fanon, it was just a picture of the person holding their lightsaber and it changing colors as it does in canon. I'm not sure you mistook it as Fanon or if it is actually considered Fanon.
 * I'm well aware of what fanon is. For Wookieepedia's purposes, any fan creation that isn't from an official Lucasfilm outlet falls under our portmanteau term "fanon." You personally engineered that image as your own fan creation, which is not permitted here on Wookieepedia. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:43, March 9, 2018 (UTC)

Barsen'thor
Hi! So, while resuming my work on Barsen'thor (Galactic War), I've had this sudden realization. Would it perhaps be a good idea to move the article to "The Barsen'thor," which looks much cleaner and shorter? Seeing as he's the most well-known of the Barsen'thors, anyway. There has been a similar precedent, in my opinion, with the Iteration, where the definite article was used to differentiate it from other Iterations. What's your opinion on this? QuiGonJinn (Talk) 20:10, March 12, 2018 (UTC) "You're the "Barsen'thor," the Warden of the Jedi Order, right?"
 * Well, the Naming policy provides a stipulation that allows certain articles to be named like that. You should consider whether, in fact, it's appropriate to do so (I have no knowledge on this article subject). Does any source material explicitly refer to him as "the Barsen'thor"? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:36, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, in SWTOR it seems like when speaking about him, other characters tend to use "the". Examples:

- Tai Cordan

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate. I present the Barsen'thor of the Jedi Order, and defender of the Rift Alliance"

- Leontyne Saresh


 * Howver, when another character addresses him directly, there is usually no definite article. Examples without "the":

"Barsen'thor. I'm glad to see you."

- Satele Shan

"Ah! Barsen'thor! You know how long I've been meaning to find you?"

- Kutri O'a


 * Seeing as the style of encyclopedic entry falls under the first category, I think that there is enough merit to justify the move, but I'm not 100% sure. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 21:30, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't believe examples of him being addressed without the definite article negate your case. For example, I'm pretty sure the Inquisitor is frequently just called "Inquisitor." Since he is referred to multiple times as "the Barsen'thor," and if you're comfortable with that being accurate, I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to move the article to that title. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:12, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright. I have left a request at Bot requests so that the move can be performed and all the relevant links can be properly updated. Thanks for your input. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 23:03, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * Glad to help. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 23:13, March 12, 2018 (UTC)

Permanent archival link for LinkedIn
Hi Toprawa, I would like to take your advice about a LinkedIn link that I used in my GA nomination for Wookiee Cookies&mdash;yes, seriously :) The Wayback Machine can't save it due to robots.txt and the WebCite link, which is currently used in the article, doesn't show the necessary parts of the web page at all. Same goes with the archive.is. I searched for a new web archive tool, but couldn't find anything that can be used in Wookieepedia. Do you have any suggestions?  AnilSerifoglu  (talk) 01:35, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * I have found multiple websites making that claim, but nothing we can latch on. Removed that part. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders.svg  AnilSerifoglu  (talk) 01:48, March 22, 2018 (UTC)

IP address block
Hey Tope, I'm encountering some issues. So I went to barnes and noble (as my house doesn't currently have WIFI) and I'm using their WIFI. Apparently during this time on the Wook I was logged out of Wook without knowing and made an edit. Later I tried to answer a question on FANDOM discussions and it said "Your username or IP address has been blocked The block was made by Toprawa and Ralltiir. Expiration of block: 12/31/1969, 7:00:00 PM Reason given: Anonymous public access: Wayport - Please log-in to edit." I think the IP address is 10.130.60.231. Anyway, I can edit on Wookieepedia but not in FANDOM discussions. Do you know what's happening? Thanks-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 01:00, March 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * I also can't use my phone on data to participate in FANDOM discussions-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 01:03, March 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I really don't know. There's no block in place for that IP, nor does it even appear to be genuine, and the 1969 expiration date makes no sense at all. Blocks are uniform between the wiki and Discussions, meaning if something is blocked on one, it's blocked on the other, so I don't understand why you're able to edit the wiki but not Discussions. It's likely whatever public wifi IP you're editing from was originally blocked as part of a rangeblock in response to abuse from a public wifi source, which is fairly common and one reason why we don't recommend editing from public wifi. Since the issue seems to only prevent your activity on Discussions, I'm afraid it's pretty much beyond our purview, given that our administration by and large takes no role in managing Discussions. If this is a serious enough problem for you, I'd recommend asking Wikia for assistance. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 04:26, March 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'm not having anymore problems on both the Wook and discussions, don't really know what happened. Thanks for the help!-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 13:47, March 23, 2018 (UTC)

Sir. You have deleted my page.
Hello.You can call me RC-0407. I would like to know why you have deleted 'The First Order's capital defends fleet' page? I am aware that it wasn't perfect. But that can be fixed. So why did you delete it? Both the old and new republic has an page for their capital defends fleet. And double if you count legends. So in my opinion. 'The First Order's capital defends fleet' page deserves to be an thing. Ask by RC-0407 25/3 2018
 * Your article was marked for deletion for being particularly low quality. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that English isn't your first language. "First Order capital defends fleet" is not proper English and doesn't even make sense. If you can't put together a proper sentence in the English language, which seems to be a problem for you, judging from your contribution history, I can't in good conscience recommend you try to recreate this article, as it's likely going to be deleted again. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:20, March 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * Well.... Give me 500 years, and will try to get better. I train each day. So hopefully you doesn't have to do this again. May the force, in others, be with you. And yes, I am no Englishman.
 * I don't appreciate your sarcasm. You asked me why your article was deleted, and I gave you an honest answer. This is the English-language Star Wars wiki. If you aren't fluent in English, you shouldn't expect to be able to fully contribute to our project, and likewise shouldn't be surprised when your contributions are deleted. I can't help it if that offends you. There's really nothing more to say here. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:18, March 29, 2018 (UTC)

I'm Not in Trouble, am I?
I posted 3 images from a photobucket account but I didn't know Wookieepedia does not allow photobucket as a source. I won't get in any kind of trouble, will I? 8:08 PM; March 26, 2018; Ghost of LucasArts
 * You won't as long as you don't do it again. Are those three images still on the wiki? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:18, March 27, 2018 (UTC)

RE:Creating OOU articles
Hey, sorry about that, first time I made an OOU article, I should've reviewed the layout guide prior to making them and I'm having trouble finding verifiable information on these authors-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 19:55, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thats the trouble I'm having. I can't find official information besides things in Jedi-bibliothek, and Spahn's website doesn't mention any Star Wars work. Those three Star Wars roleplaying books are all I could find for Spahn-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 20:05, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Which I found on Google Plus-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 20:06, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Do I populate the bibliography with non-Star Wars work? There's quite a bit I can add-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 20:08, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * No, like I said, the Bibliography is the equivalent of an in-universe article's Sources list. The Sources list lists official source material; the Bibliography should do the same. For Spahn, he is credited in Dawn of Rebellion, so that's what you list in his Bibliography. It's ok if there's only one item there. That's all you need to create an article, anyways. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:15, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright, I think I'm beginning to understand. So what's the purpose of the verify template if there are items in the bibliography section? What can I do to remove the template and resolve these issues?-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 20:19, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * In the Spahn article, rename the section to just "Bibliography" to comply with the OOU; remove "contributing author," and move his blog link to the External links. Treat it exactly like the Sources list in an in-universe article. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:22, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay perfect, thank you for the help!-- Vitus Infinitus  Talk 20:25, March 31, 2018 (UTC)

Jaxxon
Hello there, Tope! Do you think you could remove the protection you put that prevents users from creating the Jaxxon/Canon page? We now know that he's going to appear in "The Eggs of Livorno," which Cavan Scott has repeatedly described as canon. (And yes, I confess I'd love to create said article myself.) Cheers! -- Lelal Mekha  (Audience Room) 19:18, April 5, 2018 (UTC)

Think you could help me out?
Er, not sure if this is really the proper place to be putting this, but I requested an edit regarding adding a new image (I am unable to upload, as per my edit count) on a talk page but it seems it was buried in the recent changes. I've edited other wikis before, but I just have to get acquainted with the way this one is ran :P

As pedantic as it may be, if you could help me out here that would be greatly appreciated.

Garrisons
Hi Toprawa, Are saying that Garrisons should still be included in Category:Imperial military bases even though they have their own sub-category? Because when I tried to add Sanctuary to Category:Alliance to restore the Republic-aligned planets Lewisr overruled me on the grounds that it was already in sub-category Category:Safe worlds.
 * I'm not sure what you mean. Category:Garrisons is a subcategory of Category:Imperial military bases, so an article doesn't need to have both categories. Category:Garrisons does not have a subcategory. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:23, April 13, 2018 (UTC)

Question about consensuses
I opened a discussion about the infobox picture for the Mirror cave, because the current picture is merely a close-up which doesn't reveal much, but one single user insisted on using it. It's been four days and only two people have chimed in, but so far, the consensus is leaning toward an alternate picture, which I suggested. What are Wookieepedia's rules for consensuses? How long does a discussion need to be open? Is there a rule for how many people who need to participate? -- You don't have to be crazy to hang out with me. I'll train you. –Nightlily 20:23, April 25, 2018 (UTC)
 * I believe the answers to all of your questions can be found here: Consensus. But for consensus to formally be reached on a talk page, an actual vote needs to be held, such as was done here. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:38, April 25, 2018 (UTC)
 * I see. But is there a point in holding a vote over an infobox picture when only one single user wants to keep the old one...? -- You don't have to be crazy to hang out with me. I'll train you. –Nightlily 18:49, April 28, 2018 (UTC)
 * There's technically no requirement to hold a vote. But in the absence of consensus, there's also no legal foundation to prevent that user from reverting you if you do change the image. The point of establishing a consensus is that no one can reverse a consensus-backed decision without a new consensus to overturn the original decision. It's pretty much up to you how you want to proceed at this point -- you can change the image, but you might also get reverted, fair warning. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:52, April 28, 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay. I also have another question: How do I go about to suggest changes to policies? Wookieepedia's current image policy favors jpg for photographic images and images with over 256 colors, but every person who works with pictures knows that png is far superior to jpg... Someone also told me that as this policy was written over a decade ago (although I don't know if it's true). So the rule should be changed. -- You don't have to be crazy to hang out with me. I'll train you. –Nightlily 18:49, April 28, 2018 (UTC)
 * The best place to suggest policy changes is in the Senate Hall. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:01, April 28, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've done that. As for voting: So far, four people (myself included) have voiced their support for the image I suggested. If I open a vote, do these people need to voice their opinion again, or do they already count as votes? -- You don't have to be crazy to hang out with me. I'll train you. –Nightlily 21:50, April 28, 2018 (UTC)
 * You would need to start a formal vote in a new format, and they would need to formally cast their vote for the official record. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 21:53, April 28, 2018 (UTC)

Help creating pages
Hi Toprawa and Ralltiir,

I have a question about creating pages, specifically with sources and templates. I am trying to get better at adding proper sourcing, as well as templates to my articles, but many times I have been blocked from doing so because my "edit was blocked by an extension hook" (paraphrasing). It seems to be a problem specifically with the templates, because once I delete them I am able to save the page without problems. I do not know if this is an issue on my end or not, but it really makes it hard to even say that the page I'm creating need sources. Further, I tried to add the "Galactic Empire/preload" infobox to the page PB-106, and it looked alright before I saved the page, but when it was completed, the infobox had no information. Can I get some help on this?

Thank you,

User:TK-462
