Wookieepedia:Trash compactor/Wookieepedia:Ruined FOREVER

Wookieepedia is not the most fitting of places for essays, and I do not see a point in Wookieepedia hosting such whatever-you-want-to-write pieces. Such should only be allowed on personal user pages and forums, not as extensions to an encyclopedia (as in being listed under the essays category, which is directly under Category:Wookieepedia).

However, I do see the value in critical essays very much relevant to Star Wars and this wiki, and would not suggest that the category be removed, and instead encouraged to be expanded upon by users, whereby submitted pieces self-nominated for being categorised as an essay would have its contents reviewed based on community guidelines and being a relevant, critical essay (no "essays" of this sort) before passing as an "essay".

Essentially, screen self-nominations to [Category:Wookieepedia essays] in order to prevent unfitting pieces showing up on Wookieepedia other than in user pages. OOM 224  ༼༽{talk}༼༽  23:48, January 8, 2020 (UTC)
