New databank CT
As of July 1, 2014, the official StarWars.com site has undergone another redesign. It has taken away the Encyclopedia entries and replaced it with a new Databank. This discussion will create a new layout guide format to reflect the changes and the following will be added to the Layout Guide under the Sources header.

Part 1: Encyclopedia entries: Given that they have been closely associated with canon sources, they will continue to be treated as origins as canon information. Since they will no longer be updated, treat them as if they were published on July 1, 2014 in an article's Sources list.

Part 2: New Databank entries: The new Databank will be listed in an article's Sources list. As it will continue to be updated, list it as the most recent source. The Databank entries are to be organized by official entry name (without titles or ranks for characters, and by surname if applicable).

Part 3: A new Databank citation template will be created, in lieu of the old template:

Note that this will overwrite the redirect which currently points to the DB Template.
