Forum:SH:Revisiting the idea of a LEGO tab

There was a period of time where we passed a proposal to have a LEGO tab. However, that was later overturned in a follow up CT. I wanted to kick off a conversation about a LEGO tab&mdash;or see alternate ideas that people may have&mdash;because of new developments with the upcoming book Star Wars: Droidography.

The new book will include information from canon as well as The Freemaker Adventures. Presumably, based on how the book ends up being structured, this means that some elements from The Freemaker Adventures will make their way into canon. The Freemaker Adventures is “canon adjacent,” meaning it has to adhere to what’s canon but the show itself is not entirely canon since it’s told in a sort of comical style befitting the fact that it’s all LEGOs.

This means we may have a scenario where things that were previously exclusive to The Freemaker Adventures are now part of canon, even if The Freemaker Adventures itself isn’t. I see two main options for what we could do here:


 * 1) Reintroduce the LEGO tab. That way, Roger’s canon information can be documented on one page and his Freemaker Adventures info can be documented on a LEGO page. Arguably the default page should be LEGO for series characters, so this could be a use case where /Canon is still used for canon pages.
 * 2) We come up with a new page structure that allows for canon and Freemaker Adventures info to all be on one page. The behind the scenes style that we used to use on Legends pages for previous LEGO stories wouldn’t really work, since Freemaker Adventures is the primary medium these characters and elements would be from, but there’s probably a new style we can figure out.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on what our approach should be? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:02, July 14, 2018 (UTC)
