My deepest Apologizes
I do apologize, and you're right about my statements being out-of-place. It was a bit ranting, I might add, and for that I am genuinely sorry. I've just been to many wiki's where there are many admins that find no sensibility, and I mistakenly assumed that Wookieepedia had fallen to the same. That being said, I too of all people should've looked at your rules closer (the Jurassic Park wiki isn't quite as large, so we don't have as many protocols there). Next time I'll pay more attention to your policies. Thanks for the reassurance. --John Alfred Hammond, CEO (talk) 14:20, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

FA/GA/CA Main Page randomizers
I've noticed over the years that Featured articles/Random and its cousins can cause small headaches to maintain because they do not show up on "what links here", meaning that when a status article gets moved, the randomizer is often left with a redirect link, a redlink (if the redirect is deleted), or even a link to an entirely different article (if that article is moved over top of the redirect). It also means that review panel members have to manage two separate lists of articles. I recently discovered that the Lua extension can actually fetch the wikitext of another page and perform string operations on that wikitext. With that in mind, I wrote a Lua module to replace the randomizers tonight. You can see it at w:c:masterjonathan:Module:Test. The module directly fetches the appropriate page (Featured articles, etc.) and parses it for links, retaining any italics or quotes surrounding the link, then selects one of those links at random and returns that link for display.

Two changes would be needed to WP:FA and its cousins: first,  and   comments would be added to the top and bottom of the list, respectively, to tell the module what portion of the page to parse; and second, a template would be created for linking to pages that should not show up in the randomizers (e.g. the year articles linked under "events" and anything that hasn't been featured on the Main Page yet). This template would be as simple as, which would be a direct replacement for  , and could be easily converted to a regular link once that article has been featured on the Main Page. Using the template would prevent the module from recognizing the link, since it searches for the  syntax. Is this something the review panels would be interested in?
 * Possibly, to answer your question. I don't think it's fair that I just say yes or no on my own. It's something we would have to discuss, so probably something best left for our next meetings. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:30, January 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * I figured you would want to discuss it at the meetings, so that's fair. I was mainly just looking for a general feeling right now, not a final approval. I do pay attention to the meeting pages and logs, so I'll check those out when available. Depending on the dates, I might be able to attend the meetings to answer any questions, but I can't guarantee that at the moment. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Holocomm 21:43, January 30, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism advice
Roger that. I usually don't have the need to do those things, since you admins are always quick to notice such problems. ;-) But it seems that one was very persistent. --LelalMekha (talk) 00:12, March 7, 2015 (UTC)

Felicity Jones
I created the Felicity Jones page and I'm pretty new to editing this site. It's been fun looking at the page keep changing. There was a message mentioning to add an image. I did just that from the official one on the site. I just edited it down on Photoshop. Why did you remove it?

17 conjecture removal
Hi Tope, just wondering why you removed the conjecture tag from the 17 article? You said in the summary "An article title isn't conjectural if a source calls a subject by that name. In this case, 17 is his official designation." However he is never referred to in-game at all, and the 17 title comes from the subtitles in which he is given "Trooper 17". The other trooper, named in-game as Three-Five, has "Trooper 35" in the subtitles. I'm just completely confused, since that article had to be moved from 35 to Three-Five due to this fact, with a callsign tag? Thanks for helping to clear this up! Manoof (talk) 07:33, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm going to try and keep this explanation as simplified as I can. Conjecture tags are only for articles in which we're making up a name for something when that subject has no official name in any source. This is an example of a conjectural clone trooper. In the case of Trooper 17, the game's subtitles are just as valid as any dialogue. If the game's subtitles call him "17," then that's his official designation. I don't know what the situation is exactly with Trooper 35, but it looks like the game calls him both "Three-Five" and "35"? If so, we just have to make a call on what we think is his most formal, official title. But for 17, it looks like he's only ever called "17," so that's his name. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 14:36, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * And I should add that clone trooper articles don't need any sort of header tag, such as the callsign tag, if the article title is their numerical designation. The numerical designation is basically their birth name. It's only when a clone trooper is known by an actual nickname, such as Hawkeye, that we give them the nickname tag. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 14:39, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks heaps! Manoof (talk) 06:15, March 23, 2015 (UTC)

Sandage Jr.
Maybe this is a weird question, for you anyways, but I was still looking for an image that could be used for Wan Sandage Jr. that's from Kinect Star Wars. The closest I've gotten is from a 720p video on YouTube. I still don't know anyone who can capture 360 screenshots. Either way, this is the closest you can really get to the character, as he doesn't actually appear in any cutscenes and has no real close ups. I was wondering if this could feasibly fill the objection or if I should keep looking for better screenshots, if any are available. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 16:33, April 11, 2015 (UTC)

Galaxies TCG placeholders TC
Hi Tope, since you commented on the Galaxies TCG placeholders TC, I just wanted you to know the vote on the TC has been split with a vote option for each article. Thanks for making me aware of the issue, I'll be sure to split the votes in any future combined TCs. Manoof (talk) 05:12, May 1, 2015 (UTC)

Grass article
Say, Toprawa, I was editing the grass article just now and I noticed that it didn't have an Eras tag on it, so I added one. However, it got me wondering why the article didn't have one when Eras was added by bot to all in-universe articles back in May of last year. So I checked and I saw that you had removed it. Just wondering if there was a reason why, or if it was just an oversight. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:30, May 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * I probably removed it thinking that it shouldn't have one because it's a species article, forgetting that it needed to have the template for the Legends designation. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 07:38, May 3, 2015 (UTC)

The Heart of the Jedi
Hello, Tope. I wanted to ask you opinion about the way we should integrate (or avoid to integrate) material from The Heart of the Jedi into our Legends articles. Technically speaking, the story hasn't been released officially; Flint simply allowed Joe Bongiorno to publish it, but Lucasfilm was not involved, unlike what happened with SkyeWalkers: A Clone Wars Story. However, Flint stated that he edited the story to be compatible with the "modern-day" EU. For new characters like Taj Vallerian, the modus operandi is obvious enough: since he never appeared anywhere else, we'd just create a page for him. But what about the new information regarding the Imperial Senate, for example? Should it appear in the Senate article's BTS? Should we use the "cutstart-cutend" templates? Should we just integrate it anyway, given that the Legends continuity is closed off? --LelalMekha (talk) 22:21, May 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * Our policy on this kind of thing can be found in the last paragraph of the BTS section in the Layout Guide here. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:24, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

Inqmoot 71

Apologies
Hello, my apologies regarding the forum vote, I didn't realise there was a requirement. I'll be sure to read the wiki's policies more closely in the future. -- Cyrannian  02:33, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
