Re: Great Jedi Purge redirects Edit

This is actually intentional. If you look at the recent changes with bots shown you'll see that EcksBot is currently performing a conversion from /Canon. The first step of this process involves moving Legends articles to /Legends and changing Legends links to point to the new names. Usually EcksBot handles the page moves as well (see the move log) but in this case, "Great Jedi Purge" was move-protected so I had to move it manually. Once EcksBot finishes the first step of the link switching, current /Canon pages) will get moved and links adjusted accordingly. To summarize: my pagemove was intentional, no need to worry, it'll be fixed in a small while. 1358 ^(Talk) 20:55, May 14, 2020 (UTC)

• No need to go around changing any links manually. EcksBot will handle them. 1358 ^(Talk) 21:11, May 14, 2020 (UTC)

Clone trooper appearancesEdit

Hey! I did a removal a while back of all the appearances post ROTS since at the point that Palpatine declares the Empire, the clone troopers are actually considered stormtroopers. After that point, we should only add instances where clone troopers were mentioned (as in the idea of clone troopers, not specific clones), rather than including instances of where clones appear. Rex/Gregor/Wolffe aren't really clone troopers anymore by the time of Rebels if you think about, so including it as an appearance wouldn't make sense, think of it as a retired stormtrooper appearing in a story 20 years after the end of the Empire, they're no longer a stormtrooper, so we wouldn't add it unless stormtrooper was mentioned in that source. As for clone trooper armor/items, rather than counting it as an appearance for clone troopers it would be best to just put it on the clone armor page or whatever it is. Hopefully that makes sense, let me know if you have further questions or need more clarifying! --Lewisr (talk) 19:56, May 15, 2020 (UTC)

RE: New possible templateEdit

I think that's a great idea. I suggest seeing what an admin thinks about it too, just in case.--Vitus Infinitus^Talk 16:56, May 17, 2020 (UTC)

• Awesome!--Vitus Infinitus^Talk 20:54, May 17, 2020 (UTC)

Verify vs. CitationEdit

Hey! Verify is used when a page has no appearance/source, and the citation tag is used for when parts of an article need to be sourced properly. The fact and citation tags are generally for the same thing. In that case you're talking about, it'd be best to use the citation tag, as it has sources/appearances which solves the verify tag and is in need of citation. Hope his helps! --Lewisr (talk) 20:36, May 20, 2020 (UTC)

Talk pagesEdit

Hi Erebus, just wanted to point out that per our talk page policy: "Please do not create a talk page solely to add {{Talkheader}} and/or WookieeProject talk page templates." Cheers, Tommy-Macaroni 17:07, May 22, 2020 (UTC)

RE:Open Circle ArmadaEdit

Thank you, I appreciate it! No worries about the edit conflict. I'm still structuring the expansion of the Republic Navy, Open Circle Fleet, and Fifth Fleet, and would appreciate holding off on editing for now on related articles like ships and sub-fleets and such as I need to create reference notes for most of this stuff. Thank you-Vitus Infinitus^Talk 18:02, May 22, 2020 (UTC)

• It's no issue at all! Your work was definitely beneficial and you're a great editor here! I'm just trying to organize stuff a bit more is all! I really appreciate the help, and I'll let you know if I need any help, thanks!--Vitus Infinitus^Talk 18:14, May 22, 2020 (UTC)
  • Yes that is correct, but again, please hold off for now before making changes since this is a drastic shift from what was established. I have an Inuse template on Fifth Fleet, Republic Navy, and Open Circle Fleet, so please respect them and don't edit the pages while the template is up. Thank you!--Vitus Infinitus^Talk 21:53, May 22, 2020 (UTC)

Open Circle Fleet AppearancesEdit

No, you weren't coming off as rude. Sorry for causing the editing conflicts. That was unintentional. --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 07:14, May 22, 2020 (UTC)

Re: Capital ships Edit

You don't necessarily need to go around blanket-removing lists, particularly if they're sourced, but I would advise against creating new ones at least. In an ideal world, many of the existing lists should be converted to prose rather than having potentially useful information lost. Cheers, 1358 ^(Talk) 21:20, May 22, 2020 (UTC)

Re:ImagesEdit

Sounds perfect! Thanks for helping! MasterFredcerique 02:22, May 24, 2020 (UTC)

• As far as the equipment goes, as long as it’s done in a way that one of us can go through and turn it into prose easily, that’s fine. MasterFredcerique 20:53, May 24, 2020 (UTC)

AffiliationsEdit

Yes sorry I didn't link it prior but as you can see in the layout guide, it should be *Galactic Empire **Stormtrooper Corps, or whatever you feel best serves the character on the 2nd bullet point in that particular case! If you do come across any pages that are more than that like Redeye for example, then please do fix it to fit the policy. Thank you! Haha you do like doing your adventures :P --Lewisr (talk) 18:32, May 24, 2020 (UTC)

Bot edits Edit

Hello. For future reference, when you plan on doing simple monotonous tasks like adding a missing parameter to a large amount of infoboxes, please don't hesitate to list it as a request at Wookieepedia:Bot requests instead. Thank you. Imperators II^(Talk) 22:00, May 25, 2020 (UTC)

• Look, I'll be frank with you. It has nothing to do with how it makes you feel or how independent you think it makes you, and everything to do with you clogging up the Recent Changes with your edits that way. When a bot adds missing infobox parameters, it makes edits that are automatically flagged as "bot edits" and that are therefore hidden by default from Recent Changes and can be hidden in users' Watchlist. If you do it yourself, your edits are not being flagged as such, and as a result uselessly take up a huge portion of those edit-lists. The aforementioned effect also interferes with the efficient work of the Recent Changes patrollers. So I hope you now understand the reason why I'm asking you to please leave up to the bots edits than can be carried out by a bot. Thank you. Imperators II^(Talk) 22:23, May 25, 2020 (UTC)

Categorizing vehicle variantsEdit

Hey, yeah no worries I do get what you're saying! I guess you could probably add it to that category, but its cool if you feel otherwise, go with what you think works best --Lewisr (talk) 23:44, May 25, 2020 (UTC)

RE:Reason for removalEdit

No worries, it didn't hurt the nomination at all, it's just stuff that happens, I know that you have good intentions--Vitus Infinitus^Talk 17:58, May 26, 2020 (UTC)

RE: Chronological order and duplicating linksEdit

Hey! Yeah I can take a look over it, though I'm about to head off to bed soon so I may take a bit more of a in depth look when I wake up. Haha wow that's sure a hell of a lot, oh man you really didn't have to spend so much time doing it! But its appreciated, so thank you for taking the time --Lewisr (talk) 03:55, May 27, 2020 (UTC)

• No its okay don't worry! Haha well that's fair enough, as you say it gave you something to do. +32,301, damn :P From the look I just did, I didn't see any duplicates and I would say its pretty much in the chronological order we've been going with on timeline of canon media, which is something I always try to keep the appearances in line with. Great job and thanks again for taking the time! --Lewisr (talk) 04:03, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
  • Hey, sure thing will take a look after you've posted it! Haha that's good then! Of course, I'm sure they will be fine but will fix any potential mistakes. Which ones did you leave out? --Lewisr (talk) 18:46, May 28, 2020 (UTC)
    • Nice job, looks to be all in the right place! Ah okay those ones are a bit difficult to exactly place since they cover 3 different time periods within them, but issue 26 is the only one that needs to be added since SCAR Squadron was only mentioned in the crawls of 27 and 28 and squad wasn't, but they did appear in 26 which should go after issue 25, but will add that now! Thanks again for doing all these, really helps out --Lewisr (talk) 19:00, May 28, 2020 (UTC)

CompanyEdit

No its okay, I can see why you added them! Was just writing to explain the removals, but seems you beat me to it! In the case of Twilight Company/Sixty-First Mobile Infantry, only the Sixty First name is mentioned in the Rogue One novel/audiobook and Shadow Fall, so that wouldn't count as a company mentioned. And with Company 77, although their name is still company 77, they aren't really a First Order company anymore so we should only include it if company was mentioned (I'll have to check and will re add if it was mentioned). I believe with Ghost Company we should probably only include Boil's mention on the armor and clone trooper armor, will remove those two episodes from the Ghost Companies page. In general I would be careful with adding Mentioned only mentions to pages based on what another page says, always best to check if said thing was mentioned, or feel free to ask if you don't have that particular book/comic etc! --Lewisr (talk) 01:39, May 28, 2020 (UTC)

• Ah I see, mistakes happen even though it kinda wasn't one, as in you had good reason to add them to page! But its all good no worries --Lewisr (talk) 02:00, May 28, 2020 (UTC)

Acclamator appearancesEdit

Hey there, I just wanted to let you know that I was the one who edited the Star Acclimators' page. There were several of them in the Force Unleashed game for PS2 and wanted to cite them as having an appearance since they did. —Unsigned comment by 67.186.142.104 (talk • contribs).

RE: Bot editEdit

Hi, I saw your message on Mr Star Wars AminoRepublic's page and I just wanted to let you know that the bots used on the wiki cannot handle appearances properly, they are only designed for text replacement (e.g. adding archive links to templates). Shayanomer (talk) 17:57, June 2, 2020 (UTC)

Confederacy NavyEdit

Works for me. Thanks for letting me know. Would you say that I should make a specific template for the First Order Navy and Resistance navy or make one for each of their militaries specifically? --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 00:47, June 3, 2020 (UTC)

• Just one from each military as a whole then like the Confederacy's? --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 01:20, June 3, 2020 (UTC)
  • It does clear that up for me. Thanks! --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 01:37, June 3, 2020 (UTC)

Company ProductsEdit

Erebus, I talked with Lewisr and he said to add that category. VergenceScatter (talk) 19:27, June 3, 2020 (UTC)VergenceScatter

• I believe its okay, if you look at Category:Ghtroc Industries products and Category:Mon Calamari Shipyards products for example there are some named ships in those categories --Lewisr (talk) 19:37, June 3, 2020 (UTC)
  • I see what you're saying, though I see no harm in adding the products category to the individual starship's page if it is the only ship of that class. If the page is ever brought to status then the discussion can be had then during the nomination process as to what to do for definite --Lewisr (talk) 19:56, June 3, 2020 (UTC)

CountEdit

Hey! As I see you're adding Count of Serenno to TCW episodes, might also be worth adding House Serenno on top of Count and then Count of Serenno since the house appears through Dooku and he is a count through that house --Lewisr (talk) 20:19, June 3, 2020 (UTC)

• Ah fair enough, not your fault though! Lucky I told you before you got way into the TCW seasons haha or you'd have a lot to go back and add to :P --Lewisr (talk) 20:52, June 3, 2020 (UTC)
  • Hey! Haha I can imagine it is a real pain repeatedly adding the same kind of information onto a ton of pages so thanks for working through it. I don't see anything wrong from the ones I checked. You're too harsh on yourself, don't doubt that you did something wrong! --Lewisr (talk) 02:57, June 4, 2020 (UTC)
    • You just got WOTM, you're clearly doing some good :P I'm not really sure it would be considered a Separatist organization, as its just a family who had affiliations with them rather than it being an organization, hopefully that makes sense? --Lewisr (talk) 03:20, June 4, 2020 (UTC)

ProcessEdit

Wait until the appearances are done later today so that it isn't confusing later. --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 07:48, June 5, 2020 (UTC)

• • It's fine. I'm just trying to make it so that me or someone else isn't just clicking on sources again and again and not finding anything and getting bored and giving up later. --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 07:56, June 5, 2020 (UTC)
    • If I remember to, I will. --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 23:10, June 5, 2020 (UTC)
      • The appearances section for "Process" is done. --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 17:46, June 6, 2020 (UTC)
        • Since you got to add all of the appearances for "Process," I get to add all of the appearances for "Score" since I'm really excited for that episode. I'll let you take the final episode of the season "Connections." --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 1:56, June 7, 2020 (UTC)

SourcesEdit

Hey, I guess you would add those ones yeah! It does/or did appear to lack a sources section, so nice job on getting that filled out!--Lewisr (talk) 21:44, June 6, 2020 (UTC)

• The layout guide will help, but but generally its TCW episode guides upto S6, then old databank entries, then any new canon source in release date order, and then finally the new databank entries. Hopefully that helps! If not then maybe checking how Ahsoka Tano's sources are listed will help show --Lewisr (talk) 22:39, June 6, 2020 (UTC)
  • Those are the same as any new canon source like Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition, they go in order of when they were published. As that's 2013, that's likely to be the first thing you'd put after the old episode guides and old databank. Hope that helps! --Lewisr (talk) 23:17, June 6, 2020 (UTC)

† in infoboxesEdit

Hi, Erebus. I just wanted to ask your reasoning for adding † to every vehicle in battle infoboxes. To my knowledge, we've never done that on this site, those symbols were only reserved for individuals. I think you should discuss this topic in a Senate Hall thread before proceeding further. QuiGonJinn ^(Talk) 06:58, June 8, 2020 (UTC)

• No worries. Just keep in mind in the future that its always best to discuss such formatting changes that affect multiple articles, instead of proceeding with the changes on your own. QuiGonJinn ^(Talk) 07:42, June 8, 2020 (UTC)
  • I would personally only add them to individual people/droids that are mentioned in the infobox. Maybe non-sentient creatures as well (like the acklay, the nexu and the reek killed during the Battle of Geonosis). Using it for any other purpose is unneccessary, no matter whether all forces were destroyed or not. I've voiced my opinion in the SH thread, as well as a few other users. Give it a few days to see what the general consensus is. QuiGonJinn ^(Talk) 08:24, June 9, 2020 (UTC)
    • Sorry for the late response; I was away on a vacation with no Internet access. I think yes, you can go ahead and remove the daggers from the vehicles, since that was the general community response (albeit minimal). Still, I think this topic should be best codified in an official policy. If you have the desire, you can set up a Consensus track vote, and see if more people voice their opinion there. QuiGonJinn ^(Talk) 17:49, June 19, 2020 (UTC)
      • Yes, you add those headings yourself. You just outline the topic of the proposal and add the voting headers. Don't forget to cast your own support vote as the nominator. QuiGonJinn ^(Talk) 18:27, June 19, 2020 (UTC)

  • Its just to update the page to make sure the template is updated. Its not too necessary, as I think it automatically happens. No harm in it.--Editoronthewiki (talk) 03:40, June 12, 2020 (UTC)

RE:Desire for your opinionEdit

Hey! I think it looks great! I'd make a few minor changes, however. I think that the Starship lines section isn't necessary, and that they can go into their respective size classes. I would also get rid of the ship designation following the class name. So for example, the Star Dreadnought section would look something like this: Assertor-class · Executor-class (Executor I-class · Executor II-class) I would also arrange the order from top to down as Space station, Star Dreadnought, Star Destroyers, Frigates and Carriers, Cruisers and Corvettes, Transports, Other. I'd also move Class four container transport to the Transport section. Let me know if you need anything else and great job with the templates!--Vitus Infinitus^Talk 21:47, June 17, 2020 (UTC)

Navbox for Helmet CollectionEdit

Hello, is it possible for you to create a navbox for Star Wars Helmet Collection? I see that you're experienced in creating navboxes. Of course, you are free to do this whenever you like. Shayanomer (talk) 05:34, June 18, 2020 (UTC)

• Yeah, it will contain all 80 issues. This will help greatly with navigating the different issues. Shayanomer (talk) 05:39, June 18, 2020 (UTC)
  • Only the issue numbers will suffice. It should look similar to this, {{NewFFnav}}. Shayanomer (talk) 06:17, June 18, 2020 (UTC)
    • Excellent. Just one thing, I would suggest removing "Star Wars Helmet Collection issues" and putting "issues" next to the title. Shayanomer (talk) 06:40, June 18, 2020 (UTC)
      • Thanks a lot! Shayanomer (talk) 10:39, June 18, 2020 (UTC)

CA guideEdit

Ok so, purging clears the page's cache, it doesn't affect the article's contents. You can just refresh the page after creating the nomination page and placing it on the CAN page. After the nomination template is updated, the template will link the nomination page. It's quite a simple process so there's nothing to worry about.

However, I am concerned about your article of choice, Star Dreadnought. Are you sure you linked the correct article? Because this is a class of ships that is pretty unstable in terms of appearances, and so is not really suitable for a nomination. Also, make sure to familiarize yourself with the CAN rules before nominating. Good luck! Shayanomer (talk) 20:26, June 19, 2020 (UTC)

• My advice before I go to bed, novels are chock full of one-off articles, so that would be a good place to start looking for potential CAs. Shayanomer (talk) 20:49, June 19, 2020 (UTC)

Warning Edit

This is an absolutely ridiculous warning to issue to someone given the circumstances. That user in question has made exactly two edits to his user page in the last two months. While Wookieepedia's User page policy does state that a user page should not be someone's primary contributions to Wookieepedia, it also explicitly encourages users to develop their user page, which this user was in the process of doing. You have convinced me with this little stunt that you have neither the experience nor the proper understanding to know how or when to issue warnings and threats of blocks for Wookieepedia's more complex policies. At worst, you risk scaring off a potential editor over something as petty as this. The next time I see you issue a misbegotten warning like this to another user, I'm going to block you from editing. Leave the user warnings to administrators. That's why they're here. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:29, June 21, 2020 (UTC)

CivilityEdit

Hi Erebus Chronus,

In regards to your civility message, I wasn't intending to be harsh nor mean with 118.92.83.194. I was just quoting the Blocking template of Wookieepedia when people are blocked permanently for vandalism. I wasn't insulting the user, just giving him/her advise so he/she can contribute to the wiki and not be banned from it.

Hi Erebus. I've noticed that your navboxes can improve with the addition of some line breaks (<br />).
