- Real-world person articles. Ratified a formal layout for real-world person articles, to be found at Wookieepedia:Layout Guide/Out-of-universe#Real-world person articles, which notably includes the following provision: "With the exception of birth and death information, this section will limit its focus exclusively to the person's Star Wars contributions without discussing other unrelated career achievements."
- Sockpuppet policy. Approved rewrite of Wookieepedia:Sockpuppetry
- Upload policy. Approved overhaul of Wookieepedia:Images
- Talk page policy. The following items were added to Wookieepedia:Talk page policy (amendment in italics):
- "Please do not create a Talk page solely to add {{Talkheader}} and/or WookieeProject talk page templates."
- "Article talk pages may not be used as forums for consensus votes, such as to determine an article's main infobox image. Such consensus votes must take place through the Consensus track or at a Mofference."
- Themed entertainment policy. General ideas for such a policy were discussed, to be presented in a future Consensus track forum.
- FAN Redux. The following amendments were made to the Inquisitorius Redux system:
- Inquisitorius Redux reviews on the Featured article nominations page will now be restricted to Inquisitorius votes only
- Four (4) Inquisitorius votes will be needed to successfully pass a Redux review on the FAN page
- Reduxed articles will be subject to removal if objections are not addressed after a period of two (2) weeks
- Linking. The following will be added to Wookieepedia:Manual of Style#Linking:
- General rules
- A subject should be linked once upon its first mention in the article's infobox, once upon its first mention in the article's intro, and once upon its first mention in the article's main body.
- Articles within a specific continuity should only link to other articles within that continuity, with the only exception being the article's "Behind the scenes" section (example: [[Yoda]] should not link to [[Yoda's species/Legends]]).
- Articles should avoid redirecting links by correcting these links to point to an article's actual title (example: [[Alliance to Restore the Republic|Rebel Alliance]], not [[Rebel Alliance]]).
- In-universe articles should not link to real-world Wikipedia articles, except in the "Behind the scenes" section.
- Formatting
- Always capitalize pipelinks (example: [[Star system|system]], not [[star system|system]]).
- When pipelinking, always place all characters inside the link brackets. Examples:
- Italics: [[Subjugator (Imperial II-class)|''Subjugator'']], not ''[[Subjugator (Imperial II-class)|Subjugator]]''
- Possessives: [[Anakin Skywalker|Darth Vader's]], not [[Anakin Skywalker|Darth Vader]]'s
- Plurals and suffixes: [[Galactic Empire|Imperials]], not [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]]s; [[Death|killing]], not [[Death|kill]]ing
- Avoid unnecessary pipelinks that do not point to a different title from the term being linked (example: [[Luke Skywalker]]'s, not [[Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker's]]).
- When linking to Wikipedia articles or pages on other Fandom wikis, use the appropriate pipelinking parsers (examples: [[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]], [[W:c:swg:Portable Deep Fryer|Portable Deep Fryer]]).
- General rules
- Fandom. Wookieepedia policy pages will be updated to change all instances of "Wikia" to "Fandom"
- New canon subjects. Wookieepedia:Notability policy#New canon subjects will now read: "Subjects from the six original films and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film and television series that received official names in the Legends continuity shall not be given Canon articles until they receive official names in Canon source material. Once an official Canon name is established for these subjects, an article may be created for them."
- Image consensus votes.
- With regard to item 4 (Talk page policy changes), the following will be removed from Wookieepedia:Consensus: "Certain article talk-page votes, which may be held on a case-by-case basis to determine such particulars as an article's main infobox image"
- The following will be added (amendment in italics): "In order to overturn a previous consensus resolution, a renewed vote must be held with a voter participation equal to or greater than the original discussion. Note that this does not apply to modifications of a previous resolution, which is defined as any change to an existing policy that is not a straight repeal. Renewed votes to change an article's main infobox image are specifically not subject to this requirement."
- Additionally, article infobox images may be changed post-consensus without the need for a renewed consensus vote if there is no contention to the change, which will effectively render the original consensus decision moot.
