    I'd advise against that.

    Wookieepedia has more than enough policies.

    Thematic opening Wookiepedia quote article question, I noticed the Snoke entry starts with this bit

    "You wonder why I keep a rabid cur in such a place of power? A cur's weakness, properly manipulated, can be a sharp tool."
    ―Snoke, on General Hux, to Kylo Ren[src]

    But, personally, does anyone thing that would be better placed in Hux's entry (which has his whole Last Day of the Republic) speech quote. Just cuz Snoke be talkin specifically bout Hux there.

    That's something to bring up on the actual site. Mind you, there are some stick in the muds who insist on doing it their way, which doesn't make sense in the long run.

    See also: "It's canon because it was in an FFG book."

    Makes sense to me. Any quote you'd like to suggest to replace it, or just revert it to what it was before TLJ?

    Honestly for me the most Snoke-iest quote about himself is "Pathetic child! I cannot be betrayed, I cannot be beaten!" or just simply "Give me everything." And I'd vote for the rabid cur quote to be on Hux's article.

    I REALLY like that first one you've suggested. Then again, that quote it used elsewhere in the same article, so maybe the second one. Also, how isn't that Snoke quote on the Hux article? I should be able to get the Hux one done with no trouble.

    All I know for sure is, "Snoke-iest" is a fun word to say (try it yourself!) and is going straight into the old vocabulary toolbox and into regular use. Thanks BigAl6ft6!

    Added these quotes to the articles; let's see if they stick.

    Since it's been asked about here, the new Solo theme is now live on the site.

    It looks great, as usual! Not that I see them often as a Monobook user, though.

    So is it just a coincidence that the Wook's current featured article is Bria Tharen?

    If not, that's kinda cool.

    Ugh, I hope Wikia (or some enterprising user) introduces an alternative to the current skin. There's so much wasted space if you're not a mobile user.

    Very funny, jSarek. ;)

    Rest assured Coherent Axe, our admins are trying to find a workable solution that will not violate Wikia's rules. You can track their progress in the appropriately-named SH:Wikia's killing Monobook (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:SH:Wikia's_killing_Monobook?t=20180527171829) thread. They've got some promising results back that you can already enable on your end, assuming you have a Wikia account.

    As much as I miss Monobook, I'm probably going to stick with Wikia/Oasis. Seeing articles as our average user sees them is ultimately more important than actually liking the interface that I'm using, I think.

    Learning to navigate that skin is going to be an interesting challenge, though.

    We're working on adding a button to display an article in the standard Oasis, and it already previews in basic Oasis only.

    For the record, you can make whatever changes you want in your personal CSS/JS files. As long as you're not doing anything malicious there, personal CSS changes to use PseudoMonobook don't violate FANDOM's Terms of Use. Only site-wide changes would.

    I still don't understand how these articles are structured. Lego entries are canon, yet also non-canon.

    You and me both. I believe the community voted for LEGO articles to recive their own "tabs" a while ago, but it never ended up getting implemented for some reason. - ~~~~
