Lit Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki

So does wookipedia have a forum too? I dont get how people can fight over a website that is mostly focused on distinguishing between z 95 headhunters and arc 170s

 

Sinre Edit: I'm drawing a line under this. No more.

 

So this isn't limited to Wookieepedia specifically, but I've been wondering: does anyone know if there's an extension out to let me go back to actually being able to click on files on Fandom wikis, without getting automatically redirected to whatever main page they're on? It's a real nuisance if I just want to look at an image.

 

You need an account apparently. Whenever I get logged out, it tends to happen quite often.

 

This never gets old

Is it only an issue on mobile?

 

So this may seem stupid but I have a question and I couldn’t easily find an answer. I was looking at Marc Thompson’s wook page and I am confused by his bibliography. It seems weirdly incomplete. I know for a fact he has done tons of the audio books I have been listening to recently. A majority in fact. But only his work up to 2013 is cited and then after that only the audio dramas are cited. Aphra, Dooku Lost, Battle of Jedha. Is this done on purpose or is this just not complete?

I can't work out what the difference is supposed to be between the "Bibliography" section and the "Audio works" section. Honestly the former seems superfluous, as the "Audio works" section looks to be complete, including everything after 2013. Probably why the cleanup tag is at the top of the page --- the incomplete "Bibliography" section doesn't need to be there at all.

 

I don't understand why the Wook doesn't just combine the film adaptions into a bracket section e.g. (novel / junior novel / comic adaption / audiobook), it'd reduce the size a great deal.

Then again, with how they have avoided lists for relevant information recently on battle and squadron and unit pages, combined with putting "Units" in a separate section to "Strength" which has become a participants list and filled with irrelevant information most of the time itself. The Wook has done strange things recently.

 

Oh you guys are correct the audio works is complete.

@Jeff_Ferguson I agree it’s very redundant to have both.

 

Yeah we need to remember all that is done voluntarily. What the people who are actively updating the Wook are most interested in is what will get the most attention.

 

But at the same time if someone who does care about that but isn't an active editor tried to make a huge update/reorganization of that page they'd probably be met with a litany of notes about how they didn't format things properly. One classic Wikipedia principle that I think wook culture still needs to work on is Be Bold--the attitude that it's better for a newbie/casual editor to add new information incorrectly than not at all.

 

People provide notes? I thought they just revert changes without providing any explanation. )

 

Bingo. Being bold is a good thing, and if it results in some formatting errors, hey, no harm done, some established editors should helpfully make some edits to fix those formatting errors instead of just reverting them. Around the time I stopped being an active editor, it was just revert, revert, revert. I hope they've made some strides away from that mindset, but like with all things Wook, I won't be surprised if they haven't.

 

I actually forget why I stopped editing wook pages. Don’t have access to that account anymore so it’s not like I’ll pick it up again anyway

 

I wonder if Wookieepedia would ever leave Fandom. it really is a **** show.

Wowpeida recently voted to leave.

 

lol just saw that hello there is trending for some reason.

 

Top three articles right now:

1. Baylan Skoll
2. Abeloth
3. Hello There

...guys wtf.

 

The Legends Maul article says, “Later stripped of his black Nightbrother markings, Maul was left solely red-skinned. Agonizing Sith tattoos were applied personally by Darth Sidious”

I think this an example of a “solution” that’s worse than the “problem”. They would be better off just saying that Maul not having tattoos when Sidious first discovered him and Sidious giving him tattoos are no longer canon like they do with Valorum’s death in the Republic comics and Grevious killing Adi Gallia.

 

TCW contradicts Clone Wars Multimedia Project Darth Plagueis Novel have elements of TCW but the EU works better with the Multimedia Project being the Legends Version of the Clone Wars while TCW being Disney Canon Universe Only

 

This is a page? This is a page. OMG.

 

I would like to know the Source of Wookieepedia saying that Vima Sunrider taught or trained the Exile
