message: I can't see any evidence that the SW fanon wikia is a parody of Wookieepedia. It's just what it sounds like: a SW fanon wikia. That said, I think the link can go. --SparqMan 18:15, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  SW fanon wiki 

message: If you think we should go into more detail on the SW fanon wiki and its problems with vandalism and trolls because you genuinely think that it's relevant to an article on Wookieepedia, please explain your reasons why on this talk page.  If you're just doing this to lobby for someone to appoint admins on the fanon wiki, remember that Wookieepedia and Wikipedia are completely separate from each other, and Wookieepedia only shares a hosting service with the fanon wiki, so any attempt to get people's attention here or on Wookieepedia won't help.  Moreover, doing so through vandalism and impersonation will just annoy people.
If you're just here to troll, well, there's no point to this message. —Silly Dan (talk) 14:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Delete-- Per Guy's statement "wikipedia is not a listing for fan wikis".  If you are going to have that rule, then be consistant about its enforcement. --Vix
* One could also say that Wikipedia is not a listing of university professors, musical groups, city streets, etc., etc.: but the Wikipedia community has developed formal and informal rules which determine which profs, bands, streets, and fan wikis get Wikipedia articles.  So, articles on Wookieepedia, Memory Alpha, and Comixpedia are kept, while others are deleted. —Silly Dan (talk) 21:55, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I can't believe that wookiepedia merged the Anakin Skywalker article with the Darth vader article. In terms of size, it would explode (believe me the content on wookiepedian articles like that are huge). Also, it is clear that Darth vader is different from Anakin Skywalker with or without the suit. Either way, HE said it himself that he is not Anakin Skywalker at anymore.
What i'm trying to say is, please, do not change the Wiki articles on the two articles that wookie merged. Probably some do****** did it for some reason to fit himself. Hmph, ever since they started removing the special articles links (in the from of like eg: this place is just a big desert. With some really unfriendly inhabitants] (i just made this up.), and now they removed this links, which not only do leaves people asking, "what is this referring to" But it makes them seem just lazy, unlike before. And to think they say it "clutters it up", Well, isn't the point of wookiepedia to be the most detailed and elaborate star wars wiki ever??
all I'm saying is, wookiepedia has changed man. it should go back into its original glory, to the time where the order and archives were completely detailed and elaborate, where the quotes linked to many articles themselves, and the links to there articles, where in sentences and simple words like "this". Traitors!!!! (supporters of the merge)

text: Yeah, why did Wookiepedia do that? I've just registered as a Wookiepedian. And indeed, the first thing I checked out was Darth Vader's page, but I was redirected to Anakin Skywalker. That's not cool. Moonwalkerwiz 04:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I had been reverting edits that removed these links, but now I'm not sure I think they belong either.
Are these sites actually related to Wookieepedia, or are they just other wikia hosted Star Wars sites?
If they aren't directly related to Wookieepedia, I don't see the point in having the links on an article about Wookieepedia.
I'm going to remove them in the next few days if there are no objections. --Onorem♠Dil 14:46, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

message: How similar are articles from Wookieepedia allowed to be to those on Wikipedia? Imperial Star Destroyer (talk) 21:56, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia takes an "out-of-universe" perspective, whereas Wookieepedia is "in-universe." A good starting point for pointers would be to look at the writing-about-fiction guidelines, along with some sci-fi-related features articles, like Padme Amidala. --EEMIV (talk) 05:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Similar 

message: I have added a  to the article. WP:RS says wikis cannot be used as reliable sources, and furthermore, the only reference which establishes some-notability is the link to Sci Fi. I would personally do more to establish said notability, as well as to improve the list of references, as Sci Fi is the only legitimate, from what I can see. Furthermore, the whole article should be cited for the claims it makes.
In similar spirit, I have removed the external links which are not to the English version, per WP:EL. --Izno (talk) 22:45, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: It's noted in this article that "'Legends' tab only includes information from sources released prior to the 2014 reboot." This isn't true due to the fact that the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic has seen several content releases after 2014, but the content of those releases is still placed under the Legends tab on the wiki. A good example is the Feast of Prosperity, which is an event that first appeared in 2019's Onslaught expansion but is still categorized under Legends. Any thoughts? --Bpjb (talk) 09:26, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Old Republic MMO in the Legends Tab 

message: Was wondering if it would be appropriate to have a short paragraph mentioning Fandom's decision to ban the deadnaming of transgender individuals in response to recent events on Wookieepeda. So far, the story has been covered by Comic Book Resources, io9, GameRevolution and a Spanish-language website called Tomatazos. I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning on the Wikipedia article. Just a disclaimer, I also edit on Wookieepedia. 
In late March 2021, Wookieepedia held a vote to ban deadnaming, which triggered debate within Star Wars fan circles around the naming of the non-binary artist Robin Provonost's article on the site. In response to the situation, Fandom, the wiki hosting service which hosts Wookieepedia, updated its terms of use policy to prohibit deadnaming across its websites. In an official statement, Fandom Director of Community Safety's Tim Quievryn stated: 
Just wanted to get feedback before I posted it on the Wikipedia page. Have also done it on the Fandom and Deadnaming articles. Look forward to hearing what others think. Andykatib 08:05, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deadnaming 

message: Everything under this heading is, in my opinion, a forum argument that is being given drastically undue weight. It's sourced entirely to the wiki itself (primary, user-generated) with the exception of a single article on a niche Russian gaming news site. Even if we assume said site is reliable (it's never been brought up at RSN), a single fluff piece is not enough coverage to justify inclusion, especially not an entire subheading.
The IP who reverted my removal asked for a third opinion ("ask moderators to decide" in their words) but I wanted to bring it up here before asking anywhere else. Input is appreciated, thank you. Moogle.png (kupo) 16:00, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. Firstly I thank you for opening this discussion. Secondly, I apologize for my possibly bad English, it is not my native language. Thirdly, actually I had my Wiki account long ago (many years ago to be honest), but I am no Wiki user anymore so I forgot my nickname and password, that's why I have to redact anonymously. Now let me answer.
#Actually, IXBT is rather reliable source on Russian Wiki. I don't know if it is valuable here, in English Wiki, but I think it can be.
#As I can see about conflict in English Wookieepedia in 2021-2022 when 2 administrators there were permanently blocked and new administration staff even apologized to non-binary artist Robin Pronovost you (I mean authors) used sources from English Wookieepedia forum and discussions. So I think, Russian and English Wookieepedia sources can be accepted as important ones here.
#Situation with these changes in modern English Wookieepedia's policy is very closely related to the conflict that followed with Russian Wookieepedia after that.
#As I wrote in the article there was noticeable reaction to that conflict in Russian social media indeed, so I can use it as source too, if English Wiki's source politics allow that.
#"a single fluff piece is not enough coverage to justify inclusion" - I have to remind, that your information about banning 2 administrators from English Wookieepedia was based only from 1 source.
