Here at Wookieepedia, emojis are used to identify posts quickly and easily, such as a sun for a Community Project, a newspaper for Star Wars news or even a friendly wave for a user's first post. This guide will teach you the ins-and-outs of the system so you can use them in your own posts!
Next to each emoji is a brief explanation or link of which posts they appear in.

And that's it! Keep in mind that one emoji at the beginning of your title should be enough. No need to clutter your post. Occasionally, two emojis are used to include multiple factors, such as a Star Wars News post about a TV show, but it's a good idea to stick with one until you get a better feel of the system.
You can also copy/paste any of these emojis into the Special:Search feature to find specific posts.
Happy posting, and may the Force be with you!
