Forwarding from Forum:SH:Affiliation field usage. TLDR; minimizing stuff like this; or stuff like, say, listing a few hundred organizations in the affiliations of alcohol only 'cause one member of an organization drank it once. See the SH as for why certain templates are exempted; this can also be re-CT'd if need be to add/remove some, but I'm inclined to agree that these exceptions are ones that either need a more defined set of clauses than this, or to just not have it fall under this for now.

For the LG to be added as a sub-bullet of "Infoboxes"

"The "Affiliations" field of all infoboxes except for character infoboxes, individual ship and vehicle infoboxes, and droid series infoboxes should be limited to explicitly stated affiliations unless the article's subject was otherwise created for, widely-used by, or culturally significant to the organization or group in question."

  1. That code cylinder edit was what sparked this off...and in same vein as Bonzane's affiliations for bounty hunters CT, let's please kill the bloat of affiliations that really are not affiliations in any true sense of the word... ie, "I ate an egg once, therefore, my crew is affiliated with eggs!"—spookywillowwtalk 02:45, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
