Following the SH, I'm proposing that we add the following policy as the sixth bullet point under the "Affiliations" (fifth) bullet point in the infobox section of Wookieepedia:Layout Guide/In-universe:

"Organizations and groups should not be listed under the "Affiliations" field of infoboxes if the article's subject only had a temporary business relation, such as the clients of bounty hunters and mercenaries; unless the affiliation is explicitly stated, such as the "Affiliations" section in the Databank and other reference materials."

This is done due to the fact that, while not as common anymore, the issue still rise from time to time where editors (typically anons) would list organizations/groups under the "Affiliations" field along with the caption tag "as mercenary" or something along those lines, despite it being a temporary business relation. With this policy, it'll minimize infobox bloat and also provide a more consistent practice in the long run. Bonzane10 Bonzane10-Sig 08:09, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

  3. I wouldn't trust the Databank or other reference works to actually put thought-through info in their affiliation fields for this type of characters either, but eh, fair I guess. Imperators II(Talk) 08:26, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
