The result of the debate was Oppose proposal. Imperators II(Talk) 15:43, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

We know that lightsabers are a huge part of the Star Wars universe. We know about the owners, but what about the users? As we've seen, many lightsabers are seen being wielded by different users. Examples: Han Solo using the Skywalker lightsaber in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Anakin Skywalker using Barriss Offee's lightsaber in The Wrong Jedi. I propose we add a users section on the lightsaber template it would be under the owner's section of the template. Thank You. Elijah Palmer (talk) 00:52, Jan 8 2023 (EST)

  1. We already have a policy dictating that lists of any non-essential kind should not be present on articles or infoboxes, and non-owner users of lightsabers fit that bill IMO—and I believe this has been discussed in the past. The lightsaber infobox template already has a section for its owners, and that's all it needs. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 06:03, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
  2. Agreed. I simply don't think it's necessary for the infobox to list such limited occurrences (such as Han using Luke's lightsaber to cut open the tauntaun) VergenceScatter (talk) 08:48, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
  3. Yes. Best to not confuse the need to cover all information in article prose for a need to cover everything in the infobox. Imperators II(Talk) 10:12, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

  5. Per above, it doesn't need to be listed in the infobox. Rsand 30 (talk) 14:01, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

  • To further clarify beyond my opposition vote, we still allow the non-owner users of a lightsaber to be mentioned on the relevant articles for both the user and the lightsaber—simply not in the form of a list. If such information is absent from a relevant article users are more than welcome to add it. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 06:05, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
