So, another of my recent projects was an effort to greatly standardize our article titles in Category:Differing article titles, which brought up another issue in Discord—namely, there are quite a lot of pages where the Legends article occupies a more common title that, in all honesty, should really be a redirect to the more specific canon title. Some examples:
- Galactic City vs. Imperial City, as the Canon Imperial City never got renamed back to Galactic City
- Imperial Military Police vs. Military Police (Galactic Empire) - the Canon one has (as of yet) never been explicitly referred to with the Imperial prefix
- Alliance Starfighter Corps vs Rebel Alliance Starfighter Corps - the inverse of above
- 99 vs Clone 99
- Ministry of Economic Development vs Republic Ministry of Economic Development
And on and on. There are actually about 40 or so pages, as you can see here, that have the Legends page at /Legends due to the Canon page later being moved to a different title other than the root, and frankly, I think that this is how we should treat all cases where the Legends title is a valid redirect to the Canon one. This is what I like to call the Palpatine-Bossk Law in the Naming Policy:
- One exception to this rule is film characters. Applicable Legends film-character articles shall utilize the /Legends suffix to allow all relevant alternate names and name variations to redirect to their Canon versions (example: Palpatine redirects to Darth Sidious, while Palpatine/Legends is the Legends article title).
My proposal, which I'll take to CT if I don't get too much pushback, is that we should adjust this "exception" clause to apply to all cases, and not just film characters. It's been ten years since the Canon/Legends split, and by this point, most people are coming here for canon content, so it's beneficial to our readers to explicitly denote that it's /Legends. This will also greatly help our editors, because in my earlier standardization work, I discovered a ton of cases where Canon pages were linking to the wrong continuity for common articles like vibroknife because our pages were at "vibroknife" and "vibro-knife" with no way to tell via autosuggest which one was the Legends page. While this would affect most of the differing-title pairs, it will also have wording explicitly targeting Category:Differing article titles/Exact, the about 200 page pairs where the Legends page is identical to the Canon page give or take some capitalization or special characters.
As proposer, I'll gladly take on the work to move the pages, but I wanted to get some feedback before it went to CT. Cade

- Probably for the best, aye. Just to be clear, under this proposal, will Legends articles with no canon counterparts stay where they are (e.g. Jagged Fel and Darth Krayt) or be moved to /Legends too? And what about Ajunta Pall, who does have a canon counterpart but one without a name: Unidentified rogue Jedi? OOM 224 (he/him/they) 16:24, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Correct - canon articles with no counterparts will remain unaffected at this time. As for Ajunta Pall, the name isn't a canon name in any way, so it would also remain unaffected. The intent is for when you use autosuggest for a name that is valid in both continuities, it should clearly tell you which one is /Legends. Cade

- To be clear, is this about redirects from names and terms that are actually used in canon, or simply all potentially applicable names and terms? Imperators II(Talk) 18:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
