Forums > Senate Hall archive > SH:Linking to the Aurebesh Wiki

So, recently our very own Nightlily lightly revealed that she has an entire wiki dedicated to translating Aurebesh that appears on screen in Star Wars media. I then suggested we link to this wiki in in the "External links" section in our media articles, such as articles on movies and television episodes. This could be a helpful resource for many readers that doesn't exactly fit within the scope of what our articles should cover. It also keeps traffic within Fandom and helps promote an impressive project hosted by one of our very own! I've gone ahead and created a citation template using the wiki's favicon to be used in External links, which can be found at Template:AurebeshWiki.

  • That sounds like a good idea. And in light of the recent slew of TC'd articles about advertisements in Aurebesh, I would propose that we add something the following guideline somewhere: "Just because there are Aurebesh words somewhere doesn't mean they get an article" :) Jarhead002 (talk) (he/him) 02:11, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
    • I mean on the Wook. Having an article for them on the Aurebesh Wiki is the point Jarhead002 (talk) (he/him) 23:16, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Nightlily, you've done outstanding work on this!! Supreme Emperor Holocomm 04:33, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Seems like a great way for us to offer readers somewhere to look at translations without needing a page for every poster or sign. Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:36, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
  • I love this! Job well done! —SnowedLightning (they/them) 04:52, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
  • The front page of that wiki is not editable by ordinary users, but it says that it offers translations when it means transliterations (that is, it is converting one alphabet, rather than one language, to another), a misuage that several here have echoed, so it would be good for Nightlily or someone else with editing powers there to fix that.

    • Thanks, I've changed it to "transliterations." Possess you. That is what I say when people sneeze. 😉–Nightlily (sing your song) 16:03, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
