I just wanted to raise the issue of renaming the Lothal rebels article another name like Spectres or crew of the Ghost. The consensus on the Talk:Lothal rebels seems to be in favor of moving it to the Spectres. I was thinking of doing it myself but I thought I wanted to here what the community has to say. Several times throughout Star Wars Rebels including the latest episode "Ghosts of Geonosis", the Lothal rebels are called the Spectres. They're been called "rebels" or "insurgents" but never the Lothal rebels. "An Inside Man" also makes it clear that they are not the only Lothal rebel cell even though they have a special attachment to Lothal. Would a Consensus Track be the appropriate place to resolve this once and for all? We'll also have to redirect all the Lothal rebel links to whatever new name we decide. Just wanted to bring Wookieepedia in line with the official Star Wars sources. Andykatib 23:02, January 10, 2016 (UTC)
- I agree that the renaming of the article is long overdue. The term "Lothal rebels" really is a vestige from Season One, and there are more than enough sources calling them "the Spectres." --Lelal Mekha

- Okay, if we do rename the article "Spectres". Is there a way of automatically redirecting all of the articles that link to Lothal rebels? There are over a thousand articles that link to the current namespace. Andykatib 01:15, January 10, 2016 (UTC)
- I believe one of the admins may be able to use a bot to do it, if they're willing to --Lewisr (talk) 23:16, January 9, 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, I suppose Cade's bot could do it. --Lelal Mekha (Audience Room) 23:17, January 9, 2017 (UTC)
- Okay, will get in touch with him about setting a bot to redirect the articles. Have to go for an afternoon appointment soon. Andykatib 23:45, January 9, 2017 (UTC)
- Plus, people will need to go through those articles to replace the references to Lothal rebels with Spectres. Andykatib 23:54, January 9, 2017 (UTC)
- We can do that at some point, managed to get in touch with User:Exiledjedi and he is using his bots to go through the redirects now --Lewisr (talk) 00:05, January 10, 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, this sounds good. Will chip in and help as well. Best regards. Andykatib 05:46, January 10, 2017 (UTC)
