This is something I mentioned on its Talk Page, but I figured bringing it up here maybe more beneficial.
As of right now, the exact release date of the 2018 edition of Star Wars: Complete Vehicles is not known. We know it came out at some point in September 2018. Because we don’t know the exact day, I have been placing as before other sources released in September (basically acting as if it came out September first) in sources lists in our articles (see TIE/ln space superiority starfighter for example) Is this where we should treat the book in source sections? Should we put it somewhere else?
I’m even unsure of it should be treated as canon as the last page notes that the canon system was rebranded in 2014 and that, to quote the book, “Complete Vehicles (first published in 2013) draws mostly upon information from the Expanded Universe that Lucasfilm now considers to be “Legends”...” (yes the parentheses was included in the book) Granted, one could argue that does not one hundred percent disqualify it from being canon as Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know has that type of disclaimer and the B-wing section mentions Quarrie and Hera Syndulla--Editoronthewiki (talk) 02:11, January 20, 2020 (UTC)
- From the Layout Guide: "If only an item's publication month and/or year are known, place that item at the end of the month or year. Example: If Source A was published on March 15, 2005 and Source B's publication date is only known as March 2005, list Source A first. However, if an item with only a known publication month and/or year is confirmed to be released by another source, place the first item at the date that the second source was released. Example: If Source A was published in December 2018, but Source B was published on December 15, 2018 and includes confirmation that Source A was released, then list Source A as if its publication date was December 15, 2018 and before Source B."

- Thank you. I suppose now all we have to do is address the canonicity question--Editoronthewiki (talk) 02:22, January 20, 2020 (UTC)
- User:Ayrehead02 has made a good case for it being canon by mentioning that the Porax-38 starfighter was changed to be a Rogue-class starfighter and that the Resistance has been mentioned on OT pages--Editoronthewiki (talk) 02:37, January 20, 2020 (UTC)
