Next on the list of pages that probably need a bit of TLC: Wookieepedia:WookieeProjects.
There's some tweaks that're probably needed to bring in line with precedent/other CTs and such that I'd like to propose, a (updating) diff link shows the changes.
Some highlights:
- Table WP list (with much help from NBDani). It's all there alphabetically now since projects do somewhat float in and out of use, and whether something's truly inactive or not is a bit nebulous, so we may as well have them just in one list. As such, filled in the descriptions for the many that were missing them, and left a note that (despite being a policy page, and even though most policies aren't editable) the table itself should be free to additions and tweaks…and as such, if there's any small errors in it that I've put in, can be corrected summarily afterward.
- Further clarifying that there's both status-article-focused WPs and ones that aren't (Web/Collab/Stardust, for some).
- Clarity tweaking of the "How to start a WookieeProject" (also done by Dani)
- "Verified Wookieepedian" and @Wookieepedians are no longer synonymous in Wookieepedia:Discord, per the codification of the @Verified role, so clarified that WP channel access is currently only available to editors with the @Wookieepedians role. Per this CT passing, mentioning the WP banned members removal that's pursuant to the blocking policy, as well as mentioning the Project Data subpage, since WPs do not manually maintain nomination portfolios anymore.
Someday, we'll run out of stuff to fix. Today's not yet that day.—spookywillowwtalk 01:05, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

- Well done both of you, looks great. Wok142 (talk) 05:02, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- A much-needed improvement, nice work. A couple points:
- I really do think the order of the sections should be swapped so that the existing projects are presented first.
- "Most WookieeProjects will never come close to completing every single article within their purview." ehhhhhhh do we really need this? It's a bit depressing-sounding, may not even really be entirely accurate anymore in this bright new age we're in, and what's really the point of it anyway?
- Also, there's probably a better way to title the "Media project" vs "Certain group of articles" types of WPs but I don't have any good suggestions atm. Imperators II(Talk) 07:29, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sorted above; went with Zed's suggestion below on the last.—spookywillowwtalk 19:16, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Very nice.
Fingers already itching to make some tweaks on that table once this is adoptedImperators II(Talk) 19:44, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

- Great work, looks good! As for the "certain group of articles" thing, perhaps something like "shared topic" or "common attributes" or some such? (although admittedly one could say a media project could technically count under such a definition, so...) Zed42

- Tweaked; perhaps this works.—spookywillowwtalk 19:16, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Nice work Dani and spooky! Web get mentioned, youhou (blush)! Regarding "Smaller projects that can be realistically [...]", I considered the quote project as part of WP:COLLABORATION , so might not be the perfect example (hence the "Collaboration" in the title). And the 2020 web project is like the grandfather to WP:Web (and at the time I ignored Collaboration was a thing since 2013). Maybe this could be rewritten to push for similar projects to fall under Collab? NanoLuukeCloning Facility 15:12, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Tweaked the wording a bit to point it that direction; you're right, we can just sub-initiative everything into Collab by pinning it in the Discord usually.—spookywillowwtalk 19:16, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me! NanoLuukeCloning Facility 19:50, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
