Wookieepedia:Ruined FOREVER (history - links - logs - delete - protect)

Wookieepedia is not the most fitting of places for essays, and I do not see a point in Wookieepedia hosting such whatever-you-want-to-write pieces. Such should only be allowed on personal user pages and forums, not as extensions to an encyclopedia (as in being listed under the essays category, which is directly under Category:Wookieepedia).

However, I do see the value in critical essays very much relevant to Star Wars and this wiki, and would not suggest that the category be removed, and instead encouraged to be expanded upon by users, whereby submitted pieces self-nominated for being categorised as an essay would have its contents reviewed based on community guidelines and being a relevant, critical essay (no "essays" of this sort) before passing as an "essay".

Essentially, screen self-nominations to [Category:Wookieepedia essays] in order to prevent unfitting pieces showing up on Wookieepedia other than in user pages. - - -CIS roundel OOM 224 ༼༽{talk}༼༽ 23:48, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

  1. This had a sort-of purpose back in the day when the Knowledge Bank and Senate Hall were filled with daily activity and we got tired of telling people all the time that this isn't the place to complain about this or that. But we've evolved a lot in that time, and this page is a relic of an era of embarrassingly lax standards. Good riddance, I say. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:11, January 9, 2020 (UTC)

  10. This article could belong on a user page but certainly not on any official Wookieepedia pages. We can’t be seen as taking sides. The article sounds more like a YouTube rant. Andykatib 11:39, January 9, 2019 (UTC)
