Notes:	Spam filtering: Have to be autoconfirmed to add any external links. This will have the useful side effect of stopping noobs from creating useless fansite pages also. won't trigger unless the user is actually adding links now (it used to trigger if there were any links on the page at all) Implementing new whitelisted filter as per Mofference. Adding barnesandnoble.com (useful as source on book articles) - MJ Exempting Canadian and UK versions of Amazon (a Canadian link just got caught in the filter) - MJ Trying to fix problem of filter triggering on Wookieepedia:Spamfilter problems. - MJ Adding fantasyflightgames.com - MJ Exempting starwars.lego.com, and properly escaping dots. - MJ Adding Rebel Legion website; maintenance of the Rebel Legion article was being hindered by this filter. - MJ Adding starwarsradiodrama.com (operated by the license holder for the radio dramas). - MJ And now highbridgeaudio.com for linking to starwarsradiodrama.com, the latter of which is unable to create a direct link to a specific page within the site. - MJ Exempting 501st article to better allow maintenance of that article. - MJ Adding our preferred interlanguage partners that aren't on Wikia, so that interlanguage links can be added properly. --MJ + biggsdarklighter.com, apparently operated by Biggs' actor, for use on Biggs' article and the actor's article. Also remove exemption for [[List of fan sites]], which was deleted by consensus six months ago. --MJ + shotglassdigital.com, host website of notable fan podcast [[RebelForce Radio]], for use on that article --MJ Temporarily whitelist starwars.fandom.com until Fandom fixes added_links and all_links --ecks
