- {{MultipleIssues}}: cleanup, expand (must include reason), Update, image, plot
- When to use Expand vs Update: If I am going to list out specific things that a page needs, then use expand.
- Ex:
{{Expand|intro expansion, biography, BTS}}
- However, if the page just needs general updating from sources, then use update template.

Other notes
- Used for links to pages that have an overview on one page with a full description on a separate page.
Example:
- as a redirect from Padmé Amidala.
- CardGameSet/SourceContents templete line can’t have the * in front of them in list of sources
- Targeting screen is the name for the screen on All Terrain Tactical Enforcer's Mass-driver cannon.[1] While sitting on the chair of Rex's AT-TE's mass-driver cannon, Ezra Bridger calls it a targeting scope.[2]
- Don't put {formerly} in any infoboxes, whether affiliations or other. As Star Wars takes place "in the past," everything technically already happened, so by extent everything is "formerly."
- Personality and traits vs Skills and abilities: Put in neither if it's just redundantly repeating a Bio detail, especially if it's just trying to expand on weakly-supported trait or ability.
- Meanwhile, if a certain action is shown as being a defining part of an individual's character and/or supports existing data about their character, then put it in P&T.
