Welcome, Imperators III!
|
Hello, Imperators III, and welcome to Wookieepedia! We hope you like the place and choose to join us in building the best Star Wars encyclopedia there is. Here are some things you should know:
New to wikis? Don't worry, we were all new once. Our welcome page has everything you need to get started, and the Jundland Wastes sandbox can be used for test edits. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—be bold! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wookieepedian! If you have any questions, you can consult our FAQ, ask a question in the Senate Hall forum, visit our official IRC channel, or leave me a message on my talk page. |
Welcome Everyone!
This is my message wall, feel free to chat to me whenever you wish. Happy editing! :) If possible sign your comments with 4 tildes (~~ ~~)
Editing
Hello, and welcome to Wookieepedia! The place where you can freely experiment with editing is Wookieepedia:Jundland Wastes. Note that the Jundland Wastes sandbox is periodically wiped clean, so if you want a more permanent place for experiments, you can create user subpages (also called workbenches), by creating User:Imperators III/Experiment or User:Imperators III/Workbench or whatever else title fits you. For editing help and tips, see our policies, including the ones linked at the above welcome template, as well as our newcomers portal. Hope this helps, Imperators II(Talk) 09:02, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Eras
Hello. If you need help on how to format the Eras template, there are instructions and definitions of the template's fields on its page here. Not all fields are necessary—for example, Canon articles will often only contain the base template. Feel free to ask if you need any further assistance. Zed42 (talk) 09:43, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Duplicate articles
You should not create new articles for subjects that already have articles. If you wish to contribute information of stormtroopers to Wookieepedia, then please edit the stormtrooper article instead of creating a new page. Duplicate articles have no place on Wookieepedia. Thank you. - - -OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 14:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Edits
Please be more careful with your edits. You've removed a reference on Venator I-class Star Destroyer without explanation. Also, please note that it is official policy that Wookieepedia articles use American spelling. Thank you. - - -OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 14:24, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Please stop
Please stop creating duplicate articles. Any information on minetroopers should go to the existing minetrooper article. If "Mine Trooper" is used anywhere, then the minetrooper article should be moved to that more formal title per Wookieepedia's naming policy instead of creating a new page. - - -OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 13:19, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Then please check whether a page exists already beforehand. You can do so by searching for the article using the search bar. Please also follow the Attribution and Sourcing policies. Wookieepedia's welcome page will help you get started on the wiki, thank you. - - -OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 13:30, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
Minetrooper
That looks fine for the most part! Just remember to cite information with a reference as I have done here. For future reference, you can use this guide for inserting references. Just note that the guide is referring to the source editor, (you can switch to the editor here) which allows you to edit the code of a page directly to ensure proper formatting. - - -OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 14:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
Maintenance templates
I don't see why Cleanup is needed for The Vow of Silver Dawn. A good rule of thumb is to reserve maintenance templates such as Cleanup and Citation for articles that requires a drastic overhaul/verification. As you can see here and here, Wookieepedia's maintenance categories are quite bloated, so it's best to keep the numbers down. Thanks. - - -OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 12:10, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
