Talk: King321123

Welcome, King321123!

Hello, King321123, 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:

Wookieepedia is the Star Wars encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but we are not a general Star Wars forum nor an all-inclusive trivia site.
In-universe articles are written in past tense and from a neutral point of view. Our Manual of Style and Layout Guide form the basis for writing on Wookieepedia.
All additions to Wookieepedia must be sourced and attributed to a reliable, official source. Fan fiction is welcome on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki.
As a registered Wookieepedia user, you are entitled to a user page and a unique signature. Eventually you will also gain the right to vote on community matters.
Remember to be nice to your fellow Wookieepedians. Avoid making personal attacks and engaging in edit wars. Using multiple accounts is not allowed.
Talk pages and forums are part of the public record and comments on them, including your own user talk page, should be left intact. Remember to sign your comments by typing four tildes, like this: ~~~~

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 and Discord channels, or leave me a message on my talk page.
May the Force be with you! —Lewisr (talk) 04:40, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Redlinks

Hey there! You only need to add the redlink template to pages, it will automatically then place it in Category:Articles with an excess of redlinks, Thanks! Lewisr (talk) 03:32, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Alright, thank you. I just saw that and will be sure to add it on new pages. Also, thank you for fixing the old ones. King321123 (talk) 03:43, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

No worries! Just to let you know, the redlink template should only be added to pages with 5 or more redlinks Lewisr (talk) 04:11, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Right, thanks King321123 (talk) 00:26, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to make clear that adding {{Redlink}} to a page automatically adds it to the redlinks category. There is no need to manually add it, as you have been doing. SilverSunbird (talk) 00:54, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay, wait never mind. Y'all thanks for the help just saved me a lot of extra work. King321123 (talk) 01:18, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey, per above, pages should only be placed in Category:Articles with an excess of redlinks if it has 5+ redlinks, so pages like X-Wing: Books 7-8 wouldn't need it. VergenceScatter (talk) 03:48, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I see what you are saying, but the template says you have to have 5 links, but when you click on a category it does not say anything about needing to have more than 1. So, my guess is they don't want you to use the template because it takes up a lot of space for something so little. But, you can use the category for like 1 or more redlinks. But that is just a guess, I don't know for certain. King321123 (talk) 04:02, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

- No, that's not what the template is used for. It is to indicate that there are a large number of redlinks on a page, not that there are any redlinks on the page at all. It doesn't help anyone to put every single page that has any redlinks into the maintenance category. That's what the 5+ rule exist. I'd say it's also generally advisable to go with what the template says over what the category does. If you'd like to try to change the way the template is used, feel free to start a thread in the Senate Hall, but until then please do not go against the way that the community uses the template.
