Don't be afraid to make mistakes—be bold! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wookieepedian!

RE: 111
Hi Klaraza, interlanguage links to the Russian wiki are currently blocked on Wookieepedia due to the discriminatory way in which that wiki covers LGBTQ+ topics, which we do not wish to expose our readers to. This was a decision made by the Admin team, not solely by Immi Thrax, and so her resignation does not impact our continued blocking of those links. Ayrehead02 (talk) 20:35, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not quite sure what you mean Klaraza, none of our admins are Russian and I'm not sure what remark or warning you're talking about. This descision is unrelated to the situation in Ukraine, as I stated, it's based entirely on how the Russian wiki covers LGBTQ+ subjects. Ayrehead02 (talk) 19:39, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- I think you may have been misinformed about what happened as we've never had a Russian administrator on Wookieepedia and the last of our admins to get blocked here was blocked by Fandom for a separate matter that was unrelated to the delinking of the Russian wiki. The Russian wiki currently covers LGBTQ topics in a discriminatory fashion where they mis-gender trans and non-binary characters. There users have also shown general distain to any LGBTQ+ characters. This is the reason we delinked the Russian wiki and there are no plans to relink it until the content is covered in a non-discriminatory fashion. Ayrehead02 (talk) 17:17, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
