Talk: MJL

Welcome, MJL!

Hello, MJL, 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:

Wookiees-Transparent

New to wikis? Don't worry, we were all new once. Our help pages will get you 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.
May the Force be with you! —Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:31, December 31, 2019 (UTC)

@Toprawa and Ralltiir: Thank you! Wanna do me a favor and move Unidentified Mandalorian clan to Unidentified Mandalorian clan (Cold War)? MJL (talk) 21:37, January 2, 2020 (UTC)

Clan Rook Leader

You didn't need to add a separate section for the note, you just needed to add it as the reference after 1 BBY. Apologies, I did mean to go back and re-add it but I've done it now! Also because you currently don't have 50 mainspace edits that's why you can't upload images, once you get to 50 then all is good --Lewisr (talk) 20:50, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

  • No worries! I removed the information since it was pretty unnecessary to add it, I suspect if you did nominate it for status it would have been removed/suggested to have been removed either way. Fair enough though, good luck with it if you do get it that far! --Lewisr (talk) 21:11, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

Clan Rook member

Are we really going to say that she isn't the leader of Clan Rook despite having authority to pledge her clan to the Mandalorian resistance? Literally, the only guy who didn't have that authority was just stating the obvious. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 05:59, January 12, 2020 (UTC)

  • I know it won't be the popular thing to say, but she isn't confirmed to be the leader. She could just have the authority to say that they follow or be someone's messenger. Perhaps other users disagree on this. However, thanks to what I think is her entry in the behind the scenes guide, I think you could call the page Unidentified Clan Rook warrior.--Editoronthewiki (talk) 06:04, January 12, 2020 (UTC)
    • But then what is the point of adding the {{Conjecture}} tag? It's been confirmed that she is a member, but it can be assumed she is the leader.
      I also wouldn't rely to heavily on the Concept Art, since that early character draft had blue eyes but the one in the show has brown eyes (thus showing things were changed). –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 20:59, January 12, 2020 (UTC)
      • You need that tag because her name is not confirmed, so we need to put “Unidentified.” Unless something is said in the credits or you put some form of explanation in the behind the scenes, we can’t adsume she is the leader.--Editoronthewiki (talk) 21:21, January 12, 2020 (UTC)
        • The official credit is "Lead Rook Warrior" –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 21:38, January 12, 2020 (UTC)
          • Remember to write your edits in past tense by the way. That’s wiki policy.--Editoronthewiki (talk) 21:49, January 12, 2020 (UTC)

Re:Legends and Canon

Hello. Please see this. Thank you. Imperators II(Talk) 20:36, January 23, 2020 (UTC)

Mando project

I've never really joined a project, but maybe I would join a mandalorian project. I would recommend you ask a mod for advice, as they may say Mandos fall into a preexisting project, but I think the project is a good idea. I'm going to be busy over the next few days, but I might be able to help with articles eventually.--Editoronthewiki (talk) 18:52, January 26, 2020 (UTC)

  • Just letting you know I'm totally down to join this project if it means starting The Mandalorian nominations. UberSoldat93 (talk) 19:45, January 28, 2020 (UTC)
    • Regarding this project, please refer to item 7 of the Talk page policy. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:51, January 29, 2020 (UTC)
      • Rats, thank you for letting me know. I'm going to update the guidance to make that more clear. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 05:52, January 29, 2020 (UTC)

WP:MANDO

I've joined the project. However, I wasn't expecting you to start it this early. I am currently waiting for reference material before I start The Mandalorian nominations, so I'm free to assist on other tasks like building an article or checking sources. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:34, January 29, 2020 (UTC)

  • My goal is to ensure we have all the infrastructure in place before The Clone Wars: Season Seven airs. Feel free to drop in whenever you are most comfortable.
    Either way, would you like to be listed as a founding member? –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 19:32, January 29, 2020 (UTC)
    • Sure. UberSoldat93 (talk) 06:44, January 30, 2020 (UTC)
      • Another thing, would it be possible for you to become a regular member of the wiki's IRC chat? More activity there is always welcome. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:02, January 30, 2020 (UTC)
        • Just a suggestion, but I think you should change the project's symbol to the mythosaur since it's a part of Mandalorian history as a whole. The Rook symbol only represents one clan. UberSoldat93 (talk) 20:03, January 31, 2020 (UTC)

Talk page creation

Hello. Please see rule No. 7 of our Talk page policy. Thank you. Imperators II(Talk) 08:15, January 29, 2020 (UTC)

  • Ah, I just saw that you had already been messaged about this. My bad. Imperators II(Talk) 08:27, January 29, 2020 (UTC)
    • All good! You're just doing your job. :) –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 18:30, January 29, 2020 (UTC)

RE: urlstatus

Well, removal of a webpage is not the only issue. As webpages are subject to change at any time, the relevant section could have been removed from a "live" page. By putting the archival link before the original one, readers are able to see the webpage as how it exactly used to be when it was added as a reference in the article. All this aside, such template changes should be discussed at the template's talk page first. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk)

Backup links

When citing external links in articles, it is now Wookieepedia policy (see Rule 10) to provide an archival backup link. Please go back and do so on the "Luke Harrington" article you recently created. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 06:25, January 31, 2020 (UTC)

  • Done. That policy needs to be updated, though. Webcite isn't accepting new archive requests, so I'd probably switch that to Archive.is or something. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 02:44, February 1, 2020 (UTC)

The Mandalorian project

We just started a project for The Mandalorian. I just had to copy some of WP:MANDO's formatting to make the project page. UberSoldat93 (talk) 11:34, February 3, 2020 (UTC)

  • Awesome! How tied together do you think the two projects should be? I imagine there will be some overlap, so we could do something like create a joint-template for talk pages and such (you're also free to use the MANDO forums). –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 17:52, February 3, 2020 (UTC)-
    • There will obviously be some overlap, but we can just use two templates if an article falls under both projects. UberSoldat93 (talk) 17:54, February 3, 2020 (UTC)
      • Hey, I would suggest if the Mandalore project has its motto changed for the talk header so that it doesn't clash with the Mandalorian project. UberSoldat93 (talk) 16:16, February 27, 2020 (UTC)
        • Oh, word. What do you think it should be? You're welcome to make any change as you see fit. :) –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 16:28, February 27, 2020 (UTC)
          • Any quote that encompasses them as a whole basically. UberSoldat93 (talk) 16:30, February 27, 2020 (UTC)
