Welcome, Slider1983!

Hello, Slider1983, 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 channel, or leave me a message on my talk page. May the Force be with you! —VergenceScatter (talk) 16:49, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Insider numbering

Hi, Slider. I don't really see the problem with the numbering, it clearly begins with Star Wars Insider 93 and hasn't stopped since then. Therefore, issues 198, 199, and 200, must be the 106th, 107th, and 108th, respectively. Eduardo (talk) 18:39, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I understand the confusion, because the math is not as simple as taking 93 from 200 (200 - 93 = 107). In this case, we are also counting Insider 93 as the first issue, so Insider 200 must be the 108th published by Titan. In other words, Insiders 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99 and 100 are issues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 respectively, right? Therefore, if Insider 100 is the 8th, then Insider 200 must be the 108th. You can count them one by one if you like, it also confirms what I am saying. Cheers, Eduardo (talk) 23:49, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Re: Star Wars Insider

Hey, Slider! For Insider articles, only the legacy numbering really matters. If we tried to add Titan's publishing history to every article, we'd be running in circles trying to count the issues properly, and it would be needlessly confusing for readers. (Plus, issue 201 isn't actually Titan's 109th issue, if you take special/annual issues into account.) I understand that other Insider pages are currently keeping count, but I think that's a tradition we can retire. The numbering info is best served at the Titan Magazines and Star Wars Insider pages, imo. - Cwedin^(talk) 21:56, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
