  • Does the adventure really say it "can" take place during that time period? Because imo if it does the date ref is really not worth including there and you can just stick to it being set during the GCW. Imperators II(Talk) 20:34, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
    • Here is what it says: "It can take place between the films A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back as well as after the film Return of the Jedi." (French: "Il peut aussi bien se passer entre les films Un Nouvel Espoir et L'Empire Contre-Attaque qu'après le film Le Retour du Jedi") If you think it is best to omit it I can remove it. Outer Shell Electrons (talk) 20:40, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
  • So... is the article located at the plural form of the creatures' name? And if yes, why? :P Imperators II(Talk) 13:29, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
    • In the magazine it is only ever referred to in the plural form, never in the singular, so that's how I've used it since it is the only way it's written. Outer Shell Electrons (talk) 13:44, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
      • Could you give the exact quote please? Because as it is right now it goes against the Layout Guide, which mandates using singular titles (except for things that have plural-only names like binoculars and such). Imperators II(Talk) 13:54, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
        • Here are the two times it's used "...to prevent an escape via the lagoon, ophidions (a formidable variety of translucent moray eels) were placed there" and "...six Imperials will come to the rescue, not counting the ophidions and other aquatic horrors that infest the place." Outer Shell Electrons (talk) 14:12, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
        • Also, in French, singular nouns that end with "s" are spelled the same way when plural. So it is possible that the species could be "le ophidions" (singular) which would just end up being "les ophidions" (plural) and not change. Outer Shell Electrons (talk) 14:20, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
          • Right, after researching a bit further into this on my own I can now see we're kinda justified in treating it as a plural form with an unknown singular form. Imperators II(Talk) 17:30, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
  • "They were considered one of the many aquatic horrors that resided in the planet's oceans" this bit should be rephrased to avoid the POV-implying wording ("considered" and "horrors"). Instead, you can say something to the effect of they were among the planet's numerous dangerous aquatic creatures. Imperators II(Talk) 17:30, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Finally, just to confirm: the article currently uses {{RPGseed}}, so is the PCs helping l'Ecumeuse with the revolution really just a side thing in "La Légende des Cristaux"? Or is that actually a part of the central plot of the adventure (in which case it would be more appropriate to use {{RPG}})? Imperators II(Talk) 14:37, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
    • The RPG one would be more appropriate then, I added it and addressed it in the BTS. Outer Shell Electrons (talk) 16:00, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Are the creatures native to Taypho or just found there? If the latter, we typically wouldn't include it in the homeworld field of the infobox Lewisr (talk) 20:04, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
  • There seems to be enough creatures for a Category:Creatures of Taypho category to be made Lewisr (talk) 20:04, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
