  • We don't have a policy on this, but something that I always recommend when explanatory ref notes (refs [2] and [5]) are used is that the linking follow a pattern --- either link everything that can be linked, or only link things that aren't linked anywhere else in the article. Currently, things like Treaty of Coruscant and 3,667 BBY are linked in both the article and the ref notes, but things like year, invasion, Rhen Var, Bothawui, etc, are not. Can you standardize the linking? It's a little random right now, and consistency seems best.
  • The article's one redlink over the limit. I think all three in the Great Galactic War navbox need to be filled in per FAN rule 8.
  • The date of 3,667 BBY is only pipelinked to "after" in the article proper --- can you outright state it? Definitely seems noteworthy enough to get an explicit mention.
  • Imperial Military (Sith Empire) isn't mentioned or linked anywhere; can you find a place for it? I'm also wondering if both it and Republic Military should get some love in the infobox. Menkooroo (talk) 13:04, November 18, 2012 (UTC)

  • Blame Cade for the template redlinks :P I'm working on them. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 21:42, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
  • Hey, Trayus, I just read the comic myself, and the way I read it the Imperial commander seems to be talking about the Republic when he mentions the six hundred casualties. Am I completely off? Cade Calrayn GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit 22:38, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
    • I took it as a status report on their status. I don't know why the commander would care how many of the enemy they had killed; seems like the Empire's losses would be more important information for him and Mekhis. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 22:50, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
      • Fair point. Cade Calrayn GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit 22:54, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
  • I'll be updating this for the Encyclopedia shortly. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 04:09, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
