The way this article is formatted is kind of confusing. When looking at the intro and infobox, it seems like it belongs to the "proper" Legends continuity. Then, when you get to the body, there is a notice that says "Nope, actually, we don't know if this information is licensed." For articles that are not "proper" canon, there is generally a top template that right away tells the reader the canon status of the article {{Easteregg}}, {{Noncanon}}, {{Unlicensed}}. I thought unlicensed information was similar to Tales information, in that it should only be included in the article body (with tags) and not in the infobox or intro, like Jar Jar Binks's father.

- Yeah, that's just the precedent for how we present these articles with info from ambiguously licensed material. In the body we're very upfront about notifying the reader about the canonicity status of it all, but there's no real practical way to do it in infobox and intro as well, and it'd be super unhelpful to just not list anything in the infobox or not acknowledge the significant chunk of available info in the intro (after all, we do present it in History as if it actually happened, just enclose it in "advisory" tags.

  - I guess that's the lesser evil here. ThrawnChiss7 ^{Assembly Cupola} 01:31, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

~~Bit of an oddity: The Atlas reference used elsewhere in the body is also used to source Fry being an author.~~ UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:55, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not sure what's odd here? We can't really source the Atlas was a reference book released in 2009 (or strictly speaking, that Fry was the author of the book either) to the tweet, so the book ref it is. Imperators II^(Talk) 10:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  - The "Based on corresponding data for Mandrine system" bit :P UberSoldat93 (talk) 10:04, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
    - Eh, there's SAN precedent already for using just the full specific reference in cases like this. I mean, it isn't incorrect in any way if you think about it. :P Imperators II^(Talk) 10:12, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
      - Fine. :P UberSoldat93 (talk) 10:15, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
