- Imagecat. Added the following to Wookieepedia:Layout Guide#Appearances: "In the instance two or more images on Wookieepedia depict the article's subject, a corresponding image category must be created. It must be linked to via the {{Imagecat}} template, which ideally shall be placed immediately below the title of the Appearances section (or the Sources section in the absence of an Appearances section) of the respective article. If the template interferes with the presentation of media titles in the aforementioned sections, it shall be placed immediately below the subsequent section of the article (Sources or, ultimately, Notes and references)."
- Demonyms. "Demonyms" added as a new bullet point under Wookieepedia:Layout Guide#Infoboxes, "All infobox material must be detailed in the article proper, with the following exceptions:"
- Pronouns for characters of unspecified gender. Added the following to Wookieepedia:Manual of Style#Italics and miscellaneous grammar: "Do not use the plural pronouns 'they,' 'them,' or 'their' to refer to individuals of unspecified gender."
- Userbox categories. Auto-categorization will be removed from all userboxes that place userpages in the following categories, and these empty categories will be deleted: Category:Wookieepedians by interest, Category:Wookieepedians who attended Celebration IV, Category:Wookieepedians who attended Celebration V, Category: Wookieepedians who are happy to resolve disputes, Category:Wookieepedians by edits, Category:Wookieepedians of note, Category:Wookieepedians by article philosophy, Category:Wookieepedians who are recent changes patrollers, Category:Wookieepedians by sex, Category:Wookieepedians who are status article reviewers, Category:Wookieepedians by time zone, Category:Wookieepedians by Zodiac sign
- Naming policy. The following amendments were added to Wookieepedia:Naming policy:
- Disambiguation. Parenthetical descriptors for in-universe articles must use in-universe terminology, with the exception of subjects from The Star Wars
- Real-world people. Approved rewrite of Wookieepedia:Naming policy#Real-world people
- Rollback. Approved rewrite of Wookieepedia:Rollback with the addition of new procedural rules for Rollback users
- 165-word rule. A new "Introduction" section, placed before "Article body," will be added to Wookieepedia:Layout Guide with the following: "Articles shall only have an introduction section, commonly called an 'intro,' if the article body reaches 165 words in length, not counting the 'Behind the scenes' section or any other content (infobox, captions, quotes, etc.). Such articles will then employ sectioning in the article body." A similar clause will be added to Wookieepedia:Layout Guide/Out-of-universe with appropriate wording, as the "Behind the scenes" section is not used for out-of-universe articles.
- Behind the scenes dates. Wookieepedia:Layout Guide#Behind the scenes will add a new subsection titled "Publication dates" before "Non-canon material" with the following:
- All articles shall document the real-world publication date(s) of the source(s) in which the article subject was first released, named, and/or pictured. A full date (example: January 1, 2020) should generally be provided for sources that are part of a series, while only the year should be provided for standalone sources and sources that are part of a longer-running series, such as a book trilogy or video-game series.
- This means that films, novels, video games, reference books, card sets, and roleplaying or tabletop game products should only provide a publication year, while comic-book issues, television episodes, and magazine issues should provide a full date. The exception to this rule is when two sources are being discussed in tandem. In such a case, the month and/or full date may be provided as necessary, particularly if both sources were released in the same year.
- All articles shall document the real-world publication date(s) of the source(s) in which the article subject was first released, named, and/or pictured. A full date (example: January 1, 2020) should generally be provided for sources that are part of a series, while only the year should be provided for standalone sources and sources that are part of a longer-running series, such as a book trilogy or video-game series.
- Blocking policy. Approved rewrite of Wookieepedia:Blocking policy
- See also. The "See also" section will be eliminated from use in Wookieepedia articles, and the "See also" sections will be removed from Wookieepedia:Layout Guide and Wookieepedia:Layout Guide/Out-of-universe.
