Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Star Wars

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why the caption field at {{Star Wars character}} isn't, ya know, causing captions to appear. I pretty much copied the template verbatim from {{Star Trek character}}, which displays captions fine here and here -- but the caption at e.g. Mara Jade doesn't display. Can someone please take a look? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EEMIV (talk • contribs)

That's really weird. I tool a look at it, and I can't for the life of me figure out why that is happening. If I figure it out, i'll let you know. Until then, maybe try the Helpdesk? Firestorm ^Talk 20:24, 8 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've just created our new outline of the Coordinator duties at Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/Coordinator. Please have a look. I used the LGBT Project Coordinator page as an outline. Since i've been working to reactivate this project, i'm more or less the de facto coordinator anyway, so the next elections will be held six months from now.

Anybody interested in becoming Deputy Coordinator (one or two people should do it), please drop a note here or on my talk page. Thanks! Firestorm ^Talk 05:40, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Does anyone know anything about an animated version of Star Tours? There's a user continually making edits referencing such a production, but without sources. I've detailed the situation at Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests#Star Tours: Animated?. Would appreciate help from WikiProject Star Wars. =) Powers ^T 14:42, 29 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

• I've seen it too and it sounds dubious to me. I'm leaning towards removing it and keeping it out until a wp:RS is provided. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:57, 29 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

• All I've seen recently about Star Tours is that they're re-filming it, but it's live-action. --EEMIV (talk) 15:29, 29 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • Yes, that's at Star Tours II and is not what the IP user is linking. Powers ^T 17:27, 29 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yuuzhan Vong invasion was PRODed for deletion. I removed the prod because it's been around forever, but it'll probably be sent to AfD soon. 70.29.208.129 (talk) 06:38, 4 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

• I added it to my watchlist. If you see it AfD'd before I do, please drop a note here and I'll do the same. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

In October 2008, many entries were deleted from List of Star Wars characters. Unfortunately, nobody went through Wikipedia to check for (now) broken links to the article. For example, the entry for Ghent was deleted. But the link on the disambig page Ghent (disambiguation) was not removed, and the #REDIRECT page Ghent (Star Wars) was not proposed for deletion.

I have cleaned up the fallout from Ghent. As your Project created this mess, I must suggest that the responsibility is on you to clean up the rest of it. (A good place to start would be Special:WhatLinksHere/List_of_Star_Wars_characters.) HairyWombat (talk) 04:54, 17 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I have added some comments to the talk pages of Darth Plagueis and List of Star Wars characters that may be relevant to your project. Mainly, i think, as mentioned on the list of things to do, that the big list should be split into some smaller more inclusive lists.Quickmythril (talk) 05:13, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Great Jedi Purge, Yuuzhan Vong invasion and Jedi Council are among the 12 articles nominated for deletion in this WP:Articles for deletion/Great Jedi Purge (2 nomination). Niteshift36 (talk) 09:19, 17 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

By the way, here's a relevant discussion about subject development you might find interesting.

Now back to the question...
