[edit] PoV

Great portal, thanks! --Fito 18:56, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Format

This portal needs some slight formatting tweaks, as some things appear to overlap in Firefox. --Phoenix2 22:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Definitely... i think it has to do with firefox's interpretation of wikipedia software. As such, I fear it cannot be changed, though I will give it a try. --jonasaurus 02:28, 14 July 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Category:Star Wars films

There is currently a question as to what exactly is covered by Category:Star Wars films. Is it just Episodes I-VI? Should there be a subcategory specifically for Star Wars episodes? Are things like The Star Wars Holiday Special and Ewoks: Battle for Endor included? If they aren't what category do they go into? Please visit Category talk:Star Wars films and weigh in. --BrianSmithson 13:13, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Star Wars fans

Check out "Lucas Bashing" phenomenon- an urgent need for cleanup and possibly a name change. please comment on the talk page. Borisblue 16:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup? - It looks stupid enough to be deleted. It is *very* opinionated, in any case. -Xol 19:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Action figures

Hey there star wars people, I'm trying to flesh out the star wars action figures (Category:Action Figures) and I can't seem to find any info on the star wars action figures in the portal, where might I find some info on them. If it doesnt exist perhaps the star wars community would like to remedy this omission? Htaccess 20:20, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello any one that knows a fair amount of information (history, the I owe yous, ect) on the star wars action figures pleas write an article on the phenomenon

[edit] Portal feedback

Any ideas, etc.? Also, it might help for you to take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars. — Deckiller 21:16, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chage the title font to blue

I think the title font should chage to blue.Yellow doesn't a like very good star wars color.Blue seems like a better color. I going to chage the the long time ago in galaxy far far away color to bue yellow on white backround is hard to read.--Scott3 23:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Blue is used too much and yellow is the classic Star Wars color. Jedi6-(need help?) 00:01, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
I think blue is a bettter color it was the font used in the movies for a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.--Scott3 21:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm with Scott here. Blue is a classic SW color, and the current yellow is just awful. --maru (talk) contribs 21:48, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
I prefer the yellow font, myself. The Wookieepedian 12:25, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Order

I'd just like to announce that i'm going to take it upon myself to update this page regularly, with new content. I'm also taking initiative with the Star Wars WikiProject, so this is one of my new changes. Having a page like this stagnant since April is just not a good thing, and its stopping.

I've changed the 'Selected List' to Selected Race, a new item which is up for voting every week, because most of the lists were deleted. For the Selected Race category, nominations may be taken from List of Star Wars races and put up for weekly voting. The selected article, DYK and quote is also going to be updated weekly, so voting can resume once again. Firestorm 00:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions for reorgonizing some Star Wars articles

  • merge Darth Xio Jade with list of sith this article is currently listed as one to be deleted i have placed it Star Wars stubs category

[edit] Fair use images

I removed the pictures in "selected race" and "selected article" sections, as they are a violation of Wikipedia's fair use policy. Please remember that fair use images can only be used in the article namespace (the main page though is an exception).--TBCTaLk?!? 03:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

An amendment is under discussion: Wikipedia:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals --GunnarRene 22:38, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Formatting

C'mon, people, I just went through and corrected a lot of things that shouldn't have been. Movies unitalicized, inconsistent use of periods at the end of sentences, "dumb" wikilinks (ie: Revenge of the Sith rather than Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith... hell, I even corrected a link to just Luke), etc. Let's clean up the portal; in theory, this is the gateway to all the Star Wars articles on Wikipedia, and we need to put our best face forward.

[edit] Spoiler question

I think a mention of the "name the new Sith" contest would be appropriate for the news section, but I'm unsure if it would be considered a spoiler. (The fact I'm not naming the newly-dark character here probably demonstrates something, but oh well). Even though that character's Sith ambitions are under the spoiler warning in the character's article, the fact that LucasArts is promoting it so heavily- to the extent that starwars.com has "Last Change to Name That Sith" superimposed over the character's head- would certainly support the idea that it's out in the open by now. So what does everyone think? Stilgar135 03:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
