Welcome, Vractomorph, to Star Wars Fanon, the Star Wars wiki of fan invention!

As a community, we strive to maintain a fun and creative atmosphere for all users while also maintaining a sense of encyclopedic quality that we can show off and be proud of.

The Senate Hall can also be used for asking about anything relating to Star Wars Fanon, including help in following our policies.

You're probably saying, "How can I get involved?" There are a number of ways that you can do that, which are all listed below, so we encourage you to check those out! Very importantly, there are also a number of policies that you will need to be cognizant of and agree to follow so you can have the best time possible, and to help make our great wiki even greater!

Joining the community
Hey Vractomorph! Sorry if this added message seems a bit overwhelming after the huge welcome message you just received, but what I wanted to say is important enough to re-emphasize it here. I wanted to make sure you were as aware as possible of the fantastic community we have here on the wiki. There is literally so much to do beyond just working on your own articles. I definitely don't want to sound like I'm suggesting you shouldn't work on your own articles, but there's a larger community out there too and we'd all love for you to get involved! If you have any questions about the community, which I strongly encourage you to participate in, don't hesitate to ask me. Thanks, and once again welcome to Star Wars Fanon! – -- Goodwood (Talk) 09:16, 15 August 2011

Images
Hello Vractomorph. I would just like to remind you to source and license File:Ada.jpg, File:Untitled.gif and File:All Hell.gif using the template,, per our image policy. In the future, try to name images something more applicable, like your Ada.jpg rather than your Untitled.gif. Also, read our manual of style and layout guide, and make sure all of your articles conform to it. If you need anything, please ask me or any other user. Thanks  Savage  1138 17:20, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * The above images have been removed as they were not provided with a source and license in accordance to the aforementioned image policy. When uploading images, please make sure to source and license your images in accordance to the image policy, else they will be removed and administrative action may be taken on the part of the uploader. Thanks.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 02:32, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Reloading the same image under a different name and continuing to disregard instructions will not change the situation. 14:16, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * TK-999 is right. File:Ada Larkin and Darth Vader.jpg needs to be sourced and licensed immediately or it will be deleted. 21:09, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

As well as File:Ada Larkin and Darth Vader.jpg, please source and license:
 * File:Planet Vitea.gif
 * File:Last Resort Defence.jpg
 * File:Ogre.jpg
 * File:The destruction of sandexi.jpg
 * File:Sandexi Reborn.jpg

using the Information template per our image policy. If you do not, they will be deleted. Thanks  Savage  1138 15:18, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, first you edit the page and you can copy-past the code from here into it. After the = you will type in the appropriate content (after description = you will type the description, after source = your will type the source, etc.) After license = you will put in the code for one of the licensing templates found here. Then you provide proper categories, and that's all there is too it. Hopefully that helps, otherwise you can take a look at some images already uploaded here that have been sourced and licensed. Thanks  Savage  1138 15:45, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

If you provide me with a link to the source for one of them, I can do it for you as an example.  Savage  1138 17:29, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * You can see how I did it for File:Ada Larkin and Darth Vader.jpg. All you have to do is add a description, and add the proper categories. Then do this for all images and you'll be set. (Also, remember to sign your comments on talk pages with ~ .) Thanks  Savage  1138 17:52, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you created it say "user created" or something in the source and list yourself as the author (your exact username with a link to your userpage). As for a license you can choose one of the copyright templates. Also, sign your posts with ~ when leaving messages! Thanks, and good luck.  Savage  1138 18:07, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I understand that it can be difficult, but you must provide sources and licenses. If you give me the source I can show you on one more.  Savage  1138 18:25, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

MoS and LG
Hey Vractomorph. I just formatted your article Eliminator. I suggest you read our manual of style and layout guide, which will help you format your articles correctly without the help of others. I have no problem helping you, and you haven't done anything wrong. I'm just trying to teach you. If you need anything, please ask me, and remember, read the MoS and LG! Thanks  Savage  1138 17:17, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Warning
Your articles, Jabba Desilijic Tiure (Sociology/Biography) and H'nemthe misogynist movement, need to be formatted and categorized per our Manual of Style and Layout Guide. As well, you must source and license File:H'nemthe misogynist.jpg using the Information template according to our image policy. This is your second warning: please attend to this and your other images soon or they will be deleted. Future image violations, in addition to those you have been warned for thus far (particularly if they go unheeded and are deleted), will result in administrative action. 07:48, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * I cleaned up the two articles mentioned in this warning to help prevent any problems with them. I suggest you look them over so that you can get an idea of what a properly formatted article looks like. This will help prevent any future warnings and keep you in good standing with the Wiki. Reminder, I did not source the image, so you are still required to do so before it is deleted and action is taken against your account. Don't be afraid to ask if you are unsure of what to do, the community is here to help. Thanks and good editing!- I'm the Chosen One  08:55, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Did you get the pic from Wookieepedia?- I'm the Chosen One  20:33, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

For images from Wookieepedia or Wikipedia, you would use the source that they list on the image's page. For images you get on google, yahoo and other search engines, you would list the website URL (address) that shows the image in it. That way we can verify it. Never list Wookieepedia, Wikipedia, google, yahoo, etc as the source. We also allow one or two images to remain unsourced if you truly don't remember the source, don't abuse this ability though.- I'm the Chosen One  12:38, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you explain what you have trouble with exactly? Are you having a hard time editing this page or finding the sources? I am not sure how to start explaining at this point.- I'm the Chosen One  17:10, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Here is the deal: You should, if you have NO idea of what the license is, use Fair use every time. Fair use is sort of a blanket license that protects you and applies to nearly everything. This page has the list of every copyright template we use and this explains each of the licenses. Screenshot is best for movie and video game pictures while comicpanel is for comic pages and bookcover for books. Usercopyright is the license you want if it is a self-made image. Every image that you take from the web is copyrighted. Hope this helps.- I'm the Chosen One  17:32, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's fine. I'd be angry if you weren't attempting to learn or trying to fix your mistakes. It is good to see a user that wants to do things right and is willing to learn. Also, you need to sign your comments on all talk pages like this:  ~ . Those four things will produce a signature as required by wikia. You will know you did it right when you see your username and a time posted after your comment, like my signature just to the right of this word.- I'm the Chosen One  17:41, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Other user's fanon
Hey Vractomorph. While I'm glad you want to add content, I'm going to have to ask you not to do it to other user's articles. Celestial belongs to Death Star II, and so canon (or your fanon) facts may not apply. This includes images. Thanks  Savage  1138 18:33, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Image sourcing
That is how you would do it to make sure it is done right. I will be able to help in about two hours, if you have trouble.- I'm the Chosen One  14:54, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Your articles
Before continuing to create articles, please familiarize yourself with Star Wars Fanon's supported tenses. The Manual of Style clearly states:

 &ldquo;All in-universe content must be written in the historical past tense with a third-person perspective. This is because Star Wars is set &lsquo;a long time ago,&rsquo; as stated in the beginning of each canon film.&rdquo;

Additionally, references like "our universe" are to be avoided, as the subject is unclear and out-of-universe. Also, if an article has no mention of Star Wars events&mdash;anything from the world of Star Wars, without limitation&mdash;it has no place here. Please be sure to adhere to these guidelines when editing. Cheers, 17:02, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Copyright violation
Please immediately refrain from copying articles verbatim from Wookieepedia. Doing so is in violation of Wikia's licensing and our policies and may result in a block. Cheers, 15:38, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Special invitation for !
Hey, you! Yes, you!



You're cordially invited to the 7th Annual Wiki Awards on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki! Come nominate, procrastinate, marinate, and pontificate over the best and brightest of the community's offerings with us! Sample the choicest works with your critical eye (monocle sold separately) and submit your own works for a chance to be enshrined in the annals of Star Wars Fanon history. You might write whatever you want to because it's fun, but getting shiny awards and bragging rights doesn't hurt either, right? We didn't think so.

Don't force yourself into exile, or look for alternative activities this winter. Whether your work is one of the myriad incarnations of Revan, a Sith Lord with a hard-to-pronounce name, or some random teenager's pet pittin, you'll find an entry where it belongs. (Editor's note: "Best Incarnation of Revan" and "Best Hard-To-Pronounce-Sith" did not make the categories list this year.) It's time to break out the ancient Sith armor and capes, the dress uniforms for every soldier, and something to catch the eye for every pretty lass. And did I mention our sponsors include Sarth's Darths, provider of the finest black capes in the galaxy? Join our star-crossed, er&hellip;star-studded collection of Star Wars Fanon administrators including Brandon Rhea, Goodwood, and Trak Nar as we celebrate the individualism and creativity on this wiki. And if you thought this announcement was cheesy, you ain't seen nothing yet. (Consider this a warning to those, like Fiolli, who are lactose intolerant.)

So fire up the hyperdrive, hope it doesn't catapult you a few millennia forwards or backwards in time, and head on over to the Seventh Wiki Awards. We'd love for you to nominate deserving works (including yours!) and help us choose the best entries for this year! We can't pick between all the entries without you! And if you see any other special snowflakes who need invited to the extravaganza, just slap this message on their talk page to spread some holiday cheer&hellip; or something.

So from two folks who've contributed far more at Wookieepedia than here, who habitually bring you either terrible puns or delicious pasta, please accept our sincerest invitation to the Seventh Wiki Awards. And remember, we're doing this all for the community, because that's what really matters on this wiki. Right? Yeah&hellip;

Hi there. You can upload images from Wookieepedia so long as you source and license them using the Information template, per the image uploading guidelines. In this case, the source would be The Essential Atlas. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 15:12, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's fine. In the "filespecs" section of the template, though, you should write what kinds of edits you made. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:18, September 8, 2013 (UTC)

Categories
Hey Vractomorph. You've been creating a number of pages that you haven't categorized. Please remember to categorize all pages that you create. You can read about categorizing your pages here. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:03, September 8, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Image license
As far as I can tell, it would be public domain. You wouldn't need to license it at all, technically. Sorry I had gotten back to you so late, been quite busy. Trak Nar Ramble on
