Upon visiting the Star Wars: The Essential Atlas Online Companion on StarWars.com (backup link (atlas) not verified!) I noticed that the following links are down. Is anyone able to provide correct links or know why links from the revamped site starting with "vault/" and "hyperspace/" are suddenly disappearing? It doesn't appear to be limited to the atlas links. Rokkur Shen (talk) 05:11, January 24, 2013 (UTC)

- Because Hyperspace has been dead for a while. These articles are still on the official site. They just updated the links. These are now in an "atlas/" namespace instead of "vault/". NaruHina Talk 05:16, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
- I do realise that they've posted an expansion region map, however if you check the rest of links at http://starwars.com/atlas/ for yourself they redirect to starwars.com/shop do they not? Rokkur Shen (talk) 05:39, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, I thought you meant all the links there and I had three sucessful ones in a row, so I jumped the gun. My bad, the have been moved. The Knght Errant Gazateer was preserved by Suvudu, an official site. Aside from that, I'm sure someone saved them. We've encountered this problem before, so anyone who needs to look them over should ask around. —Unsigned comment by NaruHina (talk • contribs).
- Arghhh when will it end!? Do you know of any way of getting in contact with the current webmasters at starwars.com I've sent at least 30 (politely worded) emails in the last 6 months to the publicly available email addresses and not received a single response. Ever. Rokkur Shen (talk) 06:09, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
- I meant more along the ines of "as around the Wook." StarWars.com is gonna do what it's gonna do. They're not concerned with preservationists like Wookieepedians. x) Nonetheless, I've gotten a response from the official Atlas email address once. Granted, it was to wish Fry a good day and not a question, but they do look. A quesion I did send later didn't get a response though. NaruHina Talk 06:16, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
- Cheers. Mine were only to do with broken links, site errors, general site maintenance (or lack thereof) etc not really fan questions. But anyway, thanks for the reply. Rokkur Shen (talk) 06:22, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
