Infobox documentation example
Edit
This is merely a possible suggestion of the sort of detail that may be warranted, other ideas for documentation might be suggested. Examples for each field could be beneficial. Bear in mind that many fields are universal across many infoboxes. A note to use {{Ref}} for references should also be included. In the (forthcoming) SH thread, I'm hoping that a group of willing users will write up the documentation for the boxes on the template pages which other users can then pick out errors/suggest changes to. As there are a few common fields (era and affiliation being the obvious ones), we might want to determine what goes in that field beforehand, then add it to all of them for consistency.
Example is based on {{Weapon}}. Any notes to clarify the wording/reasoning I've used are in ((brackets))
The following status (FA/GA) articles were used as precedent: Blastsword, Shikkar, Bane's Heart (lightsaber), Lumiya's lightwhip, EXP-7(a) Predator, GSI-21D, Incremental-sequence bomb, TC-22 blaster rifle, Tera Sinube's sabercane, Exar Kun's lightsaber, Icehead club.

WOTC web supplements - WP:KOTOR
Edit
Wizards of the Coast published many Star Wars web supplements on their website but these were taken down sometime around May 30 2010. Here follows a list (in no particular order) of those supplements related to the KOTOR WookieeProject with links to the Wayback Machine where available. Where archived versions were unavailable, I've linked to the pdf files hosted on a few other random handy sites. Alternatively, you can also grab some/all of the non-archived ones from my dropbox!
"Promo Missions"
Edit
Ever heard of Infestation or Assault on the Trayus Academy? Apparently, they're two KOTOR missions given out at special events. Found 'em here.
Artist/Author/Editor comments - WP:KOTOR
Edit
Throughout the run of the KOTOR comics, threads were started on the Dark Horse Comics boards and TFN boards for each issue. The artists, editors and JJM sometimes comment on these with hidden tidbits of Bts goodness or clarification for chronology/identification/etc. I've trawled the two sites to find the elusive threads and listed them here with JJM's more-official Faraway Press blog comments. If you find any other threads relevant to the Bts of each issue, feel free to add it. Not all of them (like some of the earlier TFN ones) have VIP comments.
NOTE: The TFN links will all be broken with the move from IGN, I might update this at some point in the future when they've moved
