Imperators II[]
You forgot to mention the eye color in the article body.- Fixed it. --LelalMekha (talk) 22:56, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this is mandatory, but I still feel it should be noted somehow that the site containing the release date for "The Unknown" is in German.- Not sure how I can do that, but I'll think of something. --LelalMekha (talk) 22:56, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
- I tried something there, but I'm not certain that's exactly what you were looking for. --LelalMekha (talk) 23:03, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
- Why not just use this? Imperators II(Talk) 23:07, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
- Because I'm not clever enough to think of such an obvious solution! :p Done now. Thanks! --LelalMekha (talk) 23:28, October 8, 2016 (UTC)

Just wanted to check: in "Destiny", does Yoda's vision only depict Tiplee/Tiplar (i.e., no new info)?Imperators II(Talk) 22:38, October 8, 2016 (UTC)- Nothing relevant to the species. In Yoda's vision, he just sees a bunch of Jedi he knew standing there and chatting in a courtyard near a tree. That's why I didn't feel the need to include the vision in the article body. --LelalMekha (talk) 22:56, October 8, 2016 (UTC)

I don't know what's going on with it, but the Twitter template in reference 4 has a redlink for the screenshot.- Fixed. --Lelal Mekha (Audience Room) 19:33, April 25, 2017 (UTC)
In the BTS, the episode itself really can't be used a reference for it being the first episode of the sixth season. You'll probably need to go into the episode guides to find that information.- Reference to the episode guide added. --Lelal Mekha (Audience Room) 19:33, April 25, 2017 (UTC)
As for the rest of that sentence, I don't really see where you're getting that information from that IMDb page. Ideally, you would find a more reliable source anyway. Look at "The Unknown" article's referencing for some ideas.Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:20, April 25, 2017 (UTC)- I originally used the same link as in the article for "The Unknown." However, Imperators II thought it would be better if the link weren't in German, and suggested using IMDB instead. Now, I could still change it back, of course... --Lelal Mekha (Audience Room) 19:33, April 25, 2017 (UTC)
- What I meant was that the information isn't actually on the IMDb page you're linking, which is technically true. It's actually here. But the bigger issue here is that IMDb is not a reliable source. They're actually worse than Wikipedia, since their content is all basically open-source, but they don't require their contributors to cite the information they add, as if they just expect us to accept that it's reliable because of their name brand. I did a little digging and found this Jedi News article, which links to and translates the original Super RTL press release (which is no longer available) for this information. What I would suggest doing to avoid using IMDb is employ two reference notes; the first should be this Jedi News article, and the second should be this German site, which you can adorn with a nice Google translation link. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:57, April 25, 2017 (UTC)
- Duly noted. Now there's one more thing that still needs fixing: how exactly should I format the link to the translated page? As far as I know, our web citation template does not have a "translation" field, and I couldn't find a precedent. --Lelal Mekha (Audience Room) 20:26, April 25, 2017 (UTC)
- You could just cite the German link through Cite web like normal, then at the end of that template put the translation link in a {{C|[URL English translation]}}. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:30, April 25, 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, that's the first thing I tried, but, for some reason, it does not seem to work. In the preview, it only renders as ({{{1}}}). --Lelal Mekha (Audience Room) 20:37, April 25, 2017 (UTC)
