Introducing the Star Wars Reference Wiki!

Introducing the Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki, a wiki for fic writers by fic writers!

The Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki is intended as a way for fic writers and other fanwork creators to easily look up pertinent information without having to slog through dense paragraphs or comb through categories with dozens or even hundreds of entries with few indicators of what the pages are. Do you want lists? Do you want tables? Do you want easily digestible bullet points? We've got 'em!

We build pages from common questions we or other fic writers have, such as:

All these fics incorporate events from Jedi Apprentice, but what really happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi in Legends?

How do the stories in Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars mesh together?

Which characters are LGBTQIA+? Who are some LGBTQIA+ creators who have worked on a Star War? How about a timeline of LGBTQIA+ people and content?

BBY/ABY, BrS/GrS, BFE/AFE... what's the difference between these and all those other calendars? What calendar do characters use before the Battle of Yavin?

What are some idioms or kriffing swears this character could use to sound more Star Wars-y?

Does the GFFA have its own version of a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup?

What could be used as a pack animal in one of the many, many deserts?

Why does this fic call him "Yan" or "Glamnor" Dooku? Is her full name Padmé Amidala Naberrie or something else?

How many costumes does Padmé wear? What about other SW costumes?

What are some canonical design options for a Kiffar OC's facial tattoo?

Are these the droids you're looking for?

Are you constantly losing those handy tumblr posts compiling useful resources? We have a permanent page for that!

(Swears in light mode; LGBTQIA+ characters in dark mode)

We've only recently started building the wiki, and are creating new pages all the time! We'd love help or suggestions for new pages. Have you never edited a wiki before? No problem! We have a tutorial for that. Are you not super confident about your English? No worries! Other wiki editors are here to help! We have a Discord server for the wiki, and side channels for things like SW fic recs and general fan chat.

Thank you for initial brainstorming and showing us there was an interest in and audience for this wiki, from us (facingthenorthwind and immithrax) to you: @nimata-beroya, @cacodaemonia, @elismor, @genericficerblog, @seth-shitposts, @takadasaiko, and @virusq!

Many hands make great wikis, so please, come on over and join us, and check back to see what new things we have in store! If you find our pages useful, we'd also love if you could spread the word, so other people can make use of the resources we've worked hard to create.

The Transformers wiki feels like it was written by aliens who only know Earth through Transformers media

The whole joji - filthy frank wiki debacle.

Even when Nintendo forgets us Kid Icarus fans, the Metroid wiki's got us.

R&R wiki woo!

The Rook & Rose wiki is live! We created this wiki for our own reference, so there are spoilers galore. But with some help we arranged to archive our version and make a public version that people can edit, add to, etc.

Our original is almost the same length as one of the novels, so lots of robust content for folks to poke around and play with!

@diceqi I put your Make Cole Gayer petition on Fanlore!

This is a PSA to go add to the Ninjago fanlore page btw. I'm out here trying to write this whole thing all by myself...

Hi, so I've made a Desperado Wiki (is just bare bones)

Please give it a visit every once in a while so that it is not mark as "Innactive" and dissapears from the ether.

Thanks!

Spoiler-Covering on the T&B Wiki: Feedback *Needed*

Spoilers. It's kind of absurd and insane when you go on a wiki for the *latest* content and none of it is spoiler covered. And by latest I'm talking about like, maybe released 12 hours ago. At HeroTV Database, we don't do that. All story-related content is put under a year incubation period and must be covered. The only exception to this is S2 Cour 2, which whilst it still must be covered, has an indefinite embargo date atm.

I've made 3 iterations of a "Spoiler" template, aiming to hide text and images by default. Version 1 was just a ripoff of the template as seen on FE Fandom wiki (please forgive me) but that ran into the issue of the expand/collapse prompt being off to the right side and the more text was hidden I came to mind, the lower the click prompt fell, for some reason. It being outside of the box and floating away was not ideal for design. Also, this had to be used in-conjuction with another template to mark off the "end" of a spoiler. Most, not all (namely multiple paragraphs of info and anything containing images) needed this, and it's just very clunky to use and look at. Version 2 was promising at first, but two big issues were that it was a table of sorts and I couldn't find a way to make the drop-down opaque (either just white, or it copied the colour from the primary banner part), and spoilers must reside in the table, meaning if the content it contains is long enough, it will push itself down below any other templates or images just to display. Not great. Version 3 is the best one to date, and would be perfect if not for one problem: Every use of it on a page is recognised as the same instance, since the ID for the "Show me the spoilers" button in the banner is the same across all uses of it. Clicking on just one activates every single spoiler on the page, so you might want to see one but not the others and if you don't close the first one...problems. Yeah. This was so close.

After this specific failure of V3, I went to look for help in the Miraheze discord server, and everyone over there is oh so nice n helpful. Provided by a user going by 'canada' in the discord, they've given us code for a "block spoiler-cover" function that utilises CSS and JS to work, and is VIEWABLE ON MOBILE!!!! (This is something that would not be possible on Fandom, as Fandom Mobile has no JavaScript OR CSS support because Devs are liars when they say they want to make mobile fandom better.)

Before properly implementing it onto main pages, I *require* feedback. The link above is to the sandbox, where the spoiler boxes are being tested. Use the "Show all spoilers" to reveal all of them at once, or click/tap on a box to show, and click/tap again to hide. Tapping on an image takes you to the file page of an image, covered or not, so to not get taken to an image page, safest bet (usually) is to tap on a corner, or click where your mouse cursor does not shift into a hand ready to click. I'll see if there's anything I can put in the code to stop it from doing that. I'm certain I can change the colours of the spoiler box (current colours are purely placeholders), but colour suggestions should try to contrast with red, white, black and the shade of blue that's recognised as hex #2A3C45 (A darker blue intended for a dark mode). The colour should also be somewhat desaturated so it's not blinding to look at, so a pastel colour could be beneficial, maybe a pink or yellow, it's up to you what would look best! The more opinions the better!

The feedback is primarily for if we want this to begin with, and for stating adjustments you want before it does go into effect on main pages. If you do not want this to go into effect and want something else, please make that voice heard!

Thanks and Thanks Again!

Hello again...

Here is the site:

A quick introduction:

Moegirlpedia is a Chinese wiki founded on October 12, 2010. It also has an English and a Japanese version, both opened on January 2013. The main focus of Moegirlpedia is animation, comics, games, novels, and other types of media, along with the subcultures that originated from them.

Currently, the English version, along with the Japanese one, is terribly small and short on content. So, I'm showing this site around to others so that it gets more exposure and gains new readers/editors…

Here is a post I made on my blog about it.

HI sorry for taking so long to get back to you!

Check this out!!! It's really cool :]

NRNRB - Wiki

Hello! Long time, no see.

I've been busy dealing with job hunting, move planning, and being sick the entirety of last week. But I did make a big step in a personal project for a writer I adore.

Check out NRNRB - Wiki! I created it to organize info from Nev's fic, "Neither Romulus nor Remus be". It is a great VegasPete fic with a Wolf!AU. I highly recommend it and the fic is COMPLETED!~~

Be warned! The site has a lot of spoilers so when you see warnings about them, do not proceed further until you finish the entirety of the fic. The non-spoilers are great for understanding family trees and the terminology used throughout.

I hope you read Nev's fic and enjoy the website! The website is still under works and I will update it when I have time and/or more information.

Nev isn't on tumblr but you can check out her twitter here! Their other fics are just as amazing so I definitely recommend reading them as well~

Hey guys, look what I found

Weird, huh?

Also sorry about the absurdly big gaps between the text, I don’t know why it did that but it did and I don’t know how to fix it ._.

I hope you enjoy all this delicious and unnecessary detail of Noel XD

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to pass out now because it’s currently 3am where I am-

I feel like my sister showed me this image back in 2014-15 tbh. Like it feels like a childhood hallucination. Stumbling upon it in the Joji article on the filthy frank fan wiki all those years later felt like reconnecting with an old acquaintance.

You know a franchise goes too far with The Lore when the wiki is written from an in universe perspective

Like if I just want to know, when did X major event happen, just say “X happens in Y episode![1]” and not “X HAPPENED DURING THE POLAR BEAR INCIDENT IN THE YEAR 26XX” and then make me click through 5 fandom wiki ads just to find out what part of the series the polar bear incident is referring to so I can go through each episode synopsis, clicking through more ads, only to finally find the one where X event happens
