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 fromĀ Jedi Apprentice, but whatĀ reallyĀ happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi in Legends?
How do the stories inĀ Revenge of the SithĀ andĀ The Clone WarsĀ mesh together?
Which characters areĀ LGBTQIA+? Who are someĀ LGBTQIA+ creatorsĀ who have worked on a Star War? How about aĀ timelineĀ of LGBTQIA+ people and content?
BBY/ABY, BrS/GrS, BFE/AFE... what's the difference between these and all those otherĀ calendars? What calendar do characters use before the Battle of Yavin?
What are someĀ idiomsĀ orĀ kriffing swearsĀ this character could use to sound moreĀ Star Wars-y?
Does theĀ GFFAĀ have its own version of aĀ grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup?
What could be used as aĀ pack animalĀ in one of the many, many deserts?
Why does this fic call him "Yan" or "Glamnor"Ā Dooku? Is her full nameĀ PadmĆ© Amidala NaberrieĀ or something else?
How manyĀ costumes does PadmĆ© wear? What about other SWĀ costumes?
What are some canonical design options for a Kiffar OC'sĀ facial tattoo?
AreĀ theseĀ theĀ droidsĀ you're looking for?
Are you constantly losing those handy tumblr posts compiling useful resources? We have aĀ permanent pageĀ 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 aĀ tutorial for that. Are you not super confident about your English? No worries! Other wiki editors are here to help!Ā 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.
