Welcome to the Star Wars 420
A Star Wars Wiki for the 90s


Progress Towards Go Live (click to expand): 40% complete
   
Initial Build and Import: 100% complete
 
  1. Build list SW420 Canon sources * Result: Manually built list of ~3000 sources
  2. Import all articles of sources that are SW420 Canon * Result: ~3000 Content articles Imported
  3. Build list of all articles that link to SW420 Canon sources * Result: Wrote a script to pull 'WhatLinksHere' provided a list
  4. Import all articles that link to SW420 Canon Sources * Result: ~113,000 total Imported
Rush to 50k: 100% complete
 

After the initial import, I set a goal of getting down to 50k content articles.

This was somewhat arbitrary, but due to the way Wookieepedia encourages unrelated linking and referencing, many imported articles were for wholly non-canonical material.

This process was mostly done by articles that included a link to a non-canon source followed by the 1stm template. Then, additionally by searching for the routine way this is often described in the Behind the Scenes section of articles.

I additionally went through the orphaned pages list, and categories for things like Vong and Gungan cultures that would certainly be non-canonical.

At ~51k articles, I stopped being able to come up with searches that would get more than a few pages at a time. The effort on this continues as I find such non-canonical articles to delete.

Subject Purges: 20% complete
   

These are focused around large scale subjects that came into being after SW420. Species, Planets, and Organizations will form the majority of these.

The idea is to search for all articles that reference such topics, and either delete the article or excise the references to the offending content. Typically while there I try to see if I can generally remove other non-canon references.
