Ok, here I am, Justin Gann, my first time before the Senate, with a proposal. First, I will outline the problem. The Star Wars universe is big. (I refrain from quoting Douglas Adams here.) It has a vast potential for expansion. With movies, television, cartoons, and comics, the visual world often grows in areas the written word does not follow. As a result, we have many items of continuity that are seen, but as of YET have no canon name or model. Thanks to the RPG, the Essential Guides, and Insider, names are coined for these "cryto-continuity" items regularly; on the other hand, the constant addition of new media means this category seems to grow ever larger, rather than shrink.

It is my belief that as many aspects of continuity as possible should be covered by Wiki. If, in a novel, a character makes a one-line throw-away allusion to their "brother Harry," that character gets a Wiki article and everyone is ok with that. If a character appears in a visual presentation but doesn't get a name, some people object to a "conjecturally titled" article about that character. They have their reasons, which I assume they could present better than me. The lines seem evenly divided on such issues. Wiki is, above all, about fun and fandom. We should all be able to enjoy it. Rather than see Wiki continually divided over this issue, I suggest we come up with a solution that will at least make us all content. My proposal: rather than indiviudal pages/articles on conjecturally named items, we have a small number of articles, ie unnamed characters page, unnamed vehicles page, etc. each page broken into subcategories using equal signs. We'd have all the pics with little blurbs of what we do know, and the sourc. for example page: unnamed vehicles
