- Governing article-nomination pages. Approved the following resolution: The Wookieepedia Inquisitorius, AgriCorps, and EduCorps reviewing bodies each have the autonomy to govern and maintain the rules of their respective article-nomination pages — Featured, Good, and Comprehensive article nominations.
- Columned reference lists. The following will now be the third bullet point of Wookieepedia:Layout Guide#Notes and references: "Reference lists may not be multi-columned. This feature has been removed from {{Reflist}}."
- CAN intros. Wookieepedia:Comprehensive article nominations, Rule 13 will now read: "...provide an introduction if it reaches 165 words, not counting the 'Behind the scenes' section. Conversely, an article may not have an introduction if it is less than 165 words, not counting the 'Behind the scenes' section."
- Links. Added the following provisions to Wookieepedia:Manual of Style#Linking:
- General rules: Articles should avoid linking to disambiguation pages, with the exception of disambiguation and redirection templates.
- Formatting:
- (new content in bold) Prefixes and suffixes: [[Death|killing]], not [[Death|kill]]ing; [[Water|underwater]], not under[[water]]
- Do not place grammatical articles (such as a, an, and the) in pipelinks (example: the [[Battle of Endor|battle]], not [[Battle of Endor|the battle]]).
- Do not separate compound terms upon first linking instance (examples: [[Battle of Hoth]], not [[Battle of Hoth|Battle of]] [[Hoth]]; [[YT-1300 light freighter]], not [[YT-1300 light freighter|YT-1300]] [[light freighter]]).
- However, individual parts of compound terms may be linked upon subsequent mentions (example: YT-1300 [[light freighter]] is appropriate if [[YT-1300 light freighter]] has been linked previously).
- Contact details. Ratified creation of Wookieepedia:Contact
- Referencing. The following will be added as item 9 to Wookieepedia:Sourcing#Rules: "References may not cite information by individual page or chapter number, unless there is a specific referential need. This does not apply to citation templates that include page-number parameters, such as {{CSWECite}}."
- Punctuation.
- A new subsection titled "Punctuation" will be added to Wookieepedia:Manual of Style#Italics and miscellaneous grammar. The existing "Apostrophes and possessives ending in 's'" section will be moved under "Punctuation" and will be supplemented with the following: "Articles shall avoid 'smart' (also known as 'typographic' or 'curly') quotation marks and apostrophes by converting them to ASCII (also known as 'neutral' or 'straight') quotation marks and apostrophes. In other words, quotation marks and apostrophes on Wookieepedia should look like '...' and "...", not ‘...’ and “...”."
- A new subsection titled "Serial comma" will be added under "Punctuation" with the following: "Articles shall use the serial comma as standard."
- Standardizing titles for status-article systems. Wookieepedia will now capitalize "Featured," "Good," and "Comprehensive" when referring to Featured, Good, and Comprehensive articles
