- Wookieepedia:Manual of Style: "Wookieepedia articles are to be formatted for ideal presentation in the Wikia skin, also known as Oasis. This is in particular regard to paragraph size and image placement."
- Wookieepedia:Layout Guide and Wookieepedia:Layout Guide/Out-of-universe: "Images are to be formatted for ideal presentation in the Wikia skin, also known as Oasis."

- Self-votes on the nomination pages: Wookieepedia:Featured article nominations and Wookieepedia:Good article nominations have had "Users may not vote on their own articles" added as a rule under the "How to nominate" sections.
- Infobox rules: The following bullet points have been added to Wookieepedia:Layout Guide:
- "When listing multiple items in a single infobox field, including cascading items, use bullets to offset each item, including the first item listed. Do not use blank indentations. Additionally, the "Affiliations" field of infoboxes shall list sub-bullets to a maximum depth of one (example: *Galactic Empire **Stormtrooper Corps). This is done for aesthetic reasons with regard to article presentation in the Wikia skin."
- "For Star Wars Legends articles, if any infobox date field employs a BBY/ABY date, a corresponding GrS date may only be added to that field if the GrS month is known for a given event. For example, do not list Made Jade's infobox birth date as "17 BBY (18)"; but do list Luke Skywalker's birth date as "19 BBY (16:5:24)". Additionally, when listing a corresponding GrS date when a BBY/ABY date is also being used, always place the GrS date in small text via the {{C}} template."
