General editing[]

1. Adhere to all site policies, such as the Manual of Style and Layout Guide.
2. Properly source all information in an article with TOR-specific citation templates such as TORcite, TOR dates, TOR updates, TORweb, and TORYoutube.
   • To cite Tweets from the official SWTOR Twitter account, use Template:Twitter. Similarly, use {{FacebookCite}} and {{InstagramCite}} for the SWTOR Facebook and Instagram accounts, respectively.
3. Wookieepedia also assumes 100% game completion (see Template:Gamemechanics, Template:GameLSmechanics, and Template:GameDSmechanics)
4. Always include a thorough and well-written "Behind the scenes" that notes the subject's origin and relation to the series.
5. Please note that all sources released via the official site's HoloNet feature are to be listed under the "Sources" section of an article. This does not include the Galactic Timeline, which should be under "Appearances."

Important note on player choices[]

Base game[]

Per this consensus, it is Wookieepedia policy that all articles be written under the assumption that Republic player characters (Jedi Counsular, Jedi Knight, trooper, smuggler) selected light-side dialogue options in storyline conversations. Conversely, it has been agreed that Imperial player characters (Sith Inquisitor, Sith Warrior, Imperial agent, bounty hunter) chose dark-side conversation options. Alternative choices may be detailed in the "Behind the scenes" section.

Wookieepedia does not assert that these are the canonical story resolutions, and as such, editors are required to place the following tags on articles wherein such assumptions are found:

• For Republic player characters: {{RepublicHeader}} will remain at the top of the article and {{GameLS}} and {{GameLSmechanics}} will be used on articles related to their actions
• For Empire player characters: {{EmpireHeader}} will remain at the top of the article and {{GameDS}} and {{GameDSmechanics}} will be used on articles related to their actions

Expansions: the Alliance Commander[]

Similarly, per community consensus, it is policy that all articles assume that the Alliance Commander—the player character from Update 2.7 Forged Alliances onwards—was affiliated with the Republic and made light side decisions. In addition, contents in the Empire storyline that directly contradict the Republic storyline's contents are considered alternative gameplay choices, which may be written in the "Behind the scenes" section. Saboteur options shall also be considered alternative gameplay choices and may be recorded in the Bts section.
