WookieeProject: Pride

WookieeProject: Pride is aWookieeProject dedicated to improving ourin-universe articles aboutCanon andLegendscharacters who are LGBTQIA+, and out-of-universe articles aboutLGBTQIA+Star Warscontributors, such as artists and actors. LGBTQIA+ is an initialism for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual/aromantic, and other related communities and identities.

Wookieepedians who wish to participate do not have to identify as LGBTQIA+; outing yourself is not required to participate. However, we do request that you already support and have knowledge regarding LGBTQIA+ rights and representation. This is for the safety and comfort of those involved, and because it is the basis of this project. We encourage those who are comfortable doing so to state your pronouns, both to prevent misgendering and to help foster an environment where pronoun-sharing is normalized so others feel safe to share.

Thank you toRobin Pronovost who graciously gave permission to use their artwork for this project!

Project goals

Our initial goals are expandingstubs and addressingmaintenance issues in articles listed on ourcurrent projects tab. We also seek to promote articles tofeatured,good, orcomprehensive status—peer-reviewed articles that are highlighted to readers as examples of the best work on Wookieepedia. Elevating these pages to "status articles" will better represent the contributions of LGBTQIA+ authors and artists to the franchise and reflect the importance of LGBTQIA+ representation within these stories. Check out thecurrent status articles and nominations!

This WookieeProject is focused not on fighting what we hate, butsaving what we love. However, some articles do not represent the community well; it may be due to how they're written or because the source material is problematic. We intend to address these articles as they're identified rather than focusing our attention on them.

Though WookieeProjects are dedicated to articles, we will also discuss and propose site policies that better represent and protect this community. No one should have to feel alone when they're advocating for change. If a consensus is reached here regarding a policy proposal, it will then be taken to the Senate Hall for Wook-wide discussion.

Toqgers(any pronouns), a long-time advocate for change on Wookieepedia, has maintained a thorough Google spreadsheet onCanon LGBT Star Wars Characters foryears now, which has helped guide this project's canon coverage.

Our initial focus is:

• Chelli Lona Aphra. For Pride Month 2021, we collaborated withProject Stardust andWookieeProject Galaxy's Edge to un-doom the article for the officialStar Wars disaster lesbian, in:Project Stardust: Chelli Lona Aphra! Someday, she won't be doomed... someday.
• Ferus Olin, former featured article torestore to status
• Expanding stub articles, especially those about real folks
