Timeline images cropped

Under the header "Fictional timeline" on mobile devices (ie iPad Pro, 17.5.1, Safari, landscape) the two images are cropped right side, in both settings to mobile version same as to Desktop version. Turning to portrait only shifts the cropping a bit. Cropping appears for first image at about -45, for second image at 25. Only downloading the images reveals their correct, much bigger size, no other possibilities are working. 2001:9E8:A5E4:6E00:CD85:2C78:F463:558F (talk) 14:29, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting error

In TV section at "Fun with Nubs," there is a date error. KBHWKFANATIC (talk) 08:15, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected now 🙂 MadGuy7023 (talk) 08:19, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars in other media?

this Star Wars in other media article feels out of place. Why not merge it here? It's not long enough to deserve its own article, imo Lililolol (talk) 21:57, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article trimming. Wikipedia needs pages to be short enough for easier reading management. KBHWKFANATIC (talk) 03:23, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Error in "forwarding" for Attack of the Clones

Under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars#Films the "forwarding" when hovering over the Film Attack of the Clones seems to have an error; instead of showcasing the beginning of the Wiki article, it only shows what seems like random emojis and as far as i can tell it does it on every "forwarding" to that specific Movie.

Im not well versed with Editing etc on wikipedia, so im sorry if this is the wrong place for it, i just noticed it on this page.

Sadly, it wont let me add a Screenshot of the error. Wikiaccforthings (talk) 21:40, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There was some vandalism there that was very quickly reverted [1] here that you're seeing. I don't know how the hover tool pulls data, but I would imagine it will refresh itself soon enough with the correct information. Darkage7 _[Talk] 21:57, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request for links to Star Wars universe

Do you think we can add a hyperlink when is says "Fictional universe" in the lead and "Star Wars universe" in the premise, we could link it to the Universe of Star Wars page. I tried doing this earlier but my changes were reversed.
