Battles in the Second Galactic Civil War Infobox

I wasn't around when the battles mentioned in the infobox occurred so we could use this talk page to aggregate information and coordinate better. --Raith Starlight 15:29, 19 April 2014 (GMT)

Galaxy 2.0 Changes

I created this page back in Year 12-13 with the intention of coordinating the impact of Galaxy 2.0 changes such as with Talk:Cron Conflict but forgot about this. Since we've built up some mass of editors on the Holocron, I figured that I should give it a second shot. Should we retcon some of the articles to be consistent with the new locations? --Raith Starlight 15:29, 19 April 2014 (GMT)

Yes. Whenever possible to use the galaxy 2.0 name for a place, we should do so for the purpose of consistency.--- Prard`aga Rono 17:09, 19 April 2014 (GMT)
Yes, we should retcon the locations. I'm currently retconning the Battle of Meridian article in my sandbox. Unfortunately, this means its name must also be retconned... The Battle of Beta is more problematic in terms of locations... -- Rupert Havok 19:40, 20 April 2014 (GMT)
We could retcon the original name (old Galaxy 1.0 location) as part of an operation codename and say that the old location was used by the aggressor as operation codename to mislead the defender on the target --Raith Starlight 20:22, 20 April 2014 (GMT)
I thought the current explanation was that explorers had recently misnamed sectors due to the information lost as a result of political disputes(rise of the Galactic Empire,etc.) --- Prard`aga Rono 21:41, 20 April 2014 (GMT)
Is there is an official explanation around Galaxy 1.0 -> 2.0 transition from the admins? The closest I could find is when the first system was unveiled to kick off the system search on the GNS Article 30889. --Raith Starlight 21:51, 20 April 2014 (GMT)
That is something you will have to ask Dreighton or one of the other Admins. --- Prard`aga Rono 21:54, 20 April 2014 (GMT)
I wouldn't simply retcon everything. It takes away from the historical value of Holocron pages. Instead the community should decide on a story to properly explain the galaxy changes. An option is that on an OOC level, we consult with both the New Republic and Galactic Empire and see if they would agree on an explanation. For example: cartographers from across the galaxy agreed during a convention to do away with the old traditions where several governments had different ways of ordering the galaxy and using different names for planets.
