Updating

Since the release of Halo 3, hardly any articles have been suitibly updated, usually usually shambolically, if at all. What should we do? 81.79.155.246 19:01, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

You should get as many people you know as is possible to help the wiki improve. The more people helping, the better the articles are. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 22:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Main Page Features

The featured article, quote and image haven't been updated in ages. Could somebody please do that? I think the image at least should be updated to a Halo 3 related one, it's not like there aren't many out there.

Featured articles are handled by the Monitors of Halopedia. Quotes and images do need updating though. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 22:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Sidebars

Could someone move Featured articles from navigation to community? After all, it is a community thing. Çya, Møuse 03:23, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Good point. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 03:52, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I prefer them in the Navigation section like Wikipedia, Wookieepedia, and countless other wikis have them. They're the best we have to offer, and far too many visitors will ignore the community section. -- Manticore ^{Talk | Contributions} 11:33, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

FFXIclopedia?

Is it just me, or is the head banner FFXIclopedia, instead of Halopedia? Spartan 112 21:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Mine works fine. Try clearing your cache. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 21:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

The FFXI logo is appearing on all Wikia wikis at the moment, at least for me. It is only affecting the quartz skin, and it may be browser dependent. Other users have reported the same problem. I reported it to the techs a day or so ago, so I assume they are working on the problem. -- Manticore ^{Talk | Contributions} 07:01, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

It's appearing on mine too. You think it might be a vandel who did it? —This unsigned comment was made by 76.199.4.26 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

I think it's just a database error on Wikia's end. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 22:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

User:ZaneFrontier/Cortana Project

It appears the admins are hating it. Should we make it an official section? I say yes. ZaneFrontier 22:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, first of all. See my signature. Second, no. It's simply impractically hard right now, and Halopedians generally aren't experts at computer programming and the like. Most of us are still in school. Çya, Møuse 22:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

News Section

Do we have a dedicated "recent news" section (a la Wikipedia or Memory Alpha)? If not, there probably should be one so at a glance people can see new developments about the movie, Tor Book #3, Chronicles, Wars or anything else that is Halo-related news. --WTRiker 23:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

We have the Oracle Newsletter and MediaWiki:sitenotice. That's good enough, I suppose. --The Great Cheese Warrior

Forge Team of Halopedia

Hey while I was gone I came up with a great idea that could benifit the wiki community. I came up with the idea of a new Usergroup/Community Team for Halopedia, Halopedias very own Forge team! Now before I go on understand that I know about the policys and rules about this so consider this to be an idea(just like the Monitors of Halopedia). Basicly this would be a group of any number of individuals with a leader/organizer. Screening would included so not everyone joins. the rules would be that you need to have a basic knowledge of forge, have a good working knowledge on how to make FAIR,FUN, and EXCITING maps. Noone who makes maps for a single person or team would be accepted. People who wiss to join would send me(if it is OK that I be founder and leader,open to suggestion btw) an application on 1.Why they want to join and why they think they would benifit the community. 2. Examples of maps they have made. pics or vids would be great. and 3. If they have a particular role or job they would wiss to have such as Sandtrap only maps,etc. I am still thinking it over, but tell me what you think! WRAITH 15:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I think this project would work better if it was open for all to join, like Halopedia:Warz. I see no reason why there needs to be a leader either, the group as a whole could decide which maps to use. -- Manticore ^{Talk | Contributions} 16:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, if this idea works, I'm interested. :) --Blemo

I vote in favor of this. --Template:LordSig2
