'''Halopedia''' is a wiki about the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' fictional universe]]. It covers the ''Halo'' [[:category:Games|video games]], from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' to ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''; tie-in media and merchandise including [[:category:Books|published literature]], [[:category:Film|films]] and [[action figure]]s; as well as [[:category:People|notable people]] associated with the franchise. Much like [[w:c:starwars:Main Page|Wookieepedia]], Halopedia is a fan-driven encyclopedia and is not an official party of the Halo franchise. The wiki, along with its contents, is not intended to be a primary source of ''Halo'' information.

However, the English one is the most up-to-date version, with the others having very little content.
