Our [[Halopedia:Discord | Our [[Halopedia:Discord server|Discord]] community also deserves a lot of praise, you lot are amazing, so many discussions on Halo, so many friendships made, so many ideas that we eventually pushed onto the wiki itself.

We also want to thank them for continuing to make experiences so we can all keep going on with our wiki project. | We'd also like to directly thank 343 Industries for giving us a chance after the Wiki merger, their support has helped motivate the wiki team make the wiki a better place for everyone.

Now for those wondering how Halopedia started, it began as an idea to be the first Halo Wiki, opening its doors under the clan "blackboxrepublic" on November 4, 2004 with [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeeThroo]] as its host.
