Halopedia (then Halo Wiki) was originally a part of AgentSeethroo's then clan, the BlackboxRepublic. After seeing the success of the wiki (and the demise of the clan), he decided to create GamerFocus along with the other wikis. Soon after H2wiki posted their ad at Bungie, we changed our name to Halopedia to differenciate between the two, moved to halopedia.org, and posted our own ad a bit later. Also, I'm pretty sure Porplemontage was there from the start; I became a sysop when GamerFocus was created. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 19:41, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== A major question... ==


Where was Halopedia created? The USA? United Kingdom? Australia? - [[User talk:Scot 113|Scot 113]] 15:58, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Read through the article, and take a wild guess. Then, if you know who made the site, look on their userpage and it might say where they live. That will anseer the question. [[User:SPARTAN-118|118, Knave-busting General]]
== Affiliation ==
Shouldn't the bar of links on the bottom of the wiki be mentioned somewhere? You know, the one that states this:
Donkey Kong Wiki | Halopedia | Kingdom Hearts Wiki | Pikipedia | SmashWiki | Super Mario Wiki
And shouldn't the wiki's alliance with the NIWA and HaloRing be mentioned as well in the current section? Just wondering. ~[[User: Jman98|Jman]][[User Talk: Jman98|98]]~ 11:18, 22 March 2012 (EDT)
:HaloRing is mentioned on [[Halopedia:Community|Project:Community]]. Also, we are not affiliated with NIWA, NIWA is for wikis that revolve around Nintendo games. The bar on the bottom is an advertisement about other wikis that our host, [[User:Porplemontage|Steve]] hosts.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 13:08 22 March 2012 (EST)
:Well, not much is known actually about HaloRing; we simply now that it's a hub that connects every Halo site (official or otherwise). As for NIWA, we are affiliated to them; we support their goals and principles, essentially the need to promote wiki-independence and to cut off corporate greediness (such example being Wikia and their lack of care for the wiki community, though things have change to an extent since the migration). — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 15:18, 22 March 2012 (EDT)
== Previous link ==
Halopedia's previous link was halo.wiki.gallery. I found that out by an old link, and the fact that it redirects to Halopedia.org. This should be added in (the date that the URL changed){{Unsigned|EthanGaming117}}
:That is the "Gallery/File/so on" link. It is to assist images/files loading and all that, more a behind the scenes change to stop issues and fix the few that exist. (Also please remember to add signatures)-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 05:03, August 23, 2021 (EDT)
