I don't understand Specops306. How could this page be possibly vandilised by angry fans. wouldn't a more controversial topic's article such as [[Halo Legends]] be at a greater risk of being vandilised by angry fans. But as far as I recall that article was never locked. Please enlighten me.--[[User talk:Awesum Scrote|<SCROTE>]] 19:55, December 4, 2009 (UTC) | I don't understand Specops306.

:::My point was that there is a lot of hostility out there in the community to the direction Halo is going, and that Halo Waypoint, the most visible outlet of this, might attract unwanted attention.

Will the unlockable armors, avatar things, and awatds automatically be added to you profile if you enter Halo Waypoint for the first time if you have already unlocked the achievements needed? I have most of the achievements, so will it dump all these things on me on my first visit (I can't test because of lack of Gold)? <font style="papyrus">[[User:Bioniclepluslotr|<font color="lime">'''Bioniclepluslotr'''</font>]]</font> 21:42, 9 November 2010 (EST) | Will the unlockable armors, avatar things, and awatds automatically be added to you profile if you enter Halo Waypoint for the first time if you have already unlocked the achievements needed?

I realize this would take quite a bit of delegation and coordination (initially) but since we (Halopedia) provide transcripts for nearly every other kind of video (advertising, cutscenes, etc) concerning Halo, I feel we would be remiss in our duty if we did not make transcripts to the videos of Waypoint. Especially when it comes to the history of the Halo Universe, as many details unseen in the games and novels are revealed in these videos. We should not have to fire up Waypoint to search for that specific video in order to confirm information from it. If we made transcripts with hours after the video became available, we could link the transcripts in our references when citing them in other articles.
