| {{oppose}} - The reason H:A doesn't have a mainspace article is because it has nothing to do with the Halo universe. It's about the administrators on a fan site, which is unrelated to our topic.
| |
| | |
| Halopedia, however, is a notable real-world Halo thing. For this reason, it would get noted. It's a notable topic, it's about Halo, and it's legitimate.
| |
| | |
| H:A explains who the administrators on Halopedia are, what they do, and so on. Only Halopedians would care. People who aren't Halopedians wouldn't care about the administrative team. People who are non-Halopedians can very well care about Halopedia, and would have a great chance of wanting to learn about it. Chiafriend12 02:53, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

| ::There's already a Halopedia:Halopedia. It's called Halopedia:About. Also, Halopedia can have an article about itself but you should only have information that you would know from the outside. If it helps, imagine you're writing about Halopedia in another wiki.--[[Special:Contributions/99.237.222.73|99.237.222.73]] 14:51, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

| ==Bungie's Reaction(s)==
| |
| Is there a page that discusses or mentions Bungie's reaction(s) to Halopedia? Judging from the one comment I've read (Luke's on Halopedia's [[Seven|7]] page) it's somewhat favorable. But I'm wondering is there more to it than that? I ask here because I couldn't think of a better place for such material. - [[User talk:Lord Hyren|Lord Hyren]] 02:20, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Unfortunately, Bungie has only mentioned Bungie a few times, but to have been mentioned at all is an honor.

| While we're talking about logos, are we gonna use a new logo when we get much higher quality (and cooler looking) pictures from Anniversary or Halo 4?

| :I like that idea. I don't exactly like the transition between the ''Halo: CE'' and ''Halo: CEA'' graphics in the logo. A picture of the Master Chief in the full ''Anniversary'' graphics would be good in my opinion.

| == Halo Nation (Halo Wikia) ==
| |
| | |
| Don't worry, this time this post will be non-bias, non slander, non offensive, etc.
| |
| | |
| Apparently Halopedia and Halo Nation (Halo wikia) share a lot of the same pages because of the history.
| |
| | |
| "Halopedia's growing community began to present a major problem for its creators; the site's growing size was producing a bill in excess of $150 a month for server usage. Throughout May, June, and July, the site would be sporadically down, until it finally went offline for several weeks.
| |
| Eventually, Halopedia had to be merged with halo.wikia.com, a formerly rival wiki simply referred as Halo Wikia that did not have the same issues. Despite the process of having to manually import every article from the original Halopedia (referred to as old.Halopedia due to its temporary filename), the site ultimately benefited with several new active users."
| |
| | |
| Maybe we should mention this on the article? The reason why both wikis share a lot of the same pages and content?[[User:Editorguy|Editorguy]] ([[User talk:Editorguy|talk]]) 22:20, 1 June 2016 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| :It's already mentioned, in slightly different words: "In 2006, the original host was unable to financially support the wiki, prompting Halopedia to merge with Wikia's Halo Wiki site". FYI, there's a more exhaustive explanation of the history between Halopedia and Halo Nation [[Halopedia:FAQ#Why are there two Halo wikis?|on the FAQ]], though I've been considering making it more accessible since there seems to be a lot of confusion around about it. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:13, 2 June 2016 (EDT)
