==Project Stardust Reference Pictures==
==Help US!==
I just thought I'd make something of a suggestion here. There's a fangame on Roblox called Project Stardust (which I will link when I get home), it's basically like a space warship combat game. It has lots of factions, but it has a whole section for Halo and some of the ship models are honestly really amazing. I'm not sure the canon status of some of them, like I know a select few of the ships in the game are complete fan works.


However, there are some ships that are actual Halo universe ships, but are never pictured due to only ever appearing in books or what naught. One such example is the '''[[Razor-class prowler]]'''. On the current page, there are no reference images for it as I assume they do not exist, however the Razor-class is modeled in Project Stardust with unknown canon status. There are of course other examples, but that's just the one that came to mind. There are other modeled ships that are faithful to the canon that I think would be good to add, such as the '''[[Halcyon-class light cruiser]]''' and the '''[[Paris-class heavy frigate]]''', which have models in the game that I'm very impressed with.
Want to help out and make this site a better place?  [[:Category:Stubs|Here are a list of tasks that need to be done.]]


Permission of the creators of Project Stardust might be important, but I could certainly look into that.
==Halopedia Image Gallery==
I know I'm not a community member here really, but I really really love Halopedia and appreciate all of the knowledge here, and I just thought it could be helpful to include some of these as gallery images, especially for ships that have very little coverage.  [[User:Spr1ft17|--Sprift (They/them don&#39;t forget)]] ([[User talk:Spr1ft17|talk]]) 11:30, August 27, 2024 (EDT)August 27th, 2024, 11:30AM EST
:Thanks for the suggestion, but Halopedia has an explicit hard line on not using images from ''any'' kind of fan project or fan art - we only permit images from officially-released ''Halo'' sources from Bungie, 343, Microsoft, and so forth. The sole exception is a very small handful of [[Sins of the Prophets]] images, as they were officially used by 343 themselves as part of collaborations in the 2022 Encyclopedia and Canon Fodder articles (and even then, no images from the mod except those ''explicitly'' published by 343 in an official context are allowed).[[User:BaconShelf|<span style="color:green;">BaconShelf</span>]] <span style="font-size:90%">([[User:BaconShelf|talk]])</span> 11:33, August 27, 2024 (EDT)


Okay, understood!
Just thinking that to really improve the space we need some more graphics like they have at [[w:c:starwars|Wookieepedia]].  A [[Halopedia Image Gallery|Halopedia Image Gallery]] has been created and I hope everyone can show off their Photoshop skills.

:1) I'd like to do that because of it's importance. 2) I don't know whether or not we have the code to do that. 3) A featured image is something I've wanted to for quite a while but have never gotten around to it. It would certainly be a nice addition. 4) That's fine with me. 5) Yeah, it just needs more promotion which is more or less up to the administration team.

:As for your fifth point, I think we shouldn't just nominate articles because we need more featured articles. It should be based on articles that are legitimately worthy of it. I've been kinda pedantic with that lately and there is a handful of articles currently "featured" that I think could still use some work (including several I've nominated).
*I think the covanant weapons page needs to be updated with a plasma mortar article like the one I created but that was deleted. -- {{unsigned|Leckgolo434}}


:I've considered the idea of having a featured content system similar to Wookieepedia, with "comprehensive" (for smaller articles under 250 words) and "good" articles (articles with a word count between comprehensive and featured articles, as opposed to Wikipedia's "good" articles which are simply lower in quality than featured articles). However, I feel like it would be difficult to maintain. And where do we draw the line for articles that can be considered "comprehensive" and articles that contain everything about a subject but are literally just one sentence and hard to consider "featured" worthy (in my opinion, [[Minister (planet)|Minister]] is a good example of a comprehensive article here). --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 23:18, 27 February 2017 (EST)
== Pronunciation ==


::The "comprehensive" articles are definitely an idea worth considering. In general, different kinds of projects like this are great as long as they keep getting updated - it's good to keep in mind that Halopedia used to have all sorts of community activities in its heyday (like Halopedian of the Month, etc.) which have since gotten discontinued due to a lack of activity. Then again, our user base seems to have rebuilt itself somewhat after the dip that followed the domain change, so it may be worth a shot to try these kinds of things again. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 23:38, 27 February 2017 (EST)

==Book Chapter vs Page numbers==
:"Our fighters are mopping up the last of their recon picket now, nothing serious. But, I've isolated approach signatures from multiple CCS battle groups; make it three capitol ships per group. And in about 90 seconds they'll be all over us" -Cortana, Pillar of Autumn level. However there is no mention of the term Battlecruiser.
I have a huge thing I wanna suggest. But its one of those things that really does need to be discussed cause its started to become a problem of recent years. That problem is the rising popularity in Digital media. That even some Halo Books start off as Digital media.


Now why is this a problem you ask. Well it causes hell on the whole system we have where we say the Book name, then say the page it is on. As numerous formats might have some chapters being on radically different pages.
:'''and'''


Now I propose this possible method to change how we source a book. Throwing out the old method of page numbers on their own. We say the Book/Novella name as normal, but now we say the chapter instead. This ensures no matter what users can still find content if they wish. And in brackets we put the format used and the page in that format the item was found on.
:HBO calls the [[Truth and Reconciliation]] a Covenant Battlecruiser in this [[:Image:UNSC-Covenant-scalechart4.gif|image]] but no mention of CCS-class


For example if I was wanting to source a SMAC in Halo the fall of reach 2001 paperback edition. I would put the following down.
:'''Combine with'''


'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''' ''-Chapter 33 (Physical paperback - Page 256'')

::I believe there was some discussion about this a while back and I agree. The chapter thing would definitely be useful for more reasons than one, and we've already been identifying the early novel reissues and Google Play editions in sources for some time. Labeling every edition is just the logical next step from that. To avoid radically changing to our existing format, however, I'd make the new one something like the following:
==Ship Naming Scheme==


::'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', Chapter 15, ''page 77'' (2001 paperback); ''page 113'' (2010 paperback); ''page 4'' (Google Play)
[[User talk:RelentlessRecusant|RelentlessRecusant]] has been able to hack the article titles allowing special characters to be used to display the article name i.e. it's now possible to ilovebees all in lower characters.


::Basically, letting people add different formats based on their ability and interest. In practice, most sources would probably include just one. As for Arcmind's suggestion, quotes could be added after the page numbers like we've already been doing in some cases (see [[Banished#Sources]] for an example). --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 11:04, 2 March 2017 (EST)

:::That's another great idea, but then you have some people who might not have access to all of the various versions of the book. I mean some might and I am sure there are man fans who will, but then the wiki would have some sourced completely and other would not, thereby causing a ripple in our consistency. It might work for most stuff since we all probably have it, but would it prove reliable in all situations?

For all ships, I recommend...''XYZ''-class Cruiser, ''ABC''-class Frigate, etc...for individual ship names, use: UNSC ''XYZ'', or for Covvie ships, use ''JKL''. This is standard naval terminology. To write a hyperlink to a UNSC ship within an article, insert:
<nowiki>{{UNSCShip|Ship Name Goes Here}}</nowiki>
For example, <nowiki>{{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}</nowiki> appears as {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}.


::::I'm afraid it's just a reality we won't be able to consistently list every edition in our sources, but I'd say listing one or two is still better than having no page numbers at all, especially with specific information like measurements.

::::I understand. However in that case we should at least the pick the two most common versions that we should always use for our sources; a hard back - if possible - and a paperback version.

:::::That should be preferred, but at the same time, not everyone can be expected to have access to even those two types of editions. I, for example, have only been buying the Google Play ebook versions since ''New Blood'' as they're more handy in most ways.

:::Same deal - only rarely, if they can be proven to be of substantial scale within their space, and have been recognised by multiple news outlets (IE articles on sites such as PC Gamer, Kotaku, Polygon etc) or 343 themselves. We have pages dedicated to some mod projects such as OPTRE and SoTP that have recieved official recognition from 343 themselves, and have extensive media coverage outside of that. In the case of your game (which I would assume is what this is about), it would unfortunately not fall under these guidelines.

There is an entire wiki for fan content. If you are talking about a display of works, such as Red vs Blue, there is a section on the Main page about it. The fan wiki is Halo Fanon. {{Unsigned|Sangheili4657}}


== RvB references ==
:This is how the world ends... --[[User:Rotaretilbo|Rot]] 2327 6.12.06


I have looked TWICE, and I found nothing. Could I (or someone else, LOL) create an article on references to RvB in Halo? --Da BOI OF DA YEAAARR CHEATCODEMAN 19:16, May 29, 2021 (EDT)
==Inside the Halo Universe==
:There is a section under the Red vs. Blue article [[Red_vs._Blue#Homage_from_the_Halo_series|here]]. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">'''[[User:JackVibe|<span style="color:#000;">Jack</span>]][[User talk:JackVibe|<span style="color:#888;">Vibe</span>]]'''</span> 05:58, May 30, 2021 (EDT)

I need some pictures/screenshots of the Halo: Reach armor permutations, at [https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/540909659/ this] angle.
== Banshee Builders ==


Must be done ASAP. I only need the armor in sets, all but the helmets.
At my Wikipedia user page, I made an unofficial group called the Banshee Builders where members would do research on Halo Banshees (Possibly other vehicles), post the information gathered, and possibly even make something resembling a working Banshee some day. It would be interesting to other Halo fans and also make video game history. The link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eiyuu_Kou. I hope this will grow into something special. Right now I need somebody to put it in a nice format and request its own page if it does well. I also used one of your pictures for the Banshee Builders' user box. If it is copyrighted, let me know what I must add to allow use of it. --[[User:69.239.175.29|69.239.175.29]] 22:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
If someone could do that, I be thankful! Every picture will be used with credit. --Da BOI OF DA YEAAARR CHEATCODEMAN 20:12, June 7, 2021 (EDT)
:The image is copyrighted. It is allowed on article pages under fair use, but Wikipedia does not allow such images on user pages. My suggestion is to just use the initials BB for your userbox. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 08:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


:Just a heads up that this area isnt for requests like this. It is for discussions on the wiki as a whole. It may be better to request help on more public spaces.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 20:42, June 7, 2021 (EDT)
== Covenant Speak English? ==


::What would you recommend? --Da BOI OF DA YEAAARR CHEATCODEMAN 12:37, June 8, 2021 (EDT)
You know what I dont understand? How can the Covenant speak English! That makes no sense. At first I thought maybe when you play as the Covenant its just translated for gameplay reasons but how can Sergeant Johnson talk to the Arbiter? How did Tarturaus talk to Miranda Keyes? It seems reasonable that the Master Cheif can hear Covenant speak English cause Cortana would instantly translate it.--[[User:JohnSpartan117|JohnSpartan117]] 07:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


== Missing feature ==
:The Covenant can speak English. This is clarified in the books. After destroying Harvest, they transmit a message in English: "Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument." However, the stuff in High Charity is most likely just preformed in English for the sake of the gamer. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 08:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 
Halopedia has a missing feature that Wikipedia has, and that's the '''protected edit request'''. It posts something on the talk page like [[Wikipedia:MediaWiki talk:Anoneditwarning#Protected edit request on 8 September 2021|this]]. And when it's done, the person that did it would reply with {{Tem|Done}}. And when the request is posted, the section says "Protected edit request on example date". Please use {{Tem|Support}} if you think it's a good idea, and {{Tem|Oppose}} if you think it's a bad idea for whatever reason.

:Yea please dont put this stuff to a vote off the gate. We on the staff try to investigate stuff before we reach that stage. Assuming we dont just push it at that point.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 17:09, September 8, 2021 (EDT)
