==Project Stardust Reference Pictures==
==Ads being covered on the Main Page==
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.  
On smaller resolutions the current version of the main page table covers the ads, due to the poll box and the featured image being in two side-by-side tables. This is a bad thing (tm). Some suggestions for making the table more dynamic:
* Don't use a globally wrapping table, a div would be contstrained (in most browsers) by the content div.
* Split the columns a bit more into their own separate tables. A table looks nice, but doesn't allow content to find its natural parting.
* Try to align inflexible content, such as the poll and the image. This would allow the opposing column, in extremely small browsers or resolutions, to squeeze to the width of the widest word (worst case).


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.

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.

: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)

== Navigation section ==
OK I'm really frustrated by this. Nearly every Spartan page whose rank has not been specifically mentioned is listed as a Petty Officer Second Class. Yes, I know all the SPARTAN-IIs were promoted to this rank upon "graduation", but that doesn't mean that was the same for every SPARTAN-III (I know some have been mentioned as PO2's though). It definitely doesn't make sense that Gamma Company SPARTAN-IIIs (who are still in training!) are listed as PO2. They haven't "graduated" yet!!! I think we need to make a page to list references for Spartan characters' ranks, and then list the others without references as unknown. Does anyone agree with me on this? Is anyone else irritated? -- [[User:Manticore|<b><span style="color: black">Manticore</span></b>]] [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] [[User talk:Manticore|<sup><span style="color: black">Talk</span></sup>]]<sup> | </sup>[[Special:Contributions/Manticore|<sup><span style="color: black">CSV</span></sup>]] 13:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I have a few notes that I thought of that should be relatively easy to make or change. All thanks to Spartacus's idea to change the navi bar.


1. Could we perhaps move the "Did You Know?" to the bottom moving up the "Article Improvement Drive". Makes the improvement area more clear so they ye know get done.
== Improvement Drive? ==


2. Small idea, borrowing it off Halo Nation of all places, a Monthly poll. Seems harmless enough.
When I visited the page for the selection of the next improvement drive, I noticed that it is VERY unorganized.  Personally I think that we should set it up like the featured article and stuff, with the nice, organized voting. That way we will be able to tell fairly which improvement drive is next.  Also we should have a page that stating everything that needs to be accomplished before a section is considered good, and you can check off what has been finished.  I think that will make our improvement drives more effective.  Whad does everybody else think? [[User:Dockman|Raging Phantom]] 19:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
:There's never really been a lot of demand for the drive, its sort of fallen my the wayside lately. If you would like to imprive it, feel free. -[[User:ED|ED]] 18:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


3. Another idea, a featured image? Might be cool to start that. I mean we have featured everything else, might be cool to have that.
I have changed the voting page. Please note that I erased all nominations from before 2007, so if you had an idea before 2007 and want to have it nominated, you will have to do it again.

4. Could we perhaps lower the "Welcome back, Reclaimer!" user count from 16 to 12?
==Ranking==
Do you guys know how [[Template talk:FeaturedArticle|featured]] articles have a [[Legendary]] picture in the ''very'' top-right corner? Why not expand that, where stubs gets an [[Easy]] symbol, good articles get a [[Normal]] image, and great articles get a [[Heroic]] image? Respect them Grunts, [[User:Mouse among men|Mouse]] [[User talk:Mouse among men|<sup>Squeak to me.</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Mouse among men|<sup>The mouse's work.</sup>]]
:We would have to make some pretty extensive criteria for that. Right now, the symbol just represents FA status, just like the master chief helmet in the corner of admin's unserpages represent admin status. -[[User:ED|ED]] 01:34, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


5. We need more Featured stuff to be nominated, that is something we can all work on fairly easy enough.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 19:24, 27 February 2017 (EST)
If anyone wants to do it, I have an idea for how that might be structured.
: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).
== IDEA ==


: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)
I just had the best idea in the jole wiki of halo!! HAloepedia could have 3 different political parties kinda. Each admit would be kinda in charge. it might be the differnt friend groups maybe or somthing. like the one id be in would have Caboose, climax, digipatd, josh-29, Terror, Forerunner, maybe rot and more. we'd have dragonclaws as our admit repersentive maybe. and we have a vote every month or 3 or something. That would be really cool and would bring users together. It would be great. maybe for the fan art thing. the 3 admits and one elected person from each there parties would have a set on in it. or something.

::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==
== Halo Comic Books ==
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.  
Theres a halo comic book sieres coming out is that going to be added to the haloverse section.
:Of course. It will be mentioned if it comes out, and it will be extensively added if it is Bungie approved canon. -[[User:ED|ED]] 17:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


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.

::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.

Say something, then I'll go back to the version before you said that with my IP address and sign it as Guesty, but on the history page it will still say 24.251.185.125, rather than Guesty, regardless of which version I editted or who I signed as.

:: it i better because to know that it is the wiki, otherwise, i think it is non-wiki page, and if we still have <code>/$1</code> article path, typing <code>/wiki/$1</code> (example: http://www.halopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)  will result landing on the "Wiki/Main_Page" and I want to land on "Main Page" without the "Wiki/" prefix.

I think there should be an article about Halo FAN CONTENT! I would do this, but I am INEXPERIENCED at making articles.{{Unsigned|Cheatcodeman}}
A-Ok. I'm with u all the way. (hey that rymes!)
:I'd recommend you take a look at our [[Halopedia:Notability_policy#Fan_content|existing guidelines]] on fanworks. We do allow articles on a very small number of fan works (such as [[Red vs. Blue]]) that are of substantial scale and notability within the franchise. However, due to the sheer amount of fan content out there, we typically very rarely allow for new fan project articles to be created (and as of recent, we've been re-evaluating which ones to keep or remove). I'd recommend checking out [https://halofanon.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page Halo Fanon] for more in the realm of fan content.[[User:BaconShelf|<span style="color:green;">BaconShelf</span>]] <span style="font-size:90%">([[User:BaconShelf|talk]])</span> 16:32, May 27, 2021 (EDT)
::What about fan Games? Are those Fine? --[[User:Cheatcodeman|Cheatcodeman]] ([[User talk:Cheatcodeman|talk]]) 16:37, May 27, 2021 (EDT)Cheatcodeman
:::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}}

== Missing feature ==
although RamblerMan's votes were taken off eventualy, this is still classed as vandalism! It took at least 7 revisions before they even realised that there were no votes 4 him at all. I believe RamblerMan made 5 votes 4 himself to make him be the user of the month! was it looked up to? '''I suggest that higher ranking users should keep the page on their watchlist incase of a VANDAL CRISIS!!!''' {{UserForerunner}}


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.

:What are you blubbering about? BSP and EvilWays's votes were both from the same IP address, and, because they were from an IP, they were not logged idn. Because of that, they don't count. And RamblerMan hasn't even ''touched'' that page, at least not since January 4, since that's as far back as I looked. Linky to revision, mb?

== UNSC Personnel Template? ==


== How do I create an article / page. ==
I was thinking that UNSC personnel could use a template for basic facts to be displayed on the character pages. Unfortunatly, while I've found success editting existing templates, I have no idea how to start one from scratch. If anyone is interested in creating one, I'd be glad to start filling them in.

== Reorganize the main page ==
 
It's probibly just me, but doesn't it seem to make more sense to put the current events, featured article, did you know, featured quote, halopedian of the month, featured picture, and the improvement drive underneath publicity section.  Most people new to halopedia are looking for halo information, not halopedian of the month and the current events of the halopedian community.  And the other things I mentioned don't get updated enough to really be more important than "Inside the Halo Universe" the "Halo Games" and the other sections that are currently near the bottom.
