| Should (or can we) make a message of the day it could also help get people who just joined or are joining Halopedia to get up to speed also it doesn't have to be newcomers it could also let people know what has been happening like maybe a big change in the 'Pedia?-[[User talk:Ony2816]]

| ==Project Stardust Reference Pictures==
| | How do you get skins for your userpage? I go to "Skins" under Preferences, and all I see is a big blank. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| 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.

| Permission of the creators of Project Stardust might be important, but I could certainly look into that.

| 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)

| | P.S. I tried to play online on the trial, and it still works. |
| 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.
| | P.P.S. Sorry for all the commenting; I don't mean to sound whiny :( |
|
| |

| 2. Small idea, borrowing it off Halo Nation of all places, a Monthly poll. Seems harmless enough.

| 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 just wanted to comment that our Halo 2 Articles seem to be a bit...inferior to the rest.

| :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).
| | == A quick suggestion for the sitenotice. == |
|
| |
|
| :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)
| | When it comes to linking to youtube videos, it's great when you put "&fmt=18" at the end of the link. It makes the video high quality. So [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yopn5QbO2XQ] would be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yopn5QbO2XQ&fmt=18]. |
|

|
| ::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)

|
| 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.

| 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.

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.

| :::::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. So in practice most of our sources will still likely end up having only one source for page numbers, though listing the chapter number (and preferably quote in the case of specific information) will still improve things a lot compared to the current situation. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 13:25, 2 March 2017 (EST)

In theater, you can view the game in third-person, or from other angles. To change difficulty, go to campaign and you can change it. You ''do not'' need xbox live to play the full Halo 3, but you will not be able to play over Live. Updates will be sent over xbox live, so you will need it.

The solo campaign takes you to level 1. Completing this takes you to level 2 and so on. You won't need Xbox Live membership to get a good experience from the game. |
| | *Campaign - This lets you go back and choose a level to play. You can only play levels you've unlocked, so you'll need to go to Solo Game first. |
| | *Forge - This is good for game experience. It allows you to edit the objects and weapons on a multiplayer map (You don't need xbox live for this). This can be very fun, imaginative etc. |
| | *Theater - Another nice tool. You can go back and watch the levels you played. You need to play a game first. The tool allows you to basically do what you ca with a DVD. Play, pause, rewind etc. You can record clips and save them. This requires no gameplay, as you're just watching what you did the day before. |
| | *Custom - Custom games. Create your own games, meaning you can adjust the weapons useable on a multiplayer map, player settings such as health and shields, weapon settings, like unlimited ammunition etc. This is good for two or more players. |
