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==
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.  [[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!

:: 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.

== Fan content ==
I think there should be an article about Halo FAN CONTENT! I would do this, but I am INEXPERIENCED at making articles.{{Unsigned|Cheatcodeman}}
: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.

:::::No worries, thanks for checking first. I'd also highly recommend joining the Discord server, as we have a pretty active userbase there too (link in the navigation bar on the left) [[User:BaconShelf|<span style="color:green;">BaconShelf</span>]] <span style="font-size:90%">([[User:BaconShelf|talk]])</span> 16:58, May 27, 2021 (EDT)
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 ==
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)
: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 a favor ==
I need some pictures/screenshots of the Halo: Reach armor permutations, at [https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/540909659/ this] angle.
Must be done ASAP. I only need the armor in sets, all but the helmets.
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)
: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)

== Missing feature ==
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)
