Shouldn't the name be the Artifact or the Gate? The Building you find on the Ark that Cheif and Spark examine is the cartographer. Not the Artifact that creates the vortex. [[User:Prophet of Truth]]

The Bestiary referred to the portal device as the Schism Artifact. I think it should be renamed as such [[User talk:Ringworlder|Ringworlder]] 17:12, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

The beauty of a wiki is that anyone can fix this article, so if something needs changing, ''you'' can help!

A long time ago, a Jugusy fellow tagged this article with the rename template, saying it should be renamed "Portal at Voi". I too agree the page should be renamed, but I suggest that it should be called the "Portal at New Mombasa" or just "Portal at Mombasa". Why? Because the portal is clearly under New and Old Mombasa, not under Voi, which is mostly intact. Miranda Keyes also refers to the artifact as being in "the ruins of New Mombasa", not the ruins of Voi. End speech.

:I put "Portal at Voi" in the tag because that's the main title given to the structure in ''The Essential Visual Guide''. In addition, ''From the Office of Dr. William Arthur Iqbal'' repeatedly calls it the "Excession at Voi". To be precise, most of the structure is located between the two cities, even though parts of it stretch underneath New Mombasa (though you're right in that the bulk of the disk would've been underneath the slums that make up Old Mombasa). As for Keyes' comment, her mentioning New Mombasa is most likely due to the simple fact most people are familiar with the name and can form a connection to ''Halo 2'' rather than being a specific statement about geography. --[[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> 16:04, 26 December 2012 (EST)

:Hm, forgot about Evolutions. In that case, perhaps they call it "Portal at Voi" because Voi is the city you must pass through to reach it. I still say New Mombasa had a larger claim to the Portal's location, [[:File:Portal odst.png|as can be seen in this picture]], but officials are officials, so they decide the name.
