Some articles have so many eras that not all of them show up, [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and [[Sangheili]] for example.  I would suggest that the template be modified so that it begins a new line when the first fills up.

== Xbox.com icon ==
Should the Xbox.com era icon be removed, seeing as the old Halo timeline page (what the icon was for) doesn't even exist anymore?
On a related note concerning the new era icons, I think that the UNSC emblem would be better as the Colonial and Insurrection era icon than a random insurgent symbol since the era is mainly about the UNSC itself. Anyways, that's just my opinion.  --[[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> 18:26, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

::I was thinking more along the lines of the black UNSC logo since it stands out from the background more and is more iconic than the colorful one, but after [http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Template:Eraicon&action=history repeatedly failing to implement it myself] I gave up. Where is that colorful UNSC logo from anyways?
::Also, I was thinking that the post-war era should have a recognizable in-universe icon. I see now that it has a... hammer, which probably has some clever connection to the era but seeing as the other icons are from the Halo universe itself (minus Earth), this one would benefit from being that as well. However, it is pretty hard to come up with an icon that would symbolize that era the best since we've seen so little of it that there are no recognizable icons yet. How about the Marathon logo? It's one of the franchise's most recognizable symbols along with the other icons and has been applied to a variety of places in the past. Plus, as the Reclaimer symbol, it kind of represents the post-war era; the humans are beginning to understand their place as the Reclaimers, and from clues we've seen, I doubt Halo 3 is the last we will see of the Forerunners. Now I know that the Marathon logo already being used as the Bungie staff icon, but I think there's a better replacement for that; the Seventh Column. While the Marathon logo has always been part of Bungie's imagery, the 7th column is the closest we have to a Bungie symbol beside their actual logo. Just a thought. --[[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> 07:46, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
:::The colourful UNSC logo was made by Tony. It's most certainly more eye-pleasing than the bland original. Also, done with the era template. Seventh Column now represents the Bungie Staff and Marathon logo represents the Post-war.- <font face="Century Gothic">[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7</font>aŋk</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])</sup></font> 08:02, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
::::Hm. Guess it's just a matter of taste then; I think the official UNSC logo looks a lot better and more coherent than the colorful one - the fact it's fan-made doesn't really help either. It's okay though; I'm going to have to stop complaining about everything before everyone starts thinking I'm doing it on purpose. --[[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> 08:11, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
== Music/achievements/levels ==
So, what are we going to do with the era icons in articles about things like music pieces, levels or achievements? I don't recall there being a mention of this in the original proposal. For me, it would make sense to use the game era icon in non-in-universe topics such as those but since we're apparently getting rid of them, are we only going to use the Realworld era? --[[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> 22:29, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

::Probably. That said, do the level articles need the "HCW" era or does it only go to in-universe topics? Really, we should come up with a page that has thorough instructions on the use of the new Era/appearance format. In fact, we should've had that before the new system was implemented... --[[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> 07:46, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
:::All of the timeline era icons should only be applied to in-universe topics. With that said, real-world articles need none of them other than the RW.- <font face="Century Gothic">[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7</font>aŋk</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])</sup></font> 07:52, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
==Does it work==
Is it just me or is this not working on the pages.

==343 Staff==
New era icon, 343 industries staff. Since we have <nowiki>{{BS}}</nowiki> as Bungie Staff, we should also have <nowiki>{{343S}}</nowiki> on the 343i Staff members pages. Thanks. :D —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|When I played Halo: CE]], [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|we didn't have any fancy-shmancy armor abilities...]])</sub> 12:03, 26 July 2011 (EDT)

==Mythos and an official timeline of eras==
So I was wondering if this should be updated at all based on the official timeline presented in [[Halo Mythos]]?
It lists the eras as follows:
* The Forerunner Legacy (10,000,000 BCE - 852 CE)
* Rise of Humanity (2080-2552)
* End of the War (2552)
* The Aftermath (2553-2556)
* Return of the Prometheans (2557-2558)
Seems like a reasonable list imo. --[[User:Crisperstorm|Crisperstorm]] ([[User talk:Crisperstorm|talk]]) 15:54, 6 September 2016 (EDT)
