Why isn't there a weight or mass section? --{{User:Cally99117/Sig}}
Why isn't there a weight or mass section? --{{User:Cally99117/Sig}}
:We don't know enough individual character masses - I think it's just John. Weight is entirely out of the question because the series does not take place exclusively on Earth (weight relies on gravitational pull); again, we only know so many G-ratings for planets featured.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 09:40, 4 June 2011 (EDT)
::''The Essential Visual Guide'' lists the masses of about two dozen characters. Would adding a "mass" field to the template be worthwhile now? --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 14:49, 26 July 2011 (EDT)
== Birth/Death/Homeworld field revision proposal ==
Instead of the "Date of birth" and "Date of death" fields and the separate "Homeworld" field we're currently using, I think we should adopt a more common and handy format used by most wikis. This would involve having "Born" and "Died" fields, in which both the time and place of the character's birth and death would be specified; a "homeworld" field wouldn't be needed at all. This format would allow adding both the birthplace and place of death alongside the dates, while currently, we only specify the home planet and the place of death is not mentioned at all.
This would also apply to all other infoboxes. --[[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> 03:16, 28 July 2011 (EDT)
:{{support}} It is better. It shows the character's home world and date of birth on the same field. Location of death is also easier to find. —[[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> 06:59, 28 July 2011 (EDT)
:{{Support}} - I fully agree. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 10:24, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
:{{Support}} - Aye.--[[User talk:The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari|The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari]] 10:42, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
==Service number and UNSCMID fields==
Should the template have fields for service numbers and UNSCMIDs? We even have a field for blood type now, so listing these numbers shouldn't be a problem. Someone could also add a civilian consultant number field, though, as we only know Halsey's and Anders' - CC-409871 and CC-500493, respectively - this could fall under the service number field. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 10:24, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
:UNSCMIDs and service numbers definitely deserve their own fields, but I'm not sure if we need one for civilian consultant IDs - as you said, we only know two of them and it seems unlikely we'll learn many more (ONI civilian consultants aren't that common after all) and as such the field would be pointless most of the time. --[[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> 11:01, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
::I understand. So, would it be prudent to simply list Halsey's and Anders's CCID's in the service number field? --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 11:03, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
:::Yeah. We could add "<small>(civilian consultant ID)</small>" after the number to distinguish it from a regular military service number. --[[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> 11:14, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
