Hi. why are you redirecting pages with good content to pages with none? -- [[User:Sannse|sannse]] http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png <small>([[ | Hi. why are you redirecting pages with good content to pages with none? -- [[User:Sannse|sannse]] http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png <small>([[w:c:community:Forum:Community_Central_Forum|help forum]] | [[w:c:community:Blog:Wikia_Staff_Blog |blog]])</small> 23:56, March 24, 2011 (UTC) | ||
:It was decided that due to the dwindling community population here, and the presense of an independent Halopedia, a second Halo encyclopaedia would be both inefficient and hard to maintain (we already suffered an horrific vandal attack involving unspeakable content being added into high-traffic templates which could not be removed from computers until fully re-cached). We chose to, for example, merge minor Jiralhanae characters into a unified list of such characters - it is both easy to police; maintain and to find information. It was also decided, again due to the presense of an independent Halopedia, that we should focus on a different aspect - as such we have become a more 'community-driven' wiki in place of an encyclopaedic-driven. Fan-made content that has made recognision on official sites, for example, are now considered "notable".-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 00:21, March 25, 2011 (UTC)'' | :It was decided that due to the dwindling community population here, and the presense of an independent Halopedia, a second Halo encyclopaedia would be both inefficient and hard to maintain (we already suffered an horrific vandal attack involving unspeakable content being added into high-traffic templates which could not be removed from computers until fully re-cached).

::As I've said before... it is not acceptable to diminish this wiki in favour of a fork. You are welcome to ''add'' to content to broaden its scope beyond being just canon, it's not acceptable to remove valid articles. If you don't want to maintain it, then you don't have to of course. But it is not right to remove canon content in order to (let's be frank here) prevent it competing with a fork.

Yes, I'm sorry, I should have copied that to your talk page (user talk pages have always had that limitation - threaded conversations ''or'' notifications. That really needs fixing).

Hi. I'm sorry, but it is not OK to use Wikia to advertise a competitive wiki. I've removed the link to Halopedian from the navigation again.
