== | == Image categories == | ||
Just to inform you, I've started rearranging some of the image categories into a more coherent and specific system, largely based on [[W:c:Starwars:Category:Images|that of the Star Wars wiki]]. Undoubtedly, this will take time and work, but I felt that our old system was cumbersome and obsolete. For example, the new standard is in line with our current capitalization policy and using the term "images" makes more sense than "screenshots" in the context of the ever-expanding Halo media. --[[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> 06:08, 3 February 2011 (EST) | |||

== Thanks! == | |||
Wanted to thank you for creating that handy template for the Firefight sub-types. Realized yesterday that only Rocketfight and Sniperfight had their own pages, so I set them up for the rest. That box will make navigating between them much easier than the sub-category page I threw together. [[User talk:Captain J|Captain J]] 18:27, 1 April 2011 (EDT) | |||

:Halopedian is glitching for me all of a sudden. First, it took an incredible amount of time to load up when i first opened it, then it gave me some kind of error message and a partial page. I tried again and it let me in, but it cut the whole top third of the screen off, preventing me from seeing the top banner and accessing the edit button. The only reason I'm able to edit now is because I've had to work around it by manually typing in the "edit" url. I have no idea why this is suddenly happening, as it's nothing like I've ever seen before, and this is a new computer, but it's doing that. On any other wiki I visit, however, it's normal, so I expect its a specific glitch. I don't know if anyone else has this, as obviously they can't edit unless they know to type in the URL. Is this a glitch on the wiki, or is there something on my computer I need checked?

Can you add those theories back?

: | :No. The first one regarding the spikes is incorrect; whoever added that in got fooled by the angle of the picture. The second and third trivia have been mentioned in the article. Fourth is irrelevant as it is just gameplay design. The one about Praetorians is irrelevant speculation.

It's not irrelevant speculation. It was comparing how they are similar and how Hunters might have been based off them.

Considering your work with stands, I felt that you would be best at this (Ok, 343, but I haven't seen him lately). To what extend should we count something as appearing if it is only mentioned in random combat dialogue. Does Yayap appear in the Halo 3 storyline? Do Sam and Jogn appear in Hali Wars? Further, does supplementary material count as an appearance - the HW timeline and HR journal?-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 20:20, 29 May 2011 (EDT) | |||
: | :Hali Wars? Never heard of it. Joke aside, if the subject is of some importance '''and''' relevance to the product, then list it. Here, everything in the Halo Universe can be of great importance to some extent, i.e. John. But to satisfy the relevancy, I guess it would not meet the mark. It is as simple as that. | ||
:This is basically a repeat but necessary as clarification. The ones regarding Halo 3 and Halo Wars are quite of some importance, but it is not as relevant as to the whole product; the mentioning of Yayap, Sam and John aren't that relevant to Halo 3 and Halo Wars, respectively, as whole, but they do hold some importance to an extent. As such, they should be excluded for failing to meet the relevance mark. It is, however, different when placing a product as an appearance for a subject, i.e. placing Halo Wars as an appearance in John's article; a simple mention is sufficient. The main reason for these distinct applications is simple; when readers read an article about a product, i.e. HW timeline or Halo Wars, they expect to just see those that is relevant to the game; listing those mentioned once or twice would be redundant. This is different when reading an article about a subject, i.e. characters or weapons. | |||
:Supplementary material, being supplementary to a product, should not be listed as an appearance; instead, they should be listed under the "See also" section. — <span style="font-size:120%; font-family:Palatino Linotype; font-style:italic;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 07:49, 30 May 2011 (EDT) | |||

== Problems with Convert template == | |||
A user recently messaged me about a problem with [[:Template:Convert]] and I was wondering if you knew something about it. I'm not sure if it's specific to certain users, but the whole template seems more or less messed up in infoboxes. For a particularly noticeable example, see [[Jun-A266]]. I'm not sure how it could cause this, but could it be linked to the fact I recently categorized some of the sub-templates of the Convert template?

I'm not sure if it appeared after you updated it a few days ago, but I recently noticed that any long enough text put into the template tends to continue over the gray area's edge and occasionally disappear a couple of lines after that. This should be evident in most of the transcript sections on the [[Terminal/Halo 3]] page. --[[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> 12:24, 20 November 2011 (EST) | |||

Could you please look at '''www.helljumper.com'''. Seems as though they are making a video series based on ''Dirt'' from ''Halo: Evolutions''.

== Data Drop/Transmissions == | |||
Hello there, | |||
Nicmavr suggested that I message you after speaking to him over the IRC about the Data Drop work that you did. Which I have to say is pretty cool, innovative stuff. :) | |||
Basically, what I'm trying to do is immitate your [template?] in a similarly styled set of articles on the HaloFanon wikia. I'm having just a tiny little bit of difficulty getting it working though. And would greatly appreciate your assistance! :D | |||
This is the main article: http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Transmissions | |||
I guess whatever I'm doing, I must be doing it wrong because the tabs aren't working. Also, I can't seem to make the font become black, which makes reading the transmission a tad difficult. :\ | |||
If you could take a look at it for me, that would be really sweet! Thank you, and have a Happy New Year! -[[User:TheLostJedi|'''<span style="color:maroon">TheLostJedi</span>''']] 10:48, 2 January 2012 (EST) | |||

File: | :Correctly, yes. Whether you should, I don't think so. The reason being that the template was for general use and not specific; in other words, most weapon articles are of one manufacturer and not multiple. The infobox thus has to cater for the majority and offer an alternative for the minority. If a user feels the need that the title of a field be changed, all they have to do is add a new field with <code>"-title"</code> after the field name (i.e. manufacturer-title= Known manufacturers).— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 12:27, 21 February 2012 (EST) | ||

:I would adopt what Jugus has said in [[Talk:SPARTAN-II_Program#All S-IIs should have Fall of Reach appearances|this talkpage]]. A permanent solution to this is to create a guide on using the wiki (something that is on my To-Do list, right after creating a FAQ in Halopedia using Dead Space Wiki as a primary reference since it has worked quite well there), of which would include what the wiki means by "indirect mention".— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 14:31, 2 April 2012 (EDT) | |||
Ah, well [[Template:Appearances]] had said to refer to you for questions, so I assumed that meant you were in charge of it. But it's true, the layout guide does need a bunch of new information to be added, such as [[Talk:Cortana#Main image|infobox images being portraits rather than full body images]], [[File talk:H2-UNSCFrigateInAmberClad.png|images of specific ships having backgrounds while ship classes have transparent ones]], and [[Talk:Activation Index#Main Image|and being like a document by ONI and using the images most recent in the timeline.]] I'll speak to the admins on this then, see if we can add these updates.

== Removing very high-res screenshots == | |||
Hey Subtank, is there really a need to remove very high-res screenshots? There are HUD details (the suit BIOS, for example) that can't be discerned at lower resolutions. Users can choose to open lower-res versions of the image anyway if they don't have the bandwidth to load the full picture, so I don't think reverting to 1920px is necessary. -[[User talk:Kronos101|Kronos101]] 16:54, 2 May 2012 (EDT) | |||
:That last sentence is the issue: by clicking the link to the image, the page will load up the image's original size. This is set by default bys the wiki. This can, however, be prevented if the user ha set a size limit in their preferences... but the likelihood of anyone actually setting a size limit is very very little. Of course, if we can change the settings to view it only at 1920px as the default size, then this wouldn't be an issue... pester Steve/Porplemontage about it perhaps? :P — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 16:59, 2 May 2012 (EDT) | |||
