Yeah, I think it's time to clarify that not all ships in the Halo Universe are starships. Thus, I think this is the time to fix this error that was created back in 2007. The next plan would be to implement [[Template:Ship class infobox]] into Class-specific vessels (i.e. ''Ket''-pattern battlecruiser, UNSC frigate). This does not include individual ships (i.e. UNSC Forward Unto Dawn). This is simply to eliminate redundancy due to overuse of similar field and information. Just bear with me on this one. :P - <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> 16:32, 23 November 2010 (EST)

:Yeah, thanks for clearing that up. I was just confused since we already had a category for ships and because I thought the distinction between ocean-borne or exoatmospheric vessels would warrant them two distinct categories - although having them all in one category makes sense considering the tiny number of conventional ships in the Halo universe.

Hey, I see what you mean, that [[Plasma turrets]] fire plasma torpedoes, but if you go on the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} page it mentions the armaments of having 'plasma torpedo launchers'. This is actually an error - you are right - plasma turrets are capable of firing other things. Therefore I think page that makes reference to a specific 'plasma torpedo launcher' should be edited to plasma turrets. Agreed? [[User talk:AlexB1001|AlexB1001]] 11:44, 7 December 2010 (EST)

I didn't really wanna post this on a specific page, as it is on multiple pages. When I was looking up [[Jun]], I noticed that his infobox looked weird. Specifically, the Height and Weight sections don't seem to wrap quite right. It is the same on other Spartan pages as well, but only those with those two fields. These use the Convert template, but I can't see a specific problem in the scripting, but it is basically a huge wall of text. I wouldn't be completely surprised if it turns out to be a problem on my end, but I'm not sure yet. <br>

The Covenant Super-Destroyer and Battleship are possibly same class. I've been researching this and believe that the illustrator for Halo Wars: Genesis used this line from Halo: First Strike as inspiration: "vessels with five bulbous sections that were nearly two kilometers stem to stem and had a dozen deadly energy projectors." In Genesis, the super-destroyer is depicted as having five bulbous sections and multiple energy projectors. This connection is further reinforced by Halo: Evolutions which came out after both the previously mentioned entries. It states that the vessel has a length of two kilometers and possesses multiple energy projectors. As you can see, the shape, size and armament of this class have all been described in at least two pieces of fiction. Since you are knowledgeable in these regards I hope that you will come to the same conclusion. I've been reading this wiki for years but only started editing it recently.

:We've considered this in the past (in fact we previously had the Harvest ship under the Covenant battleship page) but because of the lack of sufficient proof stating they're indeed the same—as well as the different designation given for the Harvest ship in ''Evolutions''—we treat the two ships as different. It's a real possibility that they're different names for the same class, but because the Covenant are known to have multiple ship types that look similar and have similar armaments it's better to be on the safe side and consider them separate unless proven otherwise. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue">'''Jugus'''</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:14, 6 May 2015 (EDT)

::@Morhek: well said, you covered pretty much what I was going to say anyway. To add to the above, there's very little justification for adding the hypothetical Spartan-IVs who could reach S-II levels of prowess outside armor to the page because that's exactly what they are - hypothetical. To date, there are two statements (that I know of) from Frank O'Connor stating that a SPARTAN-IV is only equal to an S-II in armor while the latter would ''destroy'' the former outside of it. This was especially clear in Frankie's more recent NeoGaf post (which should, by the way, be added to the sources on the S-IV augmentation page). Other than that, your edit to the page contained quite a bit of speculation and information that is at best up to interpretation, as well as extraneous material that is already covered on other pages, which is the reason I trimmed some of it down. I did change some of the wordings on the page to make it more vague, however. But there's no reason to dispute the II/IV comparison when it comes straight from the horse's mouth and there's nothing to contradict it in other sources. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue">'''Jugus'''</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 09:00, 26 July 2015 (EDT)
::@Morhek: well said, you covered pretty much what I was going to say anyway. To add to the above, there's very little justification for adding the hypothetical Spartan-IVs who could reach S-II levels of prowess outside armor to the page because that's exactly what they are - hypothetical. To date, there are two statements (that I know of) from Frank O'Connor stating that a SPARTAN-IV is only equal to an S-II in armor while the latter would ''destroy'' the former outside of it. This was especially clear in Frankie's more recent NeoGaf post (which should, by the way, be added to the sources on the S-IV augmentation page).

Hi Jugus. A guy added an image (the cover of [[Fractures]]) that is almost certainly [[Installation 07]] but it's completely different than what we have seen so far. Installation 07 is depicted as an orange desert in previous games but in that image it looks more like Installation 04. Should it be added on the main infobox page since it's newer or not? [[Talk:Installation 07#Fractures Cover|Here]] is the discussion. <font size="3">[[User:Lautrec|<font color="Teal">Lautrec</font>]][[User talk:Lautrec|<font color="Teal"> of Carim</font>]]</font> <sup><font size="2">[[Special:Contributions/Lautrec|<font color="Teal">|contribs|</font>]]</font></sup> 07:51, 21 September 2016 (EDT)

:You probably noticed it already, but that's actually how Installation 07 looked at one time (and how it looks now, according to ''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]''). The hologram in ''Halo 3'' has been established to have been out of date. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 10:31, 21 September 2016 (EDT)

[https://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Project_CHRYSANTHEMUM&type=revision&diff=1211395&oldid=1211270 Regarding this edit]. I can understand wanting to leave it vague, but i'm more curious as to why you don't think it implies genetic predisposition. Emile's, Jun's, and Kat's articles all use a word that refers to the natural ability of the individual. Whether it be "aptitude", "talents", or "potential" respectively. These words all imply natural inclination to skills. So, it makes sense that these would all be references to predispositions if they are a natural occurrence in the individual in question. Though none of the articles go into detail, they do make an effort to acknowledge the genetic ability of the character. However, in your defense, the only one who doesn't directly state that their skill was from natural ability was Carter's.

On a side note, do you visit any other Halo sites beside this one? I've always wondered but never had an excuse to ask.[[User:Kal825B|Kal825B]] ([[User talk:Kal825B|talk]]) 20:13, 5 April 2017 (EDT)

Ever since the release of Halo 2: Anniversary, I've had a sneaking suspicion that some of the navy uniforms may have been misidentified - a working uniform listed as a service uniform, for example.

I made a post about it over on the [https://www.halopedia.org/Talk:UNSC_Navy_uniforms#UNSC_Uniform_-_Halo_2%3A_Anniversary|UNSC Navy Uniform talk page] where I go into detail. However, as I am a novice Wiki contributor and the potential revision is quite large, I thought it best to seek out a more experienced contributor and consult a moderator before making any changes.
