Hey there. I posted this on CommanderTony's page also. I am currently an Administrator on the Dragon Ball Wiki and was wondering, how you have configured all of these additional features, the customisation on the user pages. Like the Gifts, Xbox Live Gamertag, Add as Friend, Points and Rank System, Awards, overall look of user pages, Board, Statistics, Quiz's etc etc. Also, what is large interactive box that appears on [http://halopedian.com/User:CommanderTony this] page? I would quite like to know about this. I'd really appreciate any information you can give me, if its not to much trouble. Many thanks. SSJ4 Lewich

I just had a quick question regarding the Spoilers Policy for Reach. Well, two actually:


1) When using the <nowiki>{{HideSpoiler}}</nowiki> template (after the game's release), should the template encompass the entire article (i.e. including infoboxes, etc.) or should it just encompass the text?
1) When using the <nowiki>{{HideSpoiler}}</nowiki> template (after the game's release), should the template encompass the entire article (i.e. including infoboxes, etc.) or should it just encompass the text?


2) Does it matter if the title in itself is a spoiler? For example, let's say I created an article called "The Battle of Installation 00" a day after the release of Halo 3. According to the Spoiler policy, the <nowiki>{{HideSpoilers}}</nowiki> template should solve any issues w/ someone who hasn't bought the game, but in this case, the title itself could ruin the game for them.

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)
 
== Re:Unused files==
I admittedly didn't think this problem would pop up. I instructed Datadeleter and several other users to mark those files for deletion so I could mop them up with Nicbot to make the job easier (its impossible to delete all those files with a human admin). As it is I never realised some files were used in templates or why they're showing up as unused when they're not, so I'll take the blame for that one. In the meantime I advise the editors to continue with care, while is there some way we list out all of the images that are actually in-use? -  [[User:Nicmavr|<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod; font-weight:bold; font-family:Arial">Nìcmávr</span>]] <sup><span style="color:DarkGoldenrod">(</span>[[User Talk:Nicmavr|<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod; font-weight:bold">Tálk</span>]]<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod">)</span></sup> 13:49, 19 December 2010 (EST)
 
:Could we make a template, say something similar to [[wikipedia:Template:Hang on|the "hang on" template]] on Wikipedia, so that it says "This image, while unused, is <good-quality/is already being used/should be used in an article>". Then, we could make a category similar to [[Special:Wantedpages]] that would show images that needed to be added into articles. The template could also be added onto the Era images, etc, so they don't get deleted.  '''<span style="font-family: Square721 BT; color: MidnightBlue; font-size: 7.5pt;"> <big>/ /</big> [[User:Stryker117|<span class="nounderlinelinks" style="color: MidnightBlue;">STRYKER</span>]]''' &nbsp; <span style="color: SteelBlue;">[ [[User talk:Stryker117|<span class="nounderlinelinks" style="color: SteelBlue;">COM</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Stryker117|<span class="nounderlinelinks" style="color: SteelBlue;">LOG/M</span>]] | [[Special:Editcount/Stryker117|<span class="nounderlinelinks" style="color: SteelBlue;">LOG/S</span>]] | [[User:Stryker117/Adopt-a-User|<span class="nounderlinelinks" style="color: SteelBlue;">AAU/HUM</span>]] ]</span></span> 14:29, 19 December 2010 (EST)
 
==Viery==
While I understand what you were doing on the [[Battle of Viery]] article, I would like to bring a similar event to your attention.
 
During the [[Battle of Hat Yai]], Covenant ships exited Slipspace once their assistance was required.
 
Based on this, we can assume that these ships were at the very least nearby when the battle commenced, which may suggest that the Covenant may keep some ships within slipspace to avoid advertising their true size.
 
It is also interesting to note that during the [[Battle of Onyx]], the Covenant reinforcements arrive just before the UNSC defeats them.
 
Similarly, the Covenant supercarrier ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'' during the [[Fall of Reach]] only made itself known once the UNSC began to cut into the Covenant outposts. Again in that battle, it was not until the supercarrier was destroyed and its accompanying corvette sent into slipstream space that the fleet made itself known. In the corvette's control room, you can see symbols over the planet Reach - I believe these to represent the co-ordinates that each ship is preparing to jump to.
 
Would this be considered a common-enough Covenant action to be considered a genuine military strategy of theirs?-- [[User talk:Forerunner|Forerunner]] 09:27, 20 December 2010 (EST)
 
:Furthermore, I'd like to take note that the commanding officer does not need to be actually present to coordinate the battle. Field Marshall Sir Douglas Haig was miles away from the front of the Great War when conducting battle plans, for instance. Being the commanding officer of the Fleet of Particular Justice, it becomes clear that Thel would have authority over their actions. Furthermore, being a "supreme commander", he would have authority over both naval and armed forces during the campaign.-- [[User talk:Forerunner|Forerunner]] 09:38, 20 December 2010 (EST)

== SPARTAN teams ==
 
During field operations, the SPARTAN-IIs available separate into teams with the designations of "red" and "blue". However, the roster is ''not'' organised, and neither is the size. Basically, a team consists of SPARTANs who aren't already chosen arbitrarily to be deployed with another team. While "Red" was on Arcadia, "Blue" was elsewhere - the names only appear to be in use to differentiate SPARTANs by mission. Therefore, should we really refer to Red and Blue teams as though they had a concistent existence, or as a number of units inheriting the same designation? Any team could be set up and called "Red".-- [[User talk:Forerunner|Forerunner]] 10:29, 27 December 2010 (EST)

== Colonies ==
 
Thanks for expressing your views. From what I've gathered from the novels and encyclopædia, all (or most) colonies are independent, though the UE appears to have a lot of influence over them. I believe the UNSC to be under UN juristiction as opposed to solely Earth's, with the "United Earth Space Corps" that Johnson joined being the site of Earth-based units.I chose "human" over "UNSC colonies" because of this along with other reasons like the ancient civilisation and insurrectionist colonies like Eridanus Secundus.-- [[User talk:Forerunner|Forerunner]] 09:34, 19 January 2011 (EST)
 
:I personally doubt that the UNSC would surrender control after the war - they'd have to take part in the rebuilding, and urban warzones would need to be under martial law to prevent robbery. Eventually, they should of course surrender control back to the governments, as the threat of insurrectionist activity only intensified upon UNSC interference; that fear returned in the post-war period.-- [[User talk:Forerunner|Forerunner]] 10:16, 19 January 2011 (EST)
 
== Amended format for citation ==
 
Forgive my inability to detect this issue. I noticed that the citation format has been rather ''odd'' because of the 2010 edition.
;Old citation format for double version:
:<code><nowiki>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 54'', ''page 71-72 2010 edition''</nowiki></code>
 
;New citation format:
:<code><nowiki>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 54''; '''(2010)''', ''page 71-72''</nowiki></code>

== Two covenant ship articles need to be merged ==
 
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. Subsequently, I'm not completely sure if I need administrative permission to merge two articles. {{Unsigned|Pulsar47}}
 
: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)

== Spartan IVs augmentations ==
 
Within all of the current Halo lore we have available to us it appears pretty obvious that any and all SPARTANS within GEN2 gear are fairly similar in their physical capabilities; therefore, the existing assumptions within the page suggesting otherwise should be clarified to represent speculations verses facts. Furthermore and most importantly, lore points to the genetics, robustness, and fortitude of a particular Spartan candidate making up most of their differences, but it also acknowledges that the time they've had to acclimate themselves to their augmented body, the type of training they've had, and any real world experiences go a long way toward unmasking their full potential too. What is also known is that the advancements in augmentation with regards to the SPARTAN-IV program have not only allowed for the past strict guidelines to be done away with allowing less than ideal candidates to receive custom-tailored enhancements meant to bring them to the closest margin possible of the previous Spartan programs' physical and mental results. This knowledge also signifies that were a SPARTAN-IV candidate to possess the genetics, robustness, and fortitude to have been a candidate for the predecessor programs that they could potentially be just as impressive as a SPARTAN-II or III out of Armor once fully acclimated to their augmentations and well trained; hell, even the additional experimental augmentations that were tried during the prototype phase of the program speaks volumes of the maximum potential of these newer augmentations despite the terrible failure rate which ended their inclusion. Anyways, my point is that the SPARTAN-IV augmentation page is full of incorrect assumptions suggesting that '''all''' SPARTAN-IVs are inferior to those from the predecessor programs. {{Unsigned|67.52.246.42}}
 
:Canonical sources DO make it clear that the Spartan-IVs do not reach performance levels as high as Spartan-II, for a number of reasons. The age factor is still critical. Some augmentations are at their optimum when performed at puberty, as was done with the IIs and IIIs. Modern medical technology makes it AVAILABLE to adults, in a slightly less optimal form. Even those who match the genetic criteria for the IIs would be hard pressed to take to the augmentations as well. MJOLNIR GEN2 is designed to outperform GEN1 specifically ''because'' the IVs need it to, to compensate for their physical limitations. Hypothetically, a IV in armour is the physical match of a II. Out of armour is a different story.
 
:Sources also make it clear that the IVs have advantages - because they had a normal life before volunteering, they can better relate to non-Spartans than their predecessors could. They're more psychologically well-adjusted, too, and don't come with the same mess of personal problems that, say, the IIIs came with. With, in my opinion, the exception of Sarah "Halsey was so mean to me wah wah" Palmer, who shows an utterly bemusing personal vendetta. They're not perfect, but that imperfection is also an advantage. And lastly, as Buck puts it, the IVs are meant to be demi-gods to the IIs Titans, but damned if that isn't often enough. They also exist in FAR more plentiful numbers than ANY previous Spartan program did at one time.
 
:We're not painting the Spartans as inferior knockoffs because we don't like them. We're showing that they're different to their predecessors in important ways, all of which are based on canonical sources.

::@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)

Hey, I noticed you were looking for a source regarding the variety of Elites present in Halo 5. I found a few of Grim's statements on the matter.

== Installation 07 image on Fractures ==
 
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)

== Project Chrysanthemum ==
 
[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)
 
:I just think the source material leaves too much to interpretation to make a definitive statement, especially when no source expressly states they were picked solely due to their genetics (though that was likely a contributing factor in many cases).
 
:My main point is that why would you set someone apart on the basis of their ''theoretical predisposition'' for an ability, rather than that ''ability itself''? Kurt and Mendez had the opportunity to study both of those things, so it hardly makes sense they'd discard one of them entirely. It would be much more advantageous to look at the whole picture of the candidate rather than just one aspect of them.
 
:I'm not dismissing genetics as a contributing factor here; I'm merely saying it doesn't really make any sense to have been the only selection criterion in that scenario, especially when you're picking people based on abstract traits like leadership, sharpshooting, reconnaissance, etc - how do you even begin to measure those from genes alone? In many cases a natural inclination and practical skill will likely correlate, but the thing about genetics is that they don't always express themselves in clear-cut ways and there are other, random factors which may influence the outcome. (This is obviously different from the program's selection criteria as a whole, which were about augmentation survival rates, thus making genetics of paramount importance in that case.)
 
:In addition, most of the source material is written in a way that suggests the "cat-2s" were chosen after their training, which suggests observation of their skills in practice; if the selection was solely genetic, each Spartan's fate could've been decided before they first stepped on Onyx. For instance, Jun's profile: ''"Following graduation at the age of 12, he became one of Alpha Company’s best Spartan-III assets, where his skill as a sniper soon had him leading a headhunter team conducting missions directly for ONI."'' He wasn't picked because his genes had destined him for greatness, he was picked because he had demonstrably become one of Alpha Company's best Spartans and was a skilled sniper.
 
:I do frequent the Halo Archive at least and have posted on Reddit a few times (where I think I actually discussed this very topic with you once). --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 00:29, 6 April 2017 (EDT)
 
The thing about this is that it wouldn't be theoretical. Ghosts of Onyx makes it clear that Kurt has access to all of their genetic records when the narrator makes the comment of "''less-statistically robust''". Even though it may not have automatically set some apart, it's not outlandish to think that some genetic profiles were bookmarked to keep special watch on. Though, i can agree with the fact that they probably bookmarked genetic profiles and waited to see how the candidates would develop.
 
Hmm... I don't have a recollection of that. Do you use the same username as your halopedia account?[[User:Kal825B|Kal825B]] ([[User talk:Kal825B|talk]]) 22:31, 6 April 2017 (EDT)
 
:That's what I was saying. Even though they had access to the candidates' genetic records from the start, most of the sources that describe their selection (such as Jun's bio quoted above) are written in a way that gives the implication they were set apart from their companies only after their training. These things don't have to be mutually exclusive; most likely the final decision was up to a combination of inborn potential (which Kurt and co. would have known from the onset) and skill as observed in practice (which could only be ascertained after training). This leaves more wiggle room for other factors which realistically affect a person's development, and as I said, I don't see how one can divine skills like sniping, leadership, etc. from genes alone.

==Wiki splits==
 
Hi Jugus,
 
Wondering if you can help me out.  I'm Agent C from Nukapedia, the Fallout wiki that is still on Wikia.  I don't know if you've [https://kotaku.com/fallout-fans-resist-wikias-attempt-to-pivot-to-video-1804145954 heard about our little problem with wikia], and we're looking at all available options.  I was wondering if someone from when your wiki split/move/fork/(whatever the preferred term is) was around to talk to us about the technical aspects of it, as we are considering all available options.  I see your wiki's using Discord, and we've found it useful for the process, you can reach me (and the guys who are looking into this option) [https://discord.gg/MYgS75y here on ours].  Thanks for any help you and your guys can offer.  [[User:Agent c|Agent c]] ([[User talk:Agent c|talk]]) 17:08, 12 September 2017 (EDT)

== Potential re-evaluation of UNSC Navy Uniform subcategories ==
 
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.
 
Might I trouble you to take a look?
