Halopedia:Projects/Improvement

File:I WANT YOU.PNG

Article Improvement Drive is a community project to improve the wiki's content through bringing articles in dire need of improvement—from cleanup to content expansion and updates—to everyone's attention. The list is refreshed periodically with new articles requiring improvement, but previous entries will be kept on the list until those articles have been brought fully up to date. An article is considered sufficiently repaired when it is properly sourced, accurate, comprehensive and well formatted—in short, up to our general standards of quality.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the improvement effort or suggest new articles to the list on the project's talk page. There is also a relevant forum discussion on the Halo Archive.

Ashes: page needs to be expanded with relevant information Badlands: page needs to be created and filled out Bedrock: page needs to be created and filled out Fracture: page needs to be created and filled out Frontier: page needs to be created and filled out Highway: page needs to be updated with relevant information Proving Grounds: page needs to be updated with relevant information Rift: page needs to be created and filled out Sentry: page needs to be created and filled out James Cutter: needs to be updated with information from the Halo Wars 2 campaign as well as the Phoenix Logs Ellen Anders: needs to be updated with information from the Halo Wars 2 campaign as well as the Phoenix Logs Isabel: needs to be updated with information from the Halo Wars 2 campaign as well as the Phoenix Logs Banished: needs to be updated with information from the Halo Wars 2 campaign Installation 00: needs to be updated with information on features and locations from the Phoenix Logs The following pages need to be updated with new information from Halo: Envoy: Halo: Envoy (plot synopsis, etc.) Melody Azikiwe Rojka 'Kasaan Thars 'Sarov Gray Team Jai-006 Adriana-111 Mike-120 Ellis Gass Hekabe Lamar Edwards Carrow Battle of Carrow Vertex The following pages need to be updated with new information from Halo: Fractures: Into the Fire: a plot synopsis needs to be added Prauss needs to be created and filled out with all relevant information from Anarosa Created conflict needs to be updated with all relevant information from Rossbach's World What Remains: a plot synopsis needs to be added Evelyn Collins Meridian Station Breaking Strain: a plot synopsis needs to be added Robertson Promises to Keep: a plot synopsis needs to be added Chant-to-Green Reintroduction

Articles to the updated with information from Halo: Shadow of Intent include the following: Shadow of Intent Prelate Boru'a'Neem Attack on Rahnelo Ambush at Duraan Oasis: a plot synopsis needs to be added Dahlia Jat Sandholm The following pages need to be updated with new information from Halo: Last Light: Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE Murtag Nelson Gao Gao Ministry of Protection 2553 The following pages need to be updated with new information from Halo: Smoke and Shadow: Halo: Smoke and Shadow: a plot synopsis needs to be added Rion Forge Lessa Niko Kip Silas Gek 'Lhar Ace of Spades Other articles needing attention: Domain needs to be updated in light of info from Dominion Splinter. Drifts Randomly needs to be expanded with information from Halo: Hunters in the Dark. Battle of Meridian (2558) needs to be expanded with information from Halo 5: Guardians. Glassing needs to be updated to include information on "deglassing" and other post-war activities on glassed worlds from Halo 5: Guardians and Hunt the Truth. Planetary warfare still needs considerable work, especially with referencing, which, considering it is a subject which spans the entirety of Halo media, is going to take a lot of work. Halo 2: the development section is severely lacking in its description of the game's development process, particularly the difficulties therein (a good overview of which can be found, for example, in this article)

Multi-article projects

1. Template:Walkthrough Infobox needs to be added to walkthrough articles lacking it.
2. Comic scans with blanked speech bubbles should be updated with the text intact as per this forum.
3. The list of Forge objects needs to be updated to include all Halo 4-related material, including creation of subpages for each individual category.
4. Many Halo 4 multiplayer map articles need to be expanded with information on map layout, features and gameplay strategies. See Avalanche for reference of a comprehensive map article.
5. Game level transcripts need to be formatted in accordance with the the Layout Guide; for most articles, this means the standardization of the way characters and other subjects are referenced (e.g. omitting superfluous or overly long titles/ranks), as well as the addition of music tracks playing at a given time.
6. Quote pages need to be updated according to the Layout Guide. For example, insignificant lines which are not quotable in any fashion should be removed. In addition, quotes which are part of a dialog between the subject and another character should feature a transcript of the lines of both characters as opposed to only those spoken by the title character. For an example of this in practice, see Forthencho/Quotes.
7. The new notice templates Template:Fanart and Template:Fanwork need to be added to the relevant images. See the more specific usage notes on each template's page.
