UserWiki:CIA391

About Me Version 1.1

This is my first version of my userwiki. I hope to make this more useful for users who wish to use this to their advantage so I can help them.

Howdy folks I am CIA391, but y'all can call me Chris.

I am a gamer who tries to keep on top of things. If you have any questions please PM me and I will try my best to answer. Or I will show you to someone who can help.

I am rather active here. And will always respond if talked too. You may reach me here, on Halo Waypoint, on Halo Archive, on Twitter, or through the Halopedia Discord.

I personally love a good chat. I hope we can all be friends. (^-^)/

Halopedia improvement project

Needs purged or cleansed

These are matarials that need tidied or purged in order to tidy up the wiki. For Phase 1 Step 1.

• Very useful tool: https://www.halopedia.org/Special:PrefixIndex

• Pre-2012 Profiles and additional materials: This needs to be done so the following two things are slightly easier to wipe.
• Go through all the pages in the Halopedia Namespace and wipe or keep them. https://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=&namespace=4
  • Halopedia:News: This needs to be re purposed. But articles need to be cleaned and archived.
  • Halopedia:The_Oracle_Newsletter: This needs to be purged. With the articles being fused with the archive of the news section.
  • https://www.halopedia.org/Category:User_Groups: This area needs to be purged.
  • https://www.halopedia.org/Category:Halopedia_Warz: Another purge item.
  • Wipe unused Templates and Categories from this purge.
• https://www.halopedia.org/Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links

Phase 1 Main Wiki stuff

View Phase 1 in its final form here.

Phase 2 Keeping us going

Step 5 Internal Community improvement

This step is getting the wiki community fun

• 1. Reset featured articles for a clean slate.
• 2. Add community events on the wiki.
  • 2.1. Monthly polls.(Example)
  • 2.2. Weekly featured articles/pictures/videos for users to vote for.(rotate them monthly so the homepage is more dynamic)
  • 2.3. Aprils fools day and other holiday celebrations.(we make a special Wiki skin for the holidays)
• 3. Make more dynamic news. More detailed and have a image to help.
• 4. Community Update on the Homepage.
• 5. Be welcoming to new members.

Step 6 External Community improvement

This step is to help build relations with other communities outside our internal wiki one.

• 1. Tidy and add to the Halopedia Community Portal using my other Community hubs as a example.
• 2. Use the Community portal to add community's to the Sidebar.
• 3. Start a Halopedia Twitter and Facebook and give admins access to them.
• 4. Add a bot to the Twitter and possibly Facebook so some automated posts are done to make life easier on the admins.
• 5. Add posts on Featured stuff from step 5.
• 6. Add Admin and Patroller made projects.

Step 7 Get more Patrollers and Rollbackers

This step is to help encourage members to become Rollbackers and Patrollers.

Phase 3 Keeping our work looking great

Step 8 Content

This step is generally what already happens, but is here so people have stuff to work on.

• 1. Use the Halopedia:Projects/Improvement to improve pages or add pages we need based on new media.
• 2. Use the Special:WantedPages to add pages we need.
• 3. Use the Special:AncientPages to updated old pages to suit newer standards.

Step 9 Keeping an eye on stuff

This step is kinda just the stuff that needs to be kept an eye on so they dont go out of hand in the future.

• 1. Keep an eye on the Special:SpecialPages to make sure they are kept in check.
• 2. Keep a possible way to get feedback on the Main Page and impliment the improvements we get or remove outdated stuff.
• 3. Update Old naming conventions to the new ones as done in Step 4.
• 4. Update old source conventions to the new ones as done in Step 4.
• 5. Keep updating the stuff we do in Step 5.
• 6. Keep the twitter and Facebook active with content.
• 7. Keep up with Step 7 unless we have plenty of them.
• 8. Keep up with 8 in general like we do already.

Project the Great Wiki Con

This is a potiential concept I will propose after Halopedia and Halo Nation make it to a state they are both Happy with their wikis.

The concept is holding a Booth or Panel at a Convention of some sort with both Halopedia and Halo Nation Members. The main reason this has to be a joint effort is that its unlikely Halopedia or Halo Nation alone can hold up a successful booth or panel on their own. So pairing up for such a project is required.

Potiential benefits include exposure for both sites. Friendship with Halo Nation and potiential future partnerships. And getting individuals out there who are good at talking to folk.
