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 Program

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 content for a clean slate.
  • 1.1. Choose what ones we already have and remove those that are outdated.
  • 1.2. Features articles ready to restart
• 2. Add community events on the wiki.
  • 2.1. (Example ideas) Monthly polls.
  • 2.2. (Example ideas) Weekly featured articles/pictures/videos for users to vote for.(rotate them monthly so the homepage is more dynamic)
  • 2.3. (Example ideas) Aprils fools day and other holiday celebrations.(we make a special Wiki skin for the holidays)
  • 2.4. (Example ideas) Start weekly discussions in the forums.
• 3. Make more dynamic news. More detailed.
  • 3.1. Start up news and build it up.
  • 3.2. HAVE FUN.
  • 3.3. Community Update on the Homepage.
• 4. 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 CIA391's other Community hubs as a example.
• 2. Use the Community portal to add community's to the Sidebar.
• 3. Get Twitter and Facebook more updated and up to scratch.
  • 3.1. Get more admins on the Twitter and Facebook.
  • 3.2. Add a bot to the Twitter and possibly Facebook so some automated posts are done to make life easier on the admins.
  • 3.3. Add posts on Featured stuff from step 5 on Twitter and Facebook.
  • 3.4. Add Admin and Patroller made projects on Twitter and Facebook.

Step 7 Get more Patrollers

This step is to help encourage members to become Patrollers.

• 1. Look through active users and see if any are suitable to be Patrollers.
• 2. If none are currently ready keep an eye out in the long run.

Phase 3 Keeping our work looking great

Once this project makes it to Phase 3 it will be discontinued and fused with the Article Improvement Drive project due to the similar nature of Phase 3 and that project itself. But is outlined so fusion will be easier in the long run.

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 and dont get out of control. If a special page get into a list in the 300's then we need to do a clean out of it.
• 2. Keep the feedback forum on the Main Page, and use it to improve the site as time goes on.
• 3. Update Old file naming conventions on pages to the new ones as done in Step 4.(Will link page when its ready)
• 4. Update Old source conventions on pages to the new ones as done in Step 4.(Will link page when its ready)
• 5. Keep updating the Community stuff we set up in step 5.(Will probably make a project page dedicated to keeping that set up)
• 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.
