===Edit Count===
Similar to the above problem, my received points and edit count seems to widely vary. I had just become a Gunnery Sergeant back on the OLD Halopedia, the move cut me back to Sergeant by about 200 points, but that's understandable because the 2 week gap. But yesterday, I had 14,500 points listed, now it lists me as Sergeant with only 7,500 points. I check and all my contributions are still there, but maybe the amount of points given per edit is being reduced, but even then I should still be JUST about at Gunnery Sergeant, not lower.

After the move, it appears that most of the audio files associated with ''i love bees'' are missing (as seen [[I Love Bees Axon Clips|here]]). It's really not that big a deal since they're available elsewhere (for the time being), but their absence does result in a lot of red links.
