New pages

Hi, when making new pages please remember to follow our Layout guide, for consistent page formatting. In general, making a page consisting of one sentence with no accompanying templates is not a particularly useful page. It would be helpful if you tried to at least put in the basic necessities for layout.

Additionally, I would recommend avoiding adding Trivia entries where possible. Speculative content or info such as "X is/ isn't like Y" is very rarely considered notable for inclusion on Halopedia, and should be avoided where possible. Thanks. BaconShelf (talk) 02:44, July 28, 2021 (EDT)

New pages - again

Hi, please take some time to read my prior message about creating new pages. New pages created only to have a stub notice, without any proper layout styling can be less useful than simply not having a page. If you would like help in creating such pages, feel free to contact any of the staff here or on our Discord server. Otherwise, please refrain from making more pages like this - otherwise it will result in a temporary ban.BaconShelf (talk) 07:24, August 1, 2021 (EDT)

Disambiguating Page Names

Please keep in mind that certain pages that share names with other pages but lacks a bracketed addendum (e.g. Finish the Fight) are named as such because they were assumed to be the best guess for a user searching the name. There's no need to move the page because it was intentionally given that namespace, without a bracketed addendum, since it's considered more notable than other pages with the same name. See here for our policy on disambiguating page titles. Thanks! Jack Vibe 05:54, August 4, 2021 (EDT)
