Well I may possibly be the worst template programer ever, but I may be able to offer a possibility on how to fix it. Instead of using the : thing to move the stub template to the middle of the page, you may be able to use additional coding to set the template to center. If it stays at the top of the page, then theoretically the template should work again without any problems. Hope this helps. ~[[ | Well I may possibly be the worst template programer ever, but I may be able to offer a possibility on how to fix it.

Do you not think it worthwhile to mention some examples of how things in the Halo Universe may be based off of modern day models? This would give viewers something real to read about and possibly help them associate better with the Halo Universe and its many components. I understand that, for the most part, this is pure speculation. But if you look on many other pages, you see most people do not know for sure whether or not what they say is completely true. They put it out there as a theory, and that's part of the fun in editing these things. We get to put our own ideas out there (provided they are not ridiculous or implausible) for others to see and build off of. Removing all these edits seems like censorship on your part. | Do you not think it worthwhile to mention some examples of how things in the Halo Universe may be based off of modern day models?

I agree with you in that evidence should be cited, rather than just making a guess or putting it apples to apples. However, if you go to the [[LAU-65D/SGM-151]] page, you'll see that the last trivia excerpt is basically the same kind of speculation I've been making. No evidence is cited; the fact is there because the Missile Pod really does act like the Javelin, much the same as the Lancer would act as a Maverick. Future or not, an air launched, ground directed missile would still act in the same way as AGMs of modern day. As for the Pelican, its theory here, because if you study lifting body principles, as well as many other aerodynamical research studies, you will see that this is indeed a very real possibility for the Pelican. Perhaps all theories (lifting body and powerful propulsion) are correct. But they should still be mentioned, and the evidence exists on Wikipedia, on the lifting body page. I'd try and draw an image for you explaining how the air flow across the Pelican's fuselage works, but I'm not good at that kind of stuff. | I agree with you in that evidence should be cited, rather than just making a guess or putting it apples to apples.

For some reason this requested ''splitting'' of the Brute Jump Pack page has been bugging me! I suppose all of the other Brute ranks have separate pages: Standard Minor, Stnd Major, Stnd Ultra and Captain Minor, Cptn Major, Cptn Ultra. Therefore i think the Jump Pack ranks should have too. This would require new images to be made (a decent transparent background image of the red and gold jump packers) but pretty much the same content. I could do it all myself but i don't knew whether you have any formatting/universal layout rules that have to apply, or whether you find this splitting necessary. So what do you think?

On [[Talk:Ross-Ziegler Blip|this page]] , Plasma Physics and I have just wrapped up a discussion about whether the Ross-Ziegler Blip is really a canon contradiction or whether it is actually consistent with how the Halo Array works. The latter has been proven, but Plasma Physics feels the inconsistency should be left noted on the page because that's policy and that the Blip a mistake is the first assumption. I disagree, since it's been known since Halo 1 that the Array works by destroying bio-mass, thus it is not a mistake but he suggested I ask you.

Undoubtedly, this will take time and work, but I felt that our old system was cumbersome and obsolete. For example, the new standard is in line with our current capitalization policy and using the term "images" makes more sense than "screenshots" in the context of the ever-expanding Halo media. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 06:08, 3 February 2011 (EST) | ||

Hey Subtank, did I change the title in the Weapon Infobox page correctly? Vegerot wanted to change the title from "Manufacturer" to "Known manufacturers"...

:Correctly, yes. Whether you should, I don't think so. The reason being that the template was for general use and not specific; in other words, most weapon articles are of one manufacturer and not multiple. The infobox thus has to cater for the majority and offer an alternative for the minority. If a user feels the need that the title of a field be changed, all they have to do is add a new field with <code>"-title"</code> after the field name (i.e. manufacturer-title= Known manufacturers).— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 12:27, 21 February 2012 (EST) | :Correctly, yes.
