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.

So Mator and I have been working on the Halo Stunting Wiki, and we've become aware of the fact that not all things can be verified with traditional sources (or even the semi-traditional ones, like YouTube videos). In particular, the history of stunts and the stunting community isn't citeable, as it wasn't recorded at the time or by a large number of sources -- it's not common knowledge... Only way to find sources would be to make them, and that wouldn't exactly be credible... ("Oh, he made that source just so he could cite it! ''That''<nowiki/>'s reliable!") | So Mator and I have been working on the Halo Stunting Wiki, and we've become aware of the fact that not all things can be verified with traditional sources (or even the semi-traditional ones, like YouTube videos).

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.

They put it out there as a theory, and that's part of the fun in editing these things.

Mood swings are illogical. They only make things worse. If everything is similar to the real world, I do not know why these similarities should not be mentioned, at least in the trivia. This site, in my opinion, is a collection of known facts about the Halo Universe but is also home to a wide variety of speculation and theorizing. I'm attempting to build a connection to something from the real world so that people could go read the external links and read for themselves what it's all about. In this case, they could go learn about the Maverick, which may lead them to read about other components of aerial warfare. I understand that is not the purpose of this site, but it does provide education to those who seem to have little (hence the poor grammar in some editing). | Mood swings are illogical.

I understand that is not the purpose of this site, but it does provide education to those who seem to have little (hence the poor grammar in some editing). | ||

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.

Fortunately, I know two physics majors, in addition to an aerospace engineer. I'll get an explanation from one or all of them, and do my best to supply you with a picture. Note, it would be a side-view demonstrating the difference in pressures created when air passes over the fuselage. Simplistic, yes, but that's how a lifting body works. | Fortunately, I know two physics majors, in addition to an aerospace engineer.

Yes this Wiki isn’t a social site. But a debate on whether or not the accent is notable is exactly why the talk page is there. So we can decide what relevance the information has, and lay out arguments for/against inclusion. And we do have precedence, for example it is considered notable that Byrne is the only Irish character seen thus far in Halo. Further I would consider it notable to mention if a character had a Chinese accent. It’s an integral part of their character, or at least it influences the way they are interpreted, a filter through which the user percieves them. --[[User talk:Sandor051|Sandor051]] 12:58, December 16, 2009 (UTC) | Yes this Wiki isn’t a social site.

Why did you remove that trivia from the Recon armor page? I'm not saying I necessarily agree with it, but I'd like to know why, since you don't provide edit summaries.

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.

==Convert Templates== | ==Convert Templates== | ||
I heard somewhere that even though this site is worldwide, it is to use convnetional spelling such as 'center' instead of 'centre', and the 'u' found in some words such as 'honor' was to be omitted. If I recall correctly, you were discussing it with another user on a talk page and stated that even though the user was 'right' for adding the British version of the word (I suppose that is the technically correct dictionary here), the American version was to be used. I could be wrong, but I know for sure someone high up here was saying that. Point is the convert template says 'metres', and to me, that makes me want to pronounce it 'mee-trees' instead of 'mee-turs'. I have no idea why, but it's the first thing that pops in my mind. I kept reverting the template to fix that. | I heard somewhere that even though this site is worldwide, it is to use convnetional spelling such as 'center' instead of 'centre', and the 'u' found in some words such as 'honor' was to be omitted.

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.

==Email problem== | ==Email problem== | ||
...Subtank...I'm not getting ANY emails whatsoever from Halopedia. No digests, no changes to my followed pages, nothing. I verified my preferences settings, and they all allow for emails to be sent to my email (which is correct), and I am still following pages, and I even looked at one of the pages I follow to see if, for some odd reason, no one made changes to all of the 300+ pages I follow. There have been many changes. What's wrong? I've had this problem for several weeks, but I've been really busy, so I never got around to posting my inquiry here. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. | ...Subtank...I'm not getting ANY emails whatsoever from Halopedia. No digests, no changes to my followed pages, nothing.

== Image categories == | |||
Just to inform you, I've started rearranging some of the image categories into a more coherent and specific system, largely based on [[wikia:Starwars:CategoryFiles|that of the Star Wars wiki]]. 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) | |||

:Halopedian is glitching for me all of a sudden. First, it took an incredible amount of time to load up when i first opened it, then it gave me some kind of error message and a partial page. I tried again and it let me in, but it cut the whole top third of the screen off, preventing me from seeing the top banner and accessing the edit button. The only reason I'm able to edit now is because I've had to work around it by manually typing in the "edit" url. I have no idea why this is suddenly happening, as it's nothing like I've ever seen before, and this is a new computer, but it's doing that. On any other wiki I visit, however, it's normal, so I expect its a specific glitch. I don't know if anyone else has this, as obviously they can't edit unless they know to type in the URL. Is this a glitch on the wiki, or is there something on my computer I need checked?

It's not irrelevant speculation. It was comparing how they are similar and how Hunters might have been based off them.

Considering your work with stands, I felt that you would be best at this (Ok, 343, but I haven't seen him lately). To what extend should we count something as appearing if it is only mentioned in random combat dialogue. Does Yayap appear in the Halo 3 storyline? Do Sam and Jogn appear in Hali Wars? Further, does supplementary material count as an appearance - the HW timeline and HR journal?-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 20:20, 29 May 2011 (EDT) | |||
:Hali Wars? Never heard of it. Joke aside, if the subject is of some importance '''and''' relevance to the product, then list it. Here, everything in the Halo Universe can be of great importance to some extent, i.e. John. But to satisfy the relevancy, I guess it would not meet the mark. It is as simple as that. | |||
:This is basically a repeat but necessary as clarification. The ones regarding Halo 3 and Halo Wars are quite of some importance, but it is not as relevant as to the whole product; the mentioning of Yayap, Sam and John aren't that relevant to Halo 3 and Halo Wars, respectively, as whole, but they do hold some importance to an extent. As such, they should be excluded for failing to meet the relevance mark. It is, however, different when placing a product as an appearance for a subject, i.e. placing Halo Wars as an appearance in John's article; a simple mention is sufficient. The main reason for these distinct applications is simple; when readers read an article about a product, i.e. HW timeline or Halo Wars, they expect to just see those that is relevant to the game; listing those mentioned once or twice would be redundant. This is different when reading an article about a subject, i.e. characters or weapons. | |||
:Supplementary material, being supplementary to a product, should not be listed as an appearance; instead, they should be listed under the "See also" section. — <span style="font-size:120%; font-family:Palatino Linotype; font-style:italic;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 07:49, 30 May 2011 (EDT) | |||

I think that it just doesn't load to any pages. Could you please help me? [[User talk:Sorunome|Sorunome]] 06:09, 28 December 2011 (EST) | |||

== Data Drop/Transmissions == | |||
Hello there, | |||
Nicmavr suggested that I message you after speaking to him over the IRC about the Data Drop work that you did. Which I have to say is pretty cool, innovative stuff. :) | |||
Basically, what I'm trying to do is immitate your [template?] in a similarly styled set of articles on the HaloFanon wikia. I'm having just a tiny little bit of difficulty getting it working though. And would greatly appreciate your assistance! :D | |||
This is the main article: http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Transmissions | |||
I guess whatever I'm doing, I must be doing it wrong because the tabs aren't working. Also, I can't seem to make the font become black, which makes reading the transmission a tad difficult. :\ | |||
If you could take a look at it for me, that would be really sweet! Thank you, and have a Happy New Year! -[[User:TheLostJedi|'''<span style="color:maroon">TheLostJedi</span>''']] 10:48, 2 January 2012 (EST) | |||
:That's because Tabbox extension is not available on Wikia. :P | |||
:You would need to use the Tabber extension instead. Feel free to inspect [[wikia:deadspace:User:Subtank|my userpage on Dead Space wiki]] as an example. :) — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 06:45, 3 January 2012 (EST) | |||
== Redirect reversal == | |||
Hi, I am wondering if it is possible for you to reverse a redirect? | |||
:[[Release]] currently redirects to [[Release (level)]], though it should be the other way around since there is nothing that shares the name "Release", therefore rendering the (level) unneeded. Thanks.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} | |||

== RE: Userpage == | |||
Why thank you. :)--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} | |||
== Hmm == | |||
O hai Subtank! Could you please protect [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|this]] page from editing for a while? If you look at the history, you'll see what the problem is. Thanks.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} | |||
== Derping Around in Weapon Infobox == | |||
Hey Subtank, did I change the title in the Weapon Infobox page correctly? Vegerot wanted to change the title from "Manufacturer" to "Known manufacturers"... Or are we not suppose to do this? —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14 <sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|COM]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Mission Log]] • [[UserProfile:Spartan331|Profile]])</sub> 09:17, 21 February 2012 (EST) | |||
: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) | |||

== Misuse of the "Indirect mention" tag == | |||
There's been some misuse of the [[Template:Indirect mention|Indirect mention]] template, and [[User:Jugus|Jugus]], the others, and I agree that it needs to be changed to make its appropriate use more clear. Read [[Talk:SPARTAN-II_Program#All S-IIs should have Fall of Reach appearances|this]], [[Talk:Catherine-B320#Indirectness|this]], and [[User talk:ADinoSupremacist#Your Edits|this]] for the context and explanation. Anyway, you're in charge of the Appearances template, so decide what should be altered to prevent mishaps like these again.

:Actually, I was never in charge of the new Appearances templates. I was in charge of the old one (there was only one) but [[Template_talk:Appearances#Use|the consensus on that one was not to use it]]. Forerunner, I believe, is the one who spearheaded the new Appearances template. But we're getting off topic. However, on a related note, someone really needs to update the layout guide... it's outdated by two years! :O | |||
:I would adopt what Jugus has said in [[Talk:SPARTAN-II_Program#All S-IIs should have Fall of Reach appearances|this talkpage]]. A permanent solution to this is to create a guide on using the wiki (something that is on my To-Do list, right after creating a FAQ in Halopedia using Dead Space Wiki as a primary reference since it has worked quite well there), of which would include what the wiki means by "indirect mention".— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 14:31, 2 April 2012 (EDT) | |||
Ah, well [[Template:Appearances]] had said to refer to you for questions, so I assumed that meant you were in charge of it. But it's true, the layout guide does need a bunch of new information to be added, such as [[Talk:Cortana#Main image|infobox images being portraits rather than full body images]], File talk:H2-UNSCFrigateInAmberClad.png|images of specific ships having backgrounds while ship classes have transparent ones]], and [[Talk:Activation Index#Main Image|and being like a document by ONI and using the images most recent in the timeline.]] I'll speak to the admins on this then, see if we can add these updates.

If I read the template page and remembered clearly, the Reflist is <nowiki>{{Ref/Sources}}</nowiki> with columns. But apparently this isn't the case.
