This is primarily based on the Wookieepedia version. Investigate this also from Runescape.wiki. Fallout Wiki Survival guide, Fallout Wiki Editing 101, and Fallout Wiki University. And something for us to look into from a Discord side of things. Fallout University.

AND see about incorporating editing stuff like Template:Welcome. Stuff from Halopedia:Community and a few things from this Help:Contents

Welcome to the Halopedia Community

Main article: Halopedia:Community

Hello and welcome to Halopedia, a fansite dedicated to the Halo franchise and its fictional universe! Halopedia is primarily a wiki with a mission to document every aspect of the Halo series from its fiction, gameplay, marketing, and many many other areas. However, Halopedia is also home to a community of like-minded fans, dedicated to building the wiki and making it the best it can be. To that end, the site has many social features available, such as talk pages, our social media accounts and our Discord server. Be sure to join and support us any way you want to!

We are currently working on 16,206 articles created since November 4, 2004, and currently have 69 users editing the wiki. Halopedia relies on its editors and you can Join In to gain an expanded set of features and customization that also will expand your experience on the wiki. The more people we have have who help out and edit, the closer we can get to completing our mission. If you are worried about qualifications, just know that we all started off as beginners, the vast majority of Halopedians started with little to no writing or coding experience, and have learned everything they know from this community, other wikis, and the communities around us. So what are you waiting for! Sign Up and start editing!
