Latest revision as of 04:40, February 23, 2024

Halopedia:Projects lists wiki-wide projects that need to be done in order to improve the current state of the wiki. Some projects may require entirely new articles to be created, and some may just require some code to be added to certain parts of the wiki. The Manual of Style still matters here, so it is recommended that users become acquainted with those prior to working on a project. For past projects, see here.

-==Quotes==
+==List of active projects==
-In a few articles such as [[Cortana]], there is a small collection of quotes at the bottom. I suggest removing all but one defining quote, and placing it above the article, similar to what has been done with the difficulty page [[Normal]]. If this can be done with all the articles (one defining quote), I belive it would improve the appearance of the pages. Thoughts? --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 15:36, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

-I have begun transcriptions of the various "Behind the Scenes" shows found on the [[Collector's Edition DVD]]. Due to the length as well as figuring out which Bungie employee is speaking, I have not been able to complete the article. Anyone who owns the DVD, please help out. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 20:39, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

-==Suggestions==
+===Halo Language Project===
-I propose the following:
+{{Main|/Halo Language Project}}
+This is the re-hauled "[[/Halo Language Project|Halo Language Project]]". Dedicated to recording the process how various spoken, written, and alternative languages are understood in Halo to lower the weight of the main page language pages.
+*[[Halopedia:Projects/Season 1 Sangheili dialogue|TV show Sangheili dialogue project]] - a project page for mapping and translating the Sangheili dialogue spoken in ''[[Halo: The Television Series]]''.
-) A "Titles" or "Rank" category or something like that for the new pages describing the Elite ranks and so on
+==List of completed projects==
+*[[/Timeline|Timeline project]] (commenced February 19, 2019): This aims to properly categorize timeline entries.
-) A category or place on the front page where we could detail the action figure series (Consistent with this wiki covering all types of Halo merch that I've seen)
+*[[/Appearances|"List of appearances" project]] (commenced on 28 September 2012): This is a Project meant to improve the "List of appearances" sections on pages. (This project has since been discontinued due to new organization ideas.)
+{{Halopedia IP}}
-) some kind of lock on the pages so that only people who are registered can change pages. The epedemic of vandalisms and posting of false or badly written information is so bad that it is impossible to keep track of everything. Instead of having to ban hundreds of ISPs, the tedium of having to keep creating new accounts will deter vandals.
+[[Category:Halopedia]]
--[[User:Ed|Ed]] 17:52, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
-:1: Easily done. 2: I suggest you first make a page detailing such works before we add empty links on the main page. 3: While I can do that, it's [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]'s decision, so I suggest talking to him directly. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 19:10, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
-===More Suggestions===
-more categories, just so that the pages can be further organized by type.
-) "Organizations" (for pages like [[ONI]], [[HIGHCOM]], [[High Council]], etc.)
-) "Ships" (all the ships)
-) "Ideaology" ([[Cole Protocol]], [[Great Journey]], etc.)
-) "Terminology" ([[Reclaimer]], [[Monitor]], [[Index]], that sort of thing)

-==Spanish==
-i propose why you don't make a halopedia spanish version? -IP 62.43.32.221 17:43(spanish hour) 23 August 2006
-:Well, I don't think anyone here knows Spanish well enough to look after the site properly. Does anyone know if it's technically possible at Wikia? --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 23:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
-::I know enough spanish, but It would take a very long time to translate and don't think it would get a community anyway. -[[User:ED|ED]] 05:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
-==Wanted Pages==
-These articles located here [[Special:Wantedpages]] need to be created!   Anyone with the knowledge please <font color=red>kill the RED</font>!--[[User:Esemono|Esemono]] 03:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
