| Here we discuss and list all new projects to be done on the Halopedia.
| | {{Status|Halopedia}} |
| | '''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 [[Halopedia:Manual of Style|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, [[Halopedia:Projects/Archive|see here]]. |

| [[Halopedia:Projects/Archive|Archived Project Pages]] | | ==List of active projects== |
| | ===Content-based=== |
| | *[[/Improvement|"Improvement Drive" project]] (commenced on 24 February 2014): This is the Article Improvement Drive, made to improve and create pages for Halopedia. |
| | *[[/Soundtrack project|Soundtrack project]] (commenced on 15 April 2021): This project is set to rehaul the soundtrack pages so they are easier to follow, and so oddities are recorded. |
| | *[[/Forge project|Forge project]] (commenced October 2022): A project in collaboration with ForgeHub, to renew, improve and overhaul [[Forge]]-related content on the wiki. |
| | *[[/Firewall|Firewall project]] (commenced May 2023): A project intended to better-examine and document the [[Precipice]] [[Story Shard]]s for ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. |

|
| ==3D Models== | | ===Wiki element-based=== |
| Just wondering if it would be possible to add 3D models of weapons, maps etc. Here is an example of a pet from WoW: http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=3823#modelviewer
| | *[[/Overall|"Halopedia Improvement project"]] (commenced on 9 July 2017): This is a project created to improve Halopedia and make it a better place to use. |
| It would make Halopedia a lot more interactive if we could do that with weapons and maybe maps to start off with, and build from there. Also, maybe we could put a sort of "front page" kind of thing for Halopedia, like what Wikipedia has. What I mean by that is it has opening page: http://www.wikipedia.org/ which is different from it's main page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page . A lot of Wikis have this and it might be something that Halopedia might want, if it is possible. Just some suggestions.
| | *[[/Design|"Halopedia designers" project]] (commenced on 8 September 2017): This is a project created so users can submit logos, backgrounds and other similar stuff. |
| [[User:Trojan 117|Trojan 117]] 25 July, 2008 | | *[[/Interface Overhaul|Interface Overhaul project]] (commenced on 18 May 2020): This project aims to overhaul how readers and editors interact with the wiki. |
| | *[[/Wiki rehaul project|Wiki rehaul project]] (commenced "properly" on 8 August 2020): This project is to unify the separate wiki projects the staff is doing into 1 project. |

| ==Streamlining Level Pages== | | ===Mapping projects=== |
| If you were to take a look at our collection of pages that talk on the levels, you'll see a mess. [[Halo 1]] has some pages that have random thoughts on the page like [[Wizard]] and [[Hang 'Em High]], and others virtually don't exist, like [[Prisoner]]. Halo 2 has a level pages with a bit more content to them, but still vary highly from each other. [[Relic]] has a "more info" section on it, as well as a trivia section, while they disappear in [[Headlong]], but a strategy section is added, as well as an opinionated Do and Don't section. [[Halo 3]]'s beta maps currently share a layout, image, and trivia section, as well as the intro, but they could eventually fall out of sync.
| | These are projects dedicated to mapping locations in the Halo Universe. |
| | *[[/Reach Mapping|Reach Mapping project]] (commenced on 22 March 2020): This project aims to create a comprehensive map of Reach, based off the information available to us. |
| | *[[/Mombasa Mapping|Mombasa Mapping project]] (commenced on 15 May 2021): This project aims to understand, place, and create a comprehensive database of the Mombasa area, based on available information. |
|
| |
|
| I propose that we create a universal layout, either for all maps or a game by game basis, and enforce it. A new Halopedian should be able to find a level page, and use the level template to surf around our collection of level pages and learn many interesting and helpful facts about them. If you have an idea for a potential section for the layout, post it, and we can discuss to see if it would add content to the page.
| | ===Halo Language Project=== |
| | {{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]]''. |
|
| |
|
| For a start, I think that each page should keep the game description at the top, then follow it up with a simple map description, such as "Wizard is a small, symmetrical multiplayer map for Halo 1." The first section could be level layout, then the next could be a strategy section, if it would be possible to keep it unbiased. Then a weapon/vehicle/powerup/equipment placement section could be done, followed by optional trivia/easter egg and glitches sections. Only one image should be included on the page, which would be in the information sidebar. An exception would be for the glitches and trivia sections, if something in those yielded an interesting result (such as the Rooster Teeth vending machines).
| | ==List of completed projects== |
| | | *[[/Timeline|Timeline project]] (commenced February 19, 2019): This aims to properly categorize timeline entries. |
| However, those are just my suggestions. By all means, add in yours if you want to create some order to the many multiplayer maps we have written about. The community we have here is what makes Halopedia so great, and could make the level pages great, as well.
| | *[[/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.) |

| == 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 dont no, i hate wen spanish do play halo becus they swar and sey bad things obut them i dont like it. But i think thet spanish need a spanish halopedia and i think they need it jan 31 2009
| |
| | |
| 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)
| |
| | |
| well i could help which the spanish thing...because i live in venezuela and here all we talk spanish =P...but it may take a long time to translate
| |
| | |
| well...i think its a good idea i can help 2 translate, there r much people here in mexico, another lat.american countries and in spain that want to know about halo but the info is all in english :D I can help if u want :D i have a lot of time -- [[User:PAX00|pax]] 04:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)PAX00
| |
| | |
| Yeah I know much Spanish i can help to translate also. I'm with it. [[User:Clavix2|Clavix2]]
| |
| | |
| I could help translating it... but if the games are in english, how many spanish speakers do u think play? if they dont play halo they probably dont need halopedia, i personally love halopedia =]
| |
| | |
| you could always go on google tanslate. you could copy and paste chunks of text and it would translate it. just a suggestion [[User:C'Sept_Rahsimee|C'Sept Rahsimee]] 16:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

| :Those translation websites are terribly inaccurate. -- [[User:Manticore|<font color=black>'''Manticore'''</font>]] [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] <sup>[[User talk:Manticore|<font color=black>Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Manticore|<font color=black>Contributions</font>]]</sup> 14:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

| Guys, any Wikia proposals (such as other language Halopedias) should be made at [[w:c:requests|Requests]], not here. The [[w:c:es.halo|Spanish Halopedia]] was founded in July, if anyone is interested in contributing there. -- [[User:Manticore|<font color=black>'''Manticore'''</font>]] [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] <sup>[[User talk:Manticore|<font color=black>Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Manticore|<font color=black>Contributions</font>]]</sup> 14:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

| I don't know about you guys but I have already finished with the John 117 page. Check it out if you wish. -- [[User:SITHASASSIN47|<font color=black>'''SITHASASSIN47'''</font>]]

| Yeah i would help I was born in Spain and all we ever speak is spanish. I would help, but i must agree not many people outside the U.S. enjoy halo as much as we do, and it would take a long time. [[User:MASTER R0ACH|MASTER R0ACH]]
| |
| | |
| In fact, the spanish Halopedia DOES exist (http://es.halo.wikia.com/wiki/Portada). I am a spaniard super Halo fan, and I've edited part of it, but the translation works are slow and difficult to be made on my own... some extra help would be quite nice ;-).
| |
| So to speak, the Haloverse is a world phenomenon. Of curse that outside the USA it is not as well-known as it is there, but it doesn't mean that non-american people don't know things about this saga. I personally think a multi-language Halopedia is necessary.

| ==Save The Axons!==
| |
| | |
| Anyday now www.Ilovebees.com will be taken down as the game is over and all the wav files that are hosted on the site will be lost! (Quite surprising it hasn't happened already considering it was 2004 when the game ended.)
| |
| | |
| Therefore it is necessary to upload the files onto our site so that we have a record of the I Love Bees saga! [[Talk:I Love Bees Axon Clips|For more info click here]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| hey, i just went to www.ilovebees.com and found something interesting, for your information: theres a brand-new clock counting down. any1 have info on this? this could be countdown to another game maybe? halo wars? halo 4? at any rate, this means we don't have to rush to archive the site, since its doing stuff again[[User:Darthblaze99|Darthblaze99]] 19:13, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Probably for Halo Wars. Halo: Chronicles would be released in a few years.
| |
| | |
| Or a count down to site closure.
| |
| | |
| ==Someone quench the thirst of diagrams!==
| |
| I am often encountering pages which needs diagrams, and I must say that it seems that I'm the only one doing something. The number of diagram needing articles just keep growing, and I'm getting tired of this. I won't stop though, but it would be nice to see some team members! {{TS}} 20:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

| ==We Need New Pics==
| |
| I have gone on an editing spree fixing little errors and adding new info after contact harvest came out but as a photographer I see that many pages are lacking pics photos catch the eye and make the pages aesthetically pleasing. also many of the pics we have are from halo 1 or 2 we need lots of h3 pics for these pics are good for sections of the page talking about the species in that game but for the most part i think we need updated pic so we need to maybe start a contest for h3 pics, pick a winner and keep all of the submitted photos for use(all done on-line no real world photos) or anything we can do to get pics we need to update halopedia and soon i talked to a few of my friends who came to halopedia for tips and other things and they say it is a bit out of date and have stopped coming! we need new pics!

| ==I knows where to get a picture==
| |
| Go onto Google and search for LEGO Halo. When the screen appears before the first result there should be something that says "Image results for LEGO Halo". Then there should be three pictures. The one to the right is the one I'm talking about.
