I like it but Grizzlei makes some good points. Spartan Ops introduces not only new characters but other things as well, [[Requiem translocation artifact]] for example, eventually the features list could grow very long. Still, I'm fine with it either way.

Not too long ago, I played around with the idea of using tabbox as a solution to resolve the feature lists. While it worked as a function, it falls short when it comes to presenting itself nicely (e.g. [[Terminal/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|this article]] struggles to look nice for mobile users and those using 1280x screen resolution). As the list expands, the tabbox will no longer be useful. I thought of importing Wookieepedia's feature list template (App) but as I played around with the template, it didn't really help the article as much as I thought it would. As for now, I think the best solution would be to create a template that uses a combination of the [[template:hide|hide template]] and the [[template:Scroll box|scrollbox template]]. I can improve it by making it customisable by allowing editors to specify the field parameters without having to edit the actual template, but let's just focus on creating the template first. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  01:10, 27 August 2013 (EDT)

:To avoid extra work, we should also agree upon our new listing format before adding the new templates, given the fact that issues with the list categories were the main reason I started this proposal in the first place. I still think my initial proposal for the categories is mostly workable (excluding the ''Spartan Ops'' content of course), though only to games; sections like "Enemies" would hardly be appropriate for a comic book article, for example. How about something like this:
