To help the growing wiki | '''Halopedia''', originally known simply as "'''Halo Wiki'''", began as an idea by the then [[clan]], the BlackBoxRepublic to be the first Halo Wiki around October 28, 2004.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20041028025513/http://www.blackboxrepublic.com/ '''www.blackboxrepublic.com''' ''- "Your Halo resource, home of the first Halo wiki"'']</ref> and on November 4, 2004, [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]], with the help of [[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] the site was formed with the URL <nowiki>"http://wiki.blackboxrepublic.com"</nowiki>. | ||
To help the growing wiki AgentSeethroo appointed several other administrators to assist in the maintenance of the site, namely [[User:Buz|Buz]] and [[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]]. | |||
Becoming ambitious, AgentSeethroo and Porplemontage created GamerFocus: a wiki network/gaming site. Because of the recent creation of Halowiki.net, the wiki's name was changed to "Halopedia" as a riff on "Wikipedia" and moved to www.halopedia.org, where it became part of the wiki network alongside a game cheats wiki, an general video game wiki, and the [[MarioWiki:Main Page|Super Mario Wiki]]. | Becoming ambitious, AgentSeethroo and Porplemontage created GamerFocus: a wiki network/gaming site.
