Is there currently any work being done on said project, or is it in stasis? Do we have any news on its development? Lieutenant Mcloganator
Date
Dude, images used in the date are wrong. Today's the 01/02/09 (1st Feb 2009). Not 02/01/08. 02 and 01 are plausible due to sequence, but the year is most definately wrong. —This unsigned comment was made by 220.255.7.153 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~
- We use the US date format, hence the 02/01. I've updated the image for 2009 though. — Manticore [ Admin • IRC • HOTM • Bot ] 13:14, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Private Hosting: Halopedia.org
Alright, I've brought this up in the past, and it's about time to make it happen. My name is AgentSeethroo, and I sort of created this site, back on www.halopedia.org, when it was a part of the gamerfocus network. DragonClaws was the first admin that I appointed, and he went from there with keeping up with the 'pedia. He appointed more admins, and when I ran out of funds to keep the site up and running, you guys moved it over to Wikia. Kudos. I'm incredibly happy that the site I created has grown so much. However, when I see that growth, I hate that it's attached to something like Wikia.
I'll give the hosting info to the person that would like to start moving the databases over. Let's get this project going. Email me at AgentSeethroo@gmail.com.
Thanks, -Seethroo
- Hello sir, and welcome back to Halopedia. Though quite frankly, I don't think we have much of a problem with the fact that we are currently a part of Wikia and Wikia gaming, that goes for me, many other Admins, and a ton of other users.

- Maybe it's a matter of my pride. I dunno. I just think the 'pedia should be independent. Or dependent on me. heh. Update: halopedia.org is totally unavailable now. Does anyone have ideas for a new domain? - TehSeethroo
Account info has been emailed. I personally am highly against creating a divergent Halopedia community. Wikia has contributed to great advertisement that makes us well known in the Halo community and offers us a stable website. The bandwidth problems we had will be incredibly more troublesome than before with the great growth the wiki community has seen. Plus, why compete with each other when our goals are essentially the same? It will be like the competition we had with H2 wiki, only more so. Most Halopedians will stick with the stable resource over the shaky independent site. It seems like a big mess for nothing. --Dragonclaws(talk) 04:57, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Incidentally, this blog can serve as a record of all your lost time. --Dragonclaws(talk) 05:01, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
List of Halopedia articles
Does anyone know a way to discover new Halopedia articles without having to use the "random page" button?
- Special:Newpages — Manticore [ Admin • IRC • HOTM • Bot ] 10:40, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Is there a way to view all of the Halopedia articles alphabetically like the index on wikia.com? Lieutenant Mcloganator 14:40, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Make new pages
Can you make new pages here? If so... How? —This unsigned comment was made by Sniper994 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~
- If you type an article name that doesn't exist into the search bar, it will give you the option of creating it. Alternatively, you can edit a page and add a link to the nonexistent article, which you can view in the preview and click on to take you to create the page. --Dragonclaws(talk) 06:28, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Skin
When I log into Halopedia, the skin is the usual greenish color look. However, when I log out, it is an african background. My preferences are set to administrator's choice, but how can i get the african background when logged in? BPL 16:44, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, never mind I logged out and back in and the skin changed. BPL 16:45, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
