More...

I'm sure the creators of this project are already aware of this, but just a reminder that Era icons are needed for the HGN, GoO, and ILB before we can start adding them to every appropriate article. --ED(talk)(gaming) 03:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I've already made the HGN and GoO images; all we need are ilb. güéߣ¥-πéҐøñ¥-ħîИg¥ 03:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Halo Wars is also likely needed, too. --ED(talk)(gaming) 19:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Aight, I'll make one for each of those in a while... right now I'm gonna go play Halo, since I just now found the only tutorial I've ever seen on corner riding. Actually, I'll make an article first. güéߣ¥-πéҐøñ¥-ħîИg¥ 19:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
ED, I that email, I already said I needed to get ILB and RvB. Check it. ;-) Cheers, RelentlessRecusant progress-wheel.gif TALKWORKSPEAK 19:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

titled links

shouldn't the little pictures be titled links, like in Template:Admins? like [[Era|H3]] would show the image up in the corner and it would say "This article is about halo 3" and then you click on it and it takes you to Halo 3. just an idea Phil.e. [Talk to me] 19:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Already spoke to Phil.e. on CGI:IRC, deemed temporarily infeasible. Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team Fleet Admiral.jpg TALKSPEAK 21:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

infeasible? it works, just look at the top right... Phil.e. [Talk to me] 16:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I like Phil's idea, and in fact its crucial - visitors who aren't familiar with the site might not be aware of their meaning. I'll take a look at the coding of both later, but its most likely beyond my abilities. Will scrounge up some help from others if needed. -- Manticore Fleet Admiral.jpg Talk | CSV 01:42, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Level Icons

It'll probably be hard for you guys but I think there should eventually be icons for levels.There probably wouldn't be pictures for all of 'em but there could like abbreviations such as AotCR for Assault on the Control Room.Just an idea.Śþλ®ţÿмЭ™ Talk 17:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Categories maybe, but icons are a bit over the top. Not many articles are related to only one level, and thus, we could potentially end up with far too many era icons on pages. Most pages relating to a specific level link to it in the opening sentence anyway. -- Manticore Fleet Admiral.jpg Talk | CSV 01:46, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

MORE!

Iris, Halo: Uprising and Halo: Contact Harvest probably need icons sooner or later, too. --ED(talk)(gaming) 05:08, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

There we go. Anything else? --Dragonclaws(talk) 07:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

WEVE GOT TO HAVE A HALO CE 1 !!! --þ†öW讥 ^ (UNSC Fleetcom)(UNSC History)(UNSC Mision Log) 14:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Out of curiosity...

Why exactly is Red vs Blue listed as an era? XRoadToDawnX 04:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Beyond me, I don't know why we have one in the first place. User:CommanderTony/Sig

New Icons?

With lots of new info from Waypoint and the Encyclopedia, should they have era icons too? --Jugus 15:18, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that would be necessary.- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 15:22, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
I was just keeping in mind that the Era template is useful if one doesn't know where a particular article's info is from. As the Encyclopedia and waypoint are relatively major sources of canon information, and some people may not have access to them, it would be reasonable for them to have era icons. Plus, there is already an icon for Xbox.com. I'd hardly say that's more significant than Waypoint or the Encyclopedia. Also there are already pages that have no era icon at all, because all of the info becomes from the encyclopedia and not anywhere else.
By the way, is the Realworld template going to be integrated into this one any time soon?--Jugus 15:46, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
It will be once all of its links have been removed and replaced with the Era template (by simply adding RW in the template parameters). Waypoint is a hub to publish media and not full informations, thus, I don't think we need one for that. For the Encyclopaedia; let me discuss this with other Administrators.- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 16:27, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, i thought i'd just point those out. Although new canon information is published through Waypoint; The former Ascendant Justice staff does that on Sundays. It isn't much, but there's always a fair bit of new info. For example, the stuff about the Say My Name or Uplift Reserve. And they expand it every week.--Jugus 16:40, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
I agree that we need an Era icon for the Encyclopedia. It pretty much can be considered a published Halo Bible, after all. --UNSC Trooper Unsctrooper small.jpg TalkMy Work 18:04, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
Ok. I guess we can include Halo Encyclopaedia in the Era Icon list.- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 18:13, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
Is the Bungie Staff template going to be integrated into the Era template any time soon? I was just wondering this because if it's going to be included, the bstaff boxes could be deleted at the same time as the Realworld ones - this would save a lot of work. But will it work if the "BS" is added to articles right now, or does it have to be added only after it's been included to the Era template? --Jugus 21:52, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
I'm trying to get the perfect GIF image to represent Bungie Staff. So, it could take a while. Regardless, you can proceed by adding "BS" now. It will not show up in the article until I upload the image.- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 22:03, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
Nice, but right now, the Bstaff icon links to a nonexistent page; "Bungie Staff". Might wanna change it to link to the category. And speaking of new era icons, I think Evolutions should have one. After all, it seems to be a pretty big source to new stuff. --Jugus 13:57, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
As per above. We definitely need the Evolutions icon.--Thanksgiving.jpg General5 7 Gobble? 18:19, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Evolutions Icon

Just to note, the Halo: Evolutions icon is slightly smaller then the other icons. It isn't that big of a deal, but it looks a little uneven when lined up with the other icons.
