{{Quote|Halopedia can tell you nearly anything you may need to know about Halo. Halopedia is also a wiki, which means it's constantly expanding. It knows everything about the Halo games, books, upcoming movie, and other appearances, and with your help, it can grow even larger. But how can one trust a wiki? Surely some crazy could come in and troll the entire place up. Well... they could, but they wouldn't get too far. Halopedia is guarded by rabid watchdog like fans who are constantly watching the Recent Changes page to check for the slightest error, either grammar or factual. Okay, that's a bit exaggerated. The real deal is that Halopedia is under almost constant watch by someone who can set everything right. With 3 very responsible sysops and a mob of other users, Halopedia is in safe hands. Be sure to check out Halopedia and even you could find something to contribute.|Dragonclaws's description of the wiki. (2006)Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag Since the renaming, the wiki has actively document the developments of the Halo franchise and the fictional universe, along with gameplay information and help.[1]
In 2006, the original host was unable to financially support the wiki, prompting Halopedia to merge with Wikia's Halo Wiki site.[2] From 2007 to 2010, Halopedia was one of Wikia's most active and popular wikis following the release of Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. In 2009, the wiki was awarded as the "Best Resource Website of 2009" by Hawty McBloggy, now a member of 343 Industries.[3]
Following a mandatory skin change and stricter Terms of Use in mid-2010 by Wikia, Halopedia moved back to an independent domain, hosted by the previous host.[2][4]
Halopedia has come to be regarded as accurate and reliable among the Halo fanbase and media alike,[5] and has been used as a source for several works of published literature.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
