About Me Version 1.1

This is my first version of my userwiki. I hope to make this more useful for users who wish to use this to their advantage so I can help them.

Howdy folks I am CIA391, but y'all can call me Chris.

I am a gamer who tries to keep on top of things. If you have any questions please PM me and I will try my best to answer. Or I will show you to someone who can help.

I am rather active here. And will always respond if talked too. You may reach me here, on Halo Waypoint, on Halo Archive, on Twitter, or through the Halopedia Discord.

I personally love a good chat. I hope we can all be friends. (^-^)/

Halopedia improvement project

Phase 1 Main Wiki stuff

Step 1 Tidy up

This step is getting the wiki in a usable state and allows us to make radical changes.

1. Tidy the wiki by getting majority of the pages in the Special Pages areas tidy.
2. Clear out Project Userbox, and tidy up the mess it causes.
3. Clear out old forums and other group related materials predating 2012. This allows us to have a clean slate.

Step 2 Policy's and Rules

This step is getting the wiki rules, policies, guidelines, and other similar stuff up to date.

1. Get the Admin, Patroller, Rollbacker and other roles and ranks more defined.
2. Get the Policies more defined and updated.
3. Get the Guidelines more defined and updated.

Step 3 Improve the Main page

This step is improving the main page of the wiki and its navigation bar.

1. Talk possible improvements with admins.
2. Talk possible improvements with Patrollers and Rollbackers.
3. Implement said improvements if possible.
4. Ask for possible improvements from Halopedians and make a list.
5. Keep list for future updates.

Step 4 Conventions

This step is to improve and implement our Template/Category/File naming conventions we have. Also make better the source conventions. This will be defined in the Policies and Rules step but is something expanded upon here.

1. Decide what will be used for sources and naming conventions.
2. Start using the new conventions.
3. Update old names to suit the new conventions.
4. Update the old sources to suit the new conventions.

Phase 2 Keeping us going

Step 5 Internal Community improvement

This step is getting the wiki community fun

1. Reset featured articles for a clean slate.
2. Add community events on the wiki.
- 2.1. Monthly polls.(Example)
- 2.2. Weekly featured articles/pictures/videos for users to vote for.(rotate them monthly so the homepage is more dynamic)
- 2.3. Aprils fools day and other holiday celebrations.(we make a special Wiki skin for the holidays)
3. Make more dynamic news. More detailed and have a image to help.
4. Community Update on the Homepage.
5. Be welcoming to new members.

Step 6 External Community improvement

This step is to help build relations with other communities outside our internal wiki one.

1. Tidy and add to the Halopedia Community Portal using my other Community hubs as a example.
2. Use the Community portal to add community's to the Sidebar.
3. Start a Halopedia Twitter and Facebook and give admins access to them.
4. Add a bot to the Twitter and possibly Facebook so some automated posts are done to make life easier on the admins.
5. Add posts on Featured stuff from step 5.
6. Add Admin and Patroller made projects.

Step 7 Get more Patrollers and Rollbackers

This step is to help encourage members to become Rollbackers and Patrollers.

Phase 3 Keeping our work looking great

Step 8 Content

This step is generally what already happens, but is here so people have stuff to work on.

1. Use the Halopedia:Projects/Improvement to improve pages or add pages we need based on new media.
2. Use the Special:WantedPages to add pages we need.
3. Use the Special:AncientPages to updated old pages to suit newer standards.

Step 9 Keeping an eye on stuff

This step is kinda just the stuff that needs to be kept an eye on so they dont go out of hand in the future.

1. Keep an eye on the Special:SpecialPages to make sure they are kept in check.
2. Keep a possible way to get feedback on the Main Page and impliment the improvements we get or remove outdated stuff.
3. Update Old naming conventions to the new ones as done in Step 4.
4. Update old source conventions to the new ones as done in Step 4.
5. Keep updating the stuff we do in Step 5.
6. Keep the twitter and Facebook active with content.
7. Keep up with Step 7 unless we have plenty of them.
8. Keep up with 8 in general like we do already.

Project the Great Wiki Con

This is a potiential concept I will propose after Halopedia and Halo Nation make it to a state they are both Happy with their wikis.

The concept is holding a Booth or Panel at a Convention of some sort with both Halopedia and Halo Nation Members. The main reason this has to be a joint effort is that its unlikely Halopedia or Halo Nation alone can hold up a successful booth or panel on their own. So pairing up for such a project is required.

Potiential benefits include exposure for both sites. Friendship with Halo Nation and potiential future partnerships. And getting individuals out there who are good at talking to folk.
