 The ''Halo Encyclopedia'' begins with a chronology of the events in the Halo universe. The book is divided into five sections: Humanity, Covenant, Forerunners, Flood, and Banished.
-The book's meta-narrative is framed as an communications log between [[Adjutant Revendicate]] - the [[sub-monitor]] of [[Installation 07]] created from the mind of the [[Auditor]] - and [[Invariant Bias]], Monitor of the [[Absolute Record]]. The brief exchange is present in the books opening and closing pages, and details Revendicate's wishes to enter information into the Absolute Record in the wake of [[The Harbinger]]{{'}}s [[Battle of the Silent Auditorium|defeat]] as depicted in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. The ''Halo Encyclopedia''{{'}}s text is framed as the repository of information gathered by Revendicate, giving the book an in-universe grounding in a similar manner to the [[Curator]] meta-narrative framing [[2016]]'s ''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]]''.

+Binary code exists attached to images of each chapter of the book along with the "The Absolute Record" prologue and "Audit Complete" epilogue. Although they are duplicated within their chapters, every chapter's binary code is distinct from one another. Joining them together in release order forms a code translating to "revenge."
 ==Trivia==
-*The {{Class|Lancer|fast-attack corvette}} and the {{Class|Scholte|missile corvette}} were to be featured in the ''Halo Encyclopedia'' but were cut due to space constraints.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFoundations|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-foundations|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Foundations|D=12|M=01|Y=2022}}

+==Production notes==
+*The birth date established for Spartan [[Bonita Stone]] was later contradicted by information provided in the novel ''[[Halo: The Rubicon Protocol]]'', released later in [[2022]]. For more information, see [[Halo: The Rubicon Protocol#Production notes|here]].
-==Mistakes==
+===Mistakes===
 *The [[CQS48 Bulldog]] is stated as having an 8-round magazine. The correct number of rounds should be 7.
-*The image labels for the [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman]] and the [[Sangheili Councilor]] are swapped.
+*The image captions for the [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman]] and the [[Sangheili Councilor]] are swapped.
-*On page 408 a [[Sangheili]] [[Combat Form]] is shown holding a [[Storm Rifle]] instead of a [[Plasma Rifle]], wich would be the correct weapon for that time.
+*The [[M247H machine gun]] is given two conflicting infoboxes on pages 174-175, with the conflicting designations M247 heavy machine gun and M247H heavy machine gun. The two images seem to use the ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' model and the ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' model respectively, and provide conflicting length measurements of {{Convert|64.6|in|cm|sp=us}} and {{Convert|64.5|in|cm|sp=us}}, respectively. It is unclear whether this is intended to explicitly separate the two models into similar, albeit different weapons, or a mistake on the part of the authors.
+*On pages 136 and 180, the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' chaingun is referred to as the [[M49 Vulcan]], while on page 170 it is named as the M250 heavy machine gun.
+*On page 136, the ''Halo 5: Guardians'' gauss cannon is erroneously referred to as the M69, while its dedicated infobox on page 181 refers to it as the [[M70 Gauss cannon]].
+*On page 153, the image captions for the [[Series 8 jetpack]] and the [[Series 12 jetpack]] are swapped.
+*The designation provided for the {{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}'s [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] is given as the 21X5V9 MAC, contradicting the 56A2D4 established in ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo|Halo: Warfleet]]''.
+*The weapons loadout listed for the {{Class|Charon|light frigate}} is retained as that established for {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} in ''[[Halo 4]]''; in ''Halo 4'', the ship was incorrectly depicted as ''much'' bigger than any UNSC frigate or cruiser, and had a massive armaments complement to match. As such, the armaments loadout provided (particularly the three [[M4093 Hyperion nuclear delivery system|Hyperion missiles]]) would not be able to fit inside the canon ''Charon''.
+**The ''Halo 4''-given armaments for the ''Charon'' include 3 Hyperion missiles, and 50 [[Archer missile]] pods; the canon model (as depicted in ''Halo 3'' wouldn't be able to fit any Hyperions inside, and only has 5 Archer pods. The number of [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s and [[M870 Rampart point defense gun|Rampart]] point-defence turrets remains accurate to the canon model.
+*The size statistics for the [[Klavrig Workshop Skitterer]], as listed on page 457, are enormous and much bigger than the Skitterer's in-game model or the [[:File:HW2 Skitterer.jpg|concept art]] scale reference, and even bigger than other vehicles in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' such as the [[Barukaza Workshop Locust|Locust]]. It is unclear whether this is an intentional upscaling, or an error in numbers.
+*On page 458, [[Okro 'Vagaduun]]'s birth world is listed as [[Feldokra]] while ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' instead establishes that he was born on Sanghelios' blood-moon, [[Suban]].
+* On page 479, the {{Pattern|Posu'gelka|needler}} is stated to be manufactured by Lodham Armory. Given [[Lodam Armory]] is a known manufacturer of the Needler, and this is the first time a “Lodham Armory” is mentioned in the series, it is most likely a typo.
