How do I join
I wanted to join, so how do I do it? I am just worried I mess up the page. pls message me at my talk page. Thx. R1e2u3b4e5n6 03:27, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Split Article
This CoH page is really big and cluttered and should probably be split up. Obviously its up to the High Council but I would split the page into the following:


 * Halopedia:Covenant of Halopedia or CoH - Should have a summary of CoH and details on the high Council and the Constitution of the High Council
 * Halopedia:Covenant of Halopedia/Members - A members list and the ranking info and userboxes
 * Halopedia:Covenant of Halopedia/Articles for Improvement - A listing of all the articles and how to vote on them

Just a suggestion -- Esemono 05:44, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I hate to admit it, but we really should split the page a bit. I'll speak with RR to see what we'll do. Also, the Council should confirm our deicion then.

 * Yeah you guys should really consider it -- Esemono 07:24, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm no councillor or anything, but i don't see why we don't! it really works for the UNSC of Halopedia, and it just makes sense. Kora &#39;Morhekee 03:09, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Elite Rank Pages
Firstly, why am I always suggesting big improvement things like this? First it's the images, then it's which links should be linked, now it's the Elite Ranks thingys. Anyway, my idea:

I was working on the Ship Master article, when I realized that all the rank pages have different sections. One has Rank, Combat, and Appearance, another has Rank, Appearance, Known of this Rank, and Trivia, and a third has Known of this Rank and Sources. But if we want these pages to look good, we need to decide on specific sections that every Elite rank page must have, and then, if necessary, individual pages may have additional sections, such as Supreme Commander with a Halo Graphic Novel section. Personally, I think that we should have a main summary with no heading, so it's above the table of contents, and then Rank, describing the role and privileges of that rank, Appearance, with a Physical sub-section describing what they look like and a sub-section for different appearances in each game, Combat, describing their equipment and tactics, Known of this Rank, just a list of the Elites holding this rank and their role, and Sources, with the references tag. Additional sections would go between Combat and Known of this Rank. So, in a nutshell, this is what we'd have:

Summary

Rank

Physical Appearance

Appearances


 * Indefinite number of sections for every piece of media it's mentioned in

Combat

ADDITIONAL SECTIONS

Known of this Rank

Related Links

Sources

So, thoughts, ideas, questions, comments? If you guys agree, I'll start work on this later, on the Councilor, Fleet Master, and Imperial Admiral articles, and you guys can squabble over who cleans up which article. Sound good? BTW, the reason I'm asking is just for suggestions for any additional sections anyone feels are needed for every rank article. If no one says anything within 24 hours, I'll assume this is good and commence my workations. Guesty-Persony-Thingy Early 90's to March 31, 2007. RIP. 20:45, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree, formatting the rank articles would give a better image. Also, I don't know if its relevant to your suggestion, or a whole different topic for formatting, but don't you think that articles dealing with the Covenant should use the Covenant's name for the specific thing and the human denomination as a secondary name instead of the other way around. After all, we are the CoH. What would the Sangheili do? As an example, the "Elite (Sangheili)" article should be titled inversely. --High Seraph 04:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Piece of s*** didn't save my post! Anyway, I'll make them Physical Appearance and Appearances instead of Sightings. Also, you're right, but many people think it's better this way. I had it explained better, but I don't feel like writing it all again.

subgroups need to be added
There is now a new subgroup, but its not listed in the description part with the picture and stuff. It is the PoH

Splitting Up Article
someone asked why the article wasnt split up into sections, like the UoH. they're right - it would make the page a lot less cluttered. and a page for members, with a section for people requesting promotions or asking to join, would be good as well, freeing up this talk page here. Kora &#39;Morhekee 08:00, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Someone did it - it looks great, and is easily navigable now! Kora &#39;Morhekee 02:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Priveleges
Could someone explain what priveleges or expectations people get with their ranks? RR explained to me that low ranks dont really get many priveleges, but are they given anything? what great power comes from this great responsibility? Kora &#39;Morhekee 01:18, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

The higher the rank, the more important you are to the cause, and the more power you will slowly gain. The higher ranks (ultra and over) are to command and lead the improvement of articles and internal intel. Once users become leaders (ultras +), they will be allowed to dictate what specifically on pages needs to be improved, giving specific users jobs and positions.

Rank?
Isn't the Ultra Elites supposed to be higher ranked than Zealots? In the game, I killed Zealots faster than Ultras. For Ultras, I took three shotgun shots to put one down. :P -  Blemo   Talk   Contributions

No, Ultras are lower in rank. Ultras appear on all difficultlies, but Zealots only appear on Legendary. Also you'll see several Ultras protecting a single Zealot on Legendary, indicating the Zealot is far more important than the Ultra guards. Besides all that, everything we know about the Covenant says that Zealots are higher ranked.

Supreme Commander Userbox
Who made it pink? (shudders)  Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 04:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

It's not pink, it's a very crapy purple. It's the best i've to represent a SC. If someone has something better, show us, and maybe we'll switch it.
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [[Image:Donutsig.PNG|35px]] [ Comm ]

That's odd. For other userboxes, its a slightly less...uh...light red purple. I'm looking for the source for the userbox, to see if i can help, but i'm not having much luck finding it. Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 05:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

why is it that the other groups are subgroups of this one,can't they just be normal groups,at least make the UNSC one a normal group cause the UNSC a subgroup of the Covenant?that kind of seams weird Johnny 01:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

idea/qustion
should the covenant of halopedia be split into covenant sepretists of halopedia and covenant loyalists of halopedia and make the ranks like elite and brute ranks? Shangheliosshanghelios

ED?
The front page of the CoH group needs to be updated, it appears to be far out of date. Also, what rank would I be if I were to join the CoH? -- E D  18:53, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Ranks and Usergroups
I was thinking: Maybe Ranks could be assigned to people not in any usergroups, because I think that the ranks would spur people to improve the site, but the groups put a restriction as to what they're responsible for and able to improve. This is only a suggestion, but if a ranking system could possibly be made for people who don't want to restrict themselves to one subject.

I specialize in games, so I would join the GoH, but I like the UoH's ranking system better. If you could change the ranking system of the GoH, that would be nice, I'm not fond of it.

Separatist or Loyalist?
Shouldn't we have a loyalist and separatists of Halopedia? So the loyalists would have brute ranks and separatists have elite ranks? I'm just saying you know to like keep to the storyline of Halo. -- Dedras &#39;raxus 19:36, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Edit Count
I have thought of something that make it easier on both Members & the Councilors. Under each Rank (such as "Ranger") have the amount of edits the Councilors would like the Member to have. That way the Councilors aren't constantly being asked how many edits that Member needs to ask for a promotion. I am awaiting your decision. --
