	:I don't think this proposal is entirely without merit, as the biological age/chronological age discrepancy is something that should be acknowledged when dealing with spacefaring characters in the Halo universe. However, as Imrane mentioned, our infoboxes actually only list the character's date of birth and death while their age is only mentioned if they're dead. In any case, long stints of cryo-sleep are a given with most characters who has seen long-term UNSC military service (sans those with a more fixed posting), so a separate notice about it doesn't seem all that necessary to me. Maybe if it could be made as unintrusive and brief as possible, but I'm not sure how. Something like a note (as in references group/note) would work, but it would be too complicated to implement. A template is the best I can come up with. --[[User:Jugus\|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus\|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] \| [[Special:Contributions/Jugus\|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 01:12, 29 April 2016 (EDT)		:I don't think this proposal is entirely without merit, as the biological age/chronological age discrepancy is something that should be acknowledged when dealing with spacefaring characters in the Halo universe.

			::We could add a age section into the infoboxes from when we last saw the character in the timeline, unless they are dead then it should go next to that instead, with a note of how long they have been in cryo(if we can gauge how long), but really I personally cant see a good way to add it in otherwise. -[[User:CIA391\|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391\|talk]]) 15:05, 29 April 2016 (EDT)
