With only a handful of admins active at the moment and a great amount of new ''Halo'' content coming in the next year and a half, myself and the other admins have decided that additional admins are needed for Halopedia.

This serves as a reconfirmation for Morhek (formerly Specops306). He proved to be deserving of adminship and was [[Halopedia:Requests for Adminship/Specops306 2|granted sysop status]] back in 2008. After resigning a few years back, he has returned to activity here and has once again proven that he is deserving of sysop status.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 13:48, 19 June 2014 (EDT)

::Personally, they just feel like glorified talk pages. The implementation of user profiles a while ago was an attempt to make Halopedia more social and interactive, and we could tie that into a forum system for a more engaging experience without the need for silly minigames. In fact, I'm surprised we never did. I also think that a more conventional format would be more intuitive for newer members to engage with - the traditional forum format is pretty established, and some people have trouble with wikicode. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 00:04, 25 June 2014 (EDT)
