===Other===
[[:Category:Wikia Staff|Wikia Staff]], [[:Category:Wikia Helpers|Helpers]] and [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia:SpamTaskForce VSTF users] also have administrator access to Halopedia, as well as every other wikia. These users should not be contacted about local issues; Halopedia administrators will deal with local problems.
