Revision as of 01:34, November 3, 2014
Article Improvement Drive is a community project to improve the wiki's content through bringing articles in dire need of improvement—from cleanup to content expansion and updates—to everyone's attention. Ideally, the list will be refreshed with a new set of articles every week as the articles are fixed; however, if given articles on the list have not received the necessary attention by the end of this period, those articles will be kept on the list until they require no further improvement. An article is considered sufficiently repaired when it is properly sourced, accurate, comprehensive and well formatted—in short, up to our general standards of quality.
Everyone is welcome to participate in the improvement effort or suggest new articles to the list on the project's talk page.
Current articles
Ongoing projects
- General reminder: be sure to keep an eye on Catalog and incorporate any canon insights it may offer to the wiki, as well as add its new posts to the Archive.
Template:Walkthrough Infobox needs to be added to walkthrough articles lacking it.- The list of Forge objects needs to be updated to include all Halo 4-related material, including creation of subpages for each individual category.
- Many Halo 4 multiplayer map articles need to be expanded with information on map layout, features and gameplay strategies. See Avalanche for reference of a comprehensive map article.
- Game level transcripts need to be formatted in accordance with the the Layout Guide; for most articles, this means the standardization of the way characters and other subjects are referenced (e.g. omitting superfluous or overly long titles/ranks), as well as the addition of music tracks playing at a given time.
- Quote pages need to be updated according to the Layout Guide. For example, insignificant lines which are not quotable in any fashion should be removed. In addition, quotes which are part of a dialog between the subject and another character should feature a transcript of the lines of both characters as opposed to only those spoken by the title character. For an example of this in practice, see Forthencho/Quotes.
- Template:Soundtrack (transcluded in most articles under its old name "Halo music") needs to have a subtemplate specified in articles about individual music tracks; e.g. Halo: Combat Evolved tracks should use the
{{Sountrack|H1}}template and so on (see the Sountrack template for a full list of the subtemplates). In case any of the articles has the parent category "Soundtrack" manually inserted, it should be removed as well along with other possible formatting improvements. You can find these pages by browsing the Soundtrack category.
Week 45 / 2014
- This week's focus and goal is to wrap up content from Halo: Broken Circle satisfactorily before The Master Chief Collection and Nightfall hit next week (while keeping an eye on news regarding The Master Chief Collection). Ideally the target articles are every single page on the Halo: Broken Circle appearances list; however, since it is reasonable to assume not everything in the book can be incorporated in this timespan, the usual rule of thumb about prioritization applies. Some subjects that can be expected to be of importance and require content additions:
- Halo 2 Anniversary Skulls needs to be created with information on said skulls
- Halo Waypoint needs to be updated to reflect the October 14 overhaul

In addition to the above, the following categories are full of articles in need of improvement:
- Articles needing general cleanup
- Articles needing fact cleanup
- Articles needing references
- Articles with outdated content needing to be brought up to date with information from recent media
- Articles that are stubs, requiring more information about the subject
- Articles with overly detailed sections that need to be summarized to be more concise
- Articles needing grammar proofreading
