'''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.
The '''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. The list is refreshed periodically with new articles requiring improvement, but previous entries will be kept on the list until those articles have been brought fully up to date.

===Week 24 / 2014===
The following pages need to be updated with new information from ''[[Halo: Last Light]]'':
It's E3 week, which means that our attention should be focused on making sure our content surrounding the new reveals stays accurate and up to date. Speed is of the essence, but remember that citing sources is more important than ever when adding new information coming from all over the place. While new articles will undoubtedly be created based on information unveiled over the course of the week, here's a basic list of pages to keep an eye on:
#{{AID|}} [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE]]
#{{AID|}} [[Murtag Nelson]]
#{{AID|}} [[Gao]]
#{{AID|}} [[Gao Ministry of Protection]]


*{{AID|1}} [[Halo 5: Guardians]]
The following pages need to be updated with new information from ''[[Halo: Smoke and Shadow]]'':
*{{AID|1}} [[Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta]]
#{{AID|}} ''[[Halo: Smoke and Shadow]]'': Part Four still needs a plot synopsis.

===Week 23 / 2014===
Other articles needing attention:
;Mass edits
#{{AID|}} [[Drifts Randomly]] needs to be expanded with information from ''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]''.
#{{AID|1}} [[:Category:The Covenant]] needs to be cleaned up, with the appropriate subcategories used wherever applicable
#{{AID|}} [[Battle of Meridian (2558)]] needs to be expanded with information from ''Halo 5: Guardians''.
#{{AID|1}} [[:Template:Covenant Rank Infobox]] needs to be replaced with [[:Template:Unit infobox]] in the [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Covenant_Rank_Infobox|relevant articles]]
#{{AID|}} [[Glassing]] needs to be updated to include information on "deglassing" and other post-war activities on glassed worlds from ''Halo 5: Guardians'' and ''Hunt the Truth''.
#{{AID|1}} The categories [[:Category:Halo 3 rank insignia]] (the category "Halo 3 Ranks" should also be removed), [[:Category:Halo: Reach rank insignia]], and [[:Category:Halo 4 rank insignia]] need to be added to the relevant image files (license templates should also be added; in this case, [[:Template:Fairuse]] applies to all)
#{{AID|}} [[Planetary warfare]] still needs considerable work, especially with referencing, which, considering it is a subject which spans the entirety of Halo media, is going to take a lot of work.
#{{AID|}} ''[[Halo 2]]'': the development section is severely lacking in its description of the game's development process, particularly the difficulties therein (a good overview of which can be found, for example, in [https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/article/the-complete-untold-history-of-halo-an-oral-history this article])

#{{AID|}} Quote pages need to be updated according to the [[Halopedia:Layout guide/Quotes|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]].
#{{AID|}} The new notice templates [[:Template:Fan art]] and [[:Template:Fan work]] need to be added to the relevant [[:Category:Images|images]]. See the more specific usage notes on each template's page.

##{{AID|}} [[:Category:Halo 5: Guardians campaign|''Halo 5: Guardians'' levels]] (including [[Achievements (Halo 5: Guardians)|achievements on ''Halo 5: Guardians'']])

===Finished multi-page projects===
#{{AID|1}} The known [[War Games]] designations of multiplayer maps are to be moved from the article introduction to the new "Map" field of the [[:Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox|Multiplayer Map Infobox]]. See [[Adrift|here]] for an example of the new format.
#{{AID|1}} The appearance lists in game articles need to be updated to match the new standard described [[:Template:Featurelist#Standard layouts and usage notes|HERE]]. For a reference on this format in practice, see [[Halo 3#Appearances|HERE]].
#{{AID|1}} "Category:Sentinel Screenshots" is to be removed from images and replaced with subcategories of [[:Category:Images of Sentinels]]. Remember to omit the parent category when using subcategories!
#{{AID|1}} [[:Category:Images of Carter-A259]], [[:Category:Images of Kat-B320]], [[:Category:Images of Jun-A266]], [[:Category:Images of Emile-A239]], and [[:Category:Images of Jorge-052]] should be added to images of the characters in question. As always, remember to categorize other items in the image (e.g. locations, weapons and armor types) and omit parent categories that may be present (e.g. [[:Category:Images of SPARTAN-IIIs]]) unless said parent categories are applicable to other characters shown in the image (i.e. characters who lack a dedicated image category).
#{{AID|1}} The following dates, still found linked on many pages, need to be revised in accordance with recent updates to the Forerunner-era timeline:
##100,000 BCE -> [[97,445 BCE]]
##100,950 BCE -> [[98,395 BCE]]
##101,000 BCE -> [[98,445 BCE]]
#{{AID|1}} We are in the process of clarifying the nature of the [[Covenant remnants|factions that emerged]] during the [[Great Schism]]. The labels "Covenant loyalists" and "Covenant separatists", formerly used by the wiki and still found on some pages, are inaccurate as the Sangheili only ''threatened'' to resign from the High Council and did not secede of their own accord. Thus, other terms should be used to identify the parties involved; examples of acceptable terminology for the so-called "separatists" include "the Sangheili" or "Sangheili-led Covenant", etc. while the opposing side may be identified by their loyalty to the Prophet of Truth, or their military's leadership by the Jiralhanae. The Sangheili aligned with the Arbiter and allied with humanity may be identified by their affiliation with the [[Fleet of Retribution]], or [[Swords of Sanghelios]] in post-Schism contexts. Also note that this group does not constitute the entirety of the Sangheili species; the [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|splinter group formed by Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]], for example, is considered its own faction, and the majority of the Sangheili were unaligned with any particular group during the first days of the Great Schism.
#{{AID|1}} [[: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 <code><nowiki>{{Soundtrack|H1}}</nowiki></code> template and so on (see the Soundtrack 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 [[:Category:Soundtracks|Soundtrack]] category.

Halopedia Improvement I WANT YOU.png

The 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. The list is refreshed periodically with new articles requiring improvement, but previous entries will be kept on the list until those articles have been brought fully up to date. 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.

  37. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Guardian Custode & Peacemakers

The following pages need to be updated with new information from Halo: Last Light:

Other articles needing attention:

  3. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Glassing needs to be updated to include information on "deglassing" and other post-war activities on glassed worlds from Halo 5: Guardians and Hunt the Truth.
  4. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Planetary warfare still needs considerable work, especially with referencing, which, considering it is a subject which spans the entirety of Halo media, is going to take a lot of work.
  5. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Halo 2: the development section is severely lacking in its description of the game's development process, particularly the difficulties therein (a good overview of which can be found, for example, in this article)
  6. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Drugs: the "Humans" section should be expanded with information on e.g. recreational drugs.

Multi-article projects

  1. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Template:Walkthrough infobox needs to be added to walkthrough articles lacking it.
  2. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Comic scans with blanked speech bubbles should be updated with the text intact as per this forum.
  3. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png The list of Forge objects needs to be updated to include all Halo 4-related material, including creation of subpages for each individual category.
  4. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png 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.
  5. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png 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.
  6. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png 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.
  7. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png The new notice templates Template:Fan art and Template:Fan work need to be added to the relevant images. See the more specific usage notes on each template's page.
  8. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Template:Verbatim should be added to applicable articles and sections.
  9. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Category:Difficulty icons should be added to applicable images.
  10. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Achievements sections with tables (Examples: The Silent Cartographer and Gatecrashers) need to be added to campaign level articles lacking it.
    1. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Halo 2 levels (including achievements on Halo 2 for Windows Vista and achievements on MCC)
    2. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Halo 3 levels (including achievements on Halo 3 on Xbox 360 and achievements on MCC)
    3. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Halo Wars levels (including achievements on Halo Wars for Xbox 360 and achievements on Halo Wars Definitive Edition)
    4. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Halo 4 levels and certain Spartan Ops chapters (including achievements on Halo 4 for Xbox 360 and achievements on MCC)
    5. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Halo 5: Guardians levels (including achievements on Halo 5: Guardians)
    6. AID-checkbox-unchecked.png Some Halo Wars 2 levels (including achievements on Halo Wars 2)
