| It's possible to change [[:File:Logo Halo.fr 2014.png|the image of Hfr]] ? So even change the link "French Halopedia" to that of WikiHalo (www.wiki.halo.fr) ?

| ==Update to the community section==
| |
| I just went though the community section, and well I feel it really needs a huge update.<br>
| |
| As sad as it is. Most of the foreign wikis are very outdated. With only German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish, being any good. Others havent been updated in over a month, and some have very little pages.<br>
| |
| Though first thing to do would be to update it with whats in the side-bar. Makes us consistent.<br>
| |
| Then I vote we take out any community that hasnt made an update in over 6 months(6 months is enough time in case the community took a break for a wee bit). <br>
| |
|
| |
| Then if you lot are up for it. We could either link this thread or add communities from it.(this is a big maybe, I know some like Halo Follower and Halo Nation are out the question at the moment)<br>

| == More Accessible Halo Timeline? ==
| |
|
| |
| Hello everyone, I am Arcmind. I signed up for Halopedia a while back, but did not have any idea on how to edit on a wiki, so i went mostly dormant. However i have gained tons of experience helping on the regular wiki and so forth.
| |
|
| |
| If you guys would allow me, i can create a more accessible Timeline for Halo. What i mean by that is, right now, (For Me Anyway) The Halopedia Timeline is a little hard to get at in the sense that if you want to see a particular date, you need to scroll through a list, and to go to the next date in the sequence, you have to scroll again. However what i am proposing, is that i create a large page complete with all of the dates, and their attached information. That way we can map out the entire universe. From there, we can classify the dates into eras, ans so forth. Well, what do you think? {{unsigned|Arcmind}}
| |
|
| |
| I think there is way too much to all be on single page, but it would help enormously to be able to click "next" or "previous". If I'm looking at the page for 2525, I should be able to click "next" and instantly be taken to the page for 2526. {{unsigned|Japeth555}}
| |
|
| |
| Yes, but i would if i wrote the timeline in sections, it would be very manageable. Making things way easier on Fans....How about this, if i can create the page to the community's liking, in the sandbox, then might the admins at least consider making the transition? {{unsigned|Arcmind}}
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| :The [[Halo universe]] page is kind of like that.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 19:42, 21 July 2016 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| Oh, i see that page is similar, but i wanted to make page complete with all of the events in the halo universe. Basically taking the events in the timeline, and then just put them in a complete page instead of a chart. {{unsigned|Arcmind}}
| |
|
| |
| :So pretty much... moving all the timeline pages into one mega-page...
| |
| :Only time I seen that working is when its to help beginners get into the lore. Pretty much a smaller scale version of it. Like what the Halo Wars Community Site did. http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Timeline.aspx
| |
| :I never seen it work in a huge way. Only other list that has had any success in that way is my Halo Canon Order, granted I have had a lot of support with that. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/halo-canon-order-halo-3-and-before/23bec818-d9c5-4932-981b-61efe8532f61/posts
| |
| :So um sadly I am against this idea. Sorry friend. But if majority agrees with the idea. I will play along. Never been one to argue on something in this regard.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 20:24, 21 July 2016 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| Your opinion is understandable. I am a huge halo fan, so the timeline is of no use to me, just thought i would create it for those who need it. Thanks for your input. :) {{unsigned|Arcmind}}

| |
|
| |
| Well, if there is a way we could get the timeline we have to scroll down easier, i would hope to try and get another one out for folks who might need the entire universe at their fingertips without having to click so much.

| |
| ==Timeline wip reset==
| |
| {{Main|Halopedia:Sandbox}}
| |
| Well looking over the work in progress I see a few problems.
| |
| *1: The source and notes list is very huge. Like it takes up nearly half of the page(well on mobile and small screens)... this is one reason why we keep to a more segmented timeline. Saves them becoming like uber huge. And easier to work with...
| |
| *2: The info is already on the wiki. This is pretty much just repeating what the timeline does.
| |
| *3: We even have other Alts that are similar, like the [[Halo Universe]] page. Or even pages dedicated to certain battles and events.
| |
|
| |
| Um and thats that. Dunno what else to say. If anyone else wants to agree or disagree please say.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 15:49, 31 July 2016 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| I get you, so then is there a way where we can make it easier to go through the timeline we already have? I mean i would really love it if that was possible, as scrolling through 0ver 300 entries to find the next date in the sequence can be extremely hard when conducting research etc. If there is something i can do in that regard, i am all ears. {{unsigned|Arcmind}}
| |
|
| |
| We just need an option for "Previous" and "Next". If I'm looking at the entry for 2527, I should be able to hit previous or next to take me to 2526 or 2528 respectively. It would also me nice if we could group the dates into specific eras in an infobox at the top or bottom of the page. -Japeth555
| |
|
| |
| So, why can't we do it? I mean i am perfectly willing to do the revisions myself. I just need to know what to do, and the community's approval, and i am good to go. {{unsigned|Arcmind}}
| |
|
| |
| Please sign your posts. It is also much easier in its current form (Not your timeline) then what you are suggesting. [[User:Alertfiend|Alertfiend]] - Warning, my comments may appear passive aggressive. <small>([[User talk:AlertFiend|Converse]]) </small> 20:40, 31 July 2016 (EDT)

|
| |
| Hhhh, I keep saying this, but i will say it again, if there is a way to improve the timeline we have now, then lets do it. Japeth already suggested what i wanted to do, so, my question now is, how can it be done?[[User:Arcmind|Arcmind]] ([[User talk:Arcmind|talk]]) 07:19, 1 August 2016 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| :Changes made to the [[Template:Timeline|Timeline template]]. To note, the eras (save for the Covenant Ages) are titles made up by fans and are not canon. So, there is no point grouping the dates into specific eras. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 12:34, 2 August 2016 (EDT)

|
| |
| ==Dark Theme==
| |
| Is it possible to create a slightly larger text size and a dark theme similar to that of the Halo Waypoint, Halo Archive or the parody called Halo Nation? It's easier to read on a darker background, especially at night and would help us attract people who prefer Halo Nation because it's easier to read. {{unsigned|The Master Builder}}

| ==Podcasts are fine==

| |
| *1. They keep producing content'''(the most important thing)'''
| |
| *2. They have an audience.
