Talk:Halo Wars Timeline Events

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Is there a problem with this page[edit]

I created this page a little while back, and it had been deleted. Is there a problem with this page? I was going to create a detailed timeline page with all the timelines I unlocked as I play. If you feel the need to delete it, please inform me as to the reason. I know this is just a stub, but I will fill it in during spring break, which is over the next 2 weeks or so. --Ant80 03:48, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I think there is. A timeline for Halo Wars should be on the page. There's no need for a page to give a prose piece on Halo Wars, and then another page to give a timeline version of that same page. The 888th Avatar (Talk) 03:56, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Given that there is actually a section within Halo Wars game disk that is called "Halo Timeline", which has unique information pertaining to the storyline that cannot be found elsewhere, do you still think that this is unnecessary? I am not sure what you mean by the "prose piece" of Halo Wars. If you mean the plot in the Halo Wars main page, this is very different from that. Please note that this is NOT the "prose piece" on Halo Wars. This material is included as a part of the game disk that, to my best knowledge, has not been reproduced in this wiki, and can only be unlocked by collecting black-boxes and playing skirmish missions. Does that help? --Ant80 06:25, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
In fact, there are 2 achievements dedicated to unlocking these events, as is mentioned in this article. I am not sure that these timeline events are present in the regular version of the game, but they are present in the limited edition of the game, which is what I own. There is another user nammed ZIPO, that has noticed these as well. If you need to verify, you can contact him through my talk page. I am moving the page to Timeline Events to avoid any conclusion. Please notify users, especially those that have a username rather than an IP address, that have painstakingly created the page before deleting newly created pages. --Ant80 06:46, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
I've been wondering myself why this timeline has not been posted in its entirety in the same way that things such as the readouts from the Halo 3 Terminals have. In my opinion, the events in the timeline should be transcribed and on the Halopedia. The timeline chronicles major events in not just Halo Wars, but for the Halo Universe as a whole. It also fills in some gaps for what happened in the game and beyond and provides a new reference point for the number of Spartans present at Reach. -Avatar of Chaos 19:23, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
