Apparently Halopedia and Halo Nation (Halo wikia) share a lot of the same pages because of the history.  
Apparently Halopedia and Halo Nation (Halo wikia) share a lot of the same pages because of the history.  


"Halopedia's growing community began to present a major problem for its creators; the site's growing size was producing a bill in excess of $150 a month for server usage. Throughout May, June, and July, the site would be sporadically down, until it finally went offline for several weeks.

Eventually, Halopedia had to be merged with halo.wikia.com, a formerly rival wiki simply referred as Halo Wikia that did not have the same issues. Despite the process of having to manually import every article from the original Halopedia (referred to as old.Halopedia due to its temporary filename), the site ultimately benefited with several new active users."

:It's already mentioned, in slightly different words: "In 2006, the original host was unable to financially support the wiki, prompting Halopedia to merge with Wikia's Halo Wiki site". FYI, there's a more exhaustive explanation of the history between Halopedia and Halo Nation [[Halopedia:FAQ#Why are there two Halo wikis?|on the FAQ]], though I've been considering making it more accessible since there seems to be a lot of confusion around about it. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:13, 2 June 2016 (EDT)
