== Remove the Ghost of Lockout ==
its just a mod the modder came clean a while back over at HIH when they had there mod forum. it was also recreated again by another modder as a huge halo fan i see no reason for this to be even here.

== IMing?? ==
Is it possible to put in a IM kind of page? or an IM itself?
Just wondering. I am new to wiki editing.
Thanks.

:Halopedia doesn't have an IM feature. That isn't possible.

== Featured quote/picture ==

I'd just like to make a suggestion.<br />
Perhaps we should make some limit so that nominated quotes or pictures can't remain up forever, because there are some there now which i'm pretty sure are never going to reach featured quote status.<br />
Maybe we could make so that once they have negative 2 or 3 votes they get removed.<br />
What does everybody else think?<br />
Cheers<br />

:A better solution would be to create an archive of nominated pages that have received no votes in a certain amount of time (perhaps 2 months). That way, if interest spikes again in a certain page, there are old votes archived that can be reconsidered. -- [[User:Manticore|<b><span style="color: black">Manticore</span></b>]] File:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25  [[User talk:Manticore|<sup><span style="color: black">Talk</span></sup>]]<sup> | </sup>[[Special:Contributions/Manticore|<sup><span style="color: black">CSV</span></sup>]] 08:11, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Honestly I disagree with your past statement, Wookipedia is the most succesful Wiki, and it would be a good idea to follow suit.--[[User:JohnSpartan117]] 22:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

==Protecting pages==
Hiya there. :)

I've been browsing the [[Special:Log/protect|protection log]] and I've noticed an unusual amount of pages being protected for no good reason. [[wikia:Protection|Wikia's protection policy]] clearly states what pages could be protected and for what reasons. I see no reason to have the main page protected, as this is not so big Wikia that it'd have vandals like once a day or such (but I can understand why is Wookieepedia's main page protected). It is a good mandatory to protect policy pages, such as privacy policy or general disclaimer, that's a good thing to do. :) It's just that I don't see a reason to protect administrators' userpages, as it takes one click to press the rollback button or [[User talk:Ed/Year1|user talk archives]], as most users generally realize not to edit archive pages, especially if the page has an archive header or such. I'd advice all [[Special:Listusers/sysop|admins]] to read [[wikia:Protection|Wikia's protection policy]].

Also, there's no need to protect vandals user/talk pages, unless they start spamming. So, I'd suggest to [[Special:Whatlinkshere/User:PENI.S|remove these links that appear on that list]] and delete the user and talk pages. Remember, ignoring the vandals is the best way of getting rid of them. :) --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|Contact]])</sub> 12:34, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

:I haven't read the whole list yet, but it makes sense that the main page be protected. I was actually suprised when visiting some new wiki's that they weren't protected. -- [[User:Manticore|<b><span style="color: black">Manticore</span></b>]] File:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25  [[User talk:Manticore|<sup><span style="color: black">Talk</span></sup>]]<sup> | </sup>[[Special:Contributions/Manticore|<sup><span style="color: black">CSV</span></sup>]] 13:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

::Actually, Wikia '''''strongly''''' discourages the protection of Main Pages unless there is a good reason to do so (I.e. excessive vandalism targeting it). In fact, it is strongly frowned upon if the first thing that happens after the creation of a wiki is the protection of its Main Page. Newcomers may get discouraged from editing if the first page they see is protected with "view source". Also, just because a page is the Main Page doesn't mean it should be protected. There may be pages that get more/close to the number of views than that of the Main Page. Please see [[Wikia:Protection]] and [[Wikia:Help:Main Page]] for details.<strong>&nbsp;[[User:GHe|<font color="blue">G</font>]].[[User talk:GHe|<font color="#666666">He</font><sub><font color="midnightblue">(Talk!)</font></sub>]]</strong> 17:57, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

This wiki, has had almost no vandalism on the Main Page. The Main Page is like any other page. It just happens that it's the first page that you see. Thus it really shouldn't be blocked from editing.

Another thing, I have generally been for protecting userpages and talk archives because I feel there really is no need for others to be changing them. A user's userpage is their own business and no one elses, and not a part of Halopedia. I wouldn't have a problem if everyone's uerpage was protected from everyone except that one user, but this is not possible. Halopedia has a clear list of articles for public editing, userpages are not among them. In general, the only significant changes made to other people's userpages are made by vandals. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]<sub>([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sub><sup>[http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Halo:_Shock_Front<font color="000000">(shockfront)]</font></sup></b> 16:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I have an '''opinion''' of what I think would make the voting easier and the HOM page more organized. You make a poll and vote from that. And under the poll is a section that says ''Reasons''.

:I'm pretty sure anonymous IP users can vote in polls, which means any user could log out and utilise multiple machines to vote for themselves. In any case, the current method is adequate.

== Image Renaming ==

A TON of the images here have crappy names... this is part of my reasoning for being admin, so I can delete and reupload under a better name, but anyway, since I can't do that, one or some or all of the admins need to rename images according to some guidelines which I guess I'll lay down here. Just going through Category:Elite Screenshots, you can see the monstrous names that have been given to images, so this is really a major issue. I think images should be named to reflect what they're depicting in an orderly fashion, so any picture of a Minor Elite would be MinorElite1.jpg, the next picture an admin runs across would be MinorElite2.jpg, etc., and the same for any other kind of screenshot. Of course, they wouldn't all be jpgs (that would be nice, and I would always take the time to convert them, but it isn't absolutely necessary), but there should still be only one MinorElite1.whatever, regardless of extension, and all that.... Whaddya think?

Order is as follows: Fall of Reach, The Flood, First Strike, Ghosts of Onyx.

:Haha LOL theres [[2552]] articles!


I have yet to see every change made but I think the background is a horrendous idea... First, the background it distracting. Non-scrolling background give pages a disconnected feel not to mention the annoyance of never seeing the whole image... Second, the background is not relevant to every page. Many halo fans don't like the game so much as they enjoy the novels and this wiki previously seemed to support this what with most of the pages detailing the storyline rather then strategy... Lastly, the non-scrolling image background give the wiki, or any site for that matter, an unprofessional feel. This feels more like some adolescent's personal fan site now rather then what it is... I propose the background be returned to what it previously was... -[[user:Havanacus|Havanacus]]

== Adjutant Reflux solution! ==

I was thinking on the whole AR issue with the viral marketing and I thought it was possible the assailant could be Guilty Spark 343. Also, it might be Pentinet Tangent 2401 under the control of the Gravemind. On the other hand, I feel that the SOTA is planted. I have a feeling that Bungie has planted the website and the protestors that handed out the flyers. No one has heard of them before the whole viral marketing began, plus why are they now just starting to come out about their assumptions? Something about the SOTA isn't making sense.

-ST1CKMAN 2010

== Hmm.... ==

I think i am on to something concerning the SOTA and the glyphs.  Notice how on the SOTA website it shows a picture of stonehenge.  take a picture of the forerunner glyph and compare the two.  I am not sure on the exact connection but i am positive there is some connection.  If you google "stonehenge summer solstice" then it will show an image that looks similar to the glyph, and the timer website was supposedly counting down to the summer solstice 2007 origially.
