Want to help out and make this site a better place? Here are a list of tasks that need to be done.

Halopedia Image Gallery
Just thinking that to really improve the space we need some more graphics like they have at Wookieepedia. A Halopedia Image Gallery has been created and I hope everyone can show off their Photoshop skills.

Think you know everything?
So think you know everything about the Halo universe? Well then you can help clear up Heretic lies from Gospel truth! These articles need proof!!  Please add sources or confirm that they are in fact lies told by the unbelievers! Some examples:


 * What is a Kelorist? See the Reference here Mamore
 * Is CVS-class a real class of Covenant ship? Discuss here

Did you know?
We should also do a "Did you know?"--JohnSpartan117 01:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, like "Did you know that ...." Just to help your point. --ah2190 07:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Showers?
Supposedly this is a gametype like Slayer or Oddball but I can't find any info on it. Anybody know what the Showers gametype is? -- Yamanba 01:51, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I haven't heard of it. --Dragonclaws 02:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I've seen mention of it on various sites like Halowiki.net or halo.neoseeker.com but I've never actually seen the game rules described. -- Esemono 00:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well I don't really like the multyplayer things that arn't my bro. I'm more of a cheating on campain an killing Regret in afew seconds AND NEVER DIE, HA HA HA. -- Leckgolo43423:10, 9 November 2006 (edit)

Halopedia Clan

 * Anyone interested in a Halo 2 clan for Halopedia, please post your gamertag. --Dragonclaws 08:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I do as im told, Climax Void --Climax Viod 12:15, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * SWAHSparatn117--JohnSpartan117 15:11, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * It said that gamertag doesn't exist, so I sent an invite to SWAHSpartan117 instead. I hope that's you. --Dragonclaws 22:52, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


 * It says it is on his user page, im surprised more people arnt interested in this Clan ---Climax Viod 14:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * If anyone is interested in sending me an invite to the halopedia clan, I'd be most gracious. Gamertage-TayTayTheSarge [Love-A friend of a friend] -- User:CaptainAdamGraves 00:03, 11 November 2006

Covanant diet

 * Okey what we do know is that grunts drink from a device called a food nipple. I think we should expand that like if the birds and doberman guaters are food, the dietary habits of different covanant races, and if each one is a herbavore, omnivore, or carnivore, maybe even feeders.


 * Carnivore Races: Brutes, Jackals, possably elites(please expand) Keelbugs(maybe)...
 * Herbavore Races: Drones(maybe), Elites(possible), Keelbugs(maybe), possably prophets...
 * Omnivore Races: Elites(possible since they're human equauls), possibly Prophets...
 * Feeder/fed(feeders means like feeding of something and fed meens something feeds them) Races: Hunters(probably fed since they're worms), Engineers(possibley feeders and feed themselvs), Grunts(confermed fed)(possably also feeders), Prophets are probably fed like kings...
 * Animals seen that could be food: Halo dinosours, birds, doberman guater, blind wolf, fish, bugs...
 * Plants: The plants in High Charity, possably some on the halos...


 * So please, please add what ever you find out about what different races of th covanant. Possible places to find things halo Graphic Novel and maybe other novels and the thersty grunt. -- leckgolo434 email me about if you've added anything to this article.


 * Well, its all speculation, which is something Halopedia tries to avoid. All we know is that Grunts eat some kind of processed paste, and prisoners are sometimes executed by being fed to Brutes or Jackals. Keelbugs and Doberman Gators are non-canon. --Dragonclaws 03:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed its all speculation!  This type of material should go on a fan site! -- 05:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah this is like that fanfiction that someone made up about the Ranking system in the Halo Universe. Speculation shouldn't be allowed. -- Yamanba 01:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Mombasa Times

 * Extra, extra we should create a weekly newspaper for Halopedia website! What I think is that Halo pedia should make either a weekly or monthly didgital newspaper about everything new about the halo univers, for example new vehicles, weapons, and action figures. This paper should everything new to the franchice.-- Leckgolo434
 * Thats fine and dandy but there are about a million other News sites just for Halo that get their info about 100 times faster than we do. We should focus on providing a Halo encylodia of all things in the Halo Universe.  However, if you want to start a newspaper go ahead and create a new page and roll off the presses.  Even newbies can make new pages AND upload images -- 05:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * What if it comes Monthly or can have different parts of the paper by different people.Like some people do the Main Article, some do the gaming(wich is kindof like sports exept gaming), some would illistrate, and hey! There could even be funnies.  How about if it can be picked up and be put in a users image thing, whatever it's calld.  So that they can read ut whenever. -- Leckgolo434 23:24, 9 November 2006
 * Well the image files do need descriptions of where they where taken i.e. what level, what's in the image, etc... Thats very big of you to Volunteer to do all this! -- Yamanba 01:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually I'm not that good with computer articles it was an idia but maybe I can come up with some idias. It's why I got out of comp. lit. Besides I din't really know much about creating them. Yeah halo funnies would be cool, like Master Cheufs bad day. -- Leckgolo434 22:37, 10 November 2006

Heres an example of haow it works: Headline.

Word, word bla bla bla not any thing I can think of for an article. So on and so on...

Gameing: Our top story on gaming this month is people are playing this more than this(or something like that) Put graph here>

Comic strip: Put funnies here>

So it could go something like that ok. So maybe somone could do something like that exept have actual articles and stuff.


 * That's great I can't wait to see the good job you do with this Newspaper! -- Esemono 12:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

IStrateigic Board
We should have an article where players tell the best ways to beat levels and mod maps. -- Leckgolo434
 * Isnt that what the Walkthroughs are for on each Level? -- 05:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No I mean like different ways that characters discovered.
 * Huh? You want different ways that game characters are discovered?  What does that mean? -- Yamanba 01:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Woops did I say characters I meant players sorry. What I mean is when players find new ways to do things they talk about it. -- Leckgolo434 02:44, 10 November 2006

Firefox Halopedia Toolbar
It's like the google toolbar --Doomguy0505 07:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Download it at Halopedia:Search Plugin --Doomguy0505 10:54, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * What does it do? -- Esemono 12:30, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Here's a screenshot http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/8198/hpediavj5.th.jpg

Halo Quiz

 * How about if someone puts some kind of quiz about the Halo universe. Also how about when someone fails it has the mark of shame and when they ace it, it has the Marathon badge that Capton Keys wore.
 * I'm thinking that's not practical on a site where people can look up all the answers. --Dragonclaws 22:25, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah I guess your right. Maybe a quiz where you fill in some answers and it tells what character you are. Like if you have attitude you could be Sgt. Johnson. Or if you're smart, you're Cortana. -- Leckgolo434 22:41, 9 November 2006
 * Please add to this... -- Leckgolo434 02:38, 10 November 2006

Trick Talk'en
How about something with discussions about tricks and things like that.
 * Well, we do have a Forum. The wiki itself should only be a collection of information. --Dragonclaws 00:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Also there is already a whole category on Category:Tricks and Cheats and more spefically there is the Category:Advanced Skills and Category:Glitches. There is even a page that I think you'd like Have no skills?  Suck at Halo?  You can win by Cheating!--Yamanba 01:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hay, I don't suck, I mean for other people. Just to let you know I've goten from the armory to the Tarteras Fight in less then 30 minutes, without dieing. Even though I cheat. But still I'm good. Also thats on Legiondary where I did that various times. -- 22:11, 10 November 2006 (edit)

Halowood Videos
How about a video index of all videos you have? So, how do you like the name. -- User talk:Leckgolo43422:28, 10 November 2006
 * You mean like the Videos and Cutscenes Category? -- Esemono 08:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No I mean, well yeah I guess but how about if people can put their own videos in there. And what if it has all the trailers like how video stores have demos.
 * We can't store video on Halopedia but we do already have articles on the Halo trailers, i.e. Halo 3 Announcement Trailer or the Halo Wars Announcement Trailer -- Esemono 08:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Halopedia Hyper Library

 * And how about a library of all the hyperlinks to the Halopedia articles.(not the library on the installations)
 * Which articles? Isn't there already a special page in the wiki for this? --Doomguy0505 02:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, what do you mean? There are already Halopedia Media Mentions for articles that mention Halopedia... -- Esemono 08:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Special:Allpages links to every article in Halopedia. -- Dragonclaws 08:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Arcadia
What about an arcade(I'm sure someone has a better name than I put)
 * You mean a collection of online games like pac-man and stuff? That's really not our purpose. --Dragonclaws 20:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I dedinitely agree with Dragonclaws.--JohnSpartan117 22:42, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I mean things like mini-games like CTF or Shooting gallery --
 * We already have articles on CTF and other MultiPlayer Games Oh and please sign your responses by putting four of these things after your post! ~ --Esemono 14:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No not articles, mini-games kinda like that sonic the hedgehog thing on a computer. I already said mini games!
 * Halopedia isn't the place for sonic the hedgehog games.  Even if there was a game, that was Halo releated Halopedia wouldn't be able to have it on this webpage.   But if you want to go play games we do have articles on some fan Halo games like, Halo Zero or Halo: Blood Covenant.  As your Halo skills are so lacking don't fret I'm sure you'll be able to find LOTS of way to cheat in those games too!  PS Why are you afraid to sign your edits?   Ashamed people will know you're a cheater? -- Yamanba 22:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Try Halo Movie Online it's a Halo message board with an arcade. --Dragonclaws 22:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

No stupid I didn't say put that in there. Read this, IT WAS AN EXAMPLE!!! OKAY, YOU GOT THAT? Also I don't know how to sign them, do I just put by Lekgolo434 or what here Lekgolo434

Halopedia Sound Center
Hey, why dosn't anyone make a place where you can here sounds. Ex. Gravemind reversed reveresed message(I perposely put that second reversed), the Jackals diologue reversed back into Sargant Johnsons words and back into Jackal, Elite Wort Wort Wort back into G Go Go, the sounds weapons make...
 * Sounds can be added to their apropriate articles. For instance, in Reversed Message, we have [[Media:Reversed_message.ogg|Reversed_message.ogg]]. --Dragonclaws 20:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, really, I didn't know. But I want to listen to it on Windows Media Player --
 * Halopedia can't handle Windows Media files, only .ogg files. -- Esemono 14:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Information on playing Ogg --Dragonclaws 20:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Where is the Plasma Mortar Article?

 * I think the covanant weapons page needs to be updated with a plasma mortar article like the one I created but that was deleted. --

Why no augmentations mentioned on the Spartan One Page?

 * The Orion Project page dosn't talk about the augmentations that the Spartan 1's had--

Reversed Dialogue

 * Reversed Dialogue - Jackals, Elites, and Gravemind should have their reversed diologue added either on their pages or a new "Reversed Dialouge" page if someone has a way on their computer.

Add to the trivia!
Did you know the merines in the Halo 2 demo trailer say the same phrases as in metropolis. Why isn't this added anywhere?

Pronunciation
I think hard to pronounce words should have how to pronounce words should have how to pronounce them in parenthisese. Ex. merine(mar-een) I can pronounce that but not sharquoi, only type it.
