Halopedia:Projects/Improvement

Article Improvement Drive is a community project to improve the wiki's content through bringing articles in dire need of improvement—from cleanup to content expansion and updates—to everyone's attention. Ideally, the list will be refreshed with a new set of articles every week as the articles are fixed; however, if given articles on the list have not received the necessary attention by the end of this period, those articles will be kept on the list until they require no further improvement. An article is considered sufficiently repaired when it is properly sourced, accurate, comprehensive and well formatted—in short, up to our general standards of quality.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the improvement effort or suggest new articles to the list on the project's talk page.

Ongoing projects

 * Template:Walkthrough Infobox needs to be added to walkthrough articles lacking it.
 * 1) The list of Forge objects needs to be updated to include all Halo 4-related material, including creation of subpages for each individual category.
 * 2) Many Halo 4 multiplayer map articles need to be expanded with information on map layout, features and gameplay strategies. See Avalanche for reference of a comprehensive map article.
 * 3) Game level transcripts need to be formatted in accordance with the the Layout Guide; for most articles, this means the standardization of the way characters and other subjects are referenced (e.g. omitting superfluous or overly long titles/ranks), as well as the addition of music tracks playing at a given time.
 * 4) Quote pages need to be updated according to the Layout Guide. For example, insignificant lines which are not quotable in any fashion should be removed. In addition, quotes which are part of a dialog between the subject and another character should feature a transcript of the lines of both characters as opposed to only those spoken by the title character. For an example of this in practice, see Forthencho/Quotes.
 * Template:Soundtrack (transcluded in most articles under its old name "Halo music") needs to have a subtemplate specified in articles about individual music tracks; e.g. Halo: Combat Evolved tracks should use the  template and so on (see the Sountrack template for a full list of the subtemplates). In case any of the articles has the parent category "Soundtrack" manually inserted, it should be removed as well along with other possible formatting improvements. You can find these pages by browsing the Soundtrack category.
 * 1) We are in the process of clarifying the nature of the factions that emerged during the Great Schism. The labels "Covenant loyalists" and "Covenant separatists", widely used by the wiki, are inaccurate as the Sangheili were cast out of the High Council and did not secede of their own accord. Thus, other terms should be used to identify the parties involved; examples of acceptable terminology for the so-called "separatists" include "the Sangheili" or "Sangheili-led Covenant", etc. while the opposing side may be identified by their loyalty to the Prophet of Truth, or their military's leadership by the Jiralhanae. The Sangheili aligned with the Arbiter and allied with humanity may be identified with the title "Swords of Sanghelios", although it is better to use the title sparingly in reference to events during the Covenant War, as the name was (seemingly) adopted in the post-war era. Also note that this group does not constitute the entirety of the Sangheili species; the splinter group formed by Xytan 'Jar Wattinree, for example, is considered its own faction, and the majority of the Sangheili were unaligned with any particular group during the first days of the Great Schism.

Week 24 / 2014
It's E3 week, which means that our attention should be focused on making sure our content surrounding the new reveals stays accurate and up to date. Speed is of the essence, but remember that citing sources is more important than ever when adding new information coming from all over the place.

 * Single article edits
 * 1) Sangheili/Gameplay: page needs general cleanup and information from Halo 4 and other recent content
 * 2) Reclaimer Saga: requires "Development" and "Plot" sections to deal with the production background and give a summary of the story/thematic direction of the series, particularly in comparison to the previous games.

This is to be a general, overarching summary and does not need to be as detailed as the sections in the individual game articles.

Week 21 / 2014

Finished projects

 * 1) The appearance lists in game articles need to be updated to match the new standard described HERE. For a reference on this format in practice, see HERE.
 * 2) "Category:Sentinel Screenshots" is to be removed from images and replaced with subcategories of Category:Images of Sentinels. Remember to omit the parent category when using subcategories!
 * Category:Images of Carter-A259, Category:Images of Kat-B320, Category:Images of Jun-A266, Category:Images of Emile-A239, and Category:Images of Jorge-052 should be added to images of the characters in question. As always, remember to categorize other items in the image (e.g. locations, weapons and armor types) and omit parent categories that may be present (e.g. Category:Images of SPARTAN-IIIs) unless said parent categories are applicable to other characters shown in the image (i.e. characters who lack a dedicated image category).
