Fix link
It appears that the link in the left header to "Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Making Worlds" does not work (under books and media; reference). I suggest an admin fix it. pestilence  Phil,  pestilence!  22:36, 21 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Simply change the word "making" to "building" pestilence   Phil,  pestilence!  22:38, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

Hero videos
On waypoint they have a series of videos called Hero. the latest is Hero-Sacrifice. SHouldn't they have pages?--210.56.88.194 10:07, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
 * No other videos from Waypoint have pages,so no.-- 1234fansofHalo 16:11, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Is there a reason why? The Regret documentary has/had a page. It's no different from archiving BWUs.--  Fore  run  ner '' 16:59, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
 * If we were to have a page for this then wouldn't we format it the way Halo Trailer videos are formatted or something like that.-- 1234fansofHalo 17:06, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
 * It should be treated as a trailer with narration - the E3 2007 trailer for Halo 3.--  Fore  run  ner '' 19:25, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

Shouldn't the Waypoint videos have pages? It seems strange not to include them--210.56.91.57 01:00, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

Question
Is it just me or does anybody else have the problem that when they try to go to halo nation they get sent here. 173.51.78.230 19:44, 20 July 2011 (EDT)


 * I'm not seeing it :/ --  Fore  run  ner '' 20:02, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm having the same problem, if i go to halo nation, i also get sent here..HaloReplicas 05:26, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

Q&A
Is there a Q&A on this wiki? I know some gaming wikis have some sort of Question and Answer section (like CoD's "Ask a Veteran") where people can get a direct answer from other users about gameplay facts or such. Bioniclepluslotr 20:38, 28 July 2011 (EDT)


 * We tend to use THIS instead; its easier, quicker, and doesn't require any proper Human interaction.


 * Sometimes human interaction is more reliable. Why do people use Yahoo Answers instead of Google? Bioniclepluslotr  13:02, 30 July 2011 (EDT)


 * Because they don't know the formula to asking a question on Google, i.e. What + your query + ?


 * I find Bioniclepluslotr's suggestion interesting. I feel a Q&A system would improve relations between users and also be a good platform for interesting debates.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 18:36, 30 July 2011 (EDT)


 * We already have plenty of those in the forums and on individual article talk pages.

Close enough?
As 343GS and 2401PT's prefix codes (04 and 05, respectively) match their respective installations' codes, is this a confirmation that the ring under 05-032MB's control was the original Installation 05?--  Fore  run  ner '' 20:58, 28 July 2011 (EDT)


 * This may be true, but it doesn't account for the existance of 2401. Why was he the installation's monitor when Medicant Bias was too? If MB was (at some point) the monitor, that could explain the release of the flood, and the existance of a gravemind on 05's surface. pestilence   Phil,  pestilence!  02:49, 29 July 2011 (EDT)


 * MB was caretaker to one of the original twelve rings and then went rampant. After eleven were destroyed and another severly damaged the Ark built another set. Even if the damaged one was Installation 05 and it was repaired rather than replaced, his rampancy and betrayal would probably be grounds to call for his replacement.--  Fore  run  ner '' 06:27, 29 July 2011 (EDT)


 * I fully agree that Mendicant Bias' Halo was the original Installation 05. Although Cryptum makes it very clear that MB was not a true monitor like Guilty Spark or Penitent Tangent, it was charged with the ring's operation and protection, just like a "real" monitor. Yesterday, I made a note on the 05-032 Mendicant Bias article stating that MB was likely the caretaker of the original Installation 05. I'm certain that Primordium will identify Mendicant's Halo, considering that - as far as we know - it is the setting of the entire novel. --Courage never dies. 08:28, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Mendicant Bias is a different class than Guilty Spark or Penitent Tangent. How are we to know whether the same descriptor rules apply to a Contender-class AI? It may mean something altogether different. --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   07:55, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Magnetic holsters
I've been looking for information about the holsters used on the Mjolnir amor and how it works etc. but have found none. Can anyone point me in the right direction?--210.56.91.101 02:19, 31 July 2011 (EDT)


 * Try the MJOLNIR articles, specifically the articles for the Mark IV, V and VI versions. It should be there. Really, there's not much to say - they're magnetic, and they hold guns in place instead of cumbersome metal, plastic, leather or fabric holsters that can get in the way. --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   07:52, 31 July 2011 (EDT)


 * I checked those pages but couldn't find any mention. I basically just wanted to see if they'd ever provided much detail on them and if it was just contained to the thighs and back or if it could be applied to other areas of the suit--210.56.91.101 12:06, 31 July 2011 (EDT)


 * From the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor page:
 * "Magnetic weapon holder strips: Available on the Mk. IV, Mk. V, and Mk. VI, the magnetic strips are very small yet powerful magnets place on the legs, waist, and back of the suit and is used to hold any equipment with a magnetic property. The suit also contains an electromagnetic system on the boots of the MJOLNIR suit that allow its wearer to stay attached to a metal surface in Zero G environments and can be toggled on or off by the wearer." --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 12:13, 31 July 2011 (EDT)


 * Oh wow, can't believe I missed that. Thanks for the help!--210.56.81.227 22:14, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Colors
What formatting do I use to get colors in my sig? I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night. Vegerot ( talk )  14:12, 5 August 2011 (EDT)!!!


 * Put text, removing the "_", ie; hello . --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   17:24, 5 August 2011 (EDT)

I tried doing that, and it said that it had an, "Invalid raw signature. Check HTML tags" I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night. Vegerot ( talk )  21:36, 6 August 2011 (EDT)!!!


 * Most likely you didn't close the tags properly. Use the following:

Colour
 * Which will create " Colour "
 * For more colours, refer to List of colours.— subtank  22:34, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Let's see... I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night. Vegerot ( talk )  23:06, 6 August 2011 (EDT).

Edit: What the fuck?! I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night. Vegerot ( talk )  23:07, 6 August 2011 (EDT)!

Cut the profanity. A little tinkering will get you there eventually. If need be, open up Microsoft Frontpage, get a signature format you like, then copy-paste the HTML code for it. I did that for a long time while I got the hang of things, figuring out what worked and what didn't. --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   07:53, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

Wait, let's see if this works. Vegerot ( talk )  20:08, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

Yay! I'll keep trying for the colors though. Vegerot ( talk )  20:10, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

Error
In the sidebar, if you look under games, Halo: Glasslands is still known as Ghosts of Onyx 2. An admin should probably change that soon. Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  11:06, 10 August 2011 (EDT)

Halo 3 Vidoc: In The Beginning
I've noticed that this ViDoc for Halo 3 is absent from the wiki. Should it be added?--210.56.81.72 06:41, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

Coding flaw, or my computer?
Go to your message board. Hold your mouse over someone's name on your board until it pops up. Every time I've done this I've gotten the person's name, and then a "}". Is that supposed to be there, or is that a small chunk of garbage in the vast coding of the boards? pestilence  Phil,  pestilence!  18:45, 17 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Well its not just you, but I think its hardly anything to worry over. Hopefully one of the more gifted coding experts can help you out with this one.
 * Meh, it's not a big deal, but I still think it should be fixed. pestilence   Phil,  pestilence!  18:51, 17 August 2011 (EDT)


 * Fixed now; thanks for reporting that. -- 18:57, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Argh! Where is it?
Hey, where is that one article that had a really good discussion about the terminals and how they relate to Halo Cryptum? Not the new one on the terminal page, an older one which I contributed to. Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  23:54, 18 August 2011 (EDT)!


 * You mean this forum?— subtank  00:13, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

No. Something that I contributed to. I've looked everywhere and I can't find it! Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  01:23, 19 August 2011 (EDT)!


 * Then I suggest checking your contribution log. Try to remember when you made the contribution.— subtank  02:10, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

Oh, found it. It was here. You might feel like contributing some, subtank. Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  02:18, 19 August 2011 (EDT)!

Page Format Glitch?
