Streamlining Level Pages
If you were to take a look at our collection of pages that talk on the levels, you'll see a mess. Halo 1 has some pages that have random thoughts on the page like Wizard and Hang 'Em High, and others virtually don't exist, like Prisoner. Halo 2 has a level pages with a bit more content to them, but still vary highly from each other. Relic has a "more info" section on it, as well as a trivia section, while they disappear in Headlong, but a strategy section is added, as well as an opinionated Do and Don't section. Halo 3's beta maps currently share a layout, image, and trivia section, as well as the intro, but they could eventually fall out of sync.

I propose that we create a universal layout, either for all maps or a game by game basis, and enforce it. A new Halopedian should be able to find a level page, and use the level template to surf around our collection of level pages and learn many interesting and helpful facts about them. If you have an idea for a potential section for the layout, post it, and we can discuss to see if it would add content to the page.

For a start, I think that each page should keep the game description at the top, then follow it up with a simple map description, such as "Wizard is a small, symmetrical multiplayer map for Halo 1." The first section could be level layout, then the next could be a strategy section, if it would be possible to keep it unbiased. Then a weapon/vehicle/powerup/equipment placement section could be done, followed by optional trivia/easter egg and glitches sections. Only one image should be included on the page, which would be in the information sidebar. An exception would be for the glitches and trivia sections, if something in those yielded an interesting result (such as the Rooster Teeth vending machines).

However, those are just my suggestions. By all means, add in yours if you want to create some order to the many multiplayer maps we have written about. The community we have here is what makes Halopedia so great, and could make the level pages great, as well.

Spanish
i propose why you don't make a halopedia spanish version? -IP 62.43.32.221 17:43(spanish hour) 23 August 2006

Well, I don't think anyone here knows Spanish well enough to look after the site properly. Does anyone know if it's technically possible at Wikia? -- Dragonclaws 23:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I know enough spanish, but It would take a very long time to translate and don't think it would get a community anyway. - ED 05:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

well i could help whith the spanish thing...cuze i live in venezuela and here all we talk spanish =P...but it may take a long time to translate

Yeah I know much Spanish i can help to translate also. Im with it. Clavix2

I could help translating it... but if the games are in english, how many spanish speakers do u think play? if they dont play halo they probably dont need halopedia, i personally love halopedia =]

you could always go on google tanslate. you could copy and paste chunks of text and it would translate it. just a suggestion C'Sept Rahsimee 16:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Those translation websites are terribly inaccurate. -- Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] Talk 14:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Guys, any Wikia proposals (such as other language Halopedias) should be made at Requests, not here. The Spanish Halopedia was founded in July, if anyone is interested in contributing there. -- Manticore   Talk 14:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Save The Axons!
Anyday now www.Ilovebees.com will be taken down as the game is over and all the wav files that are hosted on the site will be lost! (Quite surprising it hasn't happened already considering it was 2004 when the game ended.)

Therefore it is necessary to upload the files onto our site so that we have a record of the I Love Bees saga! For more info click here

Someone quench the thirst of diagrams!
I am often encountering pages which needs diagrams, and I must say that it seems that I'm the only one doing something. The number of diagram needing articles just keep growing, and I'm getting tired of this. I won't stop though, but it would be nice to see some team members! 20:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

We Need New Pics
I have gone on an editing spree fixing litlle errors and adding new info after contact harvest came out but as a photogropher I see that many pages are lacking pics photos catch the eye and make the pages astetically pleasing. also many of the pics we have are from halo 1 or 2 we need lots of h3 pics for these pics are good for sections of the page talking about the species in that game but for the most part i think we need updated pic so we need to start maby a contest for h3 pics pick a winner and keep all of the submitted photos for use(all doen on-line no real world photos) or anything we can do to get pics we need to update halopedia and soon i talked to a few of my friends who came to halopedia for tips and other things and they say it is a bit out of date and have stopped comming! we need new pics!
