Ads being covered on the Main Page
On smaller resolutions the current version of the main page table covers the ads, due to the poll box and the featured image being in two side-by-side tables. This is a bad thing (tm). Some suggestions for making the table more dynamic:
 * Don't use a globally wrapping table, a div would be contstrained (in most browsers) by the content div.
 * Split the columns a bit more into their own separate tables. A table looks nice, but doesn't allow content to find its natural parting.
 * Try to align inflexible content, such as the poll and the image. This would allow the opposing column, in extremely small browsers or resolutions, to squeeze to the width of the widest word (worst case).

Question About Userboxes
Are we allowed to use userboxes from other wikis on our user pages?--Ketchup 01:46, 13 February 2007 (UTC)


 * They are free by definition, but they will most probably not work, as the code is stored on their Wiki's server, not ours. You could create the userbox to use on Halopedia, but it's best to do so on a subpage of your userpage if it's not related to Halo. --  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] TalkundefinedCSV 02:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Can we create our own custom userboxes? if so then how? -Spartan G-23

Halopedia Presentation

 * Do you think we can change the presentation of the Halopedia Main Page, it seems to have bits of information placed everywhere and doesn't look that great compared to other wikia's such as Wookiepedia. Could we also perhaps consider changing the font.

"Auto-ranking" Spartans
OK I'm really frustrated by this. Nearly every Spartan page whose rank has not been specifically mentioned is listed as a Petty Officer Second Class. Yes, I know all the SPARTAN-IIs were promoted to this rank upon "graduation", but that doesn't mean that was the same for every SPARTAN-III (I know some have been mentioned as PO2's though). It definitely doesn't make sense that Gamma Company SPARTAN-IIIs (who are still in training!) are listed as PO2. They haven't "graduated" yet!!! I think we need to make a page to list references for Spartan characters' ranks, and then list the others without references as unknown. Does anyone agree with me on this? Is anyone else irritated? --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 13:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Gamma company graduated. That is why they left Onyx. Those that remained there were just competing for top team. -ED 20:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ohh yeah! Well now I just sound kinda crazy. But if you check out SPARTAN-G099 you'll see a reference to him being called Private. Anyways it wasn't just Gamma Company. --  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] TalkundefinedCSV 02:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * They did graduate, but no reference was made to them graduating to the rank of PO2, as with the SPARTAN-IIs. Theres no reference to any other classes of Spartans graduating to this rank either (even if SPARTAN-IIIs hold the rank, they may have been promoted to it following years of service). --  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] TalkundefinedCSV 07:21, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Regarding DYK...
I don't really like having the big long list there... I'd rather it just displays one random thing from a list, sorta like this, and then anyone can add something to the list, and it'll just display one random thing from the entire list. Whaddya think?  guesty - persony - thingy  I too am an AI... my owner's name is Supreme Honcho. 04:24, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that makes sense. --Dragonclaws(talk) 04:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. -ED 20:14, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * GPT, that Idea is amazing. In fact, I am going to impliment it right now. -ED 02:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah that's a good idea, but it should have 4 items, not 2. With 2 it looks bare, and it also is unbalanced on the Main Page. --  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] TalkundefinedCSV 03:07, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Improvement Drive?
When I visited the page for the selection of the next improvement drive, I noticed that it is VERY unorganized. Personally I think that we should set it up like the featured article and stuff, with the nice, organized voting. That way we will be able to tell fairly which improvement drive is next. Also we should have a page that stating everything that needs to be accomplished before a section is considered good, and you can check off what has been finished. I think that will make our improvement drives more effective. Whad does everybody else think? Raging Phantom 19:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * There's never really been a lot of demand for the drive, its sort of fallen my the wayside lately. If you would like to imprive it, feel free. -ED 18:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I have changed the voting page. Please note that I erased all nominations from before 2007, so if you had an idea before 2007 and want to have it nominated, you will have to do it again. sha dow in the pri sm 19:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Ranking
Do you guys know how featured articles have a Legendary picture in the very top-right corner? Why not expand that, where stubs gets an Easy symbol, good articles get a Normal image, and great articles get a Heroic image? Respect them Grunts, Mouse Squeak to me. The mouse's work.
 * We would have to make some pretty extensive criteria for that. Right now, the symbol just represents FA status, just like the master chief helmet in the corner of admin's unserpages represent admin status. -ED 01:34, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

If anyone wants to do it, I have an idea for how that might be structured. --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 00:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Featured articles - Legendary icon
 * Nominated to be featured articles - Heroic
 * Stubs - Easy
 * Not sure what Normal would be for, it'd be stupid to have it on every other page.

IDEA
I just had the best idea in the jole wiki of halo!! HAloepedia could have 3 different political parties kinda. Each admit would be kinda in charge. it might be the differnt friend groups maybe or somthing. like the one id be in would have Caboose, climax, digipatd, josh-29, Terror, Forerunner, maybe rot and more. we'd have dragonclaws as our admit repersentive maybe. and we have a vote every month or 3 or something. That would be really cool and would bring users together. It would be great. maybe for the fan art thing. the 3 admits and one elected person from each there parties would have a set on in it. or something. It could be used for alot. we could have more userboxs more new users would feel involed and alot of other stuff. it would defenitly bring a new kinda order to halopedia that no other wiki's have ever known! What do you all think?-- Lieutenant   Colonel   ryan  n  green  day 19:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * This is a great idea, instead of have one person controlling everything, we could have 3 parties that debate and discuss things about Halopedia.-- Joshua 029 19:46, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It sounds kind of weird to make it into a republic when this sort of communist system works already. Frankly, it sounds better suited to a MUD than a wiki. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 20:45, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I have no idea what the purpose of the three parties would be from that description. I don't think we need to start a whole new project merely so there can be a userbox put on people's pages either. --  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] TalkundefinedCSV 00:11, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Isnt' this what the Covenant of Halopedia is? -- Esemono 01:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Esemono is correct. This is the Covenant of Halopedia. It is a very intriguing idea, but I don't think it would work in practical terms. =D Cheers, Gho st I nsi de the M ach ine ''(Whisper through the Storm ) (My Journeys ) (<font color="#808080">Omens ) 14:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Plus, Halopedia still "officially" has at least four admins. If Seethroo ever comes back, he will get his status back, too. -ED 01:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Why should he get his status back after such a long period of inactivity? Wouldn't it be a better plan to vote for a new admin? Someone who is regularly active and is a pillar of the Halopedia community? My personal vote would go with RR or GPT <font color="Q2Q2Q2">sha <font color="#545454">dow <font color="#848484">in <font color="#999999">the <font color="#A3A3A3">pri <font color="D6D6D6">sm 19:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

GPT's only been here a few months, no matter how much he's contributed in that time. Seethroo was the creator of the site that eventually became this wiki (I think that's a fair explanation of what happened, see Halopedia:History for more info), so he should get admin status as a courtesy if he returns. --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 04:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, with the three inactive admins, Buz left Halopedia soon after it was created. AgentSeethroo created the site and disappeared when he was reassigned (He's in the US Air Force) during the move from old.halopedia to new.halopedia. Steve (Porplemontage) is still around, he answers questions and takes care of the occasional technical problems. Of the three, only Buz wouldn't get his admin status back, in my opinion. -ED 22:04, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Halopl
somebody is making a polish halopedia. (please note:I cannot read write or even understand polish so don't look at me)

today
what if we added a part of the main page where we say, 'in this day in halo history...', or something like that? i got the idea from another wiki i saw, so it might be plagerizing, but what do you think? although it might have to be something kinda different, since there aren't many specific days mentioned in the Halo universe.

If there are enough dates relating to Halo, I might be able to throw something together for that and shove it in DYK.

I think in i know of a vandal crisis
i think i no how signed users votes become unsigned votes... Well,you know that you go on history section of pages, well go on the User of the Month's history page. click on the 'Revision made at __:__ on the__ of __ 2007. it probably got edited by someone, when not logged in. and then re-saved it that way it would show that the newer edits didn't happed the way they did. I've heared it all the time on wikipedia I would like to point out that it possibly would have been cira 19:00 US Eastern time. i was asleep so that would rule me out (that would be 4 in the morning where i am) I advise u (I.e Dragonclaws Esemono, possibly Ed aswell) to put its history page on 'lookout' mode (i.e. stopping unsigned and ordinar users from editing it, or putting it on your watch list) 'I solve the puzzles' -- 15:40 15/3/07

I suggest that higher ranking users should keep the page on their watchlist incase of a VANDAL CRISIS!!!


 * What are you blubbering about? BSP and EvilWays's votes were both from the same IP address, and, because they were from an IP, they were not logged idn. Because of that, they don't count. And RamblerMan hasn't even touched that page, at least not since January 4, since that's as far back as I looked. Linky to revision, mb? 24.251.125.185 20:15, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

UNSC Personnel Template?
I was thinking that UNSC personnel could use a template for basic facts to be displayed on the character pages. Unfortunatly, while I've found success editting existing templates, I have no idea how to start one from scratch. If anyone is interested in creating one, I'd be glad to start filling them in.

 * I think we do have one...-ED 21:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Really? I looked... Chickenman 21:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Template:Human Character Infobox is what we use for all human characters. -ED 22:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. Chickenman 22:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

WHY ARENT THEY MADE YET!
Why aren't Pirates, Black Market Trader articles created yet????? I'd make them myself but unfortunantly I dont know much of them =[. Maybe someone who knows of these should create a article? --Spartan 1 1 7 23:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Maybe there isn't that much about them, which would be why you don't know much of them, and there are no articles. -Chickenman 00:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * If any information on them is brought up, an article should be created, yes. You can start them yourself. -ED 22:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There mentioned in the fall of reach but no real info is told. So..., I guess your right. The Se7ens   Haunt Me

Links on main page
I think the, The Halo Games, section should be cleaned up, something like this maybe.

The Games
This is why you're really here, right? Here's the meat and potatoes of the Halo Universe.


 * Halo: Combat Evolved
 * Halo Computer Edition
 * Halo: Custom Edition
 * Halo 2
 * Halo 2 Vista
 * Halo 3
 * Halo Wars
 * Unidentified Halo Project

Miscellaneous Information

 * Halo: Combat Evolved Cinematic Cutscenes
 * Halo 2 Cinematic Cutscenes
 * Glitches and Tricks
 * Halo 2 Skulls
 * Walkthroughs

AlphaPrime 22:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The game links have been realigned in this way. -ED 22:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Halo Glitches and Tricks, and Halo 2 Glitches and Tricks link to the same page. And the walkthroughs aren't just for Halo 1. AlphaPrime 03:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Reorganize the main page
It's probibly just me, but doesn't it seem to make more sense to put the current events, featured article, did you know, featured quote, halopedian of the month, featured picture, and the improvement drive underneath publicity section. Most people new to halopedia are looking for halo information, not halopedian of the month and the current events of the halopedian community. And the other things I mentioned don't get updated enough to really be more important than "Inside the Halo Universe" the "Halo Games" and the other sections that are currently near the bottom. --66.172.209.116 04:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree --207.28.99.145 14:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll try and format it. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 16:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Um, I'm going to try and sum up the changes to the main page in a word. Here it is: Ouch Sorry ED but it looks awful, I suggest reverting it to the way it was, or trying a different design, because that one just doesn't do it. <font color="redrrdgfdtpifhghg658776543230997hygfdd654nbnb">OAR <font color="#QPWOEIRUTYAHSJDKFLLZMXNCBVGFTR">LOCK 18:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The old way didn't look good either, the top of the page was cluttered with colorful templates and the REAL info (the reason why we are here) was pushed to the bottom. If you have a better suggestion to the Main Page design, feel free to suggest it. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 21:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm going to be gone for a week, but I do have an idea for the main page, just don't have enough time to give it to you right now. I'll be back on tuesday.

 * Aslo, if anyone else has a suggestion, feel free to post it here, the design doesn't really matter to me. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 16:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Its growing on me, I've decided it looks fine, just a bit of a shock at first. <font color="redrrdgfdtpifhghg658776543230997hygfdd654nbnb">OAR <font color="#QPWOEIRUTYAHSJDKFLLZMXNCBVGFTR">LOCK 16:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Halopedia Warz
Can someone state the next Halopedia Warz game on the front page or on my discussion page? cuz I really,really want to join this! :D-SPARTAN-410 04:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Message one of the members of Halopedia Warz, they'll likely be glad to get on one. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 00:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

MainPage Characters.
Shouldn't Covenant Seperatist be in the characters catalog on the main page. If the UNSC is and forerunner are they should too, right?
 * The Heretics do have their own section on the Characters page...its just that there is only one character for them. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 00:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Main Page Poll?
What about a Poll of the month? eg; did you get invited the Halo 3 Beta? or something along those lines? -- SpecOps306 20:34, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

let's have a poll--

should we have a poll on the main page? The  Lieutenant   General  20:41, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes
 * No


 * The last time we put up a poll, a Wikia admin took it down because it did something funky with the javascript and blocked the Google ads for those who use low resolutions. -- Dragon<font color="FF0000">c laws ( talk ) 21:20, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
