Beginnings: 2004
Halopedia, originally known simply as "Halo Wiki," began in late 2004 as a project to document the Halo Universe. It quickly attracted a small following of users. Because of the recent creation of Halowiki.net, the wiki's name was changed to "Halopedia," and moved to www.halopedia.org.

The site began to be recognized in early 2006 getting mentions in the press and from Halo's best fan site Halo.Bungie.Org and from Bungie also.

Rocky Upbringing
Halopedia soon became a victim of its own success as it's growing community began to present a major problem for its creators; the site's growing size was producing a bill in excess of 150$ a month for server usage. Throughout May, June, and July, the site would be sporadically down, until it finally went offline for several weeks. Eventually, Halopedia was merged with halo.wikia.com, a formerly rival wiki that did not have the same issues. Despite the panstaking process of having to copy every article from the original Halopedia, the site ultimantely benefitted with several new active users.

Now
Currently, Halopedia continues to grow in anticipation of many new projects planned for the Halo universe, such as the Halo Movie, Halo 3, and Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. Halopedia has become a central place for speculation and discussion of the upcoming productions.

Halopedia has come to be regarded as relatively accurate and reliable among Halo fans, a search of "Halopedia" will produce over six hundred results on Google, many of which are users on various forums and websites citing Halopedia articles as sources of information.
