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. The list is refreshed periodically with new articles requiring improvement, but previous entries will be kept on the list until those articles have been brought fully up to date. 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.

 * 4) Gao Ministry of Protection

The following pages need to be updated with new information from Halo: Smoke and Shadow:

 * 3) Glassing needs to be updated to include information on "deglassing" and other post-war activities on glassed worlds from Halo 5: Guardians and Hunt the Truth.
 * 4) Planetary warfare still needs considerable work, especially with referencing, which, considering it is a subject which spans the entirety of Halo media, is going to take a lot of work.
 * 5) Halo 2: the development section is severely lacking in its description of the game's development process, particularly the difficulties therein (a good overview of which can be found, for example, in this article)
 * 6) Drugs: the "Humans" section should be expanded with information on e.g. recreational drugs.

Multi-article projects

 * Template:Walkthrough infobox needs to be added to walkthrough articles lacking it.
 * Comic scans with blanked speech bubbles should be updated with the text intact as per this forum.
 * 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.
 * 5) The new notice templates Template:Fanart and Template:Fanwork need to be added to the relevant images. See the more specific usage notes on each template's page.
 * Template:Verbatim should be added to applicable articles and sections.
 * Category:Difficulty icons should be added to applicable images.

Finished multi-page projects

 * 1) The known War Games designations of multiplayer maps are to be moved from the article introduction to the new "Map" field of the Multiplayer Map Infobox. See here for an example of the new format.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) "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).
 * 1) The following dates, still found linked on many pages, need to be revised in accordance with recent updates to the Forerunner-era timeline:
 * 2) 100,000 BCE -> 97,445 BCE
 * 3) 100,950 BCE -> 98,395 BCE
 * 4) 101,000 BCE -> 98,445 BCE
 * 5) 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", formerly used by the wiki and still found on some pages, are inaccurate as the Sangheili only threatened to resign from 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 by their affiliation with the Fleet of Retribution, or Swords of Sanghelios in post-Schism contexts. 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.
 * 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 Soundtrack 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.
