Logo Contest
Just thinking that to really improve the space we need some more graphics like they have at Wookieepedia. I've created a Logo Contest page and I hope everyone can show off their Photoshop skills.

Featured Article!
We should have one! All the cool wikia's are doing it...along with Wikipedia.--JohnSpartan117 01:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, AgentSeethroo was planning to do something like that. --Dragonclaws 01:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * And look at this! We are in the Wikia Spotlight! --ah2190 07:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

We should also do a "Did you know?"--JohnSpartan117 01:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, like "Did you know that ...." Just to help your point. --ah2190 07:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

So....can someone make the template for it?--JohnSpartan117 06:22, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * We should probably first decide how to rank articles as featured. What should be the qualifications? --Dragonclaws 00:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm....they should be no speculative. Not Disputed. Have good pictures. Has all the information needed. Thats all I can think of.--JohnSpartan117 01:05, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. We could mark articles as potential canidates, and have discussions to make sure everyone agrees it's up to par. Sound good? --Dragonclaws 01:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Like this, Template talk:FeaturedArticle? -- Esemono 11:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Think you know everything?
So think you know everything about the Halo universe? Well then you can help clear up Heretic lies from Gospel truth! These articles need proof!!  Please add sources or confirm that they are in fact lies told by the unbelievers! Some examples:


 * What is the UNSC Rank system? Discuss here
 * Is CVS-class a real class of Covenant ship? Discuss here

RealWorld Ranks
Correct me if I'm wrong but Halopedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, right? That is the official policy right? Has Ed changed it without updating the Policy page? Why then has Halopedia been turned into a collection of info about American Ranks? Climax Viod has proven that the American Ranking system is NOT part of the Halopedia Universe by adding the Realworld Template to all the Ranks. The only time that template is added is when it's not part of the Halo Universe. -- Yamanba 23:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

All ranks that aren't mentioned in Halo should be deleted right away! As shown by Climax Viod they are not part of the Halo Universe and Halopedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information about the American Military -- Yamanba 23:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * How did Climax Void prove anything? All he did was mistakefully put the Real World Template on the article, it dosnt prove anything but his own naiveness. -- JohnSpartan117 23:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * NAIVENESS !!!!!!! I was helping Ryan, my idea is that all non mentioned ranks should have there contents removed and replaced with {This Rank has not yet been mentioned in the Halo Universe} make a template for it or something. I put the Real world template there because the ranks scheme is from the REAL WORLD --Climax Viod 11:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I must of been high at the time I said that. I apoligize Climax.--JohnSpartan117 23:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

In any case, just because a user edits a page to say something, it doesn't mean that's the truth. There used to be a vandal here who would constantly change the Covenant Dropship article to say it was officially called the "Apparition" confirmed by Bungie, but that didn't make it the case. I once mistakenly said that Grunts can use beam rifles, but that also was not true (even though I thought it was at the time). Also remember that humans are always fallible. --Dragonclaws 16:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Letter To Bungie!
Help us write our letter to Bungie to ask about the Controversial ranks. --JohnSpartan117 05:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Showers?
Supposedly this is a gametype like Slayer or Oddball but I can't find any info on it. Anybody know what the Showers gametype is? -- Yamanba 01:51, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I haven't heard of it. --Dragonclaws 02:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Eridanus System
There is a page Eridanus system, which is a stub, as well as Eridanus Star System, which redirects to Epsilon Eridani System. Are they the same, or is this a mistake? --Dragonclaws 22:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Eridanus and Epsilon Eradini are two different systems. Eridanus system contains Eridanus II, Epsilon Eradini contains Reach. I'd say the redirect was accidental or mistaken. -ED 02:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. --Dragonclaws 02:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Article counter?
Does anyone have any idea why our article counter went from 1050 pages yesterday to 1675 pages today, with virtually no new pages in between? I'm also curious as to how wikia gained 10,000 new user accounts in that time as well. -ED 02:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I thought that was really weird. Perhaps it has begun counting redirects? --Dragonclaws 02:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * We had that problem with the old wikipedia. Must be something with the wiki programming. That's a problem for our creditibility, counting 500 pages that don't exist. -ED 02:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well the stats page always listed the article count with a higher number. Maybe they are using that number now?  It says on that page that there are about 1600 pages with Articles that contain at least one internal link and 200 characters readable text, disregarding wiki- and html codes, hidden links, etc.; also headers do not count. In anycase Angela should know why the number jumped. -- Yamanba 03:33, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
