#{{AID|}} [[: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 <code><nowiki>{{Sountrack|H1}}</nowiki></code> template and so on (see the Sountrack 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 [[:Category:Soundtrack|Soundtrack]] category.

#{{AID|}} A [http://books.simonandschuster.com/Halo-Broken-Circle/John-Shirley/9781476783598#read_an_excerpt preview] of the new ''Halo'' novel, '''''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''''', has been released! Make sure that all information from the excerpt finds its way to our articles. Some of the more significant subjects include:
#{{AID|}} This week's focus and goal is to wrap up content from ''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]'' satisfactorily before ''The Master Chief Collection'' and ''Nightfall'' hit next week (while keeping an eye on news regarding ''The Master Chief Collection''). Ideally the target articles are every single page on the [[Halo: Broken Circle#Appearances|''Halo: Broken Circle'' appearances list]]; however, since it is reasonable to assume not everything in the book can be incorporated in this timespan, the usual rule of thumb about prioritization applies. Some subjects that can be expected to be of importance and require content additions:
##{{AID|}} ''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]'' (plot synopsis)
##{{AID|}} [[San'Shyuum]]
##{{AID|}} [[Sangheili]]
##{{AID|}} [[Great Schism]]
##{{AID|}} [[Ussa 'Xellus]]
##{{AID|}} [[Ussa 'Xellus]]
##{{AID|}} [[Sooln]]
##{{AID|}} [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben]]
##{{AID|}} [[Sangheili]] (historical and cultural information from the novel should be included)
##{{AID|}} [[Sangheili-San'Shyuum war]] (the ongoing anti-Covenant insurrection from the novel should be mentioned in an aftermath section)
##{{AID|}} [[Shield World 0673]]
##{{AID|}} [[Shield World 0673]]
##{{AID|}} [[San'Shyuum-Sangheili War]]
##{{AID|}} [[Ages of Reconciliation]]

##{{AID|}} '''[[Halo: Broken Circle#Appearances|Full list of subjects to update]]'''

#{{AID|}} [[Halo Waypoint]] needs to be updated to reflect the October 14 overhaul
#{{AID|}} [[Halo Waypoint]] needs to be updated to reflect the October 14 overhaul
#{{AID|}} ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'' level article improvement project, part 7: [[Operation F: Hydra|Hydra]]. The following missions need descriptions of the events, mechanics and objectives in the level, in addition to the official story introduction (see [[Mission 1: Assault on CF-32|Assault on CF-32]] or [[Mission 25: Battle for the Moon|Battle for the Moon]] for reference)
##{{AID|}} [[Mission 26: Battle at the Arid Sea]]
##{{AID|}} [[Mission 27: Breach of the Bulwark]]
