Tucker's Creator here. So I've found myself visiting Tumblr more often than I think I should, and I find that many of the ''Halo'' fans there post up some pretty excellent ''Halo'' .gifs. Gifs of the cutscenes, of the gameplay, of important moments, etc. I noticed so far that we keep gifs relegated to solely the gallery sections of articles, and never in-universe parts.

I think that gifs could be useful in detailing some parts of the articles, especially level and trailer transcripts, since they often have to describe pictures with a thousand words. For some parts, like [http://chieftana.tumblr.com/post/35897437956/time-was-your-ally-human-but-now-it-has the Didact's awakening] in the level [[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]], gifs could be useful in illustrating. On the other hand, on biographies and other descriptions there may be the opinion that they'll look unprofessional there, which I find myself leaning towards. Either way, there are positives and negatives. | I think that gifs could be useful in detailing some parts of the articles, especially level and trailer transcripts, since they often have to describe pictures with a thousand words.
