*{{Support}} – By your command. Halopedia could use a significant facelift and rejuvenation of it's vital organs. It's a dated looking site and modern audiences are interested in aesthetics and usability as much as the meat and bones of a site's content. Furthermore, Halopedia desperately requires more than word of mouth here and there by a ''few'' community members elsewhere. Our social media presence, our new media output, and how we collaborate with the greater fandom is absolutely essential to Halopedia's long-term viability as the premiere online encyclopedia. That'll take shedding and archiving much of the old fluff ancillary to maintaining our content. {{User:Helianthus/Sig}}

Please put any comments or suggestions for this here. I need feedback on ways we can improve each step of this phase. Please remember I have made a overall draft of this [[UserWiki:CIA391#Halopedia_improvement_project|project here]] before you suggest stuff though, as some ideas might be covered in later phases. -[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 13:34, 7 July 2017 (EDT)

::Good idea. I added a new update to this submission also. The possibility of removing old User Profiles pre-dating 2012. This would allow us to tidy out the wiki more effectively. Now its stuff like that, that really need discussing.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 14:33, 7 July 2017 (EDT)
