I propose moving this article to "Halopedia:Halopedia". I don't think it should be a mainspace article... since it's about Halopedia itself, and not about a Halo character, weapon etc.[[User:JEA13|'''<span style="color:orange;">Μητσάρας</span>''']] [[User talk:JEA13|'''<span style="color:orange;">κι όποιος</span>''']] [[Special:Contributions/JEA13|'''<span style="color:orange;">αντέξει</span>''']] | I propose moving this article to "Halopedia:Halopedia".

Halopedia, however, is a notable real-world Halo thing. For this reason, it would get noted. It's a notable topic, it's about Halo, and it's legitimate. | Halopedia, however, is a notable real-world Halo thing. For this reason, it would get noted.

H:A explains who the administrators on Halopedia are, what they do, and so on. Only Halopedians would care. People who aren't Halopedians wouldn't care about the administrative team. People who are non-Halopedians can very well care about Halopedia, and would have a great chance of wanting to learn about it. | H:A explains who the administrators on Halopedia are, what they do, and so on.

::There's already a Halopedia:Halopedia. It's called Halopedia:About. Also, Halopedia can have an article about itself but you should only have information that you would know from the outside.

:It's already mentioned, in slightly different words: "In 2006, the original host was unable to financially support the wiki, prompting Halopedia to merge with Wikia's Halo Wiki site". FYI, there's a more exhaustive explanation of the history between Halopedia and Halo Nation [[Halopedia:FAQ#Why are there two Halo wikis?|on the FAQ]], though I've been considering making it more accessible since there seems to be a lot of confusion around about it. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:13, 2 June 2016 (EDT) | |||
