Just to inform you again to not go scan-crazy with the book mediums (I noticed you purchased the Art of Halo 3). You should only do so if there is no image of the subject. For example, the File:H4-JanusKey-ScanRender.png|Janus Key as a whole]] is within reasonable grounds to be scanned since it is impossible to obtain an intact image from the cutscenes of Spartan Ops. However, there might be an issue with the File:H4-PrometheanCryptum-ScanRender.png|scanned Cryptum]] since the wiki already has an image of the Cryptum from officially released media. The same goes with the scanned images of the Arbiter, Missile Pod, Cryotube, etc.. etc.. Just another heads up. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  19:44, 16 September 2013 (EDT)

:Yeah, thanks for the heads-up. Some media I had to scan because many users who have the ability to help with certain areas are unable to do so, namely, that they haven't been getting any of my messages, even when they're online, and sometimes simply don't have the time. Sorry I go all stir-crazy with new media. If there's a problem, I can create more image categories, of which I am already planning to do so. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 19:51, 16 September 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330

Right, so that's pretty much it. If you don't want a transparent background in the box, simply change where it says "background-color: transparent;" to "background-color: <--example color here-->;."

::::It is getting harder and harder to avoid your galleries in the images I am currently renaming... can this please by done at some-point during the week? I'd rather not use redirects as it kinda defeats the purpose of the image tidy up. And going through it manually is very unmanageable cause its a swamp of images.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 10:58, 5 September 2018 (EDT)

:(''reset indent'') Then my galleries can be cleared, if only temporarily, maybe (Still thinking on that last part). They probably need to reorganized offline anyway. I would like to know how to make my galleries to be edited by other people. Please tell me you're not messing with the chosen file naming scheme I went with for some of the images I submitted? --[[User:Shazamikaze|<span style="color:black; font-family: Halo3; font-weight:bold; font-size:110%">'''Shazamikaze,'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Patrollers|<span style="color:grey; font-family:skia">''Halopedia Team''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Shazamikaze|<font color="Black">'''Talk'''</font>]]</sup> 11:17, 5 September 2018 (EDT)Shazamikze
::Well the idea was to make all the images have this sorta thing with all images <code>File:<SOURCE OF IMAGE> <DESCRIPTION></code>. What I am planning on doing is making it so all images from a specific piece of Halo media will share the <SOURCE OF IMAGE> which for example all images in Halo 3 will share "H3", Halo 2 "H2", so on. With improving the descriptions of many that are unhelpful. So pretty much a lot of your images "should" be fine. I hardly (Like maybe once or twice if ever) ever conflict on that front with your images you uploaded from the past year that is for sure, but its really a case by case thing.
::A lot of this is groundwork for greater things regardless, like improving categories which sorely need a update in a lot of areas, a huge idea of mine is to make "Game image" categories that house images of a certain game using a bot to add the game category to files that have certain <Source of Image>. This however will need discussed after this lol.
::On a related note: I actually have links to your galleries on the internet archive Favorited (I'll send you a dm of them, I just updated them to todays version, though they are going into my project page so you can find em easily enough regardless) to help improve categories actually once I was done fixing filenames of stuff, your galleries are certainly something I do wish to use in some form. Plus categories allows users (and us admins) to add to them.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 12:15, 5 September 2018 (EDT)
:::I am ready for the wipe now. I hope its cool? I left it this long so you can at least do stuff with it prior but its simply to hard to avoid them now.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 10:52, 21 October 2018 (EDT)
==All the galleries==
They are all still available here.
