Should we rename this page to "'''The''' Banished", since the "The" is almost always capitalized? -- [[User:Topal the Pilot|'''Topal the Pilot''']] [[File:Blueteam.png|20px]] <small>([[User talk:Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Talk'''</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Contribs'''</span>]])</small> 00:33, 14 June 2016 (EDT) | Should we rename this page to "'''The''' Banished", since the "The" is almost always capitalized? -- [[User:Topal the Pilot|'''Topal the Pilot''']] [[File:Blueteam.png|20px]] <small>([[User talk:Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Talk'''</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Contribs'''</span>]])</small> 00:33, 14 June 2016 (EDT) | ||

It might be a interesting idea to add the name of the logo in some form into the infobox. This idea came from discussions regarding how we could merge the Banished page for Halopedia and Halo Nation better.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 11:34, 16 January 2019 (EST) | It might be a interesting idea to add the name of the logo in some form into the infobox.

==Objection to Banished classification as 'Mercenary'== | |||
The Banished was formed to get out from the yoke of the Covenant, and Atriox and the Banished have a fiercely independant nature and vehemently refuse to work for anyone. So that is why I think their description as a 'Mercenary Organisation' is wrong and should be changed. I know it has been mentioned as such in the Halo Universe, but the definition of a mercenary organisation is an organisation that can be hired by people. The Banished definitely do NOT fall under this description. | |||
While they do preform raids and acts of Piracy, I think labelling them as Pirates is also a misnomer. They do these things not as and end, but as a means to an end. | |||
Due to their relationships and origin with the Covenant, I think referring to them as a Rebel Organisation, Terrorist Organisation or even Splinter Faction would be better suited. | |||
A bit further from the point, but still relevant, is the following observation: Although heavily militarised, the Banished seem to be more of a concept of a State then an actual military. It has a vast military true, but that has to be supported by something. An economy and homebase. | |||
