Titled: Wikia’s self-policing social-media model lures big marketers - Community-driven sites advance beyond kiss and tell with their content, and brands couldn’t be happier
Published: 05/03/2010
Author: Edmund Lee
(article intro includes a screenshot of the Halopedia main page alongside that of Lostpedia)
''But unlike Wikipedia, the areas that sprout up on Wikia tend to focus on entertainment, such as "Lost" or "Harry Potter" or the video game "Halo," as well as lifestyle subjects like recipes and health.''
(...)
''Other brands have found Wikia to be a great research tool when revising or reinventing existing franchises. Halopedia, which is focused on Microsoft's highly popular first-person shooter game "Halo," is perhaps Wikia's most intense and fanatical community, making it fertile ground for market research.''
''"Microsoft wanted to find out what it is about 'Halo' that fans really like," Mr. Huseby said of the gaming publisher's relationship with Wikia; Universal McCann managed the campaign. "Halo has branched off in a number of different directions from its original incarnation, and they were trying to update and evolve the franchise, but they wanted to keep certain core aspects of the game true to what the original fans liked about it." With that in mind, Wikia worked with Universal McCann to talk to the Halopedia community and unearth data on which features were essential to the franchise, such as what kind of weaponry was popular, which characters were important, even which battles and expansion packs were imperative.''
'''''Free media'''''<br />
''"The Halo fans out there are the hardest of the hardcore, and they are the ones that are ravenous about details and characters and lore," said Russell Quinan, senior VP at Universal McCann. "It was a unique opportunity to allow the fans to manage the brand for you."''
''Mr. Quinan said the online media strategy for Halo involves both Facebook and Wikia. "On the Facebook side, it's about creating awareness, and on the Wikia side it's about evangelism -- you need both. And what's great about the evangelists is you're getting a lot of free media. It looks very promising so far."''

''If I had to describe Halopedia, it would be like a domain of information that never ends, and you can dig for hours and find new stuff you never even heard off in the Halo Universe before. Like have you ever heard of the best characters ever – Spock the cat, and Keiichi-047? Everyone is welcome to join Halopedia in numerous ways, from the site itself, to our twitter, to our facebook, and our Discord.''
 
''If I had to say what my favourite parts of Halo fiction was, it would have to be the obscure stuff, the stuff I have to dig to find. Like websites that once held cool lore that are long gone now and translating the Forerunner language. The latter I managed to translate the Halo 4 one by myself.''
 
''Becoming an admin for Halopedia was simply one of the best choices I ever made, opening doors like friendships with several communities and places who also love to learn about the Halo Lore."''

''"While features like the one you are reading are certainly often helpful accompaniments to any Halo fan’s experience the finer points of story and lore, there’s another incredibly important part of the process – YOU. The community itself is a wellspring of passion and dedication, full of folks willing to help crowdsource the collection and curation of the seemingly unending supply of new info and insights. There’s perhaps no better example of that than the dedicated wiki writers who help literally catalogue thousands upon thousands of various elements found within Halo’s canon landscape."''
 
''"Recently, the fine folks over at Halopedia.org announced that they were joining forces with the equally dedicated canon-curious from the “Halo Nation” wiki, combining to make one consolidated source for community-curated canon concerns. We wish the new endeavor the best of luck and encourage interested archivists to check out their site and see how they can get involved with helping keep up with Halo’s ever-expanding universe! Plus, be sure to follow them on Twitter @Halopedia for fun features like their “Lore Thursdays" and make time to check out their brand new forums as well!"''
