__NOTOC__

== Defining music ==
|l1=Manual of Style Project
"Piece" and "Composition" can generally be used interchangeably - both refer to any musical work, although "piece" usually connotes a less substantial musical work then "composition" does.
|2=HP:MOS
 
|l2=Manual of Style Project on Halopedia's official page
To be a "song", a musical work has to meet two criteria: (1) it must have a component of singing (unless it is referred to as a "song without words", in which case it wouldn't) and (2) it must be relatively short (an opera or a cantata would not be considered a song for this reason, although both of those pieces can be said to contain several songs). Note that a "vocalese" (which is a song without specific words- typically sung to "ah" or "ooh") can be considered a song as well.
}}
 
This project is to improve the quality and readability of all articles in Halopedia. Note that this project is an official guide and should be used for user revision.
[A] song can be a piece or a composition, but not all pieces and compositions are songs.

{{Article Quote|''Notability'''' determines whether a topic merits its own article. Article topics are required to be notable, or "worthy of notice." It is important to note that a notability determination does not necessarily depend on things like fame, importance, or the popularity of a topic—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below.}}
== Project: Meet the team ==
<div class="darker" style="border:1px solid #111; background:#FAFAFA; padding:0 7px;">
'''Objective''': A more welcoming design of the [[Project:Halopedians|Halopedians]], [[Project:Administrators|administrators]], [[Project:Patrollers|patrollers]], and the like. Everything combined under one page, or at least with a good navigation to those pages.
</div>


Thus, in Halopedia, a subjet can only be considered notable and important ''if'' it appears in and/or has any relevance to the Halo Universe. That being said, there are some exceptions to this policy:
<gallery heights="300" perrow="6" mode="packed-overlay">
*If any of these items see sufficient and future growth (at least more than a couple of sentence/a paragraph), they should have a place in Halopedia, linked from the mentioned article via <code>==See Also==</code> section/heading or by using the [[Template:Main|Main Article redirect template]].

===Images/Files===
<!-- Transcluded from Overwiki -->
* Add only [[Project:Canon Policy|canon]] image, not screenshots from customized/tweaked canon games or mods.
* Avoid uploading pictures you don't have a purpose for, unless they can add to a subject gallery. Before uploading, read Help:Images for more information on image use.
===Verb Tense===
<!-- Transcluded from Overwiki -->
It is often difficult to know which tense is most suitable in articles. Below are some guidelines constructed to clarify when to use them.
;Use past tense when referring to specific events that have already run their course in the game's plot. Examples below:
{{col-begin}}
{{col-2}}
;<u>Wrong</u><br />
When Alpha Halo <span style="color: red">'''is'''</span> destroyed, it <span style="color: red">'''emits'''</span> a signal that <span style="color: red">'''places'''</span> all other Forerunner installations in standby mode, including the Sentinels guarding the Shield World located within the artificial world of Onyx. On October 31, 2552, the first of these Sentinels to awaken suddenly <span style="color: red">'''begin'''</span> attacking UNSC forces on or near Onyx. Coincidentally, Gamma Company <span style="color: red">'''is'''</span> participating in the Top Honors exercise at the time.
{{col-2}}

;<u>Right</u><br />

Coincidentally, Gamma Company <span style="color: green">'''was'''</span> participating in the Top Honors exercise at the time.
{{col-end}}
{{col-end}}
----
<!--
;Plot summaries are rare exceptions to this, as they use present tense to maintain the narrative. Chapter summaries summarize a chapter's events in a "this is what happens in this chapter" fashion, as opposed to a "this is what happened in that chapter" fashion. Examples below:

===HaloProject Proposal===
<!-- Based off Wookieepedia's WookieeProject and Wikipedia's WikiProject -->
A HaloProject is a project to better organize information in articles related to Halo, based off the previous Standards Council of Halopedia. The project page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Halopedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list under this paragraph.
 
Below are the following list of HaloProjects:
*Halopedia:HaloProject/Covenant
*Halopedia:HaloProject/UNSC
*Halopedia:HaloProject/Multiplayer
*Halopedia:HaloProject/Campaign <small>Also includes walkthroughs</small>
*Halopedia:HaloProject/Images
*Halopedia:HaloProject/Music

==Image Policy V2==
* Add only canon image, not screenshots from customized/tweaked canon games or mods. For example, only the core model of Noble Six is allowed to be used in all Halopedia articles. Customised Noble Six models are to be removed immediately.
* Images that were previously intended to be used for userpages/personal use but have not been in used for quite some time are subjected to be deleted by the administration. As such, no notice will be given to the uploader.
* The "SLIDESHOW" feature in the gallery mode is prohibited from general use.
 
== UNSC Did You Know? ==
A small project which will improve the Did You Know template.
 
:Separate the trivia/DYK into categories. As suggested, it should be:
#Game Info Trivia/DYK - Differs from Gameplay as it focuses on what is first and last. Includes Easter Eggs. For example, ''"Did you know ...that there is an easter egg in Timberland, called the DMM 2003?"''
#Character Info Trivia/DYK - Typical trivia such as ''"Did you know ...that Johnson loves Flip Music?"''.
#Gameplay Trivia/DYK - Differs from Game Info as it focuses on Glitches and Tricks. For example, ''"Did you know ... that partially reloading your weapon in HaloCE/PC followed with a melee will skip the reloading phase by <sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub>?"''
#In-Universe Trivia/DYK - Typical ''"In {YEAR}, blah blah blah"''. For example, ''"Did you know ... that in the year October 20, 2552, Reach was invaded by the Covenant?"''
#Real World Trivia/DYK - Fun real-world facts like ''"Did you know ...that Jen Taylor voiced Cortana in the Halo Trilogy?"'' or ''"...that Halo 3 uses the Havok Physics Engine"''.
 
== Categorising You! ==
Refer to [[Wikipedia:Categorization]]. Project is to improve the categorisation system in Halopedia.
