{{Quote|Halopedia can tell you nearly anything you may need to know about Halo. Halopedia is also a wiki, which means it's constantly expanding. It knows everything about the Halo games, books, upcoming movie, and other appearances, and with your help, it can grow even larger. But how can one trust a wiki? Surely some crazy could come in and troll the entire place up. Well... they could, but they wouldn't get too far. Halopedia is guarded by rabid watchdog-like fans who are constantly watching the Recent Changes page to check for the slightest error, either grammar or factual. Okay, that's a bit exaggerated. The real deal is that Halopedia is under almost constant watch by someone who can set everything right. With 3 very responsible sysops and a mob of other users, Halopedia is in safe hands. Be sure to check out Halopedia and even you could find something to contribute.|[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]]'s description of the wiki. (2006)<ref name="weknow"/>}}

'''Halopedia''' is a wiki about the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' fictional universe]]. It covers the ''Halo'' [[:category:Games|video games]], from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' to ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''; tie-in media and merchandise including [[:category:Books|published literature]], [[:category:Film|films]] and [[action figure]]s; as well as [[:category:People|notable people]] associated with the franchise. Much like [[starwars:Main Page|Wookieepedia]], Halopedia is a fan-driven encyclopedia and is not an official party of the Halo franchise; thus, it is not itself a primary source of ''Halo'' information but rather an aggregate of content based on official media.

Halopedia has come to be regarded as accurate and reliable among the Halo fanbase and media alike,<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=16876 '''Bungie.net''': ''Breaking In - Rob Adams'']</ref> and has been used as a source for several works of published literature.<ref name="effect">'''''[[Halo Effect: An Unauthorized Look at the Most Successful Video Game of All Time]]'''''</ref><ref name="dune">[http://www.amazon.com/Science-Dune-Unauthorized-Exploration-Psychology/dp/1933771283/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1304746854&sr=1-1 '''Amazon''', ''The Science of Dune: An Unauthorized Exploration into the Real Science Behind Frank Herbert's Fictional Universe'']</ref><ref name="guide">[http://www.amazon.com/Mobilizing-Generation-2-0-Practical-Technologies/dp/0470227443/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1304746823&sr=1-1 '''Amazon''': ''Mobilizing Generation 2.0: A Practical Guide to Using Web 2.0: Technologies to Recruit, Organize and Engage Youth'']</ref><ref name="popculture">[http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Philosophy-Popular-Culture/dp/0812697189/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1304746755&sr=8-1 '''Amazon''': ''Halo and Philosophy'']</ref><ref>[http://silence-without.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-did-mention-giant-angry-testicle.html '''Silence Without''': ''I did mention the...'']</ref><ref name="mention">[[Halopedia:Halopedia in the Media|'''Halopedia''': ''Halopedia in the Media'']]</ref>
