'''Article Improvement Drive''' is a community project to improve the wiki's content through bringing articles in dire need of improvement—from cleanup to content expansion and updates—to everyone's attention. The list is refreshed periodically with new articles requiring improvement, but previous entries will be kept on the list until those articles have been brought fully up to date. An article is considered sufficiently repaired when it is properly sourced, accurate, comprehensive and well formatted—in short, up to our general standards of quality.

#{{AID|}} Game level transcripts need to be formatted in accordance with the [[Halopedia:Layout Guide/Campaign|the Layout Guide]]; for most articles, this means the standardization of the way characters and other subjects are referenced (e.g. omitting superfluous or overly long titles/ranks), as well as the addition of music tracks playing at a given time.

#{{AID|}} Quote pages need to be updated according to the [[Halopedia:Layout Guide/Quotes|Layout Guide]]. For example, insignificant lines which are not quotable in any fashion should be removed. In addition, quotes which are part of a dialog between the subject and another character should feature a transcript of the lines of both characters as opposed to only those spoken by the title character. For an example of this in practice, see [[Forthencho/Quotes]].
