In the same vein, and possibly more important, I think it's time we remove the "Halo movie" tab from the Books & Media --> Live Action subtab. Select "Live Action" and we see the following list: [[Landfall]], [[The Life]], [[Birth of a Spartan]], [[Remember Reach]], [[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn|Forward Unto Dawn]], and [[Halo (film)|Halo movie]]. Does one of those seem like the odd one out? Hint: five of them actually got made. I know we're all ''Halo'' experts here, but imagine how that looks to a more casual fan checking out our wiki for the first time. They scroll through the list of released media, and suddenly they spy "Hey! There's a ''Halo'' movie!?" Then they click the link and find a page with [[Template:references|too few citations]] and [[Template:Grammar|improper grammar]] that states that the film was placed on "indefinite hold" (studio-talk for "dead") more than 6 years ago, and the last time anyone said anything was more than 2 years ago when Frankie basically said "We'll do it when the time is right." I'm not saying the project is dead, I'm saying it's like [[Linda-058|Linda]] at the end ''Fall of Reach'': flatlined and placed in stasis until they choose to thaw it out and resurrect it. When (if) they ever do make a Hollywood film, they'll be basically be starting from scratch. Listing this article right next to ''Forward Unto Dawn'' is confusing at best, insulting at worst. Once again, it'll stay in the category and template.

:It's four canceled projects versus 8 games, 13 books, and tons more comics and media. Hardly disillusioning.
