Before I edit them out and cause a potential edit war, what is the point of "Titles"? They're not listed on any other Halo game page. What is the point? --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 22:28, 30 April 2012 (EDT)

:How about let's have a discussion first, Specops. Just because its never been on another page doesn't mean it can't be included or given a trial run. Now this sort of thing is seen on many other wikis, and even in the past on here, we've had enemy type lists for the Covenant and Flood. This sort of thing will be accessible for UNSC ranks, Covenant and Unknown enemy types/ranks, and Forerunner rates (such as Prometheans). The latter of which is not an organization so much as a group of people, same with Sangheili aristocrats/swordsmen. Of course this can always be removed if the enemies and ranks get out of hand down the line, but until then, this is a good idea that I believe can further accessibly for users to read existing or potentially well written information. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

::Honestly, I cannot see why we should have a section on titles and ranks in the article. It's going way too much into detail that it could amount to redundancy (almost absolutely). We've never done so in any article before in Halopedia (not even our latest article on "Halo: Reach"), and I don't see why we should start with this one. Also, it creates issues with content that has no direct connection to the article. For example, it is not disputed that Aristocrats in the Sangheili society are the only ones capable of wielding the energy sword, but what relevance has it to the game? Similarly, I don't understand why we need to list out all the ranks and titles when we could simply put that in front of the character's name (i.e. MCPO John-117, Arbiter Thel 'Vadam). Sure, it creates potential traffic for less-visited articles, but the issue in hand is the relevancy. On that note, articles on UNSC ranks are still severely outdated and lack that "well-written information". — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 23:40, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
