Halopedia: Difference between revisions

'''Halopedia''' is a wiki dedicated to providing accurate information on the fictional universe of the [[Halo]] video game series. Hosted by [[Wikia]], the wiki contains information on the games themselves as well as the novels, [[Action Figures|action figures]] and the maybe upcoming [[Halo Movie|movie]]. As of 2008, Halopedia is the largest wiki project for the Halo fictional universe.

Halopedia soon became a victim of its own success as its growing community began to present a major problem for its creators; the site's growing size was producing a bill in excess of US$150 a month for every server usage and average ping. Throughout May, June and July of 2006, the site would be sporadically down, until it finally went offline for several weeks. Eventually, Halopedia was merged with halo.wikia.com, a formerly rival wiki that did not have the same issues. Despite the painstaking process of having to copy every article from the original Halopedia, the site ultimately benefited with several new active users and a severe drop in vandalization, going from at least 2 or three vandalisms a day to almost none.
