 So, 2012 is a good year. ''[[Halo 4]]'' came out. The end of the world is postponed yet again ("aww!"). And we will soon step into 2013 (as of this writing).

 == Changes for 2013 ==
-So, this is the list of changes that I think should be made for the betterment of the wiki:
+marks a new year for Halopedia. The wiki is approaching into its ninth year of operation, all thanks to Halopedians and the rest of the Halo community. With every new year, I think it is fitting to make a few changes here and there to improve the wiki in preparation of 2014 (while sticking true to "if it's not broken, don't fix it" and "always one step ahead" principles).
-*'''Halopedia is not a repository of images''' to [[H:NOT]] and/or '''Update''' to [[Project:Image Policy|Image Policy]]
+So, this is the list of changes that should be made to the wiki's rules and policies. Table works best to illustrate the changes.
-**There is a growing concern (in my opinion, not sure about others) that Halopedia is becoming more into a repository of images and that it might not comply with the wiki's [[Project:Copyright|Copyright policy]]. It's no surprise that we don't really make good practice out of [[Template:Information|Information template for copyright]] for all these images we've uploaded.
-**The Image Policy just needs an update... badly. And better enforcement.

-*'''Layout Guide to be updated'''!
-**This is really my fault for not meeting deadlines... would appreciate if someone would come in and voluntarily update it themselves.
-*'''User Manual''' for new users/editors
-**It's almost here. Best bet, around mid-January. Likelihood of help pages to redirected: unlikely.

 ::Probably a little late, but isn't there a way of altering the MediaWiki coding to force a template to appear, should nobody select any copyright status?

+:::I think there is. I saw several wikis requiring users to fill up a copyright form (in the sense that what type of copyright category would it fall in, source of the file, etc) before uploading the file. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  03:03, 7 January 2013 (EST)
