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). | So, 2012 is a good year.

With that said, I think it's a good time for another roundup of changes to the wiki's rules and policies, as well as introducing new ones if anyone thinks we lack something that would improve the wiki. Before we put our thinking hats on, I think it would be best to revisit the changes we've implemented so far. | With that said, I think it's a good time for another roundup of changes to the wiki's rules and policies, as well as introducing new ones if anyone thinks we lack something that would improve the wiki.

The wiki's [[Project:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] received a significant update from its previous significant update in 2010. We've introduced standards identifying the preferred writing styles and best of practice for editing.

The [[Project:Canon|Canon | The [[Project:Canon policy|Canon policy]] also received a significant update. Not only it has incorporated all the canon interpretation issues Halopedians have discussed on talk pages, it is clearer than its 2010 revision.

[[Project:FAQ|FAQ]] is new to the wiki... well, not really. That's a lie. FAQs have been thrown around the wiki since its inception. The project page simply consolidates all of these into one page, making it easier for everyday users to check on the common questions. It's not complete yet, since we're still missing our official User Manual to assist users new to wiki-editing. On top of that, we also introduced [[Halopedia:Community/QA|Ask Us Anything?!!]] to assist Halo fans with general questions regarding the Halo franchise. | [[Project:FAQ|FAQ]] is new to the wiki... well, not really.
