:When Halo 5 was coming out, IGN released the first campaign mission with permission from 343 Industries. This revealed the death of Jul 'Mdama. I added his death to his article citing the IGN video, but it was weeks before the game's release. The edit was reverted and I was scolded on the talk page for adding such information. However the information was factual, Official (Published by IGN), and 343 Industries approved. Hence why I feel we should be purely objective when it comes to information.[[User:Editorguy|Editorguy]] ([[User talk:Editorguy|talk]]) 21:52, 23 October 2017 (EDT) | |||

Proposal
This is my proposal if you call it one. For an Halopedia Non-disclosure agreement. Linked here. But pretty much it is to protect Halopedia, and anyone giving us confidential material, knowledge, or information. We need this in place so we have safeguards in place for the potential that people come to us with information or help. But I am here mostly asking for ways to improve this so it can be added to the wiki.

Support -" if you support this
- Support — Of course I support this as I submitted it.-CIA391 (talk) 19:20, 23 October 2017 (EDT)
- Support - I'd like to see Halopedia become less moral and more objective. If there's a leak, as long as it's factual it should be included on the wiki. Wikis are about pure hard facts. Not arbitrary ethics of if it's morally wrong to share leaks or not.Editorguy (talk) 20:24, 23 October 2017 (EDT)
Neutral (1/1) Sysop
Please use "#
Neutral -" if you are neutral to this
- Neutral Not sure we really need an NDA. For one thing, NDA implies it's legally binding. For another, the current policy of not considering leaks valid sources, of keeping spoilers off the site until the product is released, and our general staying-under-the-rader-ness tend to make anything that might crop up with regard to this a moot point. At most, we talk to authors or other people who have officially contributed to Halo canon, like Stephen Loftus, and they know better than to pass along anything 343i really wants kept under wraps. -- Qura 'Morhek The Autocrat of Morheka 20:16, 23 October 2017 (EDT)
