Hi, I was just wondering what the difference is between this site (Halopedia) and the other site (Halo Nation), they're both on the same game, so why have two wikia's? --JF117 18:51, 10 August 2011 (EDT)

Halo Nation is the site run by wikia, while this is its own site. This is the official Halopedia, Halo Nation is a site struggling to keep up with Halo information and doomed as a wikia. (But at least it has a lot of images.) BushWookie^Camper

Halo Nation used to be Halopedia, but we moved it here last October due to Wikia planning on making several changes.--ハローファン (H1234-NET) 19:11, 10 August 2011 (EDT)

Halopedia is more reliable and Halo Nation is more "Halo Alienation". The people there arent as friendly basically. --ProfessorStalhmanSaysHello 07:19, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

The difference between the two is that Halo Nation acts as a social encyclopedia for players while Halopedia is a more story-orientated wiki. Halo Nation is the older of the two (I think) and was used to host the Halopedia for several years. Actually, ProfessorStalhmanSaysHello, Halo Nationals (not Halo Nationalists - those guys are nutjobs) seem much more social and view Halopedia as an oppressive regime ruled by cold, hartless dictators (Oh how I love being the villain) whom punish inexperienced users with capital punishment as wreckers (that's a political word). Essentially, the difference between the two populations can be distinguished by how well they tolerate a social hierarchy.-- Forerunner 08:44, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

But they just dont seem friendly, like erm you have to have an account on Halo Alienation to edit, but not on Halopedia. --ProfessorStalhmanSaysHello 09:22, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

No you don't - it's a wiki. And last tine I checked our ability to lock out IPs from editing was revoked after we used it to stop Reach leaks.-- Forerunner 09:28, 13 August 2011 (EDT)
