How do I steal an image here on Halopedia?

You can steal an image very easily just follow these instructions

How do I explode a page here on Halopedia?

When you explode a page, you can add "[[" and "]]" around a word to make it an internal link (a link to a Halopedia article). If there is no page that exists with that name, the link will be red and you can explode the page. It is good to use the search bar first to make sure that there isn't already an explosion with a similar name.
