Halo Alpha, like Halopedia, is a wiki dedicated to documenting the [[Halo (disambiguation)|Halo franchise]] and [[Halo Universe|universe]]. Although the specifics of some policies on the sites may be different, in general the aims of both wikis are the same: to provide readers with detailed and accurate information on everything related to Halo. | Halo Alpha, like Halopedia, is a wiki dedicated to documenting the [[Halo (disambiguation)|Halo franchise]] and [[Halo Universe|universe]].

Halo Nation existed for a little over nine years. During the later years of its tenure, however, its staff and community became increasingly unhappy with a number of policies and features that FANDOM introduced and removed without consulting the wikis, such as the planned removal of the site's existing forum feature, "Special:Forum", and the addition of auto-playing videos known as "Featured Videos" to some articles. Eventually, the Halo Nation administration called for a vote to leave FANDOM, which succeeded and led to the wiki merging back into Halopedia. Nevertheless, FANDOM policy forbade the wiki from being completely deleted from their site, and so it was renamed yet again to Halo Alpha. | Halo Nation existed for a little over nine years.

This is the reason why so many of the pages on Halopedia and Halo Alpha are similar or identical to one another - because at one point in time, they were the very same page. | This is the reason why so many of the pages on Halopedia and Halo Alpha are similar or identical to one another - because at one point in time, they were the very same page.
