'''Article Improvement Drive''' is a community project to improve the wiki's content through bringing articles in dire need of improvement—from cleanup to content expansion and updates—to everyone's attention. The list is refreshed periodically with new articles requiring improvement, but previous entries will be kept on the list until those articles have been brought fully up to date. An article is considered sufficiently repaired when it is properly sourced, accurate, comprehensive and well formatted—in short, up to our general standards of quality.

For an example of this in practice, see [[Forthencho/Quotes]].

#{{AID|1}} We are in the process of clarifying the nature of the [[Covenant remnants|factions that emerged]] during the [[Great Schism]]. The labels "Covenant loyalists" and "Covenant separatists", formerly used by the wiki and still found on some pages, are inaccurate as the Sangheili only ''threatened'' to resign from the High Council and did not secede of their own accord. Thus, other terms should be used to identify the parties involved; examples of acceptable terminology for the so-called "separatists" include "the Sangheili" or "Sangheili-led Covenant", etc. while the opposing side may be identified by their loyalty to the Prophet of Truth, or their military's leadership by the Jiralhanae. The Sangheili aligned with the Arbiter and allied with humanity may be identified by their affiliation with the [[Fleet of Retribution]], or [[Swords of Sanghelios]] in post-Schism contexts. Also note that this group does not constitute the entirety of the Sangheili species; the [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|splinter group formed by Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]], for example, is considered its own faction, and the majority of the Sangheili were unaligned with any particular group during the first days of the Great Schism.
