Hey, I just wanted to give you some forewarning as I saw your recent sandbox edit. We've actually been discussing the amount of level-battle pages recently and have been starting to make plans to heavily reduce them and condense them down. There's a good chance that your new page there will probably be caught up in that, as it mostly consists of a very detailed recounting of the level gameplay.

Wanted to give you a heads-up before you pushed it to main.

Yeah, I'm seeing that too. Just in case you weren't aware though, might have some you find useful.

No worries. When uploading, the form should be relatively straightforward to fill in but if you have any questions let me know and I can help out. Those templates, for reference, automatically sort the file into "Halo 3 Screenshots" or "Halo Wars concept art" (etc etc) categories, and display the licensing information for the file. It's boring backend stuff but they're good for organisation and whatnot.

No worries! :-)

Just a heads up that we are moving to Chapter numbers over page numbers for the Halo novels. There is a lot of reasons for this, one being the inconsistent nature of page numbers with so many versions, and ebooks being... well varied with how big your device is a lot of the time.

I got them from ArtStation. Lots of people at Blur post renders or models there for their portfolio.

It's pretty much like that, though I would argue there are instances where using the human names is acceptable in an in-universe context too, if only for the sake of avoiding excessive repetition (though the native names take precedence). It's not a huge deal either way, just something to consider.

Just a heads-up: There's no real need to treat the human names for the Covenant species as if they're profanities, particularly in plot summaries, level transcripts, trivia sections, and the like. It's true that the native Covenant names should be preferred in in-universe accounts, but it's not wrong to employ less formal terminology in sections or articles written from a real-world perspective (you can, for instance, say both "Sangheili" and "Elite" in a plot summary or trivia section).
