From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Please just let the staff deal with the welcome-based stuff if we choose to do it. Thanks. This user is in the Discord thus we are able to help a lil more directly. :)
Ethan please join us on the Halopedia Discord. Its far easier to talk to staff and the community there at this time!
We'd honestly be able to quickly respond to stuff you are asking on Talk pages there.
Look Ethan. I need ya to just stop using the LanguageTool till we make a decision if ya can use it... mass editing articles like that is one reason we put the rule in place.
Due to the mass grammar edits we also need time to look over all your edits to make sure they are correct as there is quite a few mistakes in the past we need/needed to fix up.
Seriously please join the server, us on the staff want to make sure ya can do stuff effectively and thats the easiest route on our end. :) Us on the wiki staff talking and not getting direct responses isnt helping either side here!
I really dont wanna swing the 2 week ban hammer over something totally avoidable. So please get back to us asap! :)
And now as per this new rule section, I must request you stop using the Language and Grammar tool and if you want to continue using it the way you are. You must request and get it passed!

Failure to comply may risk a ban!
Hey so just a heads up. Starting tomorrow 24 hours from this message we are counting the LanguageTool that you are using under the Bot policy we have.
https://www.halopedia.org/Halopedia:Bots
Where you will need to request to be able to use it. Where its not garenteed it will be successful.
Its unfortunately caused a few issues we are still fixing up and thats one reason outta a few.
Yea I concur with my fellow wiki colleague. Join our server!
Outside editing (which we will talk about) you will meet a lotta fans also!

That's fine and all, but we have been concerned by how you don't seem to preview your edits before saving them, and break links a lot of the time. It'd be preferable if you can at least take a little more care when making edits, as it has been repeatedly brought up in our staff chat. It'd be helpful if you joined our Discord if you have issues with editing.
Yo Ethan, Admin CIA391 here!
We appreciate the work you are doing. But I must request a couple things. Failure to comply may risk in a short ban and I really dont like giving those.
1. Please dont message new users on using software we havent verified and listed on the wiki as a trustworthy. (What may be safe for you, might not be for others and we just want to be safe)
2. Please dont message users on what they can or can not do. That is Wiki Staff work. If you believe there is a issue, give me or another staff member a message. Messaging Bots is allowed.
As a extra note: Can you join the Discord. So you can discuss with us and our community stuff you are doing! And ways you can become a better editor!
Hi, when making new articles please try and do a thorough search to make sure that the content you're looking for doesn't already exist on the site, and is actually needed. Thanks.
Thank you for fixing grammar/wording issues on so many pages. It really helps the presentation of the website.
I notice that you tend to make multiple small edits in quick succession when editing pages. In the future, please make use of the "This is a minor edit" checkbox for similar small edits, especially when correcting things like typos. Also, please consider using the "Show preview" option before submitting your edits. This way, you can see how you edits will look on the page and it will let you read other sections to search for grammar errors as well. For this, I suggest you use the "Edit" option at the top of the article rather than in the individual sections, as this will let you view all of the sections at once and reduce the overall amount of edits for us to review. But that's not as important as the "minor edit" and "show preview" functions. Thank you.
