Hey Jugus,

I assume you've seen the changes I've made to the wiki's main page and community page by adding the AID box. This will increase the visibility of the project as well as informing users of the articles needing improvement (as somewhat suggested by Imrane117 in the Wiki Update forum). Hope you can find some good use of the AID box.

Would you go for "Covenant station at Oth Lodon" or "Station at Oth Lodon"? Based on the fact that we have "Covenant cruiser at Longhorn Valley", I would go for the first one.

Fair enough. Never really thought about it that way. I'll be sure to avoid such actions in the future.

Thanks, I was trying to find that.

About the Locus page, I don't think it's best to have the whole title "MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Locus" in the name field of the infobox. I would prefer just "Locus", for several reasons. Firstly, I don't recall from where the custom of having variant names prefixed by "MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/..." comes from. I always just assumed it was a result of how the encyclopedia pages work, i.e., titles with "PageOne/PageTwo" functioned as subpages of "PageOne". But if you do know where the prefix comes from, let me know. Second, even if it is the case that such prefixing occurs in canon, I would still feel that including the whole prefix would amount to redundancy, whereas armor variants are commonly referred to just by "X" and not "MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/X".

(P.S.) I just noticed the excess information I've been copypasting from the infobox code that you removed. I'll work on cleaning them up from the rest of the armor variant pages with an infobox.

Sorry Jugus, could you please add another pop-up for Escalation? Thanks.

Hi Jugus,

Could you please add a pop-up (hover?) box to the Initiation series of comics in the navigation pane? I just created new articles for each issue. I'm not sure if it's possible for me to do it myself.

Thanks.

Yeah, but I can see the want to name them in Spartan tag order. I'll see if I can get an answer out of Catalog.

So any ideas on how to match Margaret-053 and Roma-143 up to Black-One and Black-Two?

Been working on the "List of explained inconsistencies", got a draft saved. School's delayed me a bit, but I should be posting it up soon.

Well we've gotten most of the moving out of the way, save for a lot of the machine guns and bigger weapons. Either way we deserve a break and take a nice relaxing read of Halo Escalation #3 this week. Still need to get Issues 1 and 2 though >.<

The price we pay for simple titles. We'll as soon as I'm done with updating the battle infoboxes I'll get on renaming convention round 2.

Well I'll get right on it. Though we did make some article names longer, and if we renamed the BRs we'd be going back to calling them BR-55 battle rifles.

Eh "standard". I looked up how Wookieepedia did it only to find different pages doing different things. But it's whatever really, super minor detail at best. We have more pressing matters to attend to. Like possibly updating the Mega Bloks and Action Figure pages. Ah I remembered something else I had on my mind. Which weapon articles warrant capital letters? The M41 rocket launcher and MA5 assault rifles are all in lower case while most of the pages I and other users moved still retained capital letters based upon the Pelican page retaining its capital P.

Sorry for the last message, I only just now got your reply from earlier for whatever reason. I respectfully disagree, but you're the admin so I'll go with it.

But in all actuallity I think "smallest to biggest" is best.

Descending? Booo. Ascending is better man.

Is there a policy on how the battle infobox should be set up? If so should the "units" be in alphabetical order or go from Infantry, to Vehicles, to Aircraft, to spaceships?

Been absent from Halopedia for a while due to school. It's been a crazy month and exams will be soon. My editing likely will be sparse until mid-December.

Hey, a decision needs to be made on the M2859 Materiel Acquisition Pod article. I'd appreciate it if some admins posted their opinions too, to help move things along. Also, if you find you do have time to take care of the requested screenshot of 343 Guilty Spark from Halo 2, then please do.

Sort of. It seems most likely that John is partially dreaming, but Halsey's words are real and he's hearing them while he's dreaming. That's happened to me all the time. Otherwise somehow John knows about Halsey's guilt when he's only met her once.

Just to reiterate, this image and this image of the Halo 2 Seraph need to be replaced with larger screenshots, if possible, when you have the time. And please, do change the screenshots, don't just upload transparent extractions. (I like to do those too!) And if it is at all possible the Marathon-class heavy cruiser side profile screenshot would be nice too.

Hey, could you replace this image of the Heretic Banshee in Halo 2? Also, an overhead shot (maybe two images) of the Seraph on the Halo 2 level The Oracle? And if it is possible (which I doubt), can you get a large side profile screenshot of the Marathon-class heavy cruiser too?
