From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Never mind. After I wrote that I remember that the last bit of the book featured the leader of Fireteam Apollo onboard Infinity receiving a message from Rion Forge about where he could find Gek 'Lhar.
Not sure, I haven't read it. I'll ask the discord.
Just curious: the Infinity is listed as being in Halo: Renegades. I don't remember that. Where was it in the book???
Good, good, good. I finished my page for the Battle at The Refuge by the way.
Oh yeah, the plan is to make pages on those operations.
Well I don't care either way really. But if they are mentioned in the briefing packet maybe just create a short page based on that for them??? I mean they wouldn't be the only operations that has only a tiny blurb for them because we know basically nothing about them.
The operations are the ones included with the Infinity Briefing Packet (aka the Halo 4 limited edition). Otherwise, if an engagement is minor I'd just follow the Battle of Installation 04 navbox, where a few just serve as redirects to sections of the main Installation 04 page. Another option to consider is something like the Battles of the Isonzo on Wikipedia, where several minor conflicts are merged into one page.
All of these locations have multiple conflicts attached to them. Frankly most of them just don't seem worth creating pages for since they are so minor or its hard to come up with an appropriate title. I didn't create this whole splitting the engagements up into multiple pages, but I've ran with it because otherwise we get a bunch of red links or half-formed pages. Some of these things linked to the Requiem Campaign, the operations, I'm not even sure what those are supposed to have been so I can't do anything with the pages for them.
I've started building the page which I've entitled Battle at The Refuge. I chose to go with at the Refuge instead of of the Refuge to separate it from the Battle of the Refuge page regarding the Refuge shield world.
There was a couple of earlier skirmishes that were pretty minor. Uh in the first mission I believe... maybe chapter 3 or 4??? When you first scout the Refuge and get the star map that somehow leads to the artifact in the Cauldron. Never got that: they said the data recovered by Crimson confirmed something about an archeological dig, but when you find it, its clearly a star map. Later you get sent back to investigate the disappearance of a science team and shut down a bunch of stuff. Both of those fights were more minor skirmishes and were against Prometheans solely.
Could you link the mission(s) in which it happens?
If not feel free to just write the page as you see fit, and we can discuss it properly on the talk page!
A couple but that's not the point. I meant more like do you think its a Skirmish or a Battle considering a cruiser and multiple waves of troops was involved.
Should be? How many battles are there?
Looks like it. I'll probably be doing the page for the fight at the Refuge that's next. Do you think Skirmish at the Refuge is the appropriate title though???
Alright I moved the page. Do your thing.
I'm going to change it back. What I'm thinking of calling the first fight is Assault on Galileo Base and I'll adjust the Battle, template thingy and Galileo Base pages to reflect that. I'd appreciate the bot for fixing all of those links once I rename the page again though which I will be doing in just a minute.
If you let me know, I'll use a bot to fix up the links for you.
That could work yeah, you'll just wanna add a note in the top to distinguish the two.
I want to go with Battle of Galileo Base for the second one but I think Skirmish or Assault is more appropriate for the first attack. Like I said, that was a much more minor attack and could be categorized as such but the one I created, that was a full-on battle with MASSIVE Covenant and Promethean forces. So maybe restore the original name and links and for the first attack categorize it as I suggested???
Sorry about that, I'd assumed you'd missed the first attack - that's my bad. I feel like noting that they're the first and second engagements there is probably best, but otherwise I'm all ears.
I was thinking of calling the first battle at Galileo more of a skirmish or an assault as it was far more minor while second one, the one I created the page for was more of a full-out battle.
The majority of pages on the site use the old reference style - we're pretty much going through and updating things as we get to them, but a lot of these kinds of rehauls are long term goals (a lot of things are scheduled for after the wiki merger is complete too, which could be a while yet...) I'm currently pushing to try and get the more updated (and hopefully comprehensive) guidelines posted in the help section for people to use for reference, as it's unfair to expect people to know what the right guidelines are if it's hard to know what the right ones are. A lot of things are scheduled for after the merger, sadly.
You should probably fix that then. I mean that sincerely. The ones to check would be the Requiem Campaign page and all of the pages for locations on Requiem like Two Giants and Harvester. I know both of those pages have that formatting for sure. I actually think some of the pages used to have a much longer formatting for references like "Spartan Ops: Episode 8 Chapter So and So" which always seemed stupid. I think I was the one that switched some of them around to what there is now based on what I saw on other pages because that longer version was just stupid.
