Fix link

It appears that the link in the left header to "Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Making Worlds" does not work (under books and media; reference). I suggest an admin fix it. pestilence Phil, pestilence! 22:36, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

Simply change the word "making" to "building" pestilence Phil, pestilence! 22:38, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

I just tried it and I got the same thing "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 22:46, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

Hero videos

On waypoint they have a series of videos called Hero. the latest is Hero-Sacrifice. SHouldn't they have pages?--210.56.88.194 10:07, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

No other videos from Waypoint have pages,so no.--1234fansofHalo 16:11, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

Is there a reason why? The Regret documentary has/had a page. It's no different from archiving BWUs.-- Forerunner 16:59, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

If we were to have a page for this then wouldn't we format it the way Halo Trailer videos are formatted or something like that.--1234fansofHalo 17:06, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

It should be treated as a trailer with narration - the E3 2007 trailer for Halo 3.-- Forerunner 19:25, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

Shouldn't the Waypoint videos have pages? It seems strange not to include them--210.56.91.57 01:00, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

Question

Is it just me or does anybody else have the problem that when they try to go to halo nation they get sent here. 173.51.78.230 19:44, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm not seeing it :/ -- Forerunner 20:02, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm having the same problem, if i go to halo nation, i also get sent here..HaloReplicas 05:26, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

Q&A

Is there a Q&A on this wiki? I know some gaming wikis have some sort of Question and Answer section (like CoD's "Ask a Veteran") where people can get a direct answer from other users about gameplay facts or such. Bioniclepluslotr 20:38, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

We tend to use THIS instead; its easier, quicker, and doesn't require any proper Human interaction. User:CommanderTony/Sig

Sometimes human interaction is more reliable. Why do people use Yahoo Answers instead of Google? Bioniclepluslotr 13:02, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

Because they don't know the formula to asking a question on Google, i.e. What + your query + ? User:CommanderTony/Sig

I find Bioniclepluslotr's suggestion interesting. I feel a Q&A system would improve relations between users and also be a good platform for interesting debates.--The All-knowing Sith'ari 18:36, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

We already have plenty of those in the forums and on individual article talk pages. User:CommanderTony/Sig

Close enough?

As 343GS and 2401PT's prefix codes (04 and 05, respectively) match their respective installations' codes, is this a confirmation that the ring under 05-032MB's control was the original Installation 05?-- Forerunner 20:58, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

This may be true, but it doesn't account for the existance of 2401. Why was he the installation's monitor when Medicant Bias was too? If MB was (at some point) the monitor, that could explain the release of the flood, and the existance of a gravemind on 05's surface. pestilence Phil, pestilence! 02:49, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

MB was caretaker to one of the original twelve rings and then went rampant. After eleven were destroyed and another severly damaged the Ark built another set. Even if the damaged one was Installation 05 and it was repaired rather than replaced, his rampancy and betrayal would probably be grounds to call for his replacement.-- Forerunner 06:27, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

I fully agree that Mendicant Bias' Halo was the original Installation 05. Although Cryptum makes it very clear that MB was not a true monitor like Guilty Spark or Penitent Tangent, it was charged with the ring's operation and protection, just like a "real" monitor. Yesterday, I made a note on the 05-032 Mendicant Bias article stating that MB was likely the caretaker of the original Installation 05. I'm certain that Primordium will identify Mendicant's Halo, considering that - as far as we know - it is the setting of the entire novel. --Courage never dies. 08:28, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Mendicant Bias is a different class than Guilty Spark or Penitent Tangent. How are we to know whether the same descriptor rules apply to a Contender-class AI? It may mean something altogether different. -- Specops306 ^{Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek} 07:55, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Magnetic holsters

I've been looking for information about the holsters used on the Mjolnir amor and how it works etc. but have found none. Can anyone point me in the right direction?--210.56.91.101 02:19, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Try the MJOLNIR articles, specifically the articles for the Mark IV, V and VI versions. It should be there. Really, there's not much to say - they're magnetic, and they hold guns in place instead of cumbersome metal, plastic, leather or fabric holsters that can get in the way. -- Specops306 ^{Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek} 07:52, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

I checked those pages but couldn't find any mention. I basically just wanted to see if they'd ever provided much detail on them and if it was just contained to the thighs and back or if it could be applied to other areas of the suit--210.56.91.101 12:06, 31 July 2011 (EDT)
