:The site went down for over a month last June because apparently the bill to maintain Halopedia's server space went unpaid. It was moved here, to the Wikia system and merged with another Halo Wiki. Halopedia.org (or as we now call it, old.halopedia) no longer exists. As MediaWiki is an independant network, you'll have to register your username; our usernames did not carry over when we moved old.halopedia to MediaWiki software. Furthermore, as Halopedia currently has around 20,000 total pages, a move is not a wise idea unless we can somehow move everything at once as opposed to doing it all manually.

::::Manticore is correct. Halopedia didn't move to Wikia, so much as we forked it and merged it with some existing content from the old halo.wikia. Anyone is free to fork GFDL content as long as they keep it under a GFDL license. You are free to re-fork the content (download the article and image databases) and move it back to halopedia.org (and probably improved and larger than it was), or you can reconsider stay here. Forking a project is harmful for all involved, as it reduces the centrality of information, causing unnecessary duplication. | ::::Manticore is correct.

Right now you don't see any links to Halo 3 content "above the fold" meaning you have to scrolls down. Also, perhaps you could add more Halo 3 related nav in the side bar too for people who come in from Google and don't think to go to the home page. Links to the Campaigns, weapons, vehicles, etc..
