Pavium and Voridus height

I can mathematically prove their heights. TacitAutumn7 (talk) 20:13, October 20, 2019 (EDT)

User-made calculations can't be cited as proof here. Sorry. Particularly when inserted into the page without any sourcing or backup of any kind.BaconShelf (talk) 02:41, October 21, 2019 (EDT)

TacitAutumn7, it might help to read this Wikipedia page. I know not all Wikipedia policies affect Halopedia, but this one sums it up. WP:OR Jeb³_{Talk at me here} 07:18, October 21, 2019 (EDT)

Broken redirects

Hi, it looks like on May 30 you deleted a bunch of things without checking their links. Most of the Special:BrokenRedirects are links to deleted pages. I thought I'd let you know to delete them instead of tagging them all. Earlier I removed some broken file links that you deleted, but I was just checking the system category so there may be more broken links listed on the special pages. Thanks, Bobogoobo (talk) 01:12, July 25, 2020 (EDT)

Page Deletion

Hey Bacon, just wondering why the page on "Craig" was deleted. I understand previously he was an internet meme, however his appearance was recently confirmed in the Inside Infinite for October 2021. Can you explain the reason behind this to me?—This unsigned comment was made by Camelboiis (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Hey. As it stands there's no indication that they actually intend to make a canon character called Craig. Instead, in that post they're using the name as a joking way to refer to the Brute model seen in the E3 2020 demo - not as an intent to make such a character actually canon. They do indicate they've included some easter eggs in the game referencing the meme which would certainly be grounds for a page creation, and a Craig article may in time be worth creating as a non-canon article covering the history of the joke (see our pages on Mister Chief, for an example of this, or Yapflip for an example of a character which is only mentioned as part of an easter egg and thus likely has no canon significance).

However, we are very wary of creating pages on memes or community jokes, due to the frequency at which they appear and their relative lack of notability - if you wanted to present a case for this I think it would be best to do so on our Discord server, as we have a lot of active contributors there.BaconShelf (talk) 03:37, November 1, 2021 (EDT)

Alright, thank you for the insight! I assumed the caption under the picture of the Brute meant that this was the new “Craig” model, but I will bring up that point in the discord. Thanks again for your time! Camelboiis (talk) 03:51, November 1, 2021 (EDT)

No worries. Apologies for deleting the page so suddenly, we've had a fair few people try to make such a page over the past year as a meme, so it's something we're a little sensitive toward. Thank you for your contributions! BaconShelf (talk) 04:08, November 1, 2021 (EDT)

Canon Policy

Hi! I was just wondering about the site's canon policy. I have an Idea for some classified ONI operations on Covenant industrial planets that I'd like to write about. While these operations are something ONI would do, they don't have any direct references in any franchise material.
