Re: Redirects

Hey ED, nice to hear from you :)

I do typically leave redirects alone but those two were tagged and had pretty ambiguous names, so I got rid of them.

Feel free to restore though, and thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind.

That one won't be easy, I'm not really very good at Halo 2 legendary yet, you might consider asking someone else. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 14:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Template:User

Um, why are you putting {{User}} on the IP pages? I just discussed this with Manticore on IRC, and he said that we don't normally put that on IP user pages, because they are not allowed to create personal user pages.--Spartan-781 Seaman.png CommCSV 13:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

More for our sake than theirs, it is much easier to see their contributions that way. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 14:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

User Page

I was just wondering Major, why did you create my user page? Thank you, sir. Darth Cronus 14:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Because your user page was a redlink, and the User template lets us know the essentials about you. You can always change it in any way you want, of course. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 14:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

How about you try being more respectful when communicating with other members of the community. Bans aren't implemented to force you to have a wiki-break. Try exercising some self control. -- Manticore Manticore is a Halopedia administrator. Talk | Contributions 05:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

RE: List of UNSC Military Units

1. I was just speculating on what the unit's actual name probably is, "Twenty-Second Tactical" is normally a formal military unit name.

2. I'm convinced it is, members of the 105th Division are called Helljumpers, and so are the members of the 7th Battalion. Either i'm right, or every Shock Trooper is nicknamed as an "Helljumper"

And I sure will put my views down on this.

Rawr,
File:UNSCoH Dingo without letters.PNGColonel TonyTalk 10/10/2007

Yeah I agree, "22nd tactical" is driving me crazy too. Unfortunately nothing else was released about the unit. It could be the "22nd tactical squad" or the "22nd tactical public relations team" for all we know. We just cant put anything down for certain about it. As for the 105th, there are many divisions of ODSTs, but no correlation between ODST units and the term "Helljumper" has been explicitly stated. I was under the impression that "Helljumper" described the job of an ODST, not a partuclar unit. Just like how all the US Army's special forces are called "Green Berets" even though only 2 of the 7 functional special forces groups have green insignia, and not all special forces literally wear green berets. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 02:52, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Medel

I just gave myself a new medel for a 1000 edits, i went to log it but i dont know how it worked, could you please log it for me.--UNSCoH General "Running Riot" Ryan Sm Sniper Rifle.gif BAM 23:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

OK. thanks for letting me know. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 18:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I did the edit

um... thanks I guess. I know the rules, but I don't vandalise, I actually managed to did what I wrote. I edit those only after I tried them. Along the way, 123.194.146.128 is me, so if there is anything concerning that ip please go to my talk page, thnks.

Pucca4ever(Communication Suite|Missions Completed) 10:16, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

P.S. except for the last one, I only added the br thing to make the lines actually cut and go nicer like the other ones, but didn't turn out to be too well :)

Oh, its all good, I just invite all IPs to create an account out of habit, I didn't know it was you, and you really didnt do anything wrong, so don't worry about it! --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 18:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Bleedin' Password

Hi, Ed, sorry to bother you with such a menial task, but I've been getting absolutely no help from the correct people whatsoever. I've done a few edits here and there as this IP, but it's actually Diaboy. I've requested my password be changed several times; I get the corresponding email but the password I recieve doesn't work. I sent a message to the wiki help people but I am yet to get a respons and this was a good week ago. Any ideas?
I know this isn't really your area so sorry to bother you with it but I can't seem to get help anywhere else!
Cheers anyway,
Diaboy 82.69.114.25 23:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

P.S I did some edits on the M99 Special Application Sniper Rifle page but they got reverted a few days later. Am I doing something wrong?

Waow! I finally managed to get the darned thing to work. Found the password scrawled on a bit of paper! Sorry to cause such a fuss... Diaboy 23:22, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok. heh thats good, I dont think I could have helped you out very much, anyway. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 00:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Scottlee

Okey... I named him that at first but later changed to "Scott Lee" bacause I thought that Scottlee was a hell of an surname...

As a member of ROTC, I can tell you that you run into a lot of strange names like that, especially in something as big as the military. But yeah it really does sound strange. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 21:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Fist Of Rukt

The redirect you made is not necessary unless someone links to that page; if someone types in "Fist Of Rukt" in the searchbar, but the page doesn't exist, it'll take them to Fist of Rukt instead automatically. --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 00:26, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

False. The redirect holds the page's place in case another person tries to write the article, and while the new skin uses the automatic redirecting, older skin versions do not. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 00:28, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Heys! I gots an ideas!

Hey ED, good to see you again, hey while I was gone I came up with a great idea that could benifit the wiki community. I came up with the idea of a new Usergroup/Community Team for Halopedia, Halopedias very own Forge team! Now before I go on understand that I know about the policys and rules about this so consider this to be an idea(just like the Monitors of Halopedia) to be approved by you and the other admins. Basicly this would be a group of any number of individuals with a leader/organizer. Screening would included so not everyone joins. the rules would be that you need to have a basic knowledge of forge, have a good working knowledge on how to make FAIR,FUN, and EXCITING maps. Noone who makes maps for a single person or team would be accepted. People who wiss to join would send me(if it is OK that I be founder and leader,open to suggestion btw) an application on 1.Why they want to join and why they think they would benifit the community. 2. Examples of maps they have made. pics or vids would be great. and 3. If they have a particular role or job they would wiss to have such as Sandtrap only maps,etc. Anyways as I have said this is an Idea to be approved as this is also sent to the other admins. If you have any questions regarding this, contact me. BTW, good to see you again, I finally got unblocked! yay! WRAITH 21:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

How in the world did you get blocked? --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 20:37, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Changing my username

I want to change my user name to something different other then my Wookieepedia account name so is there anyway to change your account name it's your universal wikia account name?--Darth Scott 20:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

You can make a new username here on Halopedia or at any wikia wiki and it will become a universal wikia account name. However, your old name's stats (edit count, edit history, etc) can't transfer. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 20:37, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok thanks--Darth Scott 20:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Hey ED. I was just asking if I could get a promo. I've done about as much work as Ajax, and I'm currently going through the whole UoH Private list to give them grades. I have a high edit count too, and most of them are UNSC(probably about 1000). Can I get a promo?--Spartan-781 Seaman.png CommCSV 05:49, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

hanks forthat, always willing to help. What do you mean we have been disbanded? what happed while I was gone. BTW what do you think of my Forge team idea? WRAITH 16:43, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

The command staff of the UoH decided to abolish the company system for their own reasons. Thus, there will be no more UNSCoH companies. Ask them, not me. For the Forge Team idea, see what the other members of the community think, it sounds like some support would be needed. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 23:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the promotion.....how do ZI get the gunnery sergent symbol into my profile....the Private box wont change.

You'll have to get the correct userbox to correspond to your new rank. The userboxes are located on the UoH member list page. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 00:01, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Why??

Why did you promote Wraith to a a Lieutenant!? He has done very little for the UoH, very little I wouldn't even promote him once after looking through his edits.--General Running Riot RyanFile:'s emblem.jpg 21:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

And now that I check over your most resent promotions, which I'm not interiorly sure you were still able to give, just about all of them shouldn't have been. You seem to be giving away Gunnery for nothing, and if not nothing, very little.--General Running Riot RyanFile:'s emblem.jpg 23:15, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I gave away some promotions to members of my company for continued devotion to Halopedia, which in the past, had been at my discretion. I don't know how the new system has changed the command staff's preception of how things are done, but that is reason enough for me. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 00:05, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I checked over many of the promotions you gave as your last act as their company XO, most did very little for the UoH and even some to Halopedia in general.--General Running Riot RyanFile:'s emblem.jpg 19:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello ED,

Why did you redirect the 1st Marine Battalion page to the M-EDF 9/21/1' page?

It's a perfectly alright article in my opinion. I mean yeah, all we have on it is a small small mention, but thats enough.

Have a good day!

Rawr,
File:CommanderTony Logo.PNGGeneral TonyTalk 11/29/2007

I was thinking about that just now actually. M-EDF 9/21/1 and the 1st Battalion are two names for the same unit, so I figured one should redirect to the other, and since M-EDF 9/21/1 was specifically names while "1st Marine Battalion" wasn't, I figured it would be a better idea. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 01:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure where or even if I remember reading that somewhere. I think I just put that there for speculation, or maybe I just assumed the majority of the Spartan-II's came from Eridanus II.

Re: IRC functions

Hey ED,

This page has some information on commands, but the basic ones you need are:

  • /msg ChanServ op #halopedia - Ops you
  • /kick blah - kicks "blah" (replace with the nick you want to kick)

For banning, use:

/ban nick!user@host

So, if you want to ban "Manticore", you'd type /mode #halopedia +b Manticore!*@*

If you wanted to ban a particular IP address or cloak, you'd use /ban *!*@wikia/Manticore (wikia/Manticore is my cloak).

If you're banning someone who is using the irc.wikia.com gateway, type /ban *!*12345678@gateway/*

Where 12345678 is the alphanumeric string that is the users hex IP address.

If you've got any questions or need to know more, you can leave me a message or email. :)
