In the hope to clean up all the images on the wiki (as per the Halopedia Improvement Project). Is it ok if we wipe the galleries in your user page. This is in the hopes that we can find new home, wipe a lot of images, and also rename a lot of the images.

Hey there. It'd be great if you could avoid putting in lots of trivia such as "this is the only level where X does Y", and such. These kinds of information are often easily dated with future releases, or not particularly noteworthy. Similarly, for notes about gameplay differences in enemies/ vehicles, consider use of a "Glitches" section, or put such information in a Gameplay page or section if one exists. Thanks a lot.

Trivia sections[edit]

Hey there. It'd be great if you could avoid putting in lots of trivia such as "this is the only level where X does Y", and such. These kinds of information are often easily dated with future releases, or not particularly noteworthy. Similarly, for notes about gameplay differences in enemies/ vehicles, consider use of a "Glitches" section, or put such information in a Gameplay page or section if one exists. Thanks a lot.
