Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Halo. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list under this paragraph.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

All new editors: please read this before creating or editing articles! Be sure to write about things in Halo in an out-of-universe perspective!

Project overview

Goals

  1. To craft well-written and properly organized profiles for all relevant characters, races, technology, devices and other notable items in the Halo universe.
  2. To create a consistent look for Halo-related articles.
  3. To streamline the navigation of Halo-related articles.
  4. Make all Halo content Featured.

Scope

  • This WikiProject aims primarily to improve and organize articles relating to the Halo series and all its spin-offs. It attempts to coordinate the writing efforts, organize and create standards for making good articles. It endeavours to create a good reference for the Halo universe.
  • Even though all topics will be worked on, this project will make a particular effort regarding the main game articles.
  • We do not need fancruft or pages on minor things, such as Flash clone.

Articles

A by the article denotes it has reached FA status; a indicates it has reached GA status. Note that the following articles counts do not include redirects and former articles which were merged. There is also a Featured Topic; Characters of Halo.

A watchlist is available to view recent changes on articles within the scope of this project. You can also browse assessed pages at Wikipedia:WikiProject Halo/Popular pages, or view the transcluded rubric at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Halo articles by quality statistics.


Adoptions

You might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research and writing for either a non-existent article, a stub or just an article in general that you are interested in. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced. You can also adopt an article if the work on it is primarily yours, but allow others to work on it in the best of Wiki spirit (in other words, you want to keep a close eye on it).

To adopt an article, paste the following: <font color="#006600">~~~</font> next to the article to let everyone know that you have adopted that article.
