Creating a list of gaps in Halopedia
The biggest pain to contributing is learning where to begin work.
So there are two ways we can improve this:
- Create an index of everything in the halo universe, using sources such as in-game text and the books.
- Contribute to a list of topics that need to be covered, and articles that need to be created/expanded, so contributors know what needs working on.
Can the distinguished users of Halopedia help out in any of these? The 2nd would be more realistic of course, since it would only take 2 minutes of your time as and when you find "gaps", to add them to the list.
- Alternatives
- Articles Needing Cleanup
- Under Construction
- Wanted Pages - has a lot of spam which makes it difficult to wade through.

Incorporating Trivia into the article
As per the Wikipedia guideline, "Sections with lists of miscellaneous information (such as "trivia" sections) should be avoided as an article develops. Such information is better presented in an organized way."
This gave me some ideas regarding what I can do with the "Trivia" scattered everywhere around Halopedia.
I need to know whether I am allowed to go ahead and begin doing the following:
- Extract points from trivia and merge them into the article?
- Any specific types of trivia that should not go into the article?
- Create new ==Level 2== headers to organize trivia where necessary?
- Or create ===Level 3=== Headers under ==Trivia==?
- Trivia that is too unrelated to anything else can remain inside Trivia sections?
