Multi-posting
Please refrain from editing more than once on a page within a short time. If you are not sure how your edit will look, use the preview button.

Kind regards, 02:48, March 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * This is your second warning, do it again and I will be forced to give you a temporary ban.
 * Kind regards, 10:55, April 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Apologies! I'm still kinda new to the wiki, and not brilliant at editing yet. I'll make sure to use the preview button in future, as I was only editing edits I had just made because of mistakes I'd made. I won't do it again. Dab1998 (talk) 11:03, April 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * If in-case this happens again, just write in the summery something like "fixing link" or like "forgot to put a period" or something around those lines. It would help, promise.


 * Kind regards, 11:33, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Player Card
The player card is. As for 3, ODST, and Reach, there is no player card for them.

To change your signature, you just add in a code to change the style of your signature and add it to your preferences. I use a page (User:Haloprov/Sig) to have my signature compress so that it's not just a pile of text every time I use the ~. I personally also use additional sig pages like User:Haloprov/Sig3 as my main page for codes so I don't have to update the preference so often. If you need more help, check out Help:Signatures for more info.

Kind regards, 19:49, April 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Dab1998 (talk) 20:30, April 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * So you would have to add in onto your signature portion of your preference. Here's how mines would display:

 * Can you come onto chat? I see just an slight issue :\


 * 21:43, April 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry, wasn't at my computer when you said this. What is the issue, and do you still need me to come on chat?

Halo songs
So we have some songs that kept getting in Youtube's copyright problem so I'll ask you this. Do you have any Halo Soundtracks? I want to place them permanently so that they would never disperse from anything, evah!

Kind regards, 18:35, May 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Do you mean on Youtube? If so, then no, but I have the OSTs of Halo CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3 on iTunes, which I could probably upload as .mp3s if it would help.


 * 19:52, May 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * It won't work. .mp3 files can't be uploaded to my knowledge. If you could be so kindly to sent me those songs so I could convert them into the appropriate file so I can place them in there slots.


 * Kind regards, 21:11, May 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok. Do you need any specific songs, or just all of them, and where shall I send them to you?
 * 05:42, May 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * All of them seems ideal and I doubt an Email could hold that much. If you have a Gmail, create a Google Doc and place the files there and share the page with me. Otherwise, just send them by email then.


 * Email me here


 * Kind regards, 11:59, May 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * It says 'You cannot send e-mail to other users on this wiki.'
 * 20:14, May 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Didn't notice that Wikia disabled that featured. Here's my email: eliashalo10@gmail.com
 * Kind regards, 22:11, May 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * They are larger than the 25MB attatchment limit (they're 508MB). Is there any other way I can send them to you?
 * 11:16, May 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmh... Can you get on chat? Like now?
 * Kind regards, 11:19, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

About the Halo 4 Soundtrack
Hey Dab1998! Remember that discussion we've had days ago? Regarding the Halo 4 Soundtrack? Well I completely changed my mind now. I'm listening to its soundtrack and it sounds awesome! I like 117 and Arrival especially, so I just wanted to say that you were right, Halo 4 does have good tracks mixed in. Still hate Revival though...

Thanks for your time. Commando Trooper (talk) 20:04, May 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Personally, I think Halo 4 has the worst soundtrack of the Halo series, but only because the good tracks are few and far between. It has its moments but it isn't as good as the rest.


 * 20:24, May 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yep, all the other Halo soundtracks have tons and tons of amazing tracks, but Halo 4 only                     has those few. Commando Trooper (talk) 20:37, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Era and AppearanceIcon Templates
I guess back in 2007, those page were high in vandal. Well, that's not the case now so I unprotected them. Fell free to edit them with caution ;).

Also, as a request, change the Book and comic icons. You have me on Skype so any question's, tell me there.

Kind regards, 21:03, May 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks!

MCC MP Maps Categories
Maps shouldn't need to be added individually to the MCC Maps category since they already appear in the subcategory of their respective game. -- Vektor0 (talk) 17:09, July 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * The MCC includes all of the MP maps though. The simple fact that they are a Halo 1 MP map (for example) makes it self-evident that they are included in the MCC. It's redundant and doesn't conform to the standards in Halo Nation:Re-Categorisation. -- Vektor0 (talk) 17:18, July 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that would be best. I apologize for my abrasiveness; I don't mean to be rude. I appreciate your agreeability. -- Vektor0 (talk) 17:25, July 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, all of those should be cleared out. I believe the idea is to keep everything in the furthest subcategory possible. T3CHNOCIDE is very helpful if you have questions. -- Vektor0 (talk) 17:29, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

The CE Anniversary multiplayer maps are just DLC, so I'm thinking we should either delete the CE Anniversary Multiplayer Maps category or make categories for every map pack. I would assume the former. -- Vektor0 (talk) 13:10, July 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Right, but we don't say that the Halo 3 Mythic disc included with Halo 3: ODST is Halo 3: ODST multiplayer, right? It's still Halo 3 multiplayer, just with DLC. In the same way, CEA doesn't have its own multiplayer; it's just Halo: Reach multiplayer with DLC. Being included on the same disc or in the same package as something else doesn't change what that thing is, just like including a demo of another game on a disc doesn't make that demo a part of the game. -- Vektor0 (talk) 20:38, July 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * CEA doesn't have its own multiplayer. CEA consists of a Campaign and DLC. "CEA multiplayer" is a misnomer--it's like saying "Blastacular multiplayer" or "Champions Bundle multiplayer." It's not CEA multiplayer; it's Halo: Reach multiplayer on Anniversary DLC maps. I don't see why one disc instead of two makes CEA any different from ODST. The number of discs is simply a matter of available space and has nothing to do with whether one thing was intended to be as another thing (for example, the MCC will have four games on the same disc and accessible from the same UI, but that doesn't mean that Halo: CE multiplayer = Halo 4 multiplayer). -- Vektor0 (talk) 21:41, July 3, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Separate Page for M6H2
For now, lets leave it to be until we get more information about it.

Kind regards, 23:09, February 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * No. Both are M6G but the real only difference is the uses. Upon looking into it, Reach's M6G haves a print of 2546 on its side like how Halo 3's have 2552 on it. I think it's better off writing the years variation than saying "Army" and "Marine" variants but still noted as being used by them. M6H2 is most likely an upgraded version of the M6H so I'm still contemplative if it should be it's own page. When more info comes out for the M6H2, then we'll see if there's enough to have it's own page.
 * Kind regards, 23:44, February 6, 2015 (UTC)

Unidentified Covenant ship class (Truth) Citatons/Notes
May you add in the citation and notes that you added from the other pages like Purity of Spirit.

Kind regards, 20:13, February 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Done it. Sorry for the bother, I should've probably done it in the first place.


 * 17:42, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Map Remixes Category
Yeah, I like that idea. Go ahead and add them.

Kind regards, 19:42, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Skull Images
I've change the CEA_Fog.png to HCEA_Fog.png. If there is anymore, notify me. I will also add in the images when I get home; currently at school (14:33:00 EST).

Kind regards, 19:33, February 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * The files don't need to be rename but I'll rename them too give it a better name. As for Halo Rings.jpg to H3 IWHBYD Location.jpg, I'm going to rename it as H3_IWHBYD_Effect.jpg because it isn't its location.I also uploaded the H2A skull menu images. HCEA, H3, and H4 skull menu will be later.


 * Kind regards, 19:52, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Wikia Maps for Halo Multiplayer Maps
That's actually pretty cool to see but I'm just curious on how it would be implemented into the page? Would it be a link on the template or a selection in the gallery? Can you make the icons be more informative (ex. Banshee icon, Fuel Rod Cannon icon, etc.)?

Looking forward to your response. Kind regards, 20:39, March 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Make a test look for it on Bravo's Sandbox page so we can get a glimpse on how it'll look.


 * Kind regards, 22:54, March 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * I have no knowledge of the Wikia Maps before yesterday so I don't know much about it though it might be an admin only thing or the function is not embedded on this wiki; but this is just my 2 cents.


 * Also, is it that big? Can it be resize?


 * Kind regards, 17:51, March 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the overall categories pin is the go-to way I suppose. Can you demonstrate the size difference on Bravo's sandbox page just for reference to see it within the page. I imagine it fairly small; kinda like images within the articles (more like the weapon appearances change gallery in some pages).


 * Kind regards, 21:22, March 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, lets do the second; create a template similar to the walkthroughs and quotes for the wikia map.


 * Kind regards, 10:00, March 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Go ahead; It's unlocked.


 * Kind regards, 17:36, March 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Done!


 * Kind regards, 22:03, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

Wikia Map
You may want to check your edit on the template. Multiplayer pages now have a " {{#if:|| " randomly placed.

Kind regards, {{User:Haloprov/Sig4}} 22:08, March 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Go ahead and give it a shot. If it doesn't look good, try another. Sorry for the shot message; gotta get rid of this dam spam...


 * Kind regards, {{User:Haloprov/Sig4}} 16:53, March 14, 2015 (UTC)

Banshee Types
Well first thing, the icons looks Fabulous!; and for the man-cannon/teleporter, I personally think that the teleporter get its own category while the man cannon should stays in the dynamic elements category.

And about the Banshee Types, I'm mixed between the idea; after all, they pretty much are similar in all fashion besides some nicks and appearances. If anything, I'm more in favor to keeping the Banshees on one page... for now.

Kind regards, 20:51, March 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * The icon looks good but it will forever remind me of the Gravity Lift ;u;


 * Kind regards, 22:39, March 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * I think we should base it around Slayer/CTF mostly; revolving around mostly vehicle, weapons, teleporters, etc. and not the objective like the flags for CTF, the Skull in Oddball, Terrortories, etc.


 * And feel free to make the manual of style.


 * Kind regards, 22:07, March 18, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Halo Online
I've updated it. The only issue left is the "Top Navigation" bar for the "343 Novels" section because it has filled up (the max is 10) and so all the more recent book announcements can't be seen. I was thinking on replacing Glasslands, Cryptum, Primordium, etc. with Kilo-Five and the Forerunner Saga. Thoughts?

And glad to hear that you're still going through with the manual.

Kind regards, 22:31, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Maps Manual of Style and Orginisational Things
The Manual looks good! I patch it in to the other Admins to look out anything I missed.

As for the image policy, one of the Admins here, T3CHNOSIDE, is also an admin on Destinypedia and he literally went trough all images to add in the templates before the game's release, which he did remark it as a a 4-day-straight hassle. As Halo Nation is relatively old, a policy like that to organize images isn't a bad idea, but can be, and will be, an very ongoing effort to get the 20,000+ images that been uploaded on the wikia in the past 10 years. I personally don't pay attention to that when I upload images but if there is a more opinion on the mater, then the Administration will defiantly consider it.


 * NINGA EDIT - The I personally don't pay attention to that when I upload images... is referring to the description addition to images, not the filename. I have a uniform way of nameing Images. ^^

Kind regards, 22:54, March 29, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Re:Template Confusion
I understand that, thank you, but after looking at the Disambig header template, I am unsure how to integrate it into this template. Without it, the template would have to be a set number of rows, and not be able to differ depending upon the achievements. The disambig header {{#if: just confuses me (I keep thinking the {{#if: s have the wrong number), so would you know what to do.

Re: Template Help
I edit the template so go ahead and check it out; not sure what its purpose really is. Also, it's better to message me on Bravo for Bravo Wiki's help.

Just saying. Kind regards, 20:37, April 8, 2015 (UTC)

Halo: Hunters in the Dark
How did you get hold of it so early? Or am I missing something?

 * Well good for you man :D

Uploading Images of Low Quality
Hi there Dab1001, when uploading images, please remember we prefer ones of higher quality, unless used for personal reasons, images of low quality are usually deleted from the mainspace and from the Wiki itself.

Kind regards, 18:18, July 11, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Ref Template
Hmmm... I can't figure out whats causing the  to pop up after the sig. I'll tell the other admins (most likely Grif, T3CH, or Wilc0) to see if they know how to fix it.

As for feedback and adopting it, it does look interesting but it really doesn't simplify the work to put in citation as there is alot to write comparing it to a regular ref (using the Ref/games as an example); to

Seems more complicated especially for newcomers to remember than adding in the refs but I personally wouldn't mind if it were adopted or not. Though I am just one voice, I'll patch into the Admin council to see what their opinions about the matter.

I've also placed my voice in your request so go check it out!  (It's a support btw).

Kind regards, 21:13, July 25, 2015 (UTC)

Ref template
Hey Dab,

I've taken a look at your ref template. I can help out, but I just need a list of all of the templates you're using. Can you give each tier too please?

For example:


 * 1) Template:Ref
 * 2) Template:Ref/Game
 * 3) etc.

Cheers,

20:35, July 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey, yeah I took out any white space. It must have taken some time to cache as my fix wasn't pushing through when I looked at it.


 * If you have any other issues, feel free to ping me a message and I'll take a look.


 * 21:17, July 26, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Halo Wars 2
First thing, I deleted the logo because it was really LQ and the edges were jagged all over. On the wikia, there isn't a Halo 2 with just the 2 with the O logo around (or I haven't found one), so I'll be create it myself and replacing it in.

And about the Halo Wars 2 era icon, I think we should wait a little bit before making an official icon but for a temporary image, try having it say [HW2] in a Halo font. It may not look pretty but it's only until we get more images (unless we want to use the Halo Wars icon and plaster the 2 onto it :P).

Kind regards, 00:53, August 9, 2015 (UTC)

Halo: Last Light
Hey Dab, whatever you do dont go to the Halo Last light wiki page until you finish reading it. I'm going to be adding the full character. locations and technologies list along with summary over the next couple of days. LZ32 (talk) 02:29, September 16, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Tabber not working
Hey,

This is probably due to the new JS update where Wikia have blocked JS. I'll ask around and see how to fix it.

Cheers, 23:07, September 20, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Last Light Code
The code should be on a sheet of paper attached at the very end of the book. does your book have a purple label on the back cover that says there's a code included? --  Veni. Vidi. Corregi.  Talk  Edit Count 18:34, September 21, 2015 (UTC)

Well i got mine from Barnes and Nobles and also pre-ordered it but maybe it depends on the country. i'll upload a pic of what the code is supposed to like when i get home --  Veni. Vidi. Corregi.  Talk  Edit Count 18:47, September 21, 2015 (UTC)

Battle of Gao
i think we should change it back to the three way battle template cause now it looks like a four-way slugfest. and aponte was never a commander, it was all cassille doing everything behind the presidents back, until he deposed him and moved against the UNSC openly.-- 18:47, September 28, 2015 (UTC)

Gao didn't even participate in the battle until Cassille kicked Aponte out of office. And how was it a four way battle? the keepers and gao were on the same side.-- 19:29, September 28, 2015 (UTC)

without aponte's knowledge or approval. Should we move this over to the chat? -- 19:36, September 28, 2015 (UTC)

RE:Halo 5 review
Hello Dab,

I am sorry about that, I had no idea it was your intention to do the Halo 5: Guardian review as well; I have thoroughly enjoyed your reviews so far! What kind of team-up did you have in mind?

Greetings,


 * PS, Maybe it is time to think of archiving your talk page, use my archiving system as an example if you will. Your talk page looks a bit too long tbh.


 * I think it would look a lot nicer if we did the review on the same page, and then have each of our opinions under each header. This would need some planning though, as I want the review out asap. Do you have a Skype name where I can reach you? If you don't want to say over wiki, put it in pastebin, send me the link and delete it right after.
