Wikia Spotlight

You might have noticed a new feature called Wikia Spotlight above the ads. We are featuring eight wikis here to see whether this is useful in bringing in new users. Halopedia is one of the first ones to be shown in this feature, and I'd appreciate your feedback at Wikia:Forum:Wikia Spotlight about whether you think this is useful, and whether it has brought any new users to your wiki. The eight wikis we're trying this with first are World Wikia, Marvel Universe, Halopedia, Cell Phone Enthusiasts, iPod, PokerWiki, The Film Guide, and RuneScapeWiki.

I think it's a great idea! Any publicity will help us out! Is there are any user tools to tell if there is an increase in site traffic? Also, do you have a solution to the Search_logo.png, shown further up the page? --John117 21:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

According to the tracker on the Main Page there was an increase of traffic but thats gone down.--Esemono 04:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome Template

This is just a question, not a recommendation. Should there be a welcome template on this page? -Blemo

No, because the welcome template should send them here, and this is an information page, not a welcome center. That is what the main page is for. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 03:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Votes for merge

Don't merge Halopedia:About explains what the wiki is about, for the newbies. Halo Alpha is an article about the fansite from a different perspective, more about the history of the site, notability, etc., than stuff for newbies. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 20:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Don't merge per GPT. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 21:07, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Don't merge - Halo Alpha is the content of our Wikipedia article before it was deleted, if I recall correctly. -- Manticore ^{Talk | Contributions} 02:38, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Gifts

If there is a page explain the gifts, where it is? And if there isn't, what are the gifts about? 343guilty-caboose 18:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
