Improvements
I'll make a nicer grid-based layout soon! takua108 05:25, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Looks terrible at 1024x768
I'm assuming that everyone who has seen this page so far has a screen resolution greater than 1024x768, because I'm at school right now reading this, and it looks absolutely terrible. I'll fix it later, perhaps. takua108 18:25, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions
OK, I have tried to edit the CSS, but so far, no results. I've tried to edit the bottom of the main page (Hubs, Featured, Wikia is hiring), and the text there is black and as you can see, the links are all blue. So what do I need to edit if I want to change bottom links and text to different color? This is kinda bothering me. So, if you handle CSS well could you help?

And some extra stuff. What do you think if we would add a poll to the main page? I see that other wikis have polls and some other stuff. What about picture of the day or userbox?

 * Poll sounds great to me. Here's some ideas. Favorite Character, Boss Infected, Level, Tier1/2 Weapon. Blah blah blah it all seems pretty obvious.

 * I can edit the CSS tonight, ShadoW. takua108 18:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Poll
I added the poll, though if you need to edit it, feel free to do so. Let's just say it's a "test poll". ShadoW 18:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Changing poll. Please change the poll after two months or so. 69.12.204.67 06:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Walk-Throughs
Do we have any walk-throughs for the chapters? If not, are they necessary? I know the AI Director would make it a little more complicated, but I believe it could be done...if it hasn't already. I mean, all of the other major game wikis I've seen so far--like Halopedia and The Combine OverWiki--have walk-throughs for their levels and chapters. Just wondering. - Stigma-231 † God is dead • [ talk  ] [ cont  ] 20:01, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see much of a reason for one, considering that most of the levels are linear. There are no puzzles to solve, no people to talk to, etc. Each chapter can have a strategy section, which would cover everything useful that a walkthrough could. --HarrisonH 20:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Good point. After seeing the Tactics article, though, I sort of felt that a walk-through became somewhat irrelevant.  However, a strategy section to the articles...  That would pretty much go over the things one would otherwise put into a walk-through for that campaign, and also lengthen the pages, which I've noticed are all stubs.  Thing is, would we put the whole strategy section(s) on the campaign pages and the chapters of it, or just one or the other? - Stigma-231  † God is dead • [ talk  ] [ cont  ] 00:16, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd say just the chapters. It'd make sense, look for the strategy for a chapter on that chapters page. --HarrisonH 00:22, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright. Let's see what we can do... - Stigma-231  † God is dead • [ talk  ] [ cont  ] 01:08, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Should a template be made to state that an article needs a strategy section? One should be made for an example, maybe for The Apartments since it is the first chapter in the first campaign. The template would link to it, so people get an idea of what they're writing. Once every chapter has a strategy section to it, we could delete the template; there really wouldn't be a need for it anymore. - Stigma-231 † God is dead • [ talk  ] [ cont  ] 20:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

IRC Channel
Do we have an IRC channel yet? It could be very useful. Just curious, it's not on the Wikia channel listing. - Stigma-231 † God is dead • [ talk  ] [ cont  ] 04:59, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Nope, we don't have. ShadoW 19:51, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you going to look into it anytime soon? - Stigma-231 † God is dead • [ talk  ] [ cont  ] 19:59, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Featured Video
Changed it, because that toddler scared me, and it was there for quite a while now. Uhh...keep discussions of the Featured Video here.  CAFINATOR    Indeed  05:01, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought it was time to change the video, so there you go.  CAFINATOR    Indeed  08:42, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
