 | Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first. |

Lead
editCurrently the lead has range of refs which violates MOS:CITELEAD. Does anyone have any objections before I remove them? Spy-cicle💥 Talk? 16:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- I'm working on it. Some of the content isn't really represented in the article so that needs to be dealt with first. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 17:50, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
- Great thanks for doing that. Spy-cicle💥 Talk? 17:43, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Plot summary and terminal details
editThe plot details the events of the game itself; an add-on terminal from the rerelease is unnecessary and misleading, and if there's not a secondary source covering it, that also implies it's not relevant for inclusion. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 20:17, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Maybe we can put this in setting section. It is an important detail. --188.119.58.7 (talk) 20:31, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- How, exactly? It didn't get answered until 10 years later. It's not important to understanding the plot at all. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 21:22, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Halo First Strike reference is not important for the plot either, but it is part of the lore and it is in the setting section. This could be mentioned there too. --188.119.58.7 (talk) 22:15, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- The events of the novel directly lead into Halo 2, which is why it's mentioned. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 17:07, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

This issue seems to have arisen again based on recent edits by Halofo. My reading of the above discussion is that there is no consensus for this information to be included in the article. I invite further input from other editors. — Manticore 02:27, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- I do not believe it is important to the plot or setting. It mostly bridges the gap between Halo 2 and Halo 5: Guardians. Jazzy Jazz Jr (talk) 05:03, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
David Fuchs I don't have the expertise to evaluate this article for URFA/2020. Everything looks good except that Headbomb's script is highlighting some sources in red/pink (reliability depends on contributor --the author). I don't know how to evaluate those. Do you have Headbomb's script installed? User:Headbomb/unreliable SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:25, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- I had another script installed, but I'll give Headbomb's a try and look over it again. At first blush there's only one which I've been trying to remove anyhow and would be happy to get rid of. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 21:01, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- OK, I'm unwatching after I do URFA reviews, or my watchlist will become unmanageable, so please ping me when it's time for a new look. Maybe we can get another video person to look in first, since I really don't know what I'm looking for, other than standard stuff. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:06, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
Team size
editUser:David Fuchs do you know where to put this? [1] about ~ 70 people Timur9008 (talk) 17:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Good find Timur9008. Given the narrative structure of the development section, I think at the end or near the of the final dev paragraph before the Audio subsection would make the most sense. You agree? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 18:46, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Done thanks! Timur9008 (talk) 21:29, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Minor typo - "Halo 2 's"
editThere's a minor typo on the very first word of the third paragraph of the "Release" section.
It says "Halo 2 's" Instead of "Halo 2's"
I would've fixed it myself but it's a protected thing. Could someone do this please? Thanks. Frankcaterina (talk) 00:02, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Frankcaterina it's been fixed. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 12:34, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
