Welcome to Halo Fan Fiction Wikia (HFFW), a wikia dedicated to fiction pertaining to the Halo franchise. This wikia was co-founded by bureaucrats RelentlessRecusant and H*bad on January 11, 2007, although since its inception, bureaucrat H*bad has resigned.

[edit] Starting up
Halo Fanon, then named Halo Fan Fiction, was slowly building up steam as word of mouth spread across the halo wikia. At first there were mainly just users from Halopedia moving their fan fiction to Halo Fanon, basically called "Dumping" as the beginning users liked to call it. Soon the Fanon rules were written and the "dumping" was ended with either them moving it over here and editing it to a standard, moved to their namespace, or it was just simply kept at Halopedia. Problems arouse with the first vandal that vandalized Halopedia, then moved over here to Halo Fan Fiction. So RelentlessRecusant and H*bad concluded that there was a need for more administrators so Rotaretilbo and Donut THX 1138 were added to the Administration listing. Soon to be added was, Leon2323 for technical help, Spartan-091 was added, and finally Ajax 013 and Dragonclaws joined in on the Halo Fanon Administration team.
[edit] First Year
Finally during the first year of Halo Fan Fiction, the idea sprung up that a name change was in order. So, H*bad contacted a Staff member to help and change up the title of Halo Fan Fiction to Halo Fanon. This sparked a bit of a debate later on with the name, but it was decided that Halo Fanon would be kept as the title of the website. During this time, of the first year, multiple problems sparked up with the Administration and the Community. The Community felt that they weren't allowed to have their voice heard. Some Administrators felt that the community needed to be heard on all issues, but others felt that the community shouldn't need a say so because the Administration was a representation of the community. This "Great Schism" of the Administrators and Community lasted on until about the middle of July when Administrator H*bad stepped down. During this time after the Schism, everything calmed down to a regular rate and life on the wiki continued.
[edit] Post-Schism
The Post-Schism times came with a change up of the Administration team. A vote was held in order to figure out if there was a need for a RFdA (Request for De-Administration). Votes were held to RFdA Administrator Leon2323 and Administrator Donut THX 1138. It was concluded at the end of the vote that they will be De-Administrated after the RFA process, a process new to Halo Fanon. The RFA included, Sgt. Johnson, Lordofmonsterisland, The Parkster, Spartan-077, and Subtank as possible future Administrators. Sgt.Johnson decided during the RFA that he should step down from the campaign process and allow Lordofmonsterisland, The Parkster, Spartan-077, and Subtank to be voted on. After the RFA was finished, the new administrators were named to be Lordofmonsterisland, Spartan-077, and Subtank.
[edit] April Fools '07
H*bad made the wiki into a full April Fools day. The Main page had the new messages which lead to the April Fools page. The Logo and background were also changed. As were other various parts of the wiki.
[edit] April Fools '08
No site-wide April Fool's was carried out this year: however, due to the anticipation surrounding the Necros project, Ajax 013 did pull an April Fool's joke of a sort where he placed joking pictures and comments on the Necros article itself, all of which stated that the Necros were brain-eating cats that had laser eyes and horrible spelling.
[edit] April Fool's '09
Lordofmonsterisland, in a last minute decision, attempted a rather low-key April Fool's prank: both the Sitenotice and the New Talk Page Message were changed to say that Jason Jones and Joseph Staten had created a joint account called "Seventh Column" so that the users of the wiki could convey suggestions for future Halo projects to them. LOMI created the article User:Seventh Column and had it redirect to the April Fools page; most users were not fooled, but it was still enjoyed by them.

[edit] Namespace
On April 12-13, Halo Fanon's namespace was changed from "Halo Fan Fiction:" to "Halo Fanon:". There was a small problem when it double redirected all of the pages, but that was fixed on April 13, 2007.
