Master list for canonicity status

The purpose of this page is to catalog all Halo media relevant to Bungie Halopedia, and describe it's canonical status where applicable. As it currently stands, all media up to the release of Halo 4 is currently under review. This list is not considered to be 100% comprehensive, and will grow as more content is added. Everything from soundtrack liner notes to action figure description text will be considered for use as canonical sources, and therefore even media such as those should be collected for review.

Canonicity status will be guided by the Bungie Halopedia canon policy.

Notes and caveats:
 * Halo 4 marketing material will not be included, as they should all be considered non-canonical to Bungie Halopedia.
 * Any figurine releases (Joyride, McFarlane, etc.) are unlisted. Dates for these were seemingly not recorded. Items such as these may need to go on a parallel list outside of any confirmed release order.
 * Many marketing materials are not listed. Some of these fall under redundant or clear non fiction advertisements, which does not imply a need to be collected here.
 * The list currently includes unconfirmed release dates for Halo 3: Believe material. The listed dates seem correct, but are unsourced.
 * Unknown release dates for Halo: The Flood and Halo: First Strike 2011 Definitive editions. It's likely they were released June 28th, 2011 along with Halo: The Fall of Reach Definitive edition (and is the reason why they are listed as such), but there is no sourced proof for this.
 * There are no web posts by official employees, as part of specified official lore posts or otherwise. Should be done, but to what end is yet to be determined.
 * Specifics over items (manuals, collectibles) deriving from releases of the games. Could be done, but might not be necessary.
 * Any Bungie-era material currently missed by, or unknown to Bungie Halopedia is not collected.
 * Unknown release dates for Halo: The Flood and Halo: First Strike 2011 Definitive editions. It's likely they were released June 28th, 2011 along with Halo: The Fall of Reach Definitive edition (and is the reason why they are listed as such), but there is no sourced proof for this.
 * There are no web posts by official employees, as part of specified official lore posts or otherwise. Should be done, but to what end is yet to be determined.
 * Specifics over items (manuals, collectibles) deriving from releases of the games. Could be done, but might not be necessary.
