Is this a serious question? Your dipstick says its half ful and youre asking if you should add more? Add it until its at or slightly above the full mark.

Did you top it up after you ran it? The level goes down a tad after the filter fills.

For the average street car, just a fraction over full is sweet as. Guys chasing every 0.1 of a kW will not normally run over full because of windage

I just checked mine, and it's between H and L aswell. I'm a little worried, it was full when I checked last year.

mine was always up near H, then i did an oil change and now after putting 5 litres back into it, its only just nearly reaching halfway between H and L, closer to L, should i add more, my catch can all of a sudden doesnt fill up with oil anymore and under heavy load, oil spurts outta the dipstick.
