Welcome

Welcome, Mojoro, to BattleTechWiki!

We look forward to your contributions and want to help you get off to a good strong start. Hopefully you will soon join the army of BattleTech Editors! If you need help formatting the pages, visit the manual of style. For general questions go to the Help section or the FAQ. If you can't find your answer there, please ask an Admin.

Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the wiki:

• For policies and guidelines, see The Five Core Policies of BattleTechWiki and the BTW Policies. Another good place to check out is our market of Projects, to see how the smaller communities within BTW do things in their particular niche areas.
• Each and every page (articles, policies, projects, images, etc.) has its very own discussion/talk page, found on the tab line at the top of the page. This is a great place to find out what the community is discussing along that subject and what previous issues have already been solved.
• If you want to play around with your new wiki skills, the Sandbox is for you. Don't worry: you won't break anything. A great resource for printing out is the Wiki Cheat Sheet.
• If you're not registered, then please consider doing so. At the very least, you'll have a UserPage that you own, rather than sharing one with the community.
• Also consider writing something about yourself on your UserPage (marked as "Mojoro" at the top of the page, though only do this if you're registered). You'll go from being a 'redshirt' to a 'blueshirt,' with the respect of a more permanent member.
  • This is really helpful for the admins, as it gives your account that touch of "humanity" that assists us in our never-ending battle with spambots.
• For your first few edits on the wiki, please do not add any URLs (which can be an indicator of SPAM).
• Consider introducing yourself on our Discord server.
• In your Preferences, under the edit tab, consider checking Add pages I create to my watchlist and Add pages I edit to my watchlist, so that you can see how your efforts have affected the community. Check back on following visits by clicking on watchlist.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random button in the sidebar, or check out the List of Wanted Pages. Or even go to Special Pages to see what weird stuff is actually tracked by this wiki.
• Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the circled button in this image; this will automatically produce your name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date.

Again, welcome to Sarna's BattleTechWiki!

Planet/System pages

Hi Mojoro, I see you have an interest in the wiki's system pages. With over 3,000 pages, we can use all the help we can get, so we appreciate it. Hop on Discord and join us in our channel so we can collaborate better. Or if you prefer to touch them up on your own randomly, that's ok, too. Csdavis715 (talk) 23:11, 8 November 2023 (EST)

TRO:3025

Re: Lee, Larsha, and Lincoln, it looks like you caught some changes between the "original" and "revised" editions of TRO:3025 (there were actually several additional versions). My understanding is that lore information in both sources is considered canonical. Unless we have confirmation that it should be one and not the other, the information should remain on the Lincoln page. If you happen to have such confirmation, such as from the BT Ask the Writers forum, feel free to redo the changes and cite that as your reference. Thanks Csdavis715 (talk) 21:59, 18 November 2023 (EST)

Just to follow up, it looks like the newer TRO 3039 (which seems to have been a replacement for both TRO 3025 books) again has the Stuka entry for 2930 but with the system being Lee, making this the official canon location. I've updated Lincoln/Larsha and put a note on the page for clarification. The Packrat entry in TRO 3039 doesn't mention the event in 2990, so this remains unresolved for now.

Planets count

Deadfire is saying that we have to keep the planet counts as a number. See discussion in Discord. Unfortunately, the changes you're doing will have to be reverted. Csdavis715 (talk) 07:46, 19 November 2023 (EST)

Things that may help you with the System and Planet pages

Hey Mojoro! I thought to show you some things that you may not know that exist and can be used to assist with the edits you are making:

First the infobox templates:

• {{InfoBoxSystem}} and its Semantic properties based on what is filled into its fields:
  • Property:Spectral class I remember you making a page on this, in order to not directly reference the source, I'm using the official table for this.
  • Property:Recharge time
  • Property:Number of Planets
• {{InfoBoxPlanet}}

Second, some useful table templates:

• {{Table cell templates}}
• Category:Multi-column templates

Third, the color related templates (I haven't yet got all of them on the wiki yet):

• {{Text_color_templates_see_also}}

Fourth, some external resources:

• tablesgenerator.com
• tableconvert.com/
• mw:Help:Table - general help page of Mediawiki's table functionality
• mw:Help:Sorting – general help page of Mediawiki's sort functionality

I hope these help, you can always ask me both in discord and on the wiki talk pages --Deadfire (talk) 10:22, 14 December 2023 (EST)
