Welcome[edit]

Welcome, Panzergraf, 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 "Panzergraf" 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!

WarShips[edit]

Good morning Panzergraf, and welcome to Sarna. I noticed that you've been adding to some of the individual WarShip articles here, which I appreciate - and that you even added the beginnings of a new individual ship entry for the Aleisha Kris, complete with nicely formatted references. I've been adding ship articles here for a year or so now alongside Frabby, and it's great to see others doing the same. To encourage you to do more, and to show you that I appreciate the start you've already made, I'd like to present you with this shiny All Purpose Award - and I'll go and install your awards board now, so that you can display it.
All Purpose Award, 1st ribbon
Just to let you know, I tweaked the infobox in the Aleisha Kris article to change the class to just Feng Huang; a lot of ships have upgrades over the course of their lives, but unless those upgrades are radical enough to either change the ship's class, as with something like the Avatar to Liberator upgrades, or are sufficient to generate a new Block production, those aren't listed as seperate classes here in the infobox. That's just to cut down on confusion - but noting that upgrades were performed and a source for them in the text of the ship's history is great, and exactly the sort of detail that should be in the article.
