BattleTechWiki:Project Characters

Welcome to the Biographies WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving BattleTechWiki's biographical articles, both on fictional characters and the real people behind BattleTech. Feel free to join in by adding your name to the group, grabbing an article to complete or weighing in on the discussion.

Goals

• Catalogue every character introduced into BattleTech
• Catalogue each real world person that has had a hand in shaping official Battletech

Scope

• Initially, the project will focus on the characters introduced in the FASA & FanPro products, and the supporting novels. The people who helped design, write and draw BattleTech will be covered, as well.

In order to make the BattleTechWiki as accessible as possible, proper categorisation is paramount. Since this is Project Biographies, one of our tasks will be focusing on categorising the bio articles of the real and fictional people of BattleTech.

• Right Now — categorisation that is meant be already underway:
  • Currently, the only 'required' categories are Category:PeopleFictional and Category:PeopleReal. All biographical articles should be listed in either one or the other categories, so that they can be easily found.

• On the Back Burner — categorisation that is slated to begin when the previous task is, at a minimum, near-complete:
