Guidelines

  • Cameron developed the current format used for the RPG Weapons from the format used for BattleTech Weapons. The current concept for infantry weapons has that there are five sections:
    • Description : a basic description of the Infantry Portable or BattleMech mounted Weapon
    • Variants : Generic Weapons that lead a category can have variants, Recomend that weapons that have been given their own stats are linked to from this section.
    • References : links to the books or other source material used in any way to contribute to the article
    • Infobox : created with pre-established fields that need to be filled in with the relevant info
  • One thing to consider is that the articles tend towards to an in-character (IC) role, though there are some obvious out-of-character (OOC) bits included (ex: BV). If there is a place for a stat in the infobox, do not use it in the description if you can avoid it.
  • Link everything, at least once. If the term is Star League, link to it. If House Marik is referenced in the text, link to it. Link to other unit types, like DropShips. If the same term is used a lot, especially in the same paragraph, feel free to link only once. But link, even if the linked article does not yet exist: it will someday!
  • In the variants section, list the whole designation again. For example, if the Auto-Pistol is the primary article, in the variant section, start off each entry with the differenced name Auto-Pistol (Sternsnacht).

Open tasks

  • Discuss what categories, outside those limited to Infantry Weapons, should be attached to each infantry weapon article article. (See talk page.)
  • Edit for mis-spellings, grammatical and formatting mistakes for current articles.
  • Place the Project Infantry Weapon messagebox (see Tags below) on each Infantry Weapon discussion page.

Categories

In order to make the BattleTechWiki as accessible as possible, proper categorization is paramount. Since this is Project Infantry Weapon, one of our tasks will be focusing on categorizing infantry weapons.


  • Right Now — categorization that is meant be already underway:
    • Currently, the only 'required' category is Category:Infantry Weapons. All Infantry Weapons should be in this category upon article creation.


On the Back Burner

Categorization that is slated to begin when the previous task is, at a minimum, near-complete:


Note

'Official' categories you can add 'Infantry Weapons to may be found at the Project Infantry Weapons Portal.
