List of Template Tags

[[Category:Insert Category Name Here]]

Use this tag to automatically link an article with articles linked to the same name. Even if you don't know if a category exists, consider adding it, because you'll start the category yourself by doing so. Insert the tag at the bottom of the page, with the category's name in place of Insert Category Name Here.

{{cleanup}}</nowiki>

Use this tag to mark a page for generic cleanup. Currently, any problem falls into this category

{{deletion|Enter your reason here}}

Use this tag to mark a page for review for deletion by an Admin. Write your reason for deletion over Enter your reason here. Please review Help:Deletion before placing this tag.

{{details|article}}

Use this tag if you wish to highlight link providing more detail than the sub-section in which it's placed. Ex: in the Clans article, a subsection on Clan Blood Spirit would have a link saying "For more details on this topic, see Clan Blood Spirit." The link would then direct the Reader to the full Clan Blood Spirit article. To use this tag, replace article with the name of the page which is being linked.

#REDIRECT [[real article name here]]

This redirects a link to a different article than the one linked. The usual purpose for this is to directly link an acronym or abbreviation (ex: AFFS or 'Mech) to an article with the full name (ex: Armed Forces of the Federated Suns or BattleMech). This redirect will then automatically send all so-named links (throughout BattleTechWiki) directly to the proper page. Place the tag on the empty article.

{{stub}}

Place this tag at the top of an article you feel needs to be expanded in order to be fully considered an article. Expand on your concerns in the article's discussion page.

{{verify}}

Place this tag at the top of an article or in a section you feel needs to be referenced, possibly due to a statement that may not be commonly known. Expand on your concerns in the article's discussion page.
