MWO Fan term[edit]
Splat cat is a MWO fan term, and really beyond the scope of the table top focused Sarna. Agree to deletion. Cyc (talk) 15:02, 18 March 2013 (PDT)
- Me too. Maybe it is worth to mention it in the Notes section of the Catapult article.Harry (talk) 15:36, 18 March 2013 (PDT)
- I think that if this belongs anywhere, it's in a lexicon page attatched to the MWO page - given that we don't tend to even have seperate pages for terms like hegira and isorla but instead link to a general lexicon, expanding sarna to include fan-generated nicknames for particular variants in a tertiary product makes us less of a BattleTech wiki and more of an Urban Dictionary.

- Didn't know about it being a MWO fan term. In that case it does fall under BTW's purview; we're not, imho, restricted to a "table top focus" as per our Policy:Notability. Sarna aims to include any and all BattleTech. That said, the term's notability is arguable. I tend to agree with Harry: A note within the Catapult article may be the best solution. This article here should perhaps be made a redirect. Frabby (talk) 01:24, 19 March 2013 (PDT)
- At one time, the Splatcat was one of the dominant builds in MWO, along with its sibling the Streakcat (all SSRM-2s). The introduction of the "ghost heat" mechanic was specifically to address mechs with extremely powerful alpha strikes, of which the Splatcat was one of the main ones (the others being builds with double AC20s, and those with 4 or even 6 PPCs). For its time the term was very notable, but notability shifts as the meta shifts due to balance patches. --101.187.185.193 22:47, 29 May 2018 (EDT)
