This template is for formal BattleTechWiki guidelines that can be classified more specifically by topic. For the rare case of a guideline that does not suit any of these categorizations, you can use {{Guideline}}.

Usage[edit]
{{Guideline|section=|guideline category|category sort key|shortcut|...|shortcut5}}
Template parameters[edit]
- For guideline category, use one of the following:
- behavioral guideline
- content guideline
- deletion guideline
- editing guideline
- naming convention
- notability guideline
- For category sort key such as notability or naming conventions guidelines, use what is in the parenthetical disambiguator, and capitalise it.
- For the optional shortcut, use an established shortcut; it is not necessary to wrap it in
[[...]]. For example: BTW:FOO- For the next optional shortcut, use another established shortcut. You can use up to five shortcuts in total, each as a separate parameter.
- The parameter
|section=ycan be used to tweak the wording to refer to a section instead of the whole page. This is only used when an guideline of a particular sort (e.g. a naming convention) is a section in a larger combined guideline, it is not to be used for each section in guideline page that is all of the same category.
New or greatly modified guidelines require community approval[edit]
If you or a wikiproject have drafted a new guideline or substantially revised one, the BattleTechWiki community must have significant time to consider the proposal and arrive at a consensus about it. See the BTW:PROPOSAL policy for the current best practices on neutrally soliciting input on a proposal from as wide a selection of the community as is practical.
For more suggestions and background on how to go from a proposal to a BattleTechWiki guideline, see Category:Proposals and BattleTechWiki:How to contribute to BattleTechWiki guidance.
