I'm a little confused. You're changing links for [[Hegemony Armed Forces]] to [[Terran Hegemony Armed Forces]]. However, the name of the armed forces of the [[Terran Hegemony]] prior to the formation of the [[Star League]] was the Hegemony Armed Forces - just like the armed forces of the Federated Suns was the Federated Peacekeeping Forces and then the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns. I'm not sure why you're making the change, because you're pointing the links away from the correct name. Are you perhaps under the impression that when Hegemony Armed Forces is being used as a link, it's being used as shorthand for [[the armed forces of the Terran Hegemony]] rather than as the actual name for the armed forces? The HAF was distinct from the closest armed forces with a similar name are the [[Marian Hegemony Armed Forces]], which specifically have the word "Marian" in the title, but the Hegemony Armed Forces never had the word "Terran" in the title. If a disambig page has been set up, then it's been created in error - we should have one page titled "Hegemony Armed Forces" with an otheruses tag to point to "Marian Hegemony Armed Forces".

Proofreading

Feel free to add any pages you want proofread or cleaned up to the bottom of this list and I will go through and clean them up.

Welcome

Welcome, BobTheZombie, to BattleTechWiki!

We look forward to your contributions and want to help you get off to a good strong start. Hopefully you will soon join the army of BattleTech Editors! If you need help formatting the pages, visit the manual of style. For general questions go to the Help section or the FAQ. If you can't find your answer there, please ask an Admin.


Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the wiki:

  • For policies and guidelines, see The Five Core Policies of BattleTechWiki and the BTW Policies. Another good place to check out is our market of Projects, to see how the smaller communities within BTW do things in their particular niche areas.
  • Each and every page (articles, policies, projects, images, etc.) has its very own discussion/talk page, found on the tab line at the top of the page. This is a great place to find out what the community is discussing along that subject and what previous issues have already been solved.
  • If you want to play around with your new wiki skills, the Sandbox is for you. Don't worry: you won't break anything. A great resource for printing out is the Wiki Cheat Sheet.
  • If you're not registered, then please consider doing so. At the very least, you'll have a UserPage that you own, rather than sharing one with the community.
  • Also consider writing something about yourself on your UserPage (marked as "BobTheZombie" at the top of the page, though only do this if you're registered). You'll go from being a 'redshirt' to a 'blueshirt,' with the respect of a more permanent member.
    • This is really helpful for the admins, as it gives your account that touch of "humanity" that assists us in our never-ending battle with spambots.
  • For your first few edits on the wiki, please do not add any URLs (which can be an indicator of SPAM).
  • Consider introducing yourself on our Discord server.
  • In your Preferences, under the edit tab, consider checking Add pages I create to my watchlist and Add pages I edit to my watchlist, so that you can see how your efforts have affected the community. Check back on following visits by clicking on watchlist.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random button in the sidebar, or check out the List of Wanted Pages. Or even go to Special Pages to see what weird stuff is actually tracked by this wiki.
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the circled button in this image; this will automatically produce your name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date.


Again, welcome to Sarna's BattleTechWiki!

Hegemony Armed Forces

Bob,
I'm a little confused. You're changing links for Hegemony Armed Forces to Terran Hegemony Armed Forces. However, the name of the armed forces of the Terran Hegemony prior to the formation of the Star League was the Hegemony Armed Forces - just like the armed forces of the Federated Suns was the Federated Peacekeeping Forces and then the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns. I'm not sure why you're making the change, because you're pointing the links away from the correct name. Are you perhaps under the impression that when Hegemony Armed Forces is being used as a link, it's being used as shorthand for the armed forces of the Terran Hegemony rather than as the actual name for the armed forces? The HAF was distinct from the closest armed forces with a similar name are the Marian Hegemony Armed Forces, which specifically have the word "Marian" in the title, but the Hegemony Armed Forces never had the word "Terran" in the title. If a disambig page has been set up, then it's been created in error - we should have one page titled "Hegemony Armed Forces" with an otheruses tag to point to "Marian Hegemony Armed Forces".
