Welcome

Welcome, CungrVanck, 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 "CungrVanck" 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!

Branth article

I have deleted the "Branth (species)" article as per your request. Mind that, as a registered user, you should have a "move" button that allows you to transfer an article's content to a new name, automatically creating a redirect in the old article. Please do not simply blank pages; at the very least, insert a {{Deletion|(reason)}} tag so that the delete request can be seen easier by the admins.

PS Good edits so far! Have an All Purpose Award All Purpose Award, 1st ribbon (feel free to add this to your front page). Frabby 07:03, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Frabby! This is my first wiki experience and I still have a lot to learn. Double thanks for the award! CungrVanck 10:07, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Bountiful Delicacies

Good evening :) I saw that you'd marked "Bountiful delicacies" for deletion due to the mis-capitalised name; I set the original to a redirect so that it'll point to the right one, as it seemed to me that others might make the same mistake when looking for the article. I'm not sure if you know how to set up redirects? I notice that Frabby mentioned them above for you. You can create one by either hitting the button marked #R and then typing in the new name of the article where it prompts you to, or by typing in #REDIRECT[[Target page name]]. I didn't work that out myself until I saw someone do it in response to a comment I made, so I thought I'd pass the favour on... BrokenMnemonic 18:35, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks BrokenMnemonic! Actually, I had created a redirect in my attempts to fix the issue. Though that was completely by accident. I thought that deleting it would be a better solution. I will try to remember that this is the preferred method of correction. CungrVanck 20:28, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Company articles

Thought I'd share this with you: when I first log onto the site at any point in the day, I'm in vandal patrol mode. When you start a new article with something clearly corporate (ex: Dobless Information Services‎), my eyes whip right too it and then to the editor's name. I recognize who you are, get briefly confused and then remember that canon companies are your forte. Anyway, letting you know you often provide false returns on my vandal radar. Nonetheless, keep doing what you're doing. I enjoy reading your work.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 20:11, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
