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 "DerangedShadow" 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!

Hi, just an explanation why I rolled back your edit: The text in question was a direct quote, and as such needs to quote verbatim. I have created a redirect from the redlink to cover the problem once and for all for all links using downcase spelling. Another possible solution would have been a piped link.

Thanks for editing! Frabby 08:40, 14 June 2012 (PDT)

Sign talk posts

As a courtesy for other editors, it is a BattleTechWiki guideline to sign your talk page and user talk page posts. To do so simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date will be automatically added along with a timestamp. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info see the talk page guidelines. Thank you.

Good Article Award

Saw the work you put into A Call to Arms. Like it. Actually, I'm very happy that another person besides me has begun to create articles on novels including the plot summary writeup, so that even people without access to that novel would know the canon-relevant content. Have a Good Article Award!

Thank you very much Frabby. It's the least I can do for this site that I use quite a bit. Since the only thing I truly own that I can add value to this site is all the Mechwarrior Dark Age books, I thought I would add what I can. DerangedShadow 18:15, 4 July 2012 (PDT)

Year Pages

Hy i read your talk on [Frabby's] page, i appriciate your entusiastic to update the year pages, i disagree in one point, keep in mind some pages are empty while some content was deleted, please take a look on the 3096 history, when the added content was not supported by an article then Revanche and by myself deleted the content of the page but not removed the year page template from sarna, i hope some contributors added content to the empty pages with on blue link and not with red links, i hope you fill in some empty pages, sorry for raw writing, but i think you know what i mean, please keep up your good writing and add more [Dark Age] articles, greetings.--Doneve 16:23, 12 July 2012 (PDT)

Alright, I was trying to be helpful about the wanted pages having years on it, thought it best to see about eliminating them so the wanted pages was free of them. That is why I asked Frabby before I started doing anything with it. I shall stop doing with what I was doing. DerangedShadow 16:31, 12 July 2012 (PDT)

I think you must not stop your work, i updated at this time the Manufacturing Timeline and switch then to the year pages to integrate some content, i don't want you stop what you do.--Doneve 16:35, 12 July 2012 (PDT)

So you would like me to continue with the mass year page creation? DerangedShadow 16:37, 12 July 2012 (PDT)

If you have fun to do this, let's rule, i found some content to fill in some of the year pages, i see on your user page you work only from the Dark Age periode, if you have a lack of early BT source material, give me your email and i give you a link to my database.--Doneve 16:44, 12 July 2012 (PDT)

When you have become the email, talk to me if the link works or not.--Doneve 16:57, 12 July 2012 (PDT)

The link works Doneve, though I was wondering about the iLiVid download thing, what is it exactly? DerangedShadow 17:15, 12 July 2012 (PDT)
