Welcome

Welcome, Doneve, 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 "Doneve" 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!

Happy New Year

Hy Doneve,

I'd like to wish you and your family a Happy New Year - I hope that 2013 is a great year for everyone.

If nothing else, TPTB have started it off with Objectives: Periphery, which seems like a good start to me BrokenMnemonic (talk) 12:46, 1 January 2013 (PST)

Hy BM, sorry for the late response, i wish you and your family also a Happy New Year.--Doneve (talk) 13:57, 2 January 2013 (PST)

XTRO Primitives Vol 3

Doneve, Just FYI: I undid your formatting changes to the TOC of XTRO Primitives Vol. 3. Battlemechs, Aerospace Fighters, DropShips, Jumpships, Warships are all italicized, but battle armor and combat vehicles aren't. This is how CGL does it and follows the italics policy. --Mbear^(talk) 04:16, 3 January 2013 (PST)

Planet InfoBox

Copied from my talk page Mbear, as the resident expert on infobox construction, is there any way to amend the Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard template so that if the image is already less than 225 pixels in width, it isn't increased automatically to a width of 225 pixels? Some of the info boxes (like Denbar) are suffering from image bloat because the long, think planetary flags are being scaled up dramatically... BrokenMnemonic (talk) 12:27, 9 January 2013 (PST)

I don't know off the top of my head. Let me look into it.--Mbear^(talk) 04:17, 10 January 2013 (PST)

Updated the InfoboxPlanetStandard to include a new paramater: imagewidth. If you have an image less than 225px, you can enter the width in pixels on this line to show image w/o scaling. Leaving line blank will assume width of 225px.--Mbear^(talk) 04:32, 10 January 2013 (PST)

Excellent, thanks.--Doneve (talk) 08:22, 10 January 2013 (PST)

Skye Rangers Commando

Doneve - So in the back of FM:Lyran Alliance, there's a color pic of a Commando in Skye Ranger colors. Could you upload this one for me? ClanWolverine101 (talk) 10:50, 16 January 2013 (PST)

Done :).--Doneve (talk) 11:50, 16 January 2013 (PST)

Thanks! ClanWolverine101 (talk) 22:14, 16 January 2013 (PST)

Task Force Serpent

Hy Doneve,

Do you know where a list of the WarShips assigned to Task Force Serpent could be found? I notice from the Essex page that several ComStar vessels apparently went, but I've checked all the sourcebooks I can think of and haven't turned anything up. BrokenMnemonic (talk) 12:29, 18 January 2013 (PST)

Ok! i look what i can do for you.--Doneve (talk) 22:12, 19 January 2013 (PST)

Okidoky, the source is Twilight of the Clans sourcebook, p. 8, and on other pages, i hope this helps.--Doneve (talk) 22:21, 19 January 2013 (PST)

Hy, that's great, thank you

Rewritten: 4th Skye Rangers

For your approval, I give you the 4th Skye Rangers. ClanWolverine101 (talk) 21:32, 21 January 2013 (PST)

That's one heck of a re-write. Very sharp looking article. --Rebs (talk) 10:58, 30 January 2013 (PST)

Images

Hello Doneve!

Nic deleted the unused Viper images. :( But that's OK. I dropped him a note and said hello and apologized about cluttering up his database. I explained about the holidays and stuff too. He said it was cool, and to upload the images any time. So... If you are cool with it as well, could you please re-upload Natalie Breen for me? :) (page 91 ER: 3052) I just finished her bio, its a good one. :) And it is also for your approval, or anyone else too. --Rebs (talk) 10:35, 30 January 2013 (PST)

Okidoki, work in progress :).--Doneve (talk) 10:38, 30 January 2013 (PST)
