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 "Neufeld" 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!

Year pages

Neufeld, can you please hold off on making the changes to those articles. The single division addition you made doesn't match what appears to be where consenus is heading and it will all be undone. Plus, since the policy hasn't even been written yet (since it hasn't been agreed to either), some people are thinking that what you are doing is the final form. I appreciate the drive you're showing, but let us firm up what the page will look like. I'll then write 9hopefully) easy instructions on how to use the code you're experimenting with. It'll be at least seven days from final consensus, but then you'll be free for take off once the policy is released (which will make the main page). Thanks. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 18:24, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok. --Neufeld 18:35, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Canon policy

Thank you all your efforts to add info from TRO:3050U to the 'Mech articles. While I appreciate your zeal in adding missing Battle Values to these 'Mechs, information from non-canon sources must be very clearly separate from information from canon sources to reflect the authority that the latter have. I, too, would like to see that information available, but Solaris Skunkworks is not a canon source and so cannot be used for this purpose. Please read Policy:Canon for more information. --Scaletail 23:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

All Purpose Award

I know it may seem to be a 'I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine' kinda deal at first look (since you gave me an AP today), I do sincerely feel appreciative for your highlighting of numerous 'articles' that needed killin', err, deleting. For getting into the guts of BTW to weed out the chaff, I present you with the All Purpose ribbon:

Thanks for the assistance, Neufeld. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:13, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! --Neufeld 05:24, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Command Console

Hi Neufeld, hope things are well for you. I had question, since you've been updating or sprucing up the Duel Cockpit. Are you planning to do the Command Console article too? Tactical Operations has it in the book as Cockpit Command Console. I'm not up on the old rules, so i'm not sure if the older Command Console rules are similar. -- Wrangler 19:49, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm right now mostly focusing on how to represent rules, and not the details. (see Policy Talk:Canon) So, I haven't planned visiting that article right now. Might do some research into later. Haven't got access to older rules. --Neufeld 19:53, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

I took a look at the Command Console, and added what I found in TO. Some rules was a bit different to what was in the article, so I marked those sections as OLD:. I'm now finished with that article, until we make some decision on how to represent rules. --Neufeld 21:04, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
