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 "Neuling" 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!

Placeholder articles

Hi Neuling, and thank you for the mercenary command articles. Two points though: You have inserted a "cleanup" tag, but I think the template you really want to use is "stub". Which brings me to the second point, do you intend to expand these placeholders into full articles? If so, great; but if not, then be advised that we have the List of minor mercenary units article specifically for the purpose of putting down such data. If and when you have enough material on a merc unit to warrant their own article, go ahead and create the article (deleting the unit from the List article). But please do not create essentially empty placeholders. Frabby 09:09, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Use NEW Merc template

Hello Neuling, there have been recent changes to Sarna's website. As you are placing high number of mercenary articles on line. It appears your still using the OLD template that has problems. Recently a new ones has been made, please use; Help:CreateMercenaryUnitArticle. -- Wrangler 12:09, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Operation Guerrero changes

Hi. I'm the guy who wrote the Operation Guerrero page, and I was wondering why you removed so much of the article. Several of the elements that you excised, particularly the Capellan operations, were needed to properly set the stage for the invasion in my opinion. --Mbear 13:08, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I've restored most of my original article text. I've also included the summary tables you created. I did this for several reasons:

1. You removed information that was important to the article. (Pre-Guerrero Capellan operations)
2. The text you included was confusing.
3. Some of the text you had (units, etc.) was incorrect.

I really like the tables you created and wish I had thought of them first. I think that between your summary tables and my original text the article is great. I hope you agree with me once you've reviewed the article. --Mbear 22:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

DCMS Unit tables

Hey bro, Not to be a killjoy or anything but looking at your new unit tables in the DCMS article I think we should possibly consider rolling them back to the old way as IMHO they are a little "squashed" looking now. --Dmon 15:45, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
