Welcome

Welcome, Rebs, 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 "Rebs" 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!

Hy Rebs, welcome to sarna, great to have you here, and good job. If you have some questions about formating and other thinks you can talk to me, greetings.--Doneve 05:06, 24 February 2012 (PST)

Incredble start

It's rare that a brand new BTW editor hits the ground running so quickly and so well. Regardless of your time here, I think the additional information you brought to Elizabeth Hazen was significant enought to warrant recognition:

Great job, and welcome aboard. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 09:16, 24 February 2012 (PST)

Thank You!

Excellent! Greetings back at you both.

I have been a BT/MW player since age 13. I often read here and have been talking on the boards for a little bit, figured it was time to contribute. I am armed with a nice cross section of sourcebooks, and I have read probably 2/3s of the novels. I like to write, as well as edit. In recent years I've been a slacker in BT reading, so your site and the boards are my only source on DA/AoD material. I can't wait to procure War of Reaving and Op Klondike.--Rebs 13:49, 24 February 2012 (PST)

Clan Characters

Hy Reb, i where really appriciated when you updated the Operation Klondike charachters on the wiki, the most of them are stubs, and i think you can help out to fill in this stub articles.--Doneve 16:07, 25 February 2012 (PST)

Hey Don. I would certainly love to try! I'll start from the top of the list and check the stubs first. Then later, if it is cool, I would like a shot at editing some of the ones that are already done but still require a couple revisions. Let me know what you think. Rebs 17:44, 25 February 2012 (PST)

Jade Falcon Founders Done

That was my personal project. I will be reading Op Klondike, at the end of that I'll top off the 4 founders with any pertinent info so we can remove that template from Elizabeth Hazen and I can source one or 2 more things for the others.

Any suggestions on where you veterans would like me to start as for Op Klondike Biographies, let me know it would be appreciated and welcome. Rebs 18:38, 26 February 2012 (PST)

Great idea to add the succession table to Clan founder articles. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 09:04, 7 March 2012 (PST)

Thanks. I copy pasted Jerome Winson's and altered all the pertinent stuff, made it easy and somewhat fool proof. I have been looking for all the ways I could to keep the bios looking unified with what you all have already produced. --Rebs 12:08, 7 March 2012 (PST)

Battles

Evening, Rebs: saw you're working on battle articles too. Glad to see it. Please consider adding the Conflict infobox template to these articles. It helps add some consistent elements to like articles.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 20:43, 8 March 2012 (PST)

Hey there! I'll add the conflict box too. I have been moving residence lately, so not as much time to write as I would like up until now. With the move pretty much finished, I have also been re-reading Invading Clans, Crusader Clans and Warden Clans, so I can make sure and have the full sense of the diverse and often contradictory tapestry of Clan History up until the Tukayid time. Then I'll pick up and move through time to present with the Clans, though I should now have more than enough to do all the stub bios for founders, as well as events that took place. --Rebs 04:34, 13 March 2012 (PDT)

Sounds great, man. Have fun reading & writing!--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 04:48, 13 March 2012 (PDT)

Citations

Great additions to Jerome Winson‎‎, Rebs. But please don't forget to add the citations to each paragraph. Do you need any assistance with that?--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 09:12, 14 March 2012 (PDT)

I have all the refs here, and was going to add them as soon as I finish the body, as I was having a bit of trouble and got frustrated, opting to finish the writing. I have muddled through the other ones in the past, with help from the other guys. --Rebs 09:19, 14 March 2012 (PDT)

Roger, copy all. Shout out to me if you'd like help. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 09:27, 14 March 2012 (PDT)

My problem is getting the loop going for multiple cites of the same source. I'll go get the ones I did for Jen Winson and adapt them to him. It's crazy but that's how I have cited all my other stuff. My grasp of wiki citation theory is still more primal than actual. I know it works, but only through trial and error. Kind of like a comstar adept in the 3rd succesion war. --Rebs 09:31, 14 March 2012 (PDT)
