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)
Source material
Hy again, if you have a lack of source material talk to me, and i provide you a private link, to stook up your sourcebooks :).--Doneve 14:08, 24 February 2012 (PST)
- Cool! That would be awesome. I have a lot to read lately, but sometimes I might need more. I know who to ask though, and that is huge. -- Rebs 15:01, 24 February 2012 (PST)
- Thanks!!
- Enjoy and have fun.--Doneve 15:41, 24 February 2012 (PST)
- Will do! Think I will do the 3 other Falcon founders now, but I always need at least 4 or 5 tabs open with abundant reading material :D
