Welcome

Welcome, The Wayfarer, 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 "The Wayfarer" 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!

Welcome

Hello Wayfarer! I saw the edits that you did to the Torrent (character) page and wanted to help you out a bit on it. If you haven't had a chance yet, you should check out the Help:Contents page to help be an effective member of the Sarna editing team. Good luck and hope to see more from you.

Thanks for the help in rolling everything back? Thanks. I guess. The Wayfarer (talk) 16:59, 16 September 2016 (PDT)

The reason I bring it up to you is due to the fact that you are just putting out single sentence edits which do not anything to the article. Anastasia Kerensky, you added a couple single sentence lines like she borrowed a Legionnaire BattleMech and how her actions on Dieron may be sourced in other materials. Those are true to the source materials, but they do not add to the sum of the wiki which is trying to document this information in a library-ish type setting like the page of Ulric Kerensky. Not wanting to bash you for trying to help make this wiki a place where people can come to get the information that they desire, I am trying to help inform you that the way you are going about the edits to pages is not helping the quality of the pages. That is why I basically rolled back your one edit and added in the few pieces of information that actually do push the quality of the page in the right direction. Again, I am just trying to inform you of the help page that is used to push all editors in one way to create a singular mind. DerangedShadow (talk) 20:06, 16 September 2016 (PDT)
