Fixing Categories

I "fixed" the categories by adding a "|Executioner (Executioner-B)" syntax to each category link, similar to the solution for the Crossbow (BattleMech) and Crossbow (OmniMech) pages. I did not try "|{PAGENAME}", though I suspect it would work, too. If there is a better way to allow both OmniMechs to appear on category searches, please let us know and feel free to make changes if necessary.--S.gage (talk) 10:33, 17 June 2022 (EDT)

Naming Convention Used

When naming this article, the Septicemia (Pariah) was used as a guide. The "Septicemia (Pariah)" does not follow the traditional "Clan Name (Inner Sphere Name)" convention because "Pariah" is a Clan Diamond Shark designation; rather, the more general naming convention is really "Original Name (New Designation)". The name for this article follows the same convention. Any thoughts re: naming would be helpful!--S.gage (talk) 10:42, 17 June 2022 (EDT)

Citation Needed

I left a pair of "cn" tags in the article. These tags are referring to the page numbers for Phelan's Trial of Position in the novel Lethal Heritage--S.gage (talk) 11:34, 17 June 2022 (EDT)

The Trial of Position was in Blood Legacy Chapter 19. I am not seeing anything there that specifically backs up what you want to cite for in the first case. I will add a citation about Vlad using one in the Trial, however. --Talvin (talk) 12:37, 17 June 2022 (EDT)

Sorry, wrong novel in the series. The article in Shrapnel cited that Trial as an example of poor performance, implying Vlad lost because the design quirks prevented him from finishing Phelan off. It has been too long, I don't remember if the book said this explicitly; I thought it might be a good idea to add the reference. Thanks!--S.gage (talk) 13:46, 17 June 2022 (EDT)

Gloating too much and ignoring Natasha Kerensky were also factors.--Talvin (talk) 14:52, 17 June 2022 (EDT)
