Welcome[edit]

Welcome, 75.23.228.139, 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 "75.23.228.139" 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!

You're making some really fine edits, definitively improving the articles (and, not seriously, I won't have to "patrol" your edits once I recognize your name as a trusted one).--Revanche (talk|contribs) 08:34, 26 July 2022 (EDT)

Clan Names Question / Discord[edit]

Just to let you know, I am also trying to get some discussion going on Sarna's official discord channel (https://discord.com/invite/CPjUMCbk36) regarding your Clan naming question, so if you'd also like to join in on that forum as well we might be able to get to a workable consensus together in a timely manner. --HF22 (talk) 07:13, 3 August 2022 (EDT)

Notes to self[edit]

I've noticed several topics that need wordsmithing, so this will be a To Do list for me.

  • articles related to Clan Wolf warriors that came from "Clan Wolf Sourcebook"'s phone book. A lot of them use "would serve"/"would pilot", instead of "served"/"piloted".
  • character articles that have infobox "profession" value of military rank, like Colonel, Captain, etc. Solution: update infobox with current template (that has separate "rank" field) and move value from "profession" to "rank"
  • articles related to DCMS units. Quite a few of them read like rough drafts, instead of polished articles (probably more useful than correcting verb tense). I've seen the same thing for CCAF units as well. Wouldn't be surprised if most units outside of Steiner, Davion and mercenary articles have the same problem.
  • making sure that Bloodname articles have the correct sort order for ranks
    • Current priority: Sea Fox, Smoke Jaguar
    • Completed: Blood Spirit, Burrock, Cloud Cobra, Coyote, Fire Mandrill, Ghost Bear, Goliath Scorpion, Hell's Horses, Ice Hellion, Jade Falcon, Nova Cat, Mongoose, Widowmaker, Wolverine
    • Remaining: Star Adder, Steel Viper, Wolf
