Welcome, Krev, 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!

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 "Krev" 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!

Award

Welcome to the Wiki Krev and possibly the fastest anybody has ever been given an award.

I present to you a good humor award for the burger related insanity on the discord. I hope you write us a series of articles on them now!--Dmon (talk) 14:30, 26 May 2021 (EDT)

Great application, Dmon, and truly earned, Krev. Who knew that an interest in cutlery would lead you to such high achievement in in the culinary arts? _{(I did.)}--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 06:49, 27 May 2021 (EDT)

///

the first step to burger is the foundational components, of which quillar is probably one;

essential, however, to a complete meal is a drink, which the zeus burger arcturan shake may have more a distinction of filling than Quillar Fizz

i hope to fulfill the hunger-based voids that exist, or at least do something useful - Krev (talk)

Evening, Krev: one thing about Year pages is that they link to only one article: the issue directly being addressed by the entry. In your case, which of the three links best details the events of the entry: "Terens Amaris is designated the heir-apparent to the Rim Worlds Republic consulship"? If it's Terens Amaris, then that would be the only link in that entry. (The idea is to keep the year pages from becoming messes of descriptive paragraphs of the event, with citations and exposition, which is best handled by the linked article). In this case, the event is the designation, so one of those three linked articles will explain the event better than the other two. This policy section might be a better guide.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:39, 2 June 2021 (EDT)

Alrighty; I did feel like I was throwing out way too many links in recent edits, and I do think I need to work to make my additions a little more lean.

As far as that goes, I feel like the RWR page describes the event better right now than the character page, but I'd generally presume linking to the character would be sufficient enough. I'll make sure to come back around to clean that up once I finish some source-checking stuff for the RWR page - that, or I can handle that right now, actually.

Krev (talk) 22:45, 2 June 2021 (EDT)

Ok, but to be clear, "lean" is only expected (as policy) for the Year pages. Any "leanness" expectation for other articles are your own, as you know best your writing style.

If you feel the RWR page is the best, then link to that, definitely. It's your call. As long as the linked article is the "source" of the data (meaning, it must back the entry on the Year page), then you're good. For example, you can't open a sourcebook, see the year...2733 mentioned, and just add an try to that year page, linking to an article page; the article page must support the statement made on the Year page. Year entries get deleted all the time, when an article doesn't re-state the event. Gawd, hope I'm not miring you in bureaucracy! --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 05:33, 3 June 2021 (EDT)
