Welcome[edit]

Welcome, Silence Freebirth, 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 "Silence Freebirth" 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!

Image Uploads[edit]

Hello and welcome! Can you please add the source for your recent image upload, File:Fulk.png. The image policy shows an example of the proper summary template.--Cache (talk) 08:52, 15 December 2021 (EST)

- Hi, the source is now attached. Apologies for not adding it sooner - please let me know if the information is not satisfactory. Thanks. --Silence Freebirth (talk) 09:22, 15 December 2021 (EST)
Looks good. I added a bit to it, including wiki formatting. Thank you.--Cache (talk) 12:21, 15 December 2021 (EST)

Clan Hell's Horses[edit]

Good slogging thru with the copy-edits today!--Revanche (talk|contribs) 11:57, 15 December 2021 (EST)

- Thanks! --Silence Freebirth (talk) 12:34, 15 December 2021 (EST)

Please Respect Moratorium[edit]

You added a lot of great information to the Atlas (BattleMech) article, but unfortunately it comes from a source still under Moratorium until 24 Feb 2022 so I reverted back to previous edit. Policy:Moratorium provides some guidance on Sarna's preference around not adding information too soon after release.Cyc (talk) 06:07, 13 February 2022 (EST)

Understood, thank you. -- Silence Freebirth (talk) 10:49, 24 February 2022 (EST)Silence Freebirth
Thank you for the understanding, Silence Freebirth. I see Cyc is on top of the moratorium's completion and your edits are live once again.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 11:07, 24 February 2022 (EST)

We have awards![edit]

Hey there, in case you weren't aware, we have awards, and with 115 edits, you automatically get this one:
Edit Count (100)
It's a fun way to track your progress on the Wiki. I think you are also due at least one time in service award. Check it out.--Talvin (talk) 21:12, 19 March 2022 (EDT)

Awesome, thank you! --Silence Freebirth (talk) 04:59, 20 March 2022 (EDT)

Weapons case[edit]

I saw your edits on the Shadow Hawk IIC page; always nice to see somebody updating competently.

I thought I should give you a heads-up that there's an incomplete project to convert the names of weapons and equipment to normal sentence case outside of tables. You can find a note explaining it on a lot of the weapon pages. Madness Divine (talk) 21:35, 7 December 2022 (EST)

Understood, thank you for letting me know. Silence Freebirth (talk) 13:52, 8 December 2022 (EST)
