BattleTechWiki:Project BattleMechs

Welcome to the BattleMech WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving BattleTechWiki's coverage of BattleMechs.

Goals

• Catalogue every BattleMech used in BattleTech
• Catagorize the BattleMechs into easily-searched, concise topics, such as:
  • Weight Class
  • Tech Base
  • Factions
  • ...etc.

Scope

• A little vague right now, but we'll need to discuss the differences between CBT, MWDA & video game entries.

Guidelines

• CJKeys developed the current format used for BattleMechs (and adapted for every other unit type). The current concept for BattleMechs has that there are four sections: **Description : a basic description of the 'Mech
  • Armament : what does it carry and some notes on the same; not to be a simple list, but a narrative
  • Variants : list each type of variant seen, and if not from CBT, indicate so, in italics.
  • References : links to the books or other source material used in any way to contribute to the article
  • Infobox : created with pre-established fields that need to be filled in with the relevant info
• One thing to consider is that the articles tend towards to an in-character (IC) role, though there are some obvious out-of-character (OOC) bits included (ex: BV). In the text, if going OOC, use italics.
• Link everything, at least once. If the term is Star League, link to it. If House Marik is referenced in the text, link to it. Link to other unit types, like DropShips. If the same term is used a lot, especially in the same paragraph, feel free to link only once. But link, even if the linked article does not yet exist: it will someday!
• Italicize the name of the 'Mech being written about (don't link to it!). Do this for each mention.
• In the variants section, don't list the whole designation again. For example, if the HCT-3F Hatchetman is the primary article, in the variatnt section, start off each entry from the hyphen, followed by a space, another hyphen and one more space. For example:
  • -4M - The variant entry looks like this...
