Welcome to BattleTechWiki:Project Clans. Several users have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving BattleTechWiki's coverage of Way of Life, Rites, and Customs and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other editors interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please add yourself as a participant in the project, inquire on the discussion page, and see the to-do list, below.

Goals
The goals of this project is to improve BattleTechWiki's coverage of the Battletech's Clans with a focus on their rites, customs and way of life. The many editors over the years have done an awesome job of making sure the entries of the militaries or Toumans of the Clans have been kept up-to-date however the culture entries seems to either lack fullness, are in dire need of a clean up, or in some cases are grossly out of date.
Scope
THe scope of this project is broad so we will be coming out with different focus points as we see how much content there is to edit. As we are dealing with such a big part of Battletech it will take time to make sure our references are correct. However also the Clans had many personalities that were involved with the fiction that we need to make sure are also referenced correctly as they may have references already on the wiki yet not marked.
