To quickly create a canon ProtoMech article that matches the format in use with other canon ProtoMechs:

1. Open the new article.

2. Paste the following code into the edit field:


{{InfoBoxProtoMech
|image=
|name=
|manufacturer=
|Tech Base=
|Introduced=
|model=
|class=
|mass=
|chassis=
|armor=
|engine=
|speed=
|jumpjets=
|armament=
|BV (1.0)=
|BV (2.0)=
}}



==Description==


==Armament==


==Variants==


==References==
<references />


==Bibliography==


[[Category:ProtoMechs|{{PAGENAME}}]]

3. If a field is unknown, leave it blank.

4. If a ProtoMech does not have jumpjets, completely remove the appropriate line of code (ex: |jumpjets=).

5. For the image field, just the name of the image is sufficient. e.g., Example.jpg, Example.png, etc.

6. Fill in the four sections (Description, Armament, Variants, References) to the best of your capability.

7. Click on the Show preview button and review your article for mistakes.

8. Write a brief memo in the Summary field.

9. Press the Save page button.

10. Bask in the pride of your article, with our thanks.
