 | This page in a nutshell: This page documents what is and is not sufficiently notable to warrant inclusion on BattleTechWiki, and suggests how to include it. |
Every bit of information that has to do with BattleTech warrants inclusion on the BattleTechWiki.
This includes, but is not limited to, fictional places, characters, items, technology or events within the ficitonal universe, as well as real companies and people that have owned, licensed, or worked on BattleTech.
In the event that an article about a given subject cannot be expanded beyond a paragraph due to a lack of source material, it is suggested to include the information within another article where appropriate, or to create a list of like minor topics such as grouping very minor characters into a single list article (see Magistracy of Canopus/Minor Characters or Vost Lance for an example). Where appropriate, redirects can be created that point to the entry in the list article; it is possible to include the redirect in the appropriate categories (see Garber Vost for an example).
Note that it is always possible to create an article on the topic later, if and when more information becomes available in the future.
