Talk:BattleTech eras

Great idea for an article. I think this would be a good addition to the BattleTech article in the See Also section. Suggestion for another title: BattleTech Eras? --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 10:13, 28 August 2008 (CDT)

Do we really need seven different articles for information that is already covered elsewhere? I do like the idea for explaining the eras thing, but shouldn't we just do it in one comprehensive article? --Scaletail 19:05, 28 August 2008 (CDT)

I agree with Scaletail. I created this article yesterday as a placeholder until I could figured something else out. I'm fine with linking all the eras to a single page. --Ebakunin 21:43, 28 August 2008 (CDT)

I think we're all in agreement on that (see my original post). I think its a great list-type article, but I don't think it needs to be recreated 6 times with different names. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:29, 29 August 2008 (CDT)

Adding Eras

In my research, I'm coming across other "eras" that are referred to. Plus the time from 2005 until the Star League can be broken up. Do you think we can add our own era's here or are we just going with InMediaRes stuff? Locis 13:38, 18 November 2008 (PST)

It's just CGL's eras right now. Interestingly, the era logos in Jihad Turning Points: Luthien now includes a "Dark Age" era. --Scaletail 16:52, 18 November 2008 (PST)

First Exodus Era

I have seen the "pre-Age of War" Era is referred to commonly as the "First Exodus (Era)". I looked up the date, if you are so inclined to change the name - the era would be demarcated by the settlement of Tau Ceti IV (New Earth) in 2112 and the start of the Age of War in 2398--S.gage 17:39 EDT 18 June 2009.

I was just copyediting. You're welcome to make any changes you want. However, we really do need more citations. If you could add them in your edits we'd really appreciate it. Thanks. --Ebakunin 15:35, 18 June 2009 (PDT)

The Reunification War Era

The Reunification War era is wrongly displayed as "Pre-Star League Era" in the in yearlist box. The Star League was formed in 2571. Add Star League logo and change the era for this period. --Neufeld 21:01, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Huh. Not sure how that happened. I have removed the Reunification War era entirely as the eras have been revamped (the canon document is here). Thanks for noticing! --Ebakunin ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:09, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

The Dark Age Era

The Period after 3082 is when Wizkids takes over more or less, calling that Darkage is a short hand. The actual Dark Age (3132-Fortress Republic?) and Age of Destruction (Fortress Republic?+) time periods should be split out too, does any one know what wizkids called the era I woudl call the Age of Peace, or Death by Boredom between 3082 and the circa 3132 collapse of the HPG network that starts the Dark Age? --Cameron 14:16, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

So far, official word from Herb has been that 3081+ is called the Dark Age. I'm not aware of an official distinction between these eras so far (unlike the Exodus eras, for example). Dirk Bastion 15:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Herbs Response ammounts to "Not My Job" - Thats when the Timeline for the DarkAge Game takes over, there are at least three time periods in DA's time line that FanPro/Catalyst is not going to account for because they are not yet cleared to operate in those years. Even if as IIRC WizKids is less of an issue and the DarkAge is dead, the era periods from the Dark Age game should still be as faithfully represented as from the BattleTech game that is all we really care about.--Cameron 17:30, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Linkable Titles for the Eras

Tech Manual references the eras Directly for certain classes of weapons, so how do i get BattleTech_eras#Early Spaceflight and BattleTech_eras#Pre-Spaceflight links to work?— The preceding unsigned comment was posted by PerkinsC (talk • contribs) on 3 March 2011.

You can't, at the moment. You can only link to headlines, not table cells. Dirk Bastion 15:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
