:Err, good catch. I'd say they now qualify has Major. Thanks for the catch. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche (admin)]] 09:15, 15 November 2006 (CST)
 
 
 
==Mercenary units==
 
Wonder if it would make sense to put units as a category of "background" with dictionary, factions, people, planets and time line.
 
 
 
I've been pulling a list from all the mercenary handbooks, and it might get a bit blocky for the "factions" page.

:[[:Category:Mercenaries]] is accessible from the front page. I'm not sure how much we want to put on the side bar. --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 22:02, 24 March 2008 (CDT)
 
 
 
Are mercenaries really worth of "faction" status along with actual nations and Clans? I propose we remove them from here. --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 18:06, 6 August 2008 (CDT)
 
 
 
:I would say yes. They play an important role in the IS and some of the bigger units even act like a very small faction so why not?--[[User:BigDuke66|BigDuke66]] 10:22, 11 August 2008 (CDT)
 
 
 
== Major Expansion ==
 
There's a couple of extremely big issues with the faction list as it currently is, namely:
 
 
 
* It's pretty incomplete.
 
* It has no set time, so there's no indication if a given faction existed within the timeframe of another.
 
* There's no definition of terms.
 
 
 
I'm first going to revamp the page in order to get my information and faction lists correct and complete. Afterwards, I'll make 2 sections:
 
* Regions of Space (Inner Sphere/Periphery/Deep Periphery/Clan Space)
 
* Factions (organised by era)
 
Maybe Mercenaries seperatly.
 
I'm also looking into replacing the lists with actual tables, categorised as IS/Clan/P/DP/Merc. This will probably take 2-3 days, as I'm a rather slow editor. [[User:Dirk Bastion|Dirk Bastion]] 21:30, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
