Talk:Inner Sphere 'Mechs

Deletion

This seems to be an ancient article from the very early days of Sarna as a wiki... but it doesn't really conform to current standards. Perhaps rework it into an Essay? Frabby (talk) 14:35, 9 April 2020 (EDT)

Always impresses me just how far we have come when an article as old as this comes up. I do not really think there is much point turning it into an essay as the content is not really anything beyond a list of 'Mechs by TRO. The only real use I can see for it is to help people find what TRO a 'Mech is in.. And the MUL (and our own 'Mech articles) already do that and more.--Dmon (talk) 16:29, 9 April 2020 (EDT)

I'm in favor of deletion. There is an Inner Sphere 'Mechs category for a list of them all. If there's any unique information in the brief write-up for each TRO, move it to the respective TRO article.--Cache (talk) 18:08, 9 April 2020 (EDT)

Renaming of 'Mech pages

• CJKeys...good catch. I was wondering what you were doing, but the archived page showed me we had planets I didn't know about. Fine eye for detail. --Revanche 00:05, 2 October 2006 (CDT)

Variant Pages

Perhapse we should have BattleMech/Variant sub-pages? especially for something like this. Which ever Mech is published in the TRO would have the text (perhapse via "include"?), and the stats for the main variant would be on the Main page and the subpage for the variant. Humm, should Categories for the TRO's and RS Books be created so that each variant would be added automaticly to the correct book? --Cameron 13:11, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

At least some of my arguments against that are at BattleTechWiki talk:Project BattleMechs#Change_format?. If you want to discuss changing the format of the 'Mech articles, that talk page is the best place to do it. --Scaletail 00:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
