The Awards Committee has released the newest Editor's Award: the Casual Edit Ribbon.
Casual Edit Award, 1st ribbon
This award is given when any "Editor witnesses another Editor making a minor correction to any random article." Show your appreciation for the efforts of the other Editors here by granting this or any of the other myriad ribbons available.


The Assume Good Faith and Vandalism policies have just been released. All Editors are asked to review them, in order to ensure the high levels of civility we have come to enjoy remain in effect.


Happy New Year and New Decade! We're well into Sarna's seventeenth year and BattleTechWiki's fourth. Two important notes:
  • Incredible job this last 12 months by Sarna's dedicated team of Editors, with more than a 48% increase in the number of articles since last January, averaging 8 new articles a day. The site is improving by leaps and bounds, thanks to your efforts.
  • To celebrate the tremendous accomplishments of all the site's contributors, we're unveiling the BattleTechWiki Awards. Some will be granted sparingly by Nic, others will be handed out by the Admins, many are granted by other Editors and some are automatic. Please take a look, see what you'd like to grant to other Editors and ask me if you have any questions.


The Fan Fiction and Article categories have been cleaned up a bit, with their own tags. Now, its easier to find all of Sarna's fan-submitted fiction and articles, as well as being in line with the new Canon policy.


The important Policy:Canon for this wiki has been re-forged into what we hope to be its final version. Contributors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with our Canon Policy. As of yet, it appears to reflect the current consensus on the matter.
Similarly, the article on Canon has been rewritten from the ground up.


The re-release of the Star League housebook, the Federated Suns field manual and the Hot Spots, First Strike! and Fall of Terra scenario books does not fall under the moratorium policy. Feel free to use these sources in your editing immediately.


A new category, BattleTech Essays, makes its debut with BattleMech Roles. This new category will be built up with articles by community-recognized essays regarding issues focused on the games or fiction.
