=About Me=
 
I am Deadfire, also known as DeadfirePrime. [https://www.twitch.tv/deadfireprime You can sometimes find me streaming on Twitch answering lore questions when I am playing games], [https://twitter.com/DeadfirePrime tweeting funny BT related things on Twitter] or hanging about in Discord by using the user ''Deadfire''. I've been a fan of Battletech since 1992, and I was turned into a lore fanatic via my first sourcebook (Funny enough it was [[Field Manual: ComStar]]).
 
  
=My Role on Sarna=
+
== Clan Blood Spirit ==
As the '''Senior Editor''' for '''Templates and Automation''' I have the following responsibilities:
+
{|class="wikitable" width='800' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;"
* Design, develop, create and modify Sarna's mediawiki templates (and modules) using wiki markup, HTML5, CSS3 and LUA.
+
! colspan="5" | Founding Bloodnames:<ref name="H:OKp34">''Historical: Operation KLONDIKE'', p. 34, "Origins of the Bloodnames: The Clans' Founders</ref>
* Work with Sarna Admins and other Senior editors to understand template needs and the data that is needed to be shown/recorded.

+
{|class="wikitable" width='800' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;"

=How to change Sarna's Appearance (or skin) and using Dark Mode=
+
| Mandaka
[[File:Sarna Dark Mode.png|frameless|left]]
+
| Mattlov
To change skins you need to be logged in and go to the [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|Appearance Tab in your Preferences]]. From there you can select one of the installed skins (the default is "SarnaAdSense" changing from that will remove the google ads).
+
|-
 
+
| Nilloba
If you wish for a dark theme for Sarna that works with any of the skins and doesn't change anything (Other than have a toggle between the two modes) You can copy my custom [[User:Deadfire/common.css|common.css]] and [[User:Deadfire/common.js|common.js]] and where it says "Shared CSS/JSON/JavaScript for all skins:" and use the links under that (Custom CSS | Custom JavaScript) to paste my custom code in. For best results change your skin first to one that is not the default (As much as the changes do work with the "SarnaAdSense" skin, the ads may make things not render correctly)
