Welcome and a point in the direction I was thinking...[edit]

Hey Arcalane,

Welcome to the wiki and thank you for making a start cleaning up the MW5M 'mechs article... As you may of guessed it is very much a work in progress at the moment. I eventually plan to use the same format as we did BattleTech_(Video_Game)/BattleMechs. Feel free to share your thoughts on this as I am still too busy enjoying the game to of done much work!--Dmon (talk) 11:11, 14 June 2021 (EDT)

I'd make it more condensed; make use of rowspan/colspan values, something like this;
'Mech Variant Mass (tons) Base Cost (C-Bills) Armor (pts) Jump Distance (m) Armament Special Source
Jenner JR7-D 35 3,960,000 320 180m 1x SRM-4, 4x Medium Lasers n/a Core Content
JR7-D Custom 35 4,000,000 320 180m 1x SRM-4, 4x Medium Lasers+ n/a Flashpoint DLC
Panther PNT-9R 35 3,580,000 520 150m 1x SRM-4, 1x PPC n/a Core Content
This way you're not making a huge TOC at the top of the page. Other columns can be tweaked as needed, of course. --Arcalane (talk) 12:47, 14 June 2021 (EDT)
Hey Arcalane,
Not been around much today, so I am massively impressed to log in and see that you have put in a boatload of work in! Thank you!--Dmon (talk) 17:51, 15 June 2021 (EDT)
There's a lot more to go, unfortunately. Most of it tedious data entry. But hey, at least the general layout is coming along. --Arcalane (talk) 05:10, 16 June 2021 (EDT)
