  • Hi, CJKeys: welcome aboard! I've been following your work over at MechWikia and I'm glad you decided to bring it over here for the potential merger.
I do have a request of you, however: can you please use the code provided for in the Quick Start page for creating 'Mech articles? I've incorporated most of the same design you developed at MechWikia, but have included at least three differences: a description panel (where before it was unlabeled) and code for automatically including all new 'Mechs into categories, so they can be quickly found in one category location (see the bottom of your Mercury article and the Category:BattleMechs at the bottom to see what I mean). The template is also named differently (InfoBoxBattleMech), to allow for easier identification by later editors. I'm going back through your submissions now to add that Categories code, but if you use the template I've created for here at BattleTechWiki, it'll insure that all the articles are similarly formatted. (You can quickly find the QuickStart code on the Help link.)
Again, I'm glad you're here. I was deliberately delaying working on the 'Mech articles because I felt your article design was near-perfect. Revanche 00:45, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
