All Purpose Award
I appreciate the numerous edits you've made to learn the template system and then upgrade those 30+ 'Mech articles with the missing fields. For this, I award you the Editors' All Purpose Award. 
(I'd put it in an awards board for you, but since you directed your user page to here, I don't want to mess up your intent.) Again, thanks.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 08:01, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

Hiya,
why did you redirect the IndustrialMech infobox to the BattleMech infobox? I'm not sure if I agree though not totally opposed either. BattleMechs and IndustrialMechs are treated as distinct unit types by the construction rules, and the infoboxes, while similar, aren't identical (c.f. BAR). And if we're really lumping things together, shouldn't it then be the InfoBoxMech? Frabby (talk) 04:40, 13 September 2017 (EDT)
- Reducing the number of templates (and standardizing the parameter names) makes it easier to add new features to them. Redirecting IndMech meant I didn't have to remake all of the automatic categorization, for example.
- As for the indmech-specific parameters, no articles actually used BAR. It would be easy to add to InfoBoxBattleMech if it's important to you. I did add support for other industrialmech-specific fields, like Use, Equipment, and Equipment Rating.
- I don't especially care what the template is named. As long as you fix the double-redirects, you can rename it to whatever you'd like. Cease to Hope (talk) 21:56, 13 September 2017 (EDT)
