Trade Associations

Everybody probably loves my belated afterthoughts; but wouldn’t "Mercantile Association" be a better term? Also, what about overlap with similar organisations like Political Organizations (eg. BranthKeepers]])? Frabby (talk) 07:53, 12 January 2022 (EST)

I had to actually look it up before posting last night and Trade Association is the correct term. Suprisingly Trade Association has an article on wikipedia and loads of hits on ecosia (my favored search engine) but plugging Mercantile Association into ecosia our own Ozawa Mercantile Association article comes up as the fourth spot. As for overlap, it is pretty huge and we very likely could do without the TA category, but I feel it is worth having just to seperate stuff like the MRBC and Solaris Gaming Commission out from stuff like Democracy Now or Free Skye.--Dmon (talk) 08:40, 12 January 2022 (EST)

InfoBoxFirearm

Hi Dmon,

Not sure if you did the change, but the color of InfoBoxFirearm is not giving good contract with letters in black, at least for me it is a bit more complex to read? Could we change the color of the box?

Regards, Pere Serrat--Pserratv (talk) 12:55, 24 January 2022 (EST)

hey PS, we didn't have an infoBox at all so FireArms is one I have in development, I thought it might be cool to have a "camo green" shade for the infantry weapons but it does not really work. I shall find a lighter shade.--Dmon (talk) 02:34, 25 January 2022 (EST)

The idea is superb, the only thing is the detail on the color that makes it reading very complex!--Pserratv (talk) 05:44, 25 January 2022 (EST)

I have changed the color to a lighter shade that hopfully works better.--Dmon (talk) 05:47, 25 January 2022 (EST)

Great, it looks perfect and readable!--Pserratv (talk) 05:56, 25 January 2022 (EST)

Uncategorized categories

This category Uncategorized categories is getting bigger. I'm trying to group some of them, but sincerely I do not know how to make it better... I feel some of them if not most can be part of an existing category.--Pserratv (talk) 05:45, 25 January 2022 (EST)

I would not worry too much about it. Most of them are wiki functions rather than editor stuff or are fairly self contained, Category:BattleTech Universe Products for example is intended as a "top of the ladder" category that covers product ever made that canbe associated with BT. Some, like Category:Characters and Category:Stellar Cartography could possibly go up one step to say Category:BattleTech Universe but after that I think that is the top of that ladder as well.--Dmon (talk) 05:58, 25 January 2022 (EST)

Some of it, like Category:BattleTech Publications Record Property is Deadfire doing... something. Deadfire is fantastic at wiki code but I have no idea what he is aiming for, certainly not having useful features or fixing things we need. The best way to describe my conversations with him on the subject would be:

• Me - "Deadfire, what does that code you just put on the wiki do?"
• DF - "Pressing the A key on your keyboard to type the letter A is great, now we have 17 new ways to type the letter A, each one much more complicated than simply pressing the A key. Isn't that an amazing feature to have?"
• Me - "But why?"
• DF - "Because it makes the wiki much better having 18 ways to type the letter A"
• Me - (facepalm)

RE: Battle of Nashira

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! The First FedSuns Lancers' part of the battle of 3039 already had a lot of wordy details that didn't pertain to the unit, so trimming it down was essential. Starting work on the Nashira article now! Mage (talk) 10:13, 25 January 2022 (EST)

I thought it might be something you would be interestedcin,--Dmon (talk) 10:55, 25 January 2022 (EST)

Appreciate it! The formatting didn't make sense to me but looks way better now. Making a mental note of it! Mage (talk) 20:10, 26 January 2022 (EST)

House Humphreys family tree

Since you're pretty much the expert, I wanted to raise the position of Samuel Humphreys with you in the family tree on the House Humphreys page. It says Morgaine, Catherine's aunt, would have had two unknown siblings. But we don't know that. Samuel could be Morgaine's child (and not be eligible as her successor for some reason; we know that Morgaine pretty much groomed Catherine to succeed her anyways so maybe he simply didn't want the job). Or am I missing some information?

Sidenote, according to the one of the German-only Andurien Wars novels Catherine sent her son Richard into exile after Dalma's birth and he lived with his uncle Samuel on Kanata, an ancient Humphreys fief, for a time. Unless that uncle was on his (unnamed) father's side, I presume that might have been Samuel Humphreys, cousin not sibling to Richard's mother. By extension, it could thus be speculated that Delburton is on Kanata. Frabby (talk) 10:51, 28 January 2022 (EST)
