Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the wiki:

• For policies and guidelines, see The Five Pillars of BattleTechWiki.
• If you want to play around with your new wiki skills, the Sandbox is for you. Don't worry: you won't break anything. A great resource for printing out is the Wiki Cheat Sheet.
• Consider registering at the site (if you haven't already). That way, you'll get name recognition and respect for the effort you put in here.
• Also considering writing something about yourself on your UserPage (marked as Dmon at the top of the page). You'll go from being a 'redshirt' to a 'blueshirt,' with the respect of a more permanent member.
• Introduce yourself at the new user log.
• In your Preferences, under the edit tab, check Add pages I create to my watchlist and Add pages I edit to my watchlist, so that you can see how your efforts have affected the community. Check back on each visit by clicking on my watchlist.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random button in the sidebar, or check out the List of Wanted Pages. Or even go to Special Pages to see what weird stuff is actually tracked by this wiki.
• Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

BTW, wanted to say 'good edits.' Always glad to see someone start off strong. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 20:34, 12 February 2007 (CST)

WikiProject Military Commands

I created a new WikiProject to encompass all military commands. Since you've done a lot of work in the past with them, please come over and sign up so that we can improve the coverage of all units. --Scaletail 14:16, 14 February 2009 (PST)

Split the Work?

Hey Dmon, looks like you're going well with the Draconis Combine Commands. I was going there next, but how about I leave it to you and I'll go on to FWL commands next?Alkemita 09:27, 5 March 2009 (PST)

Title typos

Hey, Dmon. If there is a typo in the title of an article, you can move it the article, rather than blanking and creating a new one. Just click "move" at the top of the article you want to move, then type in the title you want to move it to. --Scaletail 12:13, 28 February 2009 (PST)

Non-canon tag

First off, I was going to write up to say thanks for adding new articles. Your work continues to be appreciated. As for the tag, I /believe/ it is only intended to be used on source articles, such as the article about the MechWarrior I game. Frabby could better define it's intent, but I think it was meant to be limited to source articles because actual canonicity is not determined by use here at BTW. (In that light, the tag could be better worded.) I'll leave it up to you if you want to continue to use the tag, until the issue is clarified. Thanks. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 19:55, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey Revanche, thanks for taking notice. I will continue to use the Tag if that's OK as I intend to do some re-writing of the computer game related articles so that not every sentence contains either "in the game" or "the player" the Tag puts the source upfront. --Dmon 20:36, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I think removing the OOC presence is a great idea. Good idea.

Side note: to ident, use the colon (:), not spaces. Spaces create that funky box that was wrapped around your response. To sign, use four tildes (~~~~), or just click on that button to the right of the NO circle (the one that looks like a cursive word).

Just to respond to your comment about using the tag to "[put] the source upfront": tags are generally used to call attention to an article that has a problem needing fixing. You don't intend to say there is anything wrong with the article you write and you've been good at referencing the source article down below. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 20:27, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Sadly my info on the game is restricted to the contents of the Wiki but the OOC aspect and the huge amount of info that is repeated makes the articles come across as very sloppy (says me who has never written a decent article from scratch so no insult to Frabby). and thanks for the signature tip I have been confused by that since I joined. --Dmon 20:36, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

7th Imperial City Militia‎ Question

Hi Dmon, like how you added this militia unit to the site. Question: Do you think could add category Militia Commands? I'm trying get more into the category since there not normally listed. I've not had a chance to add more militia profiles.

Would Category Militia Commands be a sub category of Military Commands or its own Category in effect separating the front-line units and the second-line units. --Dmon 16:50, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

New military command articles

Dmon, please add to those 10 or so articles you started last night as soon as possible. BTW prefers not to have empty articles, and while I realize you're not intending to just list them because they exist but build them up as complete articles, there is some concern they might have been abandoned. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 16:31, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
