Delete Pages 2021 I

Hi Dmon,

Can you please delete this page: James Stroud‎. There are two, one from LC and another from FWL. I've created both and now I'm going to create a disambiguation page, but this one makes no sense to exist.--Pserratv (talk) 10:48, 12 January 2021 (EST)

Instead of deleting it I have set it up as a redirect to the disambiguation page. That ok with you?--Dmon (talk) 10:56, 12 January 2021 (EST)

Yes of course.--Pserratv (talk) 11:05, 12 January 2021 (EST)

Commercial links

Hi Dmon. Do you know if there is a policy regarding BT-related commercial links? This user added one Special:Contributions/GreenJAG and I didn't see anything with a quick search.--Cache (talk) 15:12, 18 January 2021 (EST)

Hey Cache, I noticed that myself and have to admit that I do not know, I am going to reverse the edit as a cautionary measure, but I intend to consult with the holdhands on the admin team.--Dmon (talk) 17:49, 18 January 2021 (EST)

How can I add you a random act of appreciation flag?

Just that!--Pserratv (talk) 11:51, 18 February 2021 (EST)

You can find the codes here and if they already have a ribbon, copy paste the newer one over it.--Dmon (talk) 12:06, 18 February 2021 (EST)

Just realised, you giving it to me? Haha thank you brother! --Dmon (talk) 12:07, 18 February 2021 (EST)

Yes, I just did :).--Pserratv (talk) 05:35, 19 February 2021 (EST)

Image Categories

Hi Dmon,

Do you know how the system maps are generated? All those images don't have a category and this makes the Uncategorized files not very useful as from the first 1000 thousand maybe 95% images as these ones. And I do not want to put them in a category as this might affect the "program" that generates them. Do you know who can help? Maybe when the image is generated it can be put in a category like "System Images". I'm asking more people, but do you have any idea?--Pserratv (talk) 04:20, 8 March 2021 (EST)

Sadly I have no idea how the images are generated beyond the fact that they have some kind of bot that apparently updates them. Nic is the best person to ask I think. I would love to know because there are several changes I would like to see put into place with the system images.--Dmon (talk) 06:13, 8 March 2021 (EST)

Spies and Assassins Category

Hi Dmon,

Are you trying to remove the characters from this category because you feel it brings nothing and because we have no other category for a profession?--Pserratv (talk) 10:35, 9 March 2021 (EST)

Mostly because of the profession aspect as it goes against the grain of the rest of the wiki, but I confess I have always disliked the category in general as it is a bit vague.--Dmon (talk) 10:41, 9 March 2021 (EST)

Bug Mechs & Category:Technology

To explain why I rolled back your edit and reinstated Category:Technology for this article, the Bug Mech concept exists in-universe (unlike Flashbulbs and Zombie Mechs which by contrast only exist in player parlance) and as such I reckon it does describe a BT technology aspect.

Adding Design Programs in Left Menu

Do you think is worth adding a direct link the the design softwares? The pages I've been adding: Category:Battletech Design Software.--Pserratv (talk) 05:12, 22 March 2021 (EDT)

Delete Pages 2021 II

Hi Dmon,

Can you please delete these pages:

• Category:Clan Sea Fox Ships
• Category:FedCom Civil War Sourcebook Gallery
• Category:Manei Domini Vehicles Images

• Facility 12-E
• Rochelle Protectorate Militia Division--Pserratv (talk) 09:20, 23 March 2021 (EDT)

A request: Please also delete the associated Talk pages when deleting pages (I already did this for the above), otherwise we have orphaned Talk pages for deleted articles. Frabby (talk) 02:05, 24 March 2021 (EDT)

Kerensky's Orion

I'm curious: Why did you remove the cover images from the gallery showing Kerensky's Orion? To wit, it sure seems to be the same 'Mech, marked with "01" and "AK" (the latter not visible on the LoT2 cover). Since all these images already exist on Sarna and are used in other contexts, I don't see why they shouldn't be put into this article. Frabby (talk) 09:11, 29 March 2021 (EDT)
