Welcome

Welcome, Doneve, to BattleTechWiki!

We look forward to your contributions and want to help you get off to a good strong start. Hopefully you will soon join the army of BattleTech Editors! If you need help formatting the pages, visit the manual of style. For general questions go to the Help section or the FAQ. If you can't find your answer there, please ask an Admin.

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

• For policies and guidelines, see The Five Core Policies of BattleTechWiki and the BTW Policies. Another good place to check out is our market of Projects, to see how the smaller communities within BTW do things in their particular niche areas.
• Each and every page (articles, policies, projects, images, etc.) has its very own discussion/talk page, found on the tab line at the top of the page. This is a great place to find out what the community is discussing along that subject and what previous issues have already been solved.
• 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.
• If you're not registered, then please consider doing so. At the very least, you'll have a UserPage that you own, rather than sharing one with the community.
• Also consider writing something about yourself on your UserPage (marked as "Doneve" at the top of the page, though only do this if you're registered). You'll go from being a 'redshirt' to a 'blueshirt,' with the respect of a more permanent member.
  • This is really helpful for the admins, as it gives your account that touch of "humanity" that assists us in our never-ending battle with spambots.
• For your first few edits on the wiki, please do not add any URLs (which can be an indicator of SPAM).
• Consider introducing yourself on our Discord server.
• In your Preferences, under the edit tab, consider checking 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 following visits by clicking on 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 (~~~~) or by clicking on the circled button in this image; this will automatically produce your name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date.

Again, welcome to Sarna's BattleTechWiki!

Sourcebook Search

Hello. I am looking for a Sourcebook where Sun Tzu Liao talked about Isis Marik after he broke off the engagement. It was first person, maybe from his journal/diary? I remember reading it but can't remember the name now. Any help is welcome.--Aldous (talk) 20:03, 5 January 2014 (PST)

It is a Novel, i have it not to hand at the moment, but i talk to you when iam back from travel at end of the week.--Doneve (talk) 22:20, 5 January 2014 (PST)

I'm just guessing, but I think its The Killing Fields? ClanWolverine101 (talk) 22:22, 13 January 2014 (PST)

Need Templates to Follow

I would like to make an article on the Lorix Order, Sarna Mandate, etc. I also want to add a new combat regiment. What templates should I use? Also, I would like to rewrite the CapCon article to reflect the Handbook. The original comstar House Book was full of errors.--Aldous (talk) 04:57, 19 January 2014 (PST)

Be careful when you work on the CapCon article - I found when I was working up articles for the Tikonov Union, Tikonov Grand Union, Capellan Holdfast/Republic/Hegemony/Commonality et al that there's a lot of detail in the original House book that's absent from the Handbook, but not contradicted by it, in particular when looking at the Age of War and pre-Age of War eras. The House book is perhaps the most detailed of all of the early FASA House books when it comes to the early history of the various states in the region, so you'll need to be careful to keep in the bits from both that don't contradict each other.

The Help & How-to link on the left sidebar has templates for a lot of different article types in it, although I've found that in some cases, it's easier to take an existing article of the same type and use that as a template. Which combat regiment are you looking to write an article for? BrokenMnemonic (talk) 05:44, 19 January 2014 (PST)

The St. Ives Academy Martial Cadre. I was surprised it didn't have one at all.--Aldous (talk) 16:40, 19 January 2014 (PST)

It's probably just a reflection of where and when the unit was first mentioned - with everything here outside specific projects being updated on a fairly random basis because it's all volunteer efforts, if no-one who noticed was interested enough to write an article, it would never have been written. I'd suggest that for the St. Ives Academy Martial Cadre a good starting point would be to take the article for the Sarna Martial Academy Cadre, copy and paste it into a text editor and rework it offline to represent the St. Ives cadre instead. That's how I've been slowly working through things like the Tikonov Lancers units as and when work gives me a break. BrokenMnemonic (talk) 23:48, 19 January 2014 (PST)

Wikibreak

Hy Doneve,
I hope the wikibreak goes well. You'd better not be pushing yourself too hard - the nurses may be cute, but they aren't worth another trip to the hospital!
I'm currently doing 12-14 hour days for work at the moment, so I'm getting almonst nothing done here, but I keep telling myself that hopefully it'll only be for another few weeks... BrokenMnemonic (talk) 01:02, 22 January 2014 (PST)

Hope your feel better, Doneve. -- Wrangler (talk) 18:22, 28 January 2014 (PST)

I just saw the well wishes here. Goodness, I hope you feel better very soon!

Meine Mutter sagt immer, "halt die Ohren steif!" Gute Verbesserung!--S.gage (talk) 00:14, 29 January 2014 (PST)

Thanks guys, to much work and not much time, but at this weekend i can contribute a little bit :).--Doneve (talk) 06:34, 15 February 2014 (PST)

Hope your feeling better, Doneve. -- Wrangler (talk) 12:27, 15 February 2014 (PST)

What do you think

Hello Doneve, I hope you feeling fien. I have a short request at you. What is your opinion about my new brigade layout like the X corps of the SLDF. Furthermore you can take a look of two different versions of the formating. Tnx Neuling (talk) 17:11, 22 February 2014 (PST)

Question

What do you call the factoid when the book authors make a mistake that needs to be corrected in an errata?--Aldous (talk) 06:59, 23 February 2014 (PST)
