Special Pilot Abilities

Perhaps it would be best to limit references for SPA's to what is in the core rulebooks rather than individual cards?--Cache (talk) 11:26, 21 February 2022 (EST)

Hi Cache. I have nothing else to refer, that is why I'm using the cards... I'm so advanced now that I'm going to keep with them...--Pserratv (talk) 11:28, 21 February 2022 (EST)

Apocryphal Image Category

It is a little late now, but the {{ApocryphalImage}} tag automatically adds the image to that category. There is no need to manually add the category to each image.--Cache (talk) 08:52, 14 March 2022 (EDT)

Well, there will be more, so if that is the case, less work for me ;)--Pserratv (talk) 11:26, 14 March 2022 (EDT)

Tim Nelson

You created the page Tim Nelson a few years ago, and last night it wound up in Special:LonelyPages. Do you recall anything he might have been an illustrator for? A Google Search gives me nothing, but Jim Nelson did draw a lot of stuff. I am wondering if you might have mistaken a J for a T in a signature?--Talvin (talk) 09:22, 12 April 2022 (EDT)

It is clearly a mistake from my end. Page should be deleted.--Pserratv (talk) 08:58, 14 April 2022 (EDT)

Spanish edition - BattleTech: Refuerzos

Hello Pserratv. In List of BattleTech Products in Spanish#BattleTech: Refuerzos the description appears to be a copy of the AeroTech entry. I suspect that this may be a case of copy and paste where the title (and perhaps other info) was not updated. When you have an opportunity, could you please check and update that entry? --Dude RB (talk) 09:01, 16 April 2022 (EDT)

I'll have to review yes.--Pserratv (talk) 03:40, 19 April 2022 (EDT)

Thanks. --Dude RB (talk) 18:14, 19 April 2022 (EDT)

Marpesia Stables Image

If you want the 50px resolution for this image, you will have to create a 210px image with transparent background surrounding it. It's the only way I've found to get around the issue.--Cache (talk) 12:07, 2 May 2022 (EDT)

Drake Allin

Hey, I've embarked on a project to update the various Bloodname pages and I'm currently working on the Ghost Bears -- there's a character named Star Captain Drake Allin who has both a citation referring to page 40 of Invading Clans and a linked page that gives the same citation. However, I've reviewed Invading Clans and can find no such reference. Can you by any chance point me in the direction of where I might find this character so the citations can be updated? -Hugo Bossk (talk) 18:51, 25 May 2022 (EDT)

Discussion here: Talk:Drake Allin--Talvin (talk) 19:08, 25 May 2022 (EDT)

I've answered there, no good news.--Pserratv (talk) 06:30, 30 May 2022 (EDT)

Cool find

I found a page where someone is talking about an old catalog for Diseños Orbitales. My Spanish is...comprendo un poquito. I thought you might be interested. https://roldelos90.blogspot.com/2016/09/un-catalogo-de-disenos-orbitales-1992.html

--Talvin (talk) 13:05, 1 June 2022 (EDT)

And on that note, I have made Diseños Orbitales.--Talvin (talk) 13:39, 1 June 2022 (EDT)

Thanks! It is interesting to see it. I had one (not this one) long time ago, but died from age...--Pserratv (talk) 04:14, 2 June 2022 (EDT)

Karsten/Bennis Productions

Hey PS,

Just so you know I changed Karsten/Bennis Productions to Karsten-Bennis Productions as the wiki code wants to create a sub page from anything with a slash in the title.--Dmon (talk) 10:39, 7 June 2022 (EDT)

OOO, didn't know. I'll review the links as most probably there are some of them incorrect.--Pserratv (talk) 10:52, 7 June 2022 (EDT)

Template: Format Link

Seeing your past edits on fixing redirects, I want to let you know of this "new" Template we have to make linking of sections in pages easier. As well it can work as a redirect link as well.Template:Format_link --Deadfire (talk) 17:02, 20 June 2022 (EDT)

Good to know. Thanks.--Pserratv (talk) 08:19, 23 June 2022 (EDT)

Lider

Morning, Pserratv. Question of pure curiosity from me: why is the word "LiDER" backwards on this image of the Warhammer II? All of the other words display properly.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 11:50, 21 June 2022 (EDT)

I've possessed this for ages and never saw that detail. Most probably it is an error preparing the pages... usually is written correctly.--Pserratv (talk) 08:18, 23 June 2022 (EDT)

I've been checking them all, and LiDER is the spell in all of them I see two options Revanche:

• They wanted to make it special.
• In spanisht the word is Líder, so maybe to make it more international they took out the accent but kept the letter in non-capital letters. I sincerely do not know how this works now, but when I studied it was not needed to put accents in capital letters, but a must with non-capital

Hope it helps--Pserratv (talk) 11:18, 11 October 2022 (EDT)

ER medium laser capitalization

Hello! Just wanted to say that, at least to my understanding, ER medium lasers aren't capitalized, just like medium lasers. If I am wrong, do feel free to jab me! -Breenland (talk) 15:40, 15 September 2022 (EDT)

Sincerely speaking, there has been so much movement on this topic that I'm totally lost...--Pserratv (talk) 10:21, 22 September 2022 (EDT)

BattleCorps page numbers

Hi Pserratv

I see you've added page numbers to some of the BattleCorps citations. Can you tell me where these come from? Madness Divine (talk) 13:40, 24 October 2022 (EDT)

There was a recap PDF with all the articles base on these list:

• List of Arts and Leisure articles
• List of General INN articles
• List of Isle of the Blessed articles
• List of MilSpecs articles
• List of ScandalVids articles
• List of Solaris Broadcasting Co. articles

I'm using this.--Pserratv (talk) 05:54, 25 October 2022 (EDT)

I didn't run across a recap PDF last time I went through the site's downloads section. Do you have a URL for it? Madness Divine (talk) 11:29, 25 October 2022 (EDT)

I think they were shared to me by User:HF22 himself.--Pserratv (talk) 12:33, 25 October 2022 (EDT)

Thanks. I think that might be a limited-access document I read about, so I won't ask him for a copy. Madness Divine (talk) 14:32, 26 October 2022 (EDT)

technical category

Hey PS,

Deadfire has asked me have a word with you about you creating the "technical category for administration purposes" stuff. I am not sure what they do, but Deadfire seems pretty unhappy about them so could you hold off on creating more and possibly consider having a conversation with DF about what needs doing on the wiki regarding such stuff.--Dmon (talk) 12:41, 8 January 2023 (EST)

no worries, i'll do. But all those pages are appearing as top wanted pages when they are nothing.--Pserratv (talk) 16:33, 8 January 2023 (EST)

Spanish translations

Hi, Pserratv.

I found some epub translations on Anna's Archive that I think were a fan project. Fin de partida, Punto de conflagracion, Patriotas y tiranos, and Tormentas del destino; Silencio en el paraíso and Verdades y sombras by Martin Delrio; and La forja de un héroe, Operacion audacia, and Rugido de honor by Blaine Lee Pardoe. Have you heard anything about these? Madness Divine (talk) 21:39, 25 March 2023 (EDT)

Yes, they are the spanish translations of these books. I do not have them (indeed in spanihs I basically have both trilogies and a couple more.--Pserratv (talk) 11:49, 30 March 2023 (EDT)

Do you know whether they're official products or fan translations? Madness Divine (talk) 18:50, 30 March 2023 (EDT)

Hi, in this link List of BattleTech Print Novels in Spanish you can find the ones I identified as original. There are some from an Anna, but the rest. I mean there are original translations of them. I simply don't have them though.--Pserratv (talk) 05:27, 31 March 2023 (EDT)

Disambig pages

Pserratv, the new disambig MoS is to have them on the pages without (disambiguation) in the title. You can confirm with Dmon if you want. --Csdavis715 (talk) 08:03, 12 July 2023 (EDT)

Sorry, didn't know that. Are you also then cross-reversing this, because it is quite a work to be done--Pserratv (talk) 08:06, 12 July 2023 (EDT)

No worries. Yea, it's going to take a bit of time going through them all. Maybe months. But undo'ing the ones from the last few minutes I can take care of. --Csdavis715 (talk) 08:08, 12 July 2023 (EDT)

Helping out with Family Trees

Hey Ps, just looking at your new Dinah Marik article. It is good that these last characters from the family trees get added, but could you do me a favor and when doing characters with relatives, could you be sure to add citations to the family members in the infobox as well. Even if it is all the same reference it saves me having to go check next time I am doing family tree work!--Dmon (talk) 11:51, 11 September 2023 (EDT)

Will do that. It is a copy of ond of the brothers, who does not have it. There will be a loooot of with that! 🤣--Pserratv (talk) 15:33, 11 September 2023 (EDT)

Sorry for slow reply, I had not noticed that you had replied. And yes, sadly there will be a LOT of copy/paste the same reference but it is better than trying to put it into the family tree itself. (you have seen how horrible the code is for them even without references). So when somebody clicks on a character in a tree, we need them to see all the siblings etc are referenced, just so people can feel confident the tree is correct.

Also, reversed your edit adding in the Devalis surname to Carolina Devalis's mother as we don't know she had the same surname. (She likely did as this is BattleTech).--Dmon (talk) 07:35, 15 September 2023 (EDT)

Where I live marriage does not carry a change in surnames, but in Battletech universe it seems it is always the "saxon" way, that was the point, but OK with your change.--Pserratv (talk) 07:42, 15 September 2023 (EDT)

I actually agree you are likely correct, but we don't actually know for sure.--Dmon (talk) 08:31, 15 September 2023 (EDT)
