Welcome
Welcome, SilverCyanide, 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 "SilverCyanide" 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!

Joyeux Corsaire
Hey, SilverCyanide, I notice you tried to tag Joyeux Corsaire for deletion. So you know: the way to do that is with {{delete}}. In this case, however, it has since been fixed.
Have a look at Category talk:Articles with no sources for an explanation. Most things in that category, we are trying hard to salvage. Most of the ones that were delete-on-sight, Dmon already did. If there is one you feel should not be salvaged, open a discussion on its talk page or on that category talk page and let's thrash it out. :)
Finally, let me direct your attention to the left where it says "Template Gallery" under "Editing BTW", just below the search bar. (If you are reading this on Desktop, that is.) It takes you to Help:Template gallery which has all the templates you might need and a couple that are frankly out of date but still might be found in the wild. Happy Editing!--Talvin (talk) 18:31, 27 May 2022 (EDT)
Thanks for the heads up!
Duchess of Highspire
Hey SC,
Just checking your edit to Duchess of Highspire, the cited source only mentions Kali not Romano. Have you copy pasted the citation and forgotten to update the info?--Dmon (talk) 15:07, 13 June 2022 (EDT)
I don't have the exact page from the Warrior series, but Romano was Duchess of Highspire prior to becoming Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation, as per her own article on the wiki as well.
