Welcome

Welcome, Fish, 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 "Fish" 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!

Awards board

I set up a board on your user page. Thanks for jumping in and helping us add those scores of characters to our wiki! Csdavis715 (talk) 20:56, 31 October 2023 (EDT)

Much appreciated, hopefully I'm just getting started! User:Fish (talk) 18:32, 31 October 2023 (PST)

High quality "minor" character pages

You've done some really really good work building those character pages. You've created such a high volume of high quality articles in such a short period time about these oft-overlooked characters. I have no doubt that some of the BT writers will be viewing the pages you created when brainstorming for their next works. Also much appreciation for following various indicated (and sometimes unspoken) formatting guidelines. I don't know if this award exactly fits the situation, but the title of it certain does. Csdavis715 (talk) 21:31, 22 November 2023 (EST)

Just a few of your amazing pages: Stephan Cooper, Arisota Neece, Bella Bragg, Justin Leabo, Michael Lipstein, Laura Hamilton, Oscar Carlson, Jimmie Kirston, Julius Gramstad, Lisa Bortman.

Thanks for the kind words! I can safely say I wasn't expecting some of those pages to become as big as they did but I definitely appreciate the award :D Fish (Fish) 18:42, 22 November 2023 (PST)

I just want to drop in and say that I fully agree with what CS has said, your work has been noticed by the site Admins, and I even plan to include you in my next round of awards when I get to it.--Dmon (talk) 21:48, 22 November 2023 (EST)

Award

For your significant clean-up of the Freeminders article. Much appreciated.--Cache (talk) 13:10, 24 December 2023 (EST)

Thank you! I'm always happy to help!--Fish (talk) 02:57, 25 December 2023 (PST)

For your expansion of the Jihad chronology page, the military regions pages, and continued expansion of our character database (helping to push us beyond 25,000 pages total), you've earned this little tiny pin on your chest. Csdavis715 (talk) 02:38, 12 April 2024 (EDT)

Thanks a ton! As always, I'm looking forwards to doing even more in the future! The shiny award is very appreciated :) Fish (talk) 00:15, 12 April 2024 (PST)
