Revision as of 16:55, 12 June 2021
- This challenge (started on 05 June 2021) is to create an essay (i.e., a page not within the usual BattleTechWiki article space) that will help guide readers unfamiliar with the Dark Age Era through that period, in preparation for the ilClan Era. The focus of this essay (which will be featured on the Sarna Main Page and relevant articles) is to chronologize all the products on CGL's Recommended Reading list (and those that are not) for the era, with brief descriptions of how the product advances the timeline or important events, people, technologies, etc., within.
- Additionally, using the consensus process, each of these products will be rated as to how important they are to the reader to understand the Dark Age. (To be clear: we're not rating the product, but the importance of its contents to its influence on the Dark Age era.) The method of rating is up to the team to decide.
- This is a group challenge, so early Editors will have the advantage in guiding how it is presented. This challenge is being hosted for collaboration purposes on the Sarna Discord Community, so Editors should check both this challenge's discussion tab and the Discord channel (#wiki-challenge1) prior to making major editorial changes.
- The challenge will run until the team of volunteers feel the essay is ready for "prime time", with all material placed between the two broad lines below this statement. Editors, on your keyboards...get set...go!
