*[[User:CJKeys|CJKeys]] developed the current format used for BattleMechs (and adapted for every other unit type). The current concept for BattleMechs has that there are five sections:
+
*
−
**Description : a basic description of the 'Mech
+
*
−
**Armament : what does it carry and some notes on the same; not to be a simple list, but a narrative
+
*
−
**Variants : list each type of variant seen, and if not from CBT, indicate so, ''in italics''.
+
*
−
**References : links to the books or other source material used in any way to contribute to the article
 
−
**Infobox : created with pre-established fields that need to be filled in with the relevant info
 
−
*One thing to consider is that the articles tend towards to an in-character (IC) role, though there are some obvious out-of-character (OOC) bits included (ex: BV). In the text, if going OOC, use italics.
 
−
*Link everything, at least once. If the term is [[Star League]], link to it. If [[House Marik]] is referenced in the text, link to it. Link to other unit types, like [[DropShip]]s. If the same term is used a lot, especially in the same paragraph, feel free to link only once. But link, even if the linked article does not yet exist: it will someday!
 
−
*Italicize the name of the 'Mech being written about (don't link to it!). Do this for each mention.
 
−
*In the variants section, don't list the whole designation again. For example, if the ''HCT-3F [[Hatchetman]]'' is the primary article, in the variatnt section, start off each entry from the hyphen, followed by a space, another hyphen and one more space. For example:
 
−
**''-4M'' - The variant entry looks like this...

*Discuss what categories, outside those limited to BattleMechs, should be attached to each 'mech article. (See talk page.)

−
*Edit for mis-spellings, grammatical and formatting mistakes for current articles.
 
−
*Place the Project BattleMech messagebox (see '''Tags''' below) on each 'Mech discussion page.
