Project Planets
Welcome to the Planets WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving BattleTechWiki's coverage of Planets. Feel free to join in by adding your name to the group, grabbing an article to complete or weighing in on the discussion.
- Goals
- Catalog every planetary system
- Provide owner (faction) occupancy through all known time periods
- Provide distance to nearby planets, including those within two jumps (60 LY)
- Provide details on component manufacturers (BattleMech, weapon, vehicle, etc) on the system, if any exist
- Scope
- Any planetary system recognized in FASA, FanPro or MW:DA products
News
- August 2011 (Doneve/(Revanche)
- Preparations for the forthcoming Planet Overhaul effort have begun, to include:
- Faction categorization (Doneve/(Revanche)
- Project mainpage updating & cleanup, including refreshing the membership (Revanche)
- New template development (Mbear)
- Discussion of new article template (all concerned)
- 2010 (Doneve)
- Y: Coordinate cleanup finished
- December 8 2007 (Nicjansma)
- I re-generated all of the "nearby planets" images for the planets. Changes include:
- Changing the X values of nearby planets to be their correct values -- previously, the nearby planet's X values were reversed, so it was like looking into a mirror.
- Decreasing the font size and line-weight of nearby planets to make the image less crowded.
- Coloring planet names for factions in specific colors to show friendly/hostile neighbors.
- December 8 2007 (Nicjansma)
- Formalizing this page a bit more
- November 2006 (Revanche)
- Initial mock-up done: Project:Planets is now open. Please sign up.
Guidelines
- The original wiki text for all 3,000+ planetary systems was auto-generated from the ISCS planetary data. System locations, nearby planets, images of nearby planets, and manufacturing centers was auto-generated and imported by Nicjansma.
Open tasks
- Currently re-writing the project for the forthcoming launch of the Planet Overhaul team effort.

- I've published the template. It is available as Template:InfoBoxPlanet. Bdevoe 08:25, 26 October 2007 (CDT)
- I working on a template centering on on the star system Template:InfoBoxStarSystem, separating the data relavant to the star system itself vs individual planets themselves. I have started with Terra as that has three individual planets. Is there other specific data for the system itself that I have not included? I am still working on the planet/human data itselfNathan Brazil 15:19, 31 March 2009 (PDT)
