This WikiProject was formed to better manage the BattleTechWiki's myriad templates. This page contains their many useful suggestions, and it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other editors. If you would like to help, please inquire on the project's talk page and see the to-do list.
Conducting efforts to better organize, document and display all templates in the template namespace, including: navigation templates, infobox templates, inline templates, image copyright tags and much more.

Improving the general documentation on how to create and use templates, in addition to improving the documentation pages of the individual templates.
Clean-up of the unused, unneeded and/or redundant templates.
Providing help and guidance in creating, updating, correcting and testing templates.
Attempt to use the most "liked" icons, referencing what Wikipedia is using for it
Doing once over of all Category:Template documentation pages (1,295) to make sure templates not only have them, but making sure the doc is understandable.

Modify examples to match our use cases.
Remove technical wordage that wouldn't be useful to our users.
