List of users
Hiya, welcome to Sarna! You asked for a list of users. The answer is "well, sort of":
- There's this Special:ListUsers - but it lists all registered user accounts which is a bit misleading. Many users registered once a couple of years ago and never did a single edit, and a few may even be inactive spambots or the like.
- Then there's this "active users" list, listing those who were actively editing in the last 30 days: Special:ActiveUsers. It gives a slightly better overview of those user accounts who are actually active here. Unfortunately, at this time the list includes a lot of spambots that registered in the past week. These accounts will be deleted eventually, but for now they're only blocked so that our Bureaucrat can investigate them and improve our spam defenses.
- Finally, we've got the BattleTechWiki:New user log page where users can introduce themselves to the community (in addition to whatever they put on their actual user pages). Users who posted there have typically been rather active in the community, but still many entries are from users who have moved on to other endeavours and whose accounts haven't been used in many years.
Hope that helps. Frabby (talk) 02:56, 10 May 2017 (EDT)
- Yes that is helpful thank you. I was looking for a friend of mine. I know the username but a search on that doesn't work. Buzzard (talk) 11:50, 15 May 2017 (EDT)
- Ah well you found me, teach me to use the same user name in different places ... Seriously though those links from Frabby are really useful. I always use the User Scores page in the Awards section to find people. Dark Jaguar (talk) 16:33, 15 May 2017 (EDT)
MechForce UK
Hi again, you mentioned that you've been a MechForce UK member back in the time. That's raised my attention, as I feel the MFUK and its products haven't been covered sufficiently deep here. So if you have anything to add to the MechForce United Kingdom or Comnet articles, or if you have any MFUK product/publication that is redlinked so far and could create the redlinked article - that would be awesome. Also, perhaps an article about Bob Nicholls should be written by someone who knew him, given that he's a pretty prominent character for the MFUK and thus, BattleTech.
Oh, by the way: Turns out I have the Inbound scenario pack myself, found it in my "have to do Sarna writeups on this" box... :) Frabby (talk) 07:26, 18 May 2017 (EDT)
