Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the wiki:

• For policies and guidelines, see The Five Core Policies of BattleTechWiki and the BTW Policies. Another good place to check out is our market of Projects, to see how the smaller communities within BTW do things in their particular niche areas.
• Each and every page (articles, policies, projects, images, etc.) has its very own discussion/talk page, found on the tab line at the top of the page. This is a great place to find out what the community is discussing along that subject and what previous issues have already been solved.
• If you want to play around with your new wiki skills, the Sandbox is for you. Don't worry: you won't break anything. A great resource for printing out is the Wiki Cheat Sheet.
• If you're not registered, then please consider doing so. At the very least, you'll have a UserPage that you own, rather than sharing one with the community.
• Also consider writing something about yourself on your UserPage (marked as "ClanWolverine101" at the top of the page, though only do this if you're registered). You'll go from being a 'redshirt' to a 'blueshirt,' with the respect of a more permanent member.
  • This is really helpful for the admins, as it gives your account that touch of "humanity" that assists us in our never-ending battle with spambots.
• For your first few edits on the wiki, please do not add any URLs (which can be an indicator of SPAM).
• Consider introducing yourself on our Discord server.
• In your Preferences, under the edit tab, consider checking Add pages I create to my watchlist and Add pages I edit to my watchlist, so that you can see how your efforts have affected the community. Check back on following visits by clicking on watchlist.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random button in the sidebar, or check out the List of Wanted Pages. Or even go to Special Pages to see what weird stuff is actually tracked by this wiki.
• Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the circled button in this image; this will automatically produce your name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date.

Again, welcome to Sarna's BattleTechWiki!

Sign

As a courtesy for other Editors, it is a BattleTechWiki guideline to sign your talk page and user talk page posts. To do so simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments; you can also use the 3rd button on the left of the edit bar () to automatically place it in the location of your cursor. Your user name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date will be automatically added along with a timestamp. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info see the talk page guidelines. Thank you.

ClanWolverine101, please /do/ sign your comments on talk pages. If you don't, someone (usually me), has to do the research to find out who it was that made the comment. Thank you. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 05:02, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Apologies - I missed the appropriate command to do so. I'll reread your protocols. ClanWolverine101

Cosara Weaponries

Evening, ClanWolverine101. I saw your removal of the statement regarding Cosara Weaponries from the Northwind Highlanders article. Because I don't want to discourage a new Editor, especially one working so hard as you, I'm not gonna dispute that, but it is generally our policy to post a {{citation needed}} tag after something that doesn't seem right to you. That way, multiple Editors have the opportunity to research the fact, rather than just losing the information. If someone hasn't updated the statement with a verifiable citation, then you are free to delete it. That tag, and others, can be found in the left-side column in the Template gallery. Thanks. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 02:08, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Understood, and thank you. I started having second thoughts about my original note, thinking maybe it was in regards to the Cosara factories on Terra, not Northwind that I was thinking of. Regardless, I would not have zapped it arbitrarily if it had been someone else's posting.ClanWolverine101

Really? Good thing I didn't roll you back again. I didn't know you had posted it. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 04:06, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, shoot - I'd never just delete a section of someone else's work without at least sticking something specific in the discussion page. When I think something is incorrect, I usually just post to "Talk", and see if I get a response. ClanWolverine101

Random Act of Appreciation Award

ClanWolverine101, I grant you the Random Act of Appreciation Award for your numerous improvement edits this past weekend, especially in regards to cleaning up citations, such as those you made to 145th Jaguar Regulars (Clan Smoke Jaguar):

I took the liberty of adding an awards board to your main page. You might want to check your user count and self-award yourself an Edit Count ribbon after a few more edits. Thanks. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you!!! ClanWolverine101

Notable Pilots Project

So something I'm planning on focusing on is hitting all the 'VIP' type bios and listing what mechs they were known to use, in the standard section. Conversely, I would go to the mech pages and add the 'VIP' types as 'Notable Pilots'. Does this sound good? ClanWolverine101

Yep. But it would have to be a really notable person, because we don't want to spam the 'Mech entries with pilot names. Most "notable pilots" from the TROs are in fact nobodies who may get their own IC character entry on BTW, but do not deserve a mention as a notable pilot. Further, I feel (but this is just my personal opinion) that the 'Mech and its notable pilot should be identified with each other to some notable degree. Natasha Kerensky and her Warhammer are an immediate match; by contrast, Sun Tzu Liao piloted numerous designs at various points but is not really associated with any particular 'Mech.
