==List of Minis and Products==
  
Hello! I am new to both BattleTech and Wiki editing, but I have experience with data manipulation of various sorts.  As a new player, I've found it very frustrating to track down Minis (and Record Sheets) to their sources.  Some lists already exist, but they weren't in locations or in formats I found useful as a new player, and they are very spread out.

I started fiddling around on my User page, trying out different table formats for listing Mini products and [[User:Dude_RB]] suggested I flag you down.

Ideally, we can figure out some way to format the data concisely and with minimal maintenance.  Of course, just because I like big monolithic lists doesn't mean that's the best way for everyone, so that's also a consideration.  Not sure I have the perspective/experience to make that call.

:I would take a look at the [[BattleTechWiki:Project_Semantic|Project for using Semantic]] on the wiki. The concerns are mostly that it may make regular editing to complex, if it is introduced. --[[User:Deadfire|Deadfire]] ([[User talk:Deadfire|talk]]) 21:01, 22 January 2023 (EST)
