Welcome[edit]

Welcome, Nellac77, to BattleTechWiki!

We look forward to your contributions and want to help you get off to a good strong start. Hopefully you will soon join the army of BattleTech Editors! If you need help formatting the pages, visit the manual of style. For general questions go to the Help section or the FAQ. If you can't find your answer there, please ask an Admin.


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 "Nellac77" 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!

Welcome and possibly a job[edit]

Hey Nellac,

Welcome to the wiki and upon reading your entry on the new user page I might have something you can help with. Not quite text analysis but I note that you are reading the novels in order. I have been re-reading them myself but in no real order. One of the things I am doing is adding place names to planet articles, cities, towns etc. If you fancy making notes as you read it would be a great help.--Dmon (talk) 19:38, 12 February 2020 (EST)

I would love to help. A few caveats: I just started Assumption of Risk, so all books prior (The Sword and the Dagger through Natural Selection) will take some convincing to go back through right now, and I read at a varied pace. If these things are good with you, I am down. If you would like to discuss what you are after in more detail, I invite you to join the Everything BattleTech discord server. If you are already on it, disregard. My username is the same. Please feel free to message me directly and I will begin immediately. Cheers! --Nellac77 (talk) 22:35, 12 February 2020 (EST)
I would not dream of asking you to go back! I love doing wiki stuff but even for me that would be a big ask. I personally need to leave a book a good year or so before I can re-read it again. I asked specifically because it is something that can be done alongside what you are already doing. It is 7:30am here in old blighty so I have other stuff to do right now but I will pop back later today and have a look at that discord.--Dmon (talk) 02:36, 13 February 2020 (EST)
Looks like I may have a decent grip of communicating here now. Sorry for back-and-forth. If you want to hit me with specifics you are looking for, how you want the information formatted and returned to you, or any other instructions on this, let me know. Cheers! --Nellac77 (talk) 08:12, 14 February 2020 (EST)
