Hi Wrangler! I have seen the request you put on Scaletail's talk page. As a registered user, you should be able to "move" articles yourself (you should have a Move button in your toolbar), thereby changing their names. Moving does two things: It gives the article a new name, and it automatically creates a redirect page from the old name to the new name. In the case of a typo in the article name, what you usually do is move the article to the correct name then delete the wrong name. Not sure if registered users can delete articles though, or if that requires admin rights. I have done this for your Juggernauts article now. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 01:42, 24 March 2009 (PDT)

*[[User talk:Wrangler/Resources]]
  
On the [[Rook]] article you added information from a recently published source. While you are not required to undo the edit you made or remove the reference, please be aware that this is in violation of [[Policy:Moratorium|the moratorium policy]]. This policy places a moratorium on using sources that have been published within the last two months, except in special circumstances. Thank you for your contribution to BattleTechWiki, and please keep this policy in mind when editing in the future. --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 16:43, 27 March 2009 (PDT)

==Unknown image summary information==
== How to Upload Images ==
+
When uploading images, if some of the summary fields are unknown please leave them blank. Having a blank field automatically adds them to a specific category. Thank you. --[[User:Cache|Cache]] ([[User talk:Cache|talk]]) 09:25, 26 March 2022 (EDT)
Really not best person to ask as not staff. First up copyright wise, we really don't have a leg to stand on, we probably have far too much already like many BT sites and exist purely at the kindness/sufferance of the copyright holder. Preference for myself is to go for smaller image sizes to balance quality so the real books remain attractive, even though places like solaris7 have larger versions just as easily available.
 
 
 
Moving on, to upload click on "Upload file" under "Toolbox" toward the bottom lefthand side of the wiki. Upload page will ask you to locate file on your computer, and a text box you can fill in. Ultimately like everything on BTW, up to you/the uploader how much/how little. Once uploaded, merely enter in the file name in the desired field on the vehicle templates and that should be it.

==Category creation==
 
I have to admit that I wasn't exactly made admin for my technical skills... but I think categories are "auto-created" when you include an article in the category. So you can just go and add the line <NoWiki>[[Category: Nova Cat Characters]]</NoWiki> to the bottom of the articles; this should be enough to create the category. If it doesn't, follow the red link to the category and edit the category page. I'll go now and try myself. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 14:20, 9 May 2009 (PDT)
