BattleTech Essays are articles on the Sarna.net [[BattleTechWiki]] that approach a given aspect of the [[BattleTech]] franchise or universe in a broad manner, exploring or explaining issues that the authors feels cannot adequately be covered in another article. They are usually added to this category via {{tl|BattleTech Essay}} and essays in the ''User'' namespace are normally edited only by the user that hosts the page and are categorized with [[:Category:User essays]], usually via {{tl|user essay}}. User essays may be moved categorically into the ''BattleTechWiki'' namespace and this category if they are frequently referenced, as evidenced by becoming an evolving expression of multiple editors. Essays can also be moved into userspace (or deleted) if they are found to be unhelpful or to contradict a settled point of policy.

Although [[Policy:Fanon]] does apply to Essay articles and Sarna BTW does not seek to publish fan fiction, it is permissible in Essays (and Essays only) to make assumptions, estimations and educated guesses about an in-universe subject matter to the point of fan theories and personal opinion, provided that such speculation is clearly marked as such, does not contradict established canon, and is plausible within the universe context.<br />By contrast, essays regarding real-world issues should refrain from promulgating rumors and possibly inaccurate real-world information.
