Spell Checker

[Snowball]

Just as a heads up, I'll be running through most of the articles on the wiki and making them more coherent and correct (in terms of proper English).  Things like proper word choice, grammar, sentence structure, etc.  If you find your article edited, it was probably me.

Edit: I'm trying to stay as true to what is contained in the articles as possible during my editing, while making it much more grammatically correct.  If anyone is unhappy with what I did, feel free to undo my changes.  As to things like BattleTech lore and the actual in and outs of Wiki's, I leave that to more capable people.

2nd Edit:  If people could start collecting pictures of the various Mechs and their variants, as well as equipment usage pictures.

Examples:
1) Eoptics: have a picture utilizing regular optics on a target, and a picture of using Eoptics on that same target.

2) Jump Jets: Have a picture with a Mech/BA jump jetting.

etc.  The more pictures we have of the various assets in use, the more helpful and informative I feel the wiki will be.
Also, make sure whatever pictures you take are of respectable quality.  None of this 320 x whatever piece of crap resolution stuff, lets try to keep it quality.

Yea, I thought about it. We'll need an infobox - for now only image and name, later on also the price, weight, faction restrictions, or whatever will be needed.

Oh, and the grammar check? Damn, I love you! hehe Great work!

[Snowball]

I'm pretty burned out at this point.  Need to take a break before I get back to it.

If someone could make the main page look all nice and neat, and have it feature more of the pages, I would be much obliged.

And thanks Skywalker, you're the one who got me into doing this by posting your Madcat MKII page

[(TLL)Sky_walker]

Hehe, sure, I always try to make some sample pages - this make people life easier

As of main page - welll.... I'd wait for more articles to come... at least a little more Than I think we could make something simple & nice. For more complicated main pages (like the one on wikipedia for example) you may need CSS/JS files editing - and for this one you need to be a sysop... so I cannot help. But I guess for some time a simple main page would be fair good enough. Something with the date of next release, feature 2 or 3 best articles, show how to browse, and so on....

[Snowball]

So I've managed to get almost all the Light Mechs done, thanks for the awesome pics =)

Weapons are slowly getting fleshed out, as there's so damn many of them.  Should we have pics of the weapons as well?  Maybe one of just the weapon, and one of the weapon firing?

Equipment is next on my list, then I'll probably try to flesh out the rest of the Mechs before heading into vehicles and flyers.

So much work to do.  Sigh.

[~SJ~Azov]

ok i've got just about everything Battle Armor done except starting a page for the longinus. Let me know how bad they suck

[Snowball]

They were fine, I just had to go back and edit alot of stuff.

Thanks a TON for those pages, as its easier to slightly edit pages then to make brand new ones.

UPDATE:
Light Mechs are all done now, just need pictures for the Raven and Owens, and maybe some for the variants too.
Azov helped me finish up most of the BA stuff, thanks a ton to him.
Weapons are slowly getting filled, but it takes a while, and I don't know how all of them work, as I haven't actually used all of them
Started on Medium Mechs.


EDIT:
DO NOT POST BLATANTLY BIASED INFORMATION ON THE WIKI

wiki's are meant to be sources of objective information, and deliberately slandering a Mech, tactic, weapon, etc. is not acceptable, as is undeserved praise.

[(TLL)Sky_walker]

Well, there are tons, but no worries, we have people and we have time
I'll try to help out a bit more with weapons today night.

As of images - I'll upload the rest of mechs, no worries.
About the weapons... I say: Show them firing, each variant separately, perhaps with unit firing too, so that people could check out examples of mechs by the way.
Also try to find an iconic units for give weapon, so HuiltB for LBL, Vulture for gauss, Hollander for Hgauss, MadCat 2 for LBX20, Catapult for A4s/LRM20, Sulla for Tbolt, and so on...

[Snowball]

One more Medium Mech to do
PPCs and Gauss Rifles are done, as are entries for MG's, T-Bolts, NARCs, and TAG.
AC's and Missiles still need work, as do Lasers.
Armor page and Equipment page need to be made.
BA page was cleaned up.
Vehicles pages haven't been touched yet; neither has Aeros or Vtols

All in all, good progress today.  Time to hit the sack.

EDIT: In case people aren't contributing to the wiki because the haven't done it before/don't know how, don't be afraid to jump in and help out.  I've never edited/worked on a Wiki before, but it's easy to pick up.

maybe some animated GIFs for the weapons would be nice, so people can see them from different angles and learn to recognize them in the game.

[(TLL)Sky_walker]

I think that the pictures should be enough without animations.

wow... great work Snowball!
Now only tune it up here and there and we soon gonna have all the weapons ready ^_^

Agreed! Pretty please with a cherry on top take this into account whenever writing or editing a page.

Nah... I'm out :/ No crisis here and still few hours till I get home :/

[~SJ~Azov]

I think its about time to sit down and talk about what needs to be done. I'm trying to find my headset so i can go into TS and talk with everybody. 

I just realized, we have nothing about the game modes or maps. Do we want to finish working on the units first, and work on those, or I could possibly start working on the Game modes and maps.

[(TLL)Sky_walker]

Let's finish the weapons first, than equipment, meanwhile Mechs. When the weapons and equipment will be done we can try going for other things

Ps. There are no "game modes" - there is only one game mode - Deathmatch
