Introduction

Welcome to editing the BTA wiki. We've taken a few steps to try and ease the task before you, but there's still some tricky bits to understand. For the most part, following this page

Depending on the work in front of the team, you might have a spreadsheet to avoid people stepping on each others toes - 3+ people working on the same table can be a headache. Follow the process on that and we'll minimize collisions.

Actually Editing

Creating Mech Pages

If you open an existing mech page, you'll find that it is actually incredibly short. That's because the vast majority of pages are created with templates. Below is really all you need.

<tabs>
<tab name="ABS-2L">
{{AutoInfoboxVariant|ABS-2L}}
===Description===
{{MechDetails|ABS-2L}}


===Bonuses===
{{QuirkEasyToMaintain}}


{{AffinityAgile}}


===Factions===
{{MechFactions|ABS-2L}}

{{LoadoutImage|image=ABS-2L.png}}
</tab>
</tabs>

[[Category:30 Ton Mechs]]
[[Category:Inner Sphere BattleMechs]]
[[Category:Inner Sphere Mechs]]

The "<tabs>" line initializes the tabbing system and is only needed once. Closing it is done at the bottom of a doc and closes out tabbed information.

Each tab is captured within a "<tab>" block.

Everything in a "{{ }}" block is a template and its in here that you'll do most of the work. For a new page, copy the above, change the mech name and variant id. For updating pages, copy a "<tab>" block and change the variant id.

The gotchas here are the images - you may need to change the .png to a .jpg for the loadout. And the AutoInfoboxVariant template goes looking for a .png with the name of the title of the page, which can get hairy. If you need to do some digging, see the a

This... is a little bit more involved. And by a little, I mean a lot. You're going to want the Skirmish Bay open for some of this information, unless you're do maths gud in yer noggin.

Finding Mech Images

Miscellaneous Gotchas

1. Gladiators use a special faction line on their mech page, go find it and use that instead of the above.

Tips

1. Save frequently. This allows for granular rollbacks, a wiki function found in the View history tab at the top right. This is especially useful if you accidentally broke something. 2.
