Welcome to '''BattleTechWiki:Project Clans'''. Several users have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving BattleTechWiki's coverage of the Clans to include such things as their Way of Life, Rites, Customs, Organization, and other such articles. Additionally, we look at how the organization of information and articles on this topic should be standardized. This page and its subpages contain suggestions and various resources to these ends; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other editors interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please [[#Participants|add yourself as a participant]] in the project, inquire on the discussion page, and see the [[#Open tasks|to-do list]], below.

== Featured content ==
* [[Clans]]
* [[List of Bloodnames]]

== Goals ==
<!-- What does the project plan to do? -->
The goals of this project is to improve BattleTechWiki's coverage of the Clans by including such things as their Way of Life, Rites, Customs, Organization, and other such articles.

To that end, with the upcoming release of the IlClan Era it makes it a wise choice to begin a major update and standard for all of the Clans not only still active, but those lost along the way.

The many editors over the years have done an awesome job of making sure the entries of the militaries or ''Toumans'' of the Clans have been kept up-to-date, however the culture entries seems to either lack fullness, are in dire need of a clean up, or in some cases are grossly out of date.

== Scope ==
<!-- What topics do you plan to cover?  If you're dealing with a broad area, it's okay to be a little vague here. -->
The scope of this project is broad so we will be coming out with different focus points as we see how much content there is to edit. As we are dealing with such a big part of Battletech, it will take time to make sure our references are correct. However, the Clans also had many personalities that were involved with the fiction that we need to make sure are referenced correctly as they may have references already on the wiki yet not marked.

== Editing advice ==
<!-- This section is for various kinds of advice regarding topics within the project's scope:

* Default layouts for new articles.  Include various categories applicable to the topic.
* Style advice - how to best apply the WP:MOS guideline and its sub-guidelines to this topic area.
* Article titling advice - how to best apply the WP:AT policy and the naming convention guidelines to this topic area.
* Content-related advice - how to best apply the core content policies (WP:V and WP:RS, WP:NOR, WP:NPOV) and other content policies and guidelines to this topic area.
* Notability-related advice – how to best apply the WP:N guideline and its sub-guidelines to this topic area.
-->

* The issues you will find the most notable is either the grossly out of date articles or articles missing complete areas of history. This is mostly due to some of the resources coming out in the last few years, as well as the crowd of players that believes nothing is happening after 3067. Popular ones are:
:* [[Historical:_Operation_Klondike]]
:* [[The Wars of Reaving]]
:* [[Era Report: 3145]]
:* [[Field Manual: 3085]]
:* [[Field Manual: 3145]]
:* [[Shattered Fortress]]
:* [[BattleTech: Battle of Tukayyid]]

Please note that it is "User|" not "User:" and five tildes at the end, not four.
Another way to do it is:
