Goals

The main goal of this WikiProject is:

To help manage the various pages on Technology on BattleIntelligence.

Scope

Catalog technologies and equipment available in BattleTech
Categorize equipment and technology
- By rules level
- By units that utilize it (for technology) or can fit it (For equipment)
Edit articles for conciseness and readability using.
- Maintain infoboxes on weapon and equipment pages
Clean up manufacturing references on equipment pages Discussion in progress
Clean up the general organization of the Technology page and its sub-pages.

Open tasks

To-do list for BattleIntelligence:WikiProject Technology: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2025-05-01

Priorities

Clean up categorization of technological items, especially adding "Technology" category tag to pretty much anything that would be considered a discrete technology. The category page Technology is the general umbrella start point.
Finish the Jump Jet article tree to establish a standard for other technology types.
Tag all weapon equipment and technology pages.
generate list of needed articles.
Determine how we want to handle equipment brands See talk page

Guidelines

Of prime interest to PT is the stuff that goes into making other units. Things like the weapons and components that go into Mech' design along with small equipment such as infantry weapons and personal equipment. While completed designs are of interest to PT, they are secondary, primarily being the end product that the technology gets put into.
Link everything, at least once. If the term is Star League, link to it. If House Marik is referenced in the text, link to it. Link to other unit types, like DropShips. If the same term is used a lot, especially in the same paragraph, please link only once. But link, even if the linked article does not yet exist: it will someday!
Add any date information and make sure it has a link associated. This makes updating the timeline and associated year articles much easier.
