Quick update on the status of the AirMech Wiki
Hello to anyone reading this. This is just a quick update to say that not much is being added on the wiki as the next biggest AirMech update is being waited upon, so that we can continue to improve the wiki based around that. However, in the recent weeks/months, I have been adding more pages and updating current ones so that the ones that are already in existance are up to scratch.
I'm sure the wiki will be more active as soon as the new AirMech Strike update comes out.
If there's any questions, feel free to ask, as I've been the one mainly maintaining the wiki as of late.

Calvin Klein debuts new campaign
Calvin Klein’s latest campaign has been revealed, reappropriate their previous American Classics campaign to launch the autumn/winter 17'/'18 Calvin Klein collection by creative director Raf Simons. The collection includes marching band uniforms, antique handcrafted quilting, workwear and western wear, as well as a new designer denim line, Calvin Klein Jeans Established 1978. A nod to the brand’s history, the focus of the campaign is nostalgic in every way. Photographer Willy Vanderperre shot models against billboards of Calvin Klein’s American Classics campaign in the Californian desert, juxtaposing the high fashion nature of the shoot with the laid-back aesthetic of the new Raf Simons woman.

AirMech movie?
I'm thinking of making an AirMech movie! Sure, other people have made mini movies, but this will be a full length thing.
The pilots are getting their new mechs! They have completed their training, and are about to be introduced to their AirMechs. What they know is that they can choose their own mechs. What they DONT know is that the mechs have their own opinions...
Where is everyone?
Where is everybody on this wiki?
It feels like a desert.
Barely anybody is active.
Not even the Admins.
Hello everybody!
Just saying hi to the world! Anybody who has AirMechs feel free to friend me, I love the company!

Suggestions to Carbon Games
I know that this blog is not going to be read or just become buried in the wiki activity but I would love to see something new being added to Airmech Arena on XboxOne but before i do that I am going to talk about favortism in video games before heading into the suggestions for Airmech Arena.
PC has got like a lot of attention but it breaks my heart that gaming companies would forsaken their console port and constantly update the PC version, for example Counterstrike Global Offensive for the Xbox 360 as well as Playstation 3 are being neglected to a point were nobody could enjoy a online game without it crashing during mid-match or freezing on them when the next round was about to start.
Favoritism is a bad thing and the reason why it is a ba…
Neutral Team
The Neutral Team who exactly are the Neutral team and why are they so afraid of the outside world within the AirMech Universe.
Here is my interpretation of the neutral team.
When the First Airmech war ended in under a day, technology and civilization crumbled their was nobody else left on earth to turn the lights back on.
Paranoid and Xenophobic these white hats were scared to death that another war would erupt which could end all of humanity. These men donned grey and white fatigues to symbolize them as a neutral party only to fight back when it's absolutely necessary.
If they saw anything with a different color be it black, blue, red, pink, green or even orange they will open fire mercilessly on that specific color in an attempt to protect t…
What would the community like to see implemented in the wiki?
As the title states what would you, the Freelance Pilots on Airmech, like to see implemented in the wiki with the wiki overhaul?
Fell free to suggest!

Bail
Bail.
Bail is in Jail.
A very Pale Jail.
Bail cannot Bail from the Pale Jail, Not without his Pail.
His Pale Pail The Pale Pail of Male Mail Bales.
Bail shall Hail the Pale Pail of Male Mail Bales, he will not Fail.
Upon a Rail, must Bail Sail a Shale Whale to Yale to Mail his Pale Pail.
Bail tells a Tale to the Tail of the Shale Whale to Hail the Kale Gael at Yale.
the Kale Gael makes a Sale upon the Gale, to Mail the Pale Pail of Male Mail Bales to Bail by a Quail in a Grail.
Bail did not Fail, his attempts were not Frail.
Bail will Nail the Pale Pail to the Shale Whale in Yale.
"Hail the Pale Pail" Bail will Wail, as the Pale Pail will Bail Bail from the Pale Jail.
"Hail the Pale Pail," Bail will Wail.
"Hail the Pale Pail."
Progress
Skimmed through to the end of the D pages looking at categories. Just OCD tidying at this stage. Eventually I need to make the category changes - possibly a big job! Just reached the addiction stage so I'm going to take a few days off! Hopefully there'll be comments about the category changes when I get back. If not, guess I'll have to try for unilateral "improvements" :-)
Categorisation
So I finally sat down and looked over the categories - all 244! :-D
I dropped them into an Excel spreadsheet and went through roughly grouping them. Most of the groups are purely for sorting purposes, a few did impact on naming conventions. I'll try to broadly cover what I'm thinking and why. Hope I get some feedback!!!
I've included breadcrumb style names for a few categories, but these aside, I don't think we want extensive sub-tiered categories. I actually looked at some and the categories were looping X includes Y which includes X which includes ... Parent>Child>'Grandchild' is as much as we want. Might rethink this after I've slept on the idea though ;-)
The largest group is the list of categories I'm proposing we remove. Frankly most of…
Excessive Categorisation!
Just tweaked Bucky_Aggressor and there's way too much categorisation! Here's the current listing:
Aggressor | Alternate | Anti-Air | Anti-Ground | Bucky | Consumable | Drop Systems | Missile | Rare | Units | Vehicles
I've already dropped a couple that seemed totally superfluous. Some of these are unique categories - rare and that it's a drop for example, others, the whole tree is included! Unit>Vehicle>Bucky for example. We do have alternate but that seems a catch all for items, pilots and units. Should these be distinguished categorically? And do we really need to know that a unit is anti-ground\infantry\tank? Anti-Air might be justified, not convinced the others are.
Something to worry about when I'm more energetic? :-)
Slot?
Noticed pages such as Book_of_Econ_1 have Slot: Misc in their info. Isn't slot the spot you equip the item on your AirMech? The reference leads to the Items page but that's a mix of AirMech items, consumable items, loadout slots and colours. Long term I think these should be split up. Colours already have their own pages\category, loadout slots also has its own page so I'd say including these is redundant, but I digress. Does it make sense to delete the slot references since it's inaccurate - there is no Misc slot and you don't equip books on your AirMech, and also since the items page should be split?
What's That Category?
Been going through pages tidying stuff up. Down to about 20 pages though I've been slacking. Learnt a lot and want to do a second take at some stage to OCD tidy things. One thing I've noticed as I've grown more familiar with the wiki is seriously inconsistent categorization! Okay I'm probably being OCD\excessively professionally interested but it seems to me that Category:Pets and Category:Flair are totally unrelated - sure both are subsections of Category:Cosmetic but tracers and contrails are a totally different loadout slot to hats or cakes or ... And as for Category:Exclusive, you're trying to tell me almost half of the wiki's pages deal with exclusive content? O.o Category:Seasonal =/= Category:Exclusive. Really need to define som…
Dead Links
Ah yes. To make links that display a different text but link to a page in this wiki, use this format:
Category References
Syntax for category references. I keep forgetting the syntax so here it is:
Which gives: artillery
Link to Location in Other Pages
Fiddled around with this for a while before getting Prime Bundle to work.
Page link was Could probably backfill\correct a lot of links but maybe another time :-\
Items or Other?
Pretty sure some of the things listed in http://airmech.wikia.com/wiki/Other are listed as items elsewhere. Corrections needed?
Busy Night
Got the codes for the Blue Star this evening. Spent the last couple hours doing the math and getting everyone their star that sent me the info. Lots of folks, lots of support, lots of dedication.
Everyone was very patient as well. Had a good time distributing em. Now I can get back to doing some artwork.
To Do List
- Finish Info Tab on Beta Bundle
Add Rarity to all items- Colored text? Or we could add them all to categories
Update Unit/Airmech stats (Build 27424)
Update Wiki Tabs - Adopt the Inventory/Shop buttons onto wiki tabs, more organized and all info easily available without having to search
Angel Needs to be added to Airmechs Tab
Update of Front Page - add parts
Add Sets Tab - Competitor's, Cards, Dice, Gothic etc...

Credits - Needs an update of income numbers
Figures?
Found this - http://airmech.wikia.com/wiki/Credits
No idea where the numbers come from. Are they even valid still? Maths seems like it's outdated.

Review Progress
http://airmech.wikia.com/wiki/Special:AllPages
Starting at . and progressing to ZZZwhatever.
06/07/2014 .-G finished. Still have H-J on page 1 and then the other 2 pages :-|
11/07/2014 Page 1 finished! :-D I/J-Z remaining. Some treatises skipped e.g. http://airmech.wikia.com/wiki/Items
Unit stats will also need revising!!!
22/07/2014 P onwards remaining. 加油 :-D
04/08/2014 Up to TotalBiscuit's Top Hat Less than a screen to go!!! :-D Next step double check the unit stats, though I think Jasperism, Eagle etc may have updated these. If correct it'll be a second run through of the pages. I've learnt a lot this pass through, including to look for things I didn't consider before. Sure nobody else probably will ever worry about spelling errors, categ…

Wiki Markup
Hi,
I admit when I first started I just examined lots of page codes to understand how to add and edit articles. Much later I've founded the a good source which I'd like to share:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup general
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:PIC picture tutorial
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table for structured tables
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Template for templates
I hope these help whomever needs them :)
Loadout Slots
While I don't have all the Loadout Slots yet, I do hope to get them all. This is a brief list as a reminder for me, as to what I want to use them for.
Bogus Categories
Hi,
Some editors create bogus categories like pilot Jesus belongs to Jesus category as if there was another item that can belong to this category. Please don't inflate categories like these...
Thx...
Creat More Unit Please Producer
Right now have lots of unit but some kind of unit it doesnt have like...I dont like have to carry a heavy turret to potision so that i think need to have some unit can transport it
Need Moar Servers!!!
I'm stuck playing in Japan and Singapore... with fairly high pings on Singapore, at that. They should try hosting some servers in Korea. They have the fastest internets on the planet and should be able to service a wide range of countries. Or, maybe do some servers in the Philippines. We have the slowest internets on the planet, but at least with a local server, I might be able to play well.
