Current Policy?

So can we just erase completed blockades after a week or so or is there a more refined policy for extraction? --Shanoyu 16:24, 13 September 2007 (PDT)

You can remove them the instant they're done. They often stick around because nobody's noticed/gotten around to it. :) --Guppymomma 20:11, 13 September 2007 (PDT)

Oh ok, I was worried there was some sort of vaguely wikian reason for not doing so. I'm assuming the same applies to events? --Shanoyu 20:18, 13 September 2007 (PDT)

Yep, feel free to take a broom to those as well :) Thanks. --Guppymomma 06:27, 14 September 2007 (PDT)

Blockade Times?

I'm just here to ask if there is any way to find out the time for blockades that doesn't involve looking at the notice board and quickly typing in /info then doing the math? I miss the old display that also mentioned the actual time rather than a countdown. --Guppymomma 13:17, 20 August 2005 (PDT)

Blockade template for pasting

Just copy & paste the text below into the correct ocean section and fill in the info.

==TIMEam DATE - {{OCEAN|ISLAND}} (sinking or nonsinking)==
:[[Flag 1]] - defenders (pay info?)
::Jobbing Contact(s): ?
:[[Flag 2]] (pay info?)
::Jobbing Contact(s): ?

Thanks

Thank you Thunderbird! Komainu 01:08, 14 January 2006 (EST)

Brigand Kings Blockades

I'd like to suggest the usage of a new template for Brigand Kings blockades. As they don't have jobbing contact, we should replace that for Amassed Power.

Example:

==12pm June 30th - {{midnight|Jorvik Island}} (sinking)==
:{{defender}} [[Tyr's Own]] - (pay info?)
::Jobbing Contact(s): ?
:{{contender}} [[Fleet of his Imperial Scaled Highness]] - [[Admiral Finius]]
::Amassed Power: {{bkpower7}}

So it would be something like this: 12pm June 30th - Jorvik Island (sinking)

Tyr's Own - (pay info?)

Jobbing Contact(s): ?

Fleet of his Imperial Scaled Highness - Admiral Finius

I know there is still discussion to know how exactly each icon means powerfulness, but showing them on the current blockades would be appropriate.

I've added the bk7 template to the Jorvik blockade on the main page, remove if it's unappropriate.

Automized Input

Did anyone ask the developers yet, if they could/plan to make YPPedia get the currently schedeuled Blockades from the servers automatically to fill in this page?

With most intents nowadays posted around the time of the drop, I've given up updating this, the notice board shows nearly as much information. Some way to autmatically update the information would be nice, but there are usually other bits (like jobbing contacts) that would need manual editing. It would probably indeed need developer suport. I think the blockade bit of the notice board can't be read by unauthenticated http. --Alfwyn 14:09, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
