Why do you believe Choneis is a stub?
Faulkston I want to thank you for helping me with my charater (Choneis), but why do you think I'm a stub? --Deneochris 09:09, 18 March 2008 (PDT)
- Jumping in here, a Stub is a short article that can use expanding. It is a tag that is put on articles at the bottom so that the article can be expanded. It's not calling the actual pirate a "stub", it is just a name used for a article. See the usage for more. --Instantflash 09:23, 18 March 2008 (PDT)
- This standard message placed on short articles may be a little difficult to parse, especially if English is not one's first language. However the subject of the sentence is the article rather than the pirate which appears in the phrase "about a pirate". -- Faulkston 19:30, 18 March 2008 (PDT)
Flag Page
I was wondering if there was a way to set up my flag page if a crew already has that page name taken, I've looked around and couldn't find anything.
- What you're looking for is a disambiguation page. If there's already an article with the same name about a crew, then it can be moved to Name (crew), Name (flag) created and a disambiguation page Name which points to both the crew and flag can be created. Alternatively if the crew and flag with the same name exist on different oceans, then the ocean name in parentheses can be used for disambiguation instead of (crew) and (flag). -- Faulkston 18:19, 20 March 2008 (PDT)
- Is it possible you could help me do this? Flag name is Sanctuary.
- It's now done although not by me. -- Faulkston 18:59, 2 April 2008 (PDT)

V-I-M-T-O crew page
Ahoy Faulkston,
Is it possible to protect the afforementioned page from editing for a while. I was dismayed to find that the user, wendypepper, had edited the page to include some complete falsaties that were defamatory in nature. This has since been reverted by myself and Aerista, a royal in my flag. Any assistance or advice in this matter would be appreciated. I was referred to you by one of the OM's. Regards. Auntsally. --Roverbabe
- There's no need to protect the page. There was only a single offensive edit. I've warned Wendypepper against making such changes again. In the meantime, we'll keep an eye on the page. --Barrister 15:21, 28 March 2008 (PDT)
- Thank ye Barrister, it is good to know that the page will be safe without having it protected. --Roverbabe
html vs wiki
Hi. I would like to know what was so wrong about the html list i had on my pirate page (Owlwhisperer), and also why every single PP-related word has to be a link. Thank you.--Saintdiana 10:11, 13 April 2008 (PDT)
- Wiki table format is preferred over HTML table format. Not every instance of a Puzzle Pirate word has to be linked to its corresponding article. Generally only the first instance should be linked as otherwise maintenance effort is increased e.g. when disambiguation pages must be created. -- Faulkston 10:51, 13 April 2008 (PDT)
I didn't ask about table, i asked about list. And i didn't say all instances, i said all words. So why all those?--Saintdiana 13:48, 13 April 2008 (PDT)
- Same goes for HTML versus wiki syntax lists but unlike wiki table syntax, wiki list syntax has a clear win in simplicity over its HTML counterpart. Not every word in the article is being linked to others, just some of the key Puzzle Pirates concepts. -- Faulkston 19:45, 13 April 2008 (PDT)
Ice Ocean access
Do keep in mind that Ice does allow subscriber privileges to doubloon players. It's just somewhat buggy still. --Thunderbird 23:40, 13 April 2008 (PDT)
- I was about to revert my recent change but you beat me to it. -- Faulkston 23:46, 13 April 2008 (PDT)
The Yellow Submarines
You may want to move the crew page for The Yellow Submarines back to its rightful position. This crew does indeed exist; the only reason the page said it was "ficticious" (sic) is because it was copied from a sample skeleton page somewhere. Crew info page on Viridian. --Chupchup 21:36, 23 April 2008 (PDT)
- That's weird. I'll change the page text at the same time. -- Faulkston 22:28, 23 April 2008 (PDT)
