Crew Members

Ahoy! Why couldn't I keep the crew members on the flag page, it made it look like there was more content since we don't have anymore to put on there at the moment - Crashdoom 20:28, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

It's not really necessary to list it on the article because the flag infopage is linked to by the flag infobox. If it's just filler/placeholder content, then what is the point of including it in the article?

There was consensus that plain lists of royalty and other flag members should not appear in articles. I pointed out that many flags also listed positions and even descriptions of what various royalty do, so a complete ban of any member listing wasn't warranted. -- Faulkston 02:37, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Ship icons

Hey Faulkston :D why don't u allow me to put the ship icons on yppedia.puzzlplepirates/Gas ?:( It's much nicer than showing amount of ships in words :| -- Jonjonspirit 17:27, 30 April 2009 (PDT)

A list of ship icons takes up far more space than using a compact sentence. It is also skirting close to the rule against listing standard named ships on pirate pages. Leaving out the names of the standard-named ships doesn't comply with that rule either. -- Faulkston 02:12, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

But I didn't even list standard named ships...Other pages who have them u don't even notice >.> -- Jonjonspirit 21:19, 1 May 2009 (PDT)

If they're a list of icons for standard names ships, then that doesn't comply with the rule.

Please indicate these other pirate articles which have lists of standard named ships, or lists of icons without ship names. -- Faulkston 05:26, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Have such articles now been edited accordingly? -- Faulkston 05:04, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Adrielle

Hi hi! Is my user page ok? I did it in pinks and purples... lol =D Adrielle =) 09:57, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, your user page does not contain content which breaks the Terms of Service. By this measure it is OK. As for aesthetics, it is your user page and as such does not have to conform to any standard layout. -- Faulkston 01:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

You could say it's pretty... :P lol Adrielle =) 11:07, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Roomate - > Roommate

Is it worth re-uploading these image files with the correct spelling? I figured you're the most recently active admin so I'd pose the question to you, though feel free to perhaps pawn the job (if it needs doing) to Lcawte as they were his uploads. - fyre ^talk 22:13, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

It would be fine to just mark them with {{misnamed image}} ^(Usage) and they will get fixed down the road. -- Cedarwings ^(talk) 22:32, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Ha, a tag for everything! Thanks both. - fyre ^talk 23:06, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Ops, Sorry, I'll go do them at some point soon, unless someone wants to do it. Edit: Unless we leave it until the dev's upload the newest MediaWiki version with Image renaming/moving technology :) --Lcawte 17:59, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Image Help

can you make the image on this page smaller please? http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Lukydude —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luckydod (talk • contribs)

Done that for you mate :) Also fixed the issue with the Zombie hand. --Lcawte 17:58, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Puzzle prefereces chart

Do we have something like a puzzle preferences chart on the YYPedia? You know where users add their prefered puzzles and a chart sums it all up. OOO had questions on puzzle preferences in at least one of their surveys iirc. I thought, if someone knows, then you. --Kamuflaro 00:43, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, no such chart exists. -- Faulkston 02:59, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Too bad thanks anyways, was just thinking something like that might exist, when I was removing the preference order users intentionally posted on the flotilla hunter pages. I will see if I can figure out a way to make such a chart on this wiki system, once I'm done transforming the last dub ocean flotilla hunter pages. --Kamuflaro 18:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

About the DEFAULTSORT:Black Hole (Viridian) tag

What is it for if you dont mind me asking o_o? --randompanzy 04:47, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't mind you asking. It's a Wikimedia magic word. For every category that particular article appears in, it will be found under 'B' rather than 'T' ('Black' rather than 'The'). -- Faulkston 06:04, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks ^^ --randompanzy 03:17, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
