Secrecy

Short summary. Bold Samplepirate's name the first time it is used, and only the first time. It's useful to include the 'short list' items here: crew, flag, and ocean. Link each of those in the first paragraph, and you don't have to worry about finding the first link in the biography text; it's already done.

Contributions and accomplishments

 * Bullet list of history
 * Reverse chronological order (most recent/current deeds at the top)
 * May want to split if, for example, a very active pirate is also an island designer
 * Also useful to split into subheadings for cross-ocean pirates

Biography
Wordy description of the piratey life. Examples I refer to frequently are Attesmythe and Belgarion, also Feegle. Sivius is a pirate to which I applied the pseudo-template during regular cleanup duty. Jacktheblack's page has also developed well, and Antix's page is another good example of a complicated page.
