Disambiguation Page
I am going to make page about my crew Knights Templar. It seems thought there is already a flag called Knights Templar. Since neither of these pages are usually expected when a person searches for them, I believe it is necessary to have a Disambiguation Page. Does anybody know how to make these or a link on how too?--Mashmallow 23:02, 20 July 2007 (PDT)Mashmallow

Putting things from paint on yppedia

 * Click here, then press "Browse". Navigate to the location of the image on your computer. Next, find an appropriate name for your image. For example, if the image you created is an avatar, enter the name as Avatar-Artistforumname-filename.jpg, replacing the italics with your details. Next, please ensure that you use appropriate image tags in the summary field. Nicksterv (t/c) 15:40, 1 July 2007 (PDT)

How important?
How important does a pirate need to be in-game to be allowed to have their own wiki-entry, for example like Sneet and Aapje.

Ugly BK Power Thumbnail
This looks weird with all that black background, but I don't know how to fix it. It looks like YPPedia must automatically create thumbnails or something... and it does it wrong somehow. Because the image behind it: looks fine. --Parrrdner 12:58, 22 July 2007 (PDT)

Crew Portrait
Hello, I am editing my crew's page Bootyqueen's Revenge and I wanted to upload a crew picture, I have done this by using portrait=yes but by default the picture is at the bottom of the info box. Can someone please help me get it at the top of the infobox like on a pirate's page. --DarkAdam 02:04, 24 July 2007 (PDT)
 * Sorry mate, all of the infoboxes will be the same - that's the beauty of the infobox! :) On crew pages the infobox text is considered more important, so that's at the top. --Zava 04:09, 25 July 2007 (PDT)
 * Ok, thanks for your help mate. Just a question then, can you make your own infobox template or not? --DarkAdam 04:41, 25 July 2007 (PDT)
 * It's possible to do so but then the standard infobox formatting would become less standard. -- Faulkston 21:42, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

Account
How do I delete a pirate page? Its blanc now, but i want the name totally removed, so i can make a new one on my existing account.

The name is Ceci (on my alt account ceci1) I moved it to C, I want that page and name totally gone so I can make a new one with the same name, but on this account. Thanks. Cecilian.


 * I'm not sure what your concern is - It doesn't really matter what account you use to make the edits. As far as your two pirate names go, the only thing that matters is the actual name of the pirate page. Many people have account names that are very different from their pirate names. Hopefully I've already answered the deletion question on your talk page (and I see that you've figured it out anyway!) --Zava 20:13, 24 July 2007 (PDT)
