Edit Frequency

Ahoy! I was going through the recent changes, and I ran across the edits to Gulfstream. If you'd like to see the page history, take a look here, and I think you can see why it's sticking out at me :-/. I don't want to discourage you from editing, because it's good to see you putting so much effort into improving this page. However, it's always good wiki practice to get into using the Preview button instead of just posting stuff directly. That way, you know if you like what you're about to post before you actually do, and you can catch things like spelling/grammar, line breaks, formatting, and so on without having to waste time and effort making tons of minor edits. In any event, welcome to the YPPedia, and good luck in the future! --Belthazar451 21:13, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

PvP Trophies

If you want to suggest something, it should go on the forums, not the YPPedia. The skull and swords on those images also looks vaguely similar to the one used on the Pirates of the Caribbean design. If you did not draw them yourself, they are subject to copyright and should not be uploaded. Why create the page PvP Trophies, if you were just going to use the same coding to add to your page. You can transclude the page by typing {{:PvP Trophies}} instead of typing out the same information all over again. --Bakemono2011 23:58, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

There's a dedicated thread in the Game Design forum for trophy suggestions. -- Faulkston 02:54, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Flag Ventrilo

It may be better to post the details instead on a flag forum where they won't be available to the general public. Of course if you're wanting unrestricted access available to the general public, there's no need to move the details. -- Faulkston 13:09, 6 August 2011 (PDT)

Contributions list to add to your user page

The following content would more properly go on your user page rather than in the pirate article:

==Gulfstream's contribution to Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates, YPP forums and YPPedia==

==Images==

  • File:Sunshine_widget_crew_set.jpg

You should be aware that your YPPedia contributions are also listed here. That may save you from having to type out every YPPedia contribution you've made. Instead you could pick out the ones you feel are most significant. -- Faulkston 18:54, 17 August 2011 (PDT)

Disambiguation

Please do not usurp existing articles to make a completely different topic. The YPPedia exists to document all activity, past and present, so defunct flags are still in the scope of our documentation. The proper thing to do is to disambiguate. For example, after reverting the contents, I used the Wiki's "Move" function to move the flag article to Hypnotic (flag). This preserves the editing history and is preferred to cut & paste. Then I created a new article named Hypnotic (pirate). I pasted in the infobox describing the Sage Ocean pirate. Then I uploaded the portrait image anew to the new place - because the article had been renamed, it was looking for a different file. I changed the redirect at Hypnotic to point to the pirate, because that is the most common choice, but if the Cobalt flag had also been active then it would be more appropriate to create a "disambiguation" page with links to all articles. Also I had to fix up one place where another article had linked to the flag's page.

If this kind of work is daunting for you then one of us is more than happy to help you out, just let us know if you hit a snag. And everything that is done can be undone, so no harm, no foul. Thanks for contributing to YPPedia! Have a good day! Chupchup 15:44, 22 August 2011 (PDT)

Image file formats

It is preferred to use PNG for screen images, especially when the text is important. JPEG format causes blurring that can make it hard to read. Chupchup 15:11, 28 August 2011 (PDT)

The YPPedia is an encylopedia, not a webhost

This is a reminder that the YPPedia is an encyclopedia about Puzzle Pirates. It is not to be used as your personal webhost, especially not as free hosting for images. As such, the images you uploaded earlier today have been marked for deletion and a review of other images you've uploaded in the past will begin soon. Please consider how images will be used on the YPPedia before uploading again. Thank you. --Fiddler 09:15, 24 April 2012 (PDT)

All good, i just want to be informed, if it's possible, which images will be deleted, thank you. One list here will be very helpful to me. I do my best to avoid upload more images. I didn't knew that i have limits concerns uploading. --Deltaruler 24 April 2012 (PDT)

Links to user name space pages are not permitted from main name space pages

There's a couple of reasons why links to user name space pages are not permitted from main name space pages:

  1. It helps to avoid any confusion between non-user name space articles which must conform to the YPPedia policies and guidelines as well as the style guide, and user name space articles where generally anything which doesn't violate the Terms Of Service is allowed.
  2. User name space articles should generally only be edited by that user. If there are errors or omissions in user name space information articles that readers come across after reading an article in the name name space, the only way changes should be made is to leave a message on the associated talk page. The user may take some time to do updates if at all and it's difficult for a reader to know only by looking at the user page which information is out of date or needs correction.

If there's information on a user name space page that absolutely needs to be linked to, why can't that information exist in a main name space page where it can be maintained by the YPPedia community? -- Faulkston 16:15, 8 July 2012 (PDT)

The information found here is already linked to elsewhere in the Gulfstream pirate article, or in crew or flag articles, or is about the player rather than the pirate. Therefore linking to the user name space page is not needed. -- Faulkston 19:11, 10 July 2012 (PDT)

Brutal Blades

Ahoy! Sorry Delta, but the wiki is not a place for advertising your shoppe. If you want to make such a page, please find your own webhost somewhere else. I'll give you the opportunity to tidy up the article, then I'll come and clean it out myself. --Belthazar451 16:40, 7 March 2014 (PST)

Ok, give me time, thank you. looking for my options... can we hide the content concerns part 3. and 4. into the "Discuss this page" of Brutal Blade?

--Deltaruler Mar 7, 2014 4:52:48 PM PST on the Emerald ocean.

No, that's still advertising on the wiki. --Belthazar451 21:13, 7 March 2014 (PST)

Along this same line, I've reverted the link (to your in-game business) you posted "Trading". Appropriate links to include within that specific article would be for GENERAL ADVICE on HOW TO conduct trade/business (and not advertising your own pirate's business). -- Franklincain (t/c) 14:31, 12 March 2014 (PDT)
