For your efforts to insanely floorplan all manner of ships & housing types. --Guppymomma 15:36, 29 January 2007 (PST)

Wow, that doesn't look good... Thanks for the link. --Nicksterv 04:06, 19 May 2008 (PDT)

If you are going to link a screenshot with strong language, please add a warning. I could have gone without seeing that when I clicked on it. --Thunderbird 08:33, 19 May 2008 (PDT)

Regarding "The Spyglass (distillery)"

Don't you think "The Spyglass (building)" would be a more logical name? =) --Belthazar451 20:28, 13 June 2008 (PDT)

I don't think there's any firm policy on how disambigs are named save that we follow the Wikipedia naming conventions. I've generally done it like this:

1. If some page has the same name as another page of the same type on a different ocean, I'll just add the ocean name to the title - for example, two crew pages on different oceans become Crewname (Ocean1) and Crewname (Ocean2) - this means the {{ocean|pagename}} template works for these pages.
2. If some page has the same name as another page of a different type on the same ocean, I'll add only the pagetype - for example, a differing crew and flag on the same ocean becomes Crewname (crew) and Flagname (flag). The exception is when the crew belongs to the flag, in which case I just combine them on the same page.
3. If some page has the same name as another page of a different type on a different ocean, I'll add both to the title - for example a crew on one ocean with the same name as a flag on another becomes Crewname (Ocean1 crew) and Flagname (Ocean2 flag).

There are always exceptions. The idea here is to make the most logical yet simplest name for every page. In this situation, you're getting a page on one ocean with the same name as a page not related to in-game stuff at all. In this case, option 1 is probably really relevant, while option 3 is overkill, so that leaves you option 2. For other examples, you've got Valhalla (building), Cabin Fever (building), The Eye (Viridian building), The Eye (Cobalt building) and Dirty Deeds (building). I talk too much. --Belthazar451 20:55, 13 June 2008 (PDT)

User Infobox

Are you still working on Template:Infobox user? If not, can I zap the {{inuse}} tag? Only it's been over two years. --Belthazar451 06:11, 19 June 2008 (PDT)

I guess you can. It's an unfinished project of mine but seems to work ok. --Sagacious ^(talk) 06:16, 19 June 2008 (PDT)

Uselist

Instead of creating sub-templates for a variety of yes/no situations, try using Template:ifdef instead. --Fiddler 07:37, 27 June 2008 (PDT)

What exactly does ifdef do? From the name, I'm guessing it only does something if something else is defined, but that's kinda general, and the lack of usage notes doesn't help. --Belthazar451 07:42, 27 June 2008 (PDT)

Yeah, that template is in sore need of useage notes. I'm fiddling with use list to try and use it though. --Sagacious ^(talk) 07:44, 27 June 2008 (PDT)

Request for Admin

Ahoy mate, careful reverting such entires as users placing their name in the pool for admin requests. We both can see and agree User:Ningaglio's 11 edits will more than likely fail but his attempt to initiate the process may be better served if followed through and listed as a failed attempt rather than ignored if the user applies again in the future. Just my two cents. -- Haywoodx^(t/c) 18:32, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Reminder

YPPedia:Editors'_Code_of_Conduct:

• When leaving messages for other users, try to be clear, concise and polite. Unless it is a more involved discussion, there is no need to innundate a user with long monologues on a subject if a few sentences will convey the message just as well.

• If you find that you haven't the patience to deal with someone, just let another editor or administrator work with them instead.--Nemesis 17:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Help-Desk

Thanks for the help. I just have no idea what that meant >.>. Is there something you could point me to, perhaps an example. I'm pretty good once I've seen it done somewhere. Thanks again fer yer help. Lowstandrd 23:49, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Experience trophies

There is one minor exception on the Trophy page policy: the Notice Board Puzzles tab will display the next trophy in the Experience set for a player. We do allow trophies visible in such a situation to be displayed, so I re-added a couple trophies that fit this description. --Thunderbird 09:07, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Haunted Seas Furni

Hi hi! Brucee on Viridian won a Haunted ship in a bottle furniture item - I uploaded a picture of one of them, but was just wondering - should I have done it in Night Blue? (At the moment it is the colour it defaulted to on Yohoho Tools) =D --Adrielle ♥ =) 23:35, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

On second thoughts, it *may* be a little odd to have all the exclusives in theme colour if items have more than one colour, as it makes the secondary colour hard to see. Use defaults for now =) --Sagacious ^(talk) 23:56, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Dark oceans

Hello, I don't see where anyone has used the term "dark ocean" and so I don't support a movement to coin the term for ourselves here. I agree that saying "On the Obsidian Ocean..." is unnecessarily limiting in the unlikely case that another ocean is released. But I prefer to say "On Dark Seas oceans..." Chupchup 19:54, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

You've got the gist of what I was trying to do - avoiding naming a specific ocean but instead referring to the mode of ocean instead. Not only does it future-proof some things in the event of another ocean release, but also it specifically defines that the ocean is in some way different to the others. I'm happy with "Dark Seas oceans" --Sagacious ^(talk) 03:35, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Dark Seas oceans is a tad redundant. "The Dark Seas" would probably be better. --Budclare2 05:33, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

That works for me. Chupchup 05:35, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

DLC

THANK YOU. I've been too tired to tackle that page. <3 --Budclare2 16:15, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

I've been mulling how best to create it for a short time, including whether it was worth making 1 article per pack at one point, but I think it'll do for now :P --Sagacious ^(talk) 16:31, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

No, you did what I was going to do, except with fancy pictures. ;) It's good. If it ever justifies multiple pages, it shouldn't be for a while yet. --Budclare2 16:52, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
