drinking challange

I was just wondering why i don't have drinking challange on my mission page? one of my alta has it, but my main character doesnt. any information would be great. im looking forward to earning my berfly. thanks!

According to the missions article, "the Drinking mission is only available if a pirate is able to play the puzzle and has completed at least four Pollywog or navy missions". Hope this helps!

Crew Page looks like it does in edit page

Hi, Somebody (unknown to us) started our crew page Golden Bladers in April. It looked very strange with little gray boxes, and was seriously out of date so we decided to update it. I read about basic Wiki Formatting, and went to edit, first updating the crew member info. However when I saved the page, the little grey boxes remained and the text looks as it does in the edit page. Can you help? Thanks --Kellifer1980 14:32, 22 October 2007 (PDT)

Don't start any lines with spaces. Also, go take a look at the template instructions for {{infobox crew}} ^(Usage). --Guppymomma 15:00, 22 October 2007 (PDT)

Delete a page

Somebody made a page with my name as the title, now whenever they search my name it goes there instead of my userpage. Anyway to delete the troublesome page? -- Megedeth 19:41, 24 October 2007 (PDT)

Your user page currently looks like a pirate article. While it's true that your user page is generally only to be edited by you, this doesn't confer the right to have an article about your pirate deleted in favor of only your user page existing. Otherwise this would allow editors to "own" articles about their pirate by creating their user page as "the" pirate article (assuming their pirate name is the same as their YPPedia login name). This would be contrary to wikipedia and thus YPPedia policy that articles don't belong to individual editors (user pages are a different story).

Also as far as I can tell, by default, user pages aren't included in search results, so your user page wouldn't show up unless someone is searching the user page namespace. -- Faulkston 21:46, 24 October 2007 (PDT)
