<!--Another short summary. Bold the first instance of '''SampleCrew''', and only the first instance. Including and linking the [[Ice Ocean|Ocean]] and [[YPPedia:Sample flag page|SampleFlag]] gets the linking out of the way so you can just focus on text in the main article.
Example:-->
'''SampleCrew''' is a totally fictitious [[crew]] that sails the [[Ice Ocean|Ocean]]. The crew currently flies the [[flag]] of [[YPPedia:Sample flag page|SampleFlag]].
== History ==
<!--This is best done in paragraph form. Write down some history. Events are important, but reasons make history. Flag moves, crew mergers, splits, comings and goings all go here. Try to keep a neutral eye towards history - if Blaaarghbeard left with three of the SOs, it's important to tell that story, but not to villainize Blaaarghbeard.
What's the point of the crew? Do you pillage or keep shop? Train greenies or hire yourselves out as blockade mercs? Has the crew's focus changed over time. That info should be here. Have you moved archipelagos, or try to maintain an oceanwide presence?
If you need more subheaders here, take them! See [[Black Opal]], [[Ransack Marauders]], and [[Silver Dragon Trading Co]] for examples of good information to put on a crew page. By their nature, crew pages will be more variable than the pirate pages. For example, some crews require multiple infoboxes for different oceans! See the [[Template:Infobox crew|crew infobox template]] for more information.
Everything in this sections should be in chronological order and make use of paragraphs for logically separate events.
Example:-->
SampleCrew was founded on 31 December 2004 by [[YPPedia:Sample pirate page|FoundingCaptain]] and [[YPPedia:Sample pirate page|SamplePirate]].
On 2 February 2005 the crew joined the flag [[YPPedia:Sample flag page|AnotherSampleFlag]]. In early March of 2005 due to disputes over PvP with allied crews SampleCrew chose to leave the flag and sail as an independent crew.
On 15 July 2005 the crew joined SampleFlag and started planning for the [[blockade]] of SomeIsland.
During the blockade of SomeIsland on 26 July 2005, SampleCrew was instrumental in helping SampleFlag in taking the island by providing the majority of the flags jobbers and paying for all supplies required for the blockade.
=== Contributions / activities (heading name is variable) ===
<!--* Bullet list or paragraph
* List some major events the crew has hosted
* If the crew has won any crew-level accolades, list those here too
Example:-->
* Hosted a Special [[Grand Frigate]] open to the entire ocean on 22 July 2005 to celebrate the successful blockade of SomeIsland.
* During August of 2005 hosted weekly greenie pillage to help new players become familiar with proper pillaging etiquette.
=== Captaincy (very optional) ===
<!--# If the crew maintains a list of its leadership, captains and dates could provide good history
Example:-->
# SampleSOa (October 2005-January 2006)
# SamplePirate (January 2006-Present)
== Public statement ==
<!--Should probably only be listed if it's exceptional in some way, but each crew probably thinks its statement is exceptional, or else they wouldn't have penned it! Frequently-changing statements should not be listed, due to the difficulty of tracking and updating them. In this author's opinion, if the information can be included in the article text, it should be there instead of here.
Example:-->
Ahoy there ye salty sea dogs! Welcome to SampleCrew. We be a band of tough pirates that sail the seas in search of wealth and fun. All pirates are welcome to pillage with us. So come on and hit the Apply for a job with our crew and enjoy a grand time of pillaging.
