Search user languages About Therobotdude Therobotdude is a keen Puzzle Pirates player of seven years, and an active greeter, who has taken to the YPPedia to fill a few gaps of missing knowledge in articles. Therobotdude is crazy about robots but regrettably has absolutely no graphic design ability whatsoever. (Who would've guessed?) His goals are to upgrade the useful bits of the wiki to 3rd person ("3P") and to reorganise commonly linked-to articles which have grown a bit untidy over the years. (While it's nice to have building/crew/flag pages that are up to date and a massive index of all known trinkets and portrait items, the core pages - puzzles and game mechanisms in particular - still need looking after too!) Therobotdude hopes that eventually his editing and technical knowledge of the game will pay off, and that greeters will find the answers they are looking for on their first search hit. Therobotdude's to-do list These are a few pages that Therobotdude reckons could do with a bit of improvement. While it is mainly used for personal reference, eager editors are more than welcome to use this list to get ideas about what to do next. Feel free to chuck ideas, comments etc at Therobotdude's talk page or just edit this directly. NB: this list might end up relocating to a relevant forum thread at some point. Page(s) Date added Priority Comments Hearts strategy guide 2013-10-04 3 Wording, introduction, images, further tactics. Essentially turn it into a more useful page. Shipwrightery 2013-10-04 6 Cleanup - 3p; make page more concise; follow layout of other crafting puzzles Carpentry,Treasure haul, Navigation, Sea battle, Gunnery 2013-10-04 6 Cleanup - make page conform with other duty puzzle pages Drinking, Treasure drop, Rumble 2013-09-28 6 Cleanup - in the style of hearts/poker/spades? Gunnery, Patching 2013-09-26 3 document known bugs Pirate (character) 2013-09-04 2 New page for pirate(character). Sea battle, Grapple, Gun token 2014-01-18 7 Consider merge and new redirect: at Token, merge in Grapple as a section here? (and make redirect for Gun token(s) etc. too) Ship#Damage, Damage, Damage meter 2014-01-18 9 Agreement between articles: Should damage redirect to damage meter or ship#damage (current)? If redirects to Damage meter, need to direct users to Damage properly and quickly.) Sea battle, Rock, Wind, Whirlpool 2014-01-18 5 Consider merge into one article: either a subheading of Sea battle or a new article, e.g. Sea battle board. Spades strategy guide 2014-01-18 6 Cleanup and add detail: guide is not so useful without pictures and examples. Reword to make it easy to understand. Scene 2014-01-18 8 Cleanup and use simpler language: Also, since Walking around and Movement both link to Scene#Movement_in_scenes, that section needs to be written more explanatorily. Poses 2014-01-18 3 New page: pirate/NPP/pet (do pets do this?)/familiar poses: e.g. victory pose, loss pose. Puzzle 2014-01-18 3 New page: pirates in multiplayer puzzles show changes in facial expression. This could be: the victory face, the loss face, the game face (when they're being attacked by n people?) and the ordinary face. Category:Tutorials 2014-03-13 4 Get ordinary puzzle pages out of this category (a puzzle page should be encyclopaedic &&! a tutorial). Finally, link more to these tutorials from relevant puzzle pages. Swordfight 2014-05-02 6 Now that a version with precise language exists, see if this can be simplified a bit (aim for user-friendliness). List of known renamed ships 2014-05-18 4 Potential introduction of templates of form: {{shiplist|name=obscure tangent|custom=yes|meridian=yes|emerald=no|cerulean=yes}} as implemented here. Category:Activity lists 2014-05-18 4 Potential use of Template:Activity chart to merge timechart subpages (e.g. Memming Players Across Meridian and Memming Players Across Meridian/Supplementary time chart). Needs a few more modes (possibly rename parameters eg memming-emerald to fit page eg MPAE)

• Todo: Make these look a bit more exciting.
