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.

Wording, introduction, images, further tactics. Essentially turn it into a more useful page.

Cleanup - in the style of hearts/poker/spades?

| Pirate (character) |
2013-09-04 |
2 |
New page for pirate(character).
|
| Sea battle, Grapple, Gun token |
2014-01-18 |

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 |

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 |

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.

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.

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 |

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)
|
| Battle axe |
2014-07-05 |

vikings use the backsword drop pattern for the battleaxe; does Brynhild Skullsplitter's axe do the same?
|
| Skellie, Zombie, werewolf |
2014-07-13 |

Fix display issues; the skellie/zombie/werewolf quotations look awful in current form
