We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Hector Barbossa — Barbossa appears in five films, not four: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest (post-credits), At World's End, On Stranger Tides, and Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Hector Barbossa — Barbossa does not have a post-credits cameo in Dead Man's Chest; his resurrection scene is the final scene of the film, not a post-credits scene.
Will Turner — Will Turner is not the only child of Bootstrap Bill Turner; Dead Men Tell No Tales reveals Bootstrap Bill had another son.
Will Turner — Will is not freed from the Flying Dutchman solely by the destruction of the Trident of Poseidon; he is freed when Henry uses the Trident to break his curse.
Barbossa's Crew — The crew became cursed after spending the Aztec gold, not after stealing it.
Barbossa's Crew — The exact number 882 is not specified in the films; the films only say 'all the pieces'.
Davy Jones — STATS section lists 'First Appearance=Dead Man's Chest' but the character is first mentioned in The Curse of the Black Pearl, creating a factual contradiction.
Davy Jones — LORE section states Davy Jones is 'a mortal Scottish pirate' as fact, but his Scottish nationality is not canonically established in the films.
Hector Barbossa's Pirates — Barbossa did command the Queen Anne's Revenge after Blackbeard's death, so the claim that it 'remained Blackbeard's ship, not his' is factually incorrect for the later timeline.
Will Turner's Crew — The claim that Bootstrap Bill can step ashore without dying is inaccurate; in At World's End, he is a decaying, mindless barnacle-encrusted figure who cannot leave the ship.
Will Turner's Crew — The claim that Barbossa officiates Will and Elizabeth's wedding is inaccurate; in the film, Barbossa does not officiate the ceremony.
Heart of Davy Jones — The entry states the heart was surgically removed after Calypso's rejection and subsequent betrayal, but in canon the betrayal occurred after the heart was cut out, not before.
Heart of Davy Jones — The entry claims the chest was moved by Bootstrap Bill, but in canon Bootstrap Bill only stole the key, and the chest remained on Isla Cruces until retrieved by Jack Sparrow and company.
Aztec Gold Curse — The entry states that the crew was led by Captain Jack Sparrow when they plundered the Aztec gold. In canon, the theft was committed by a crew led by Hector Barbossa, not Jack Sparrow.
