Nookipedia:Project Items

Project Furniture is a collaborative wiki project that will cover any and everything furniture. Originally conceived in late 2010, the project has been on hiatus since January 9, 2011. There has been recent interest to revive the project as of July 2014. Since the original foreseer of the project is inactive, I, Mario will take charge in overhauling this project. If anyone else is interested in helping, please do so in the appropriate talk page, the Bulletin Board, or Mario's talk page.

One of the best things about the Animal Crossing games is decorating your house with worthless pieces of trash glorious beautiful furniture. Wow your easily impressed villagers and be the envy of your non-existent friends! You might want some information prior to decorating your house, however. This is what wikis are for, right?

And unlike other projects so far, this one is pretty active! Yes, we still have unpaid slaves volunteers willing to work on this project into 2015!

Leader's minions
If you are interested in becoming a member, request it in the talk page or contact the leaders of the group (or XXSuperXXNintendoX if Mario is being held and "interrogated" by Villager (What Mario doesn't know, however, is that Villager is one of SNES's henchmen.).

There are no prerequisites or any of that crap; just contribute to the project with constructive edits and discussions. Members that do not contribute adequately, however, may be removed or place in an "inactive members" list. Please use good judgment if you think a member is no longer eligible.

Member benefits? Yeah, you get this really nasty userbox I found lying on the streets, soaked in a puddle. To put it in your page, just add UB Project Furniture to your userbox tower. Have fun with it! (You also get free soda refills, but the soda dispenser has malfunctioned and won't be fixed for another century!)

If you are a member, feel free to edit this page if any pages have adequate images/complete information. If there is anything I missed, you can say so in the talk page or you can correct it yourself. If you're not a member, shoot any issues in the talk page! We may respond! Just don't ask us about the soda.

If you want to be a leader yourself, just ask! It might take more than begging, though and it also depends on Mario's mood. Again, there are no formal qualifications other than you're a trusted user and can take on the responsibility of being a leader.

Bulletin forum link
If you want to discuss about stuff in detail or if you are allergic to wiki talk pages, you can access this thread in the forums. Be warned, however, that refreshments aren't available, so don't sue us.

General coverage
Many furniture pieces belong in a set, theme, or series, in order of ascending size. As such, there is no need to create separate pages for each piece of furniture. Redirects, however, can be created to help readers search for individual pieces of furniture. If a furniture piece is part of different series, though, such as that silly Deer Scare that is in both Zen Garden set and Mossy Garden Theme, a disambiguation page should be created.

'''If you have expanded any of these items until the point it can move into another table, please revise the list! I can't keep track of every change! Thanks.'''

Series
Series are generic furniture items, such as beds, television, chairs, and lamps, but with a twist. They match! It can be their color, their design, or their "vibe". Furniture series can consist of many things including, but not limited to, boring white furniture, stripey-looking furniture, furniture smuggled from Mushroom Kingdom, furniture that would make your parents scold you, or furniture that are your teeth's worst nightmare. If you're playing, most items from series can be taken to Cyrus and have it refurbished, such as changing its color. Different colors and designs should be documented, but are not required. All series have a corresponding floor and wallpaper.

Theme
Themes tend to be as big as furniture series, but unlike furniture series, it usually doesn't have a set of generic items such as beds, television, chairs, and lamp designed around a certain style. No, themes, when complete, although mostly impractical in everyday reality, give the impression that you're living in that kind of setting. If you're dying to make your home look like a boxing arena, look no further. All themes have a corresponding floor and wallpaper.

Set
Sets don't follow any rules really, but think of them as mini themes or series. There are usually much less items associated with a set. For instance, the Pear set has only two items: a dresser and a wardrobe that looks like -you guessed it- a pear. A few exceptions apply, but take that as a general rule.

The rest
Countless amounts of furniture items do not fall in any of these sets. We will not create individual pages for every furniture item here. Not only does it create a lot of tiny pages (even though they're not stubs), it's going to be a navigational nightmare for readers and editors. Keep in mind, there are at least a few hundred of these items.

Several of these items, however, are part of an unofficial set. Kitchen Items, for instance, contains uncategorized items, but all have one thing in common. They even have a corresponding wallpaper and flooring to go along with it. But how these items are grouped, it's all conjecture, so there will probably be some discussion on where items should be included. Usually, you call these groups "items". If all items are, say, trophies, you'd call this set "trophies". There is no defined rule due to the immense variety of these items, so use your own judgement.

We apologize for the huge blank spaces here.

Furniture master lists!!!!
Finally, we have articles based on furniture function. All are incomplete and need images. Even if your game is incomplete (it probably is), chances are, you can contribute to these articles! Ideally, these article should list all furniture that fit these types. It's long and can be even tedious, but it will pay off. Hardly anything is more satisfying than seeing your hard work in full glory in those sexy tables.

Feng Shui
What is, in real life, an illogical money-and-energy-wasting practice actually has applications in the. Anyway, the article on Feng Shui is not very helpful; it's a big mess of a list that's incomplete. Luckily, Project Furniture covers this article as well. Master lists are being created involving furniture color, and all are incomplete at this time.

Yes, so there is no 'Completed' box here, but it'll be a while before any of these pages are completed and we'll worry about how to fit a fourth box in when the time comes, right?

Furniture can come in these colors:

,, , , , , , , , , , , , and Black

Feng Shui counts only, , and , but the remaining colors are needed if a villager asks for a certain color of furniture.

Furniture has two colors associated as well. For instance, the Stripe Lamp is categorized as aqua and white. Some furniture have only one color, such as the Sleek Bed, but they are categorized as two colors; in the Sleek Bed, it's Black and Black (Black (x2).

Although determining furniture color is generally straight forward, by looking at the two dominant furniture colors (if not one), the game can throw you in a loop. Check out the furniture lists in the external links below to determine for sure if Nintendo can see the same colors as you. Seriously, you'd think furniture from the Alpine series would be blue and white, but no, Nintendo thinks they're brown and gray.

Capitalization
Rules regarding item capitalization were left to mob rule, a.k.a. [[Media:Item_capitalization_poll_results.png|public vote]], ending on August 18, 2014. The mob voted to capitalize the first letter of all words in item names, series, themes, sets, and categories (e.g., Blue Chair, Blue Series, Sea Bass), so we'll go with what the mob thinks or risk being run over (after all, they must still be pretty mad about the whole soda thing...). Oh, and prepositions or articles should not be capitalized (e.g., Jack-in-the-Box).

Redirects
Creating redirects is simple. Create the page as you would with any page (searching for the item, then creating the page; clicking on a red link), but input this.


 * 1) redirectPage

For instance, if you want to create a redirect for a delicious 1-Up Mushroom for my favorite furniture theme, the content of the 1-Up Mushroom page looks like this:


 * 1) redirectMario theme

Please avoid double redirects. Don't redirect into a redirect!

Tables
Tables make up the bulk of most furniture articles. The box below lists some basic wikitext code you'll need to know to work with them. Note that the ItemList template used in most of the articles has some of these features built into it, so you don't need to incorporate them into every article.

! -section title for each column (part of the template)


 * -information that corresponds with !

If you are still confused, check out how tables are formatted in completed furniture pages. '''Use the preview button! It helps.'''
 * - -indicates the next row

Table templates
The template for item tables should be ItemList. Prior to its creation, each title in the Animal Crossing series had a separate item template, which is pretty inconvenient for us haggard editors! The new ItemList template is collapsible, uses waaaay too many templates, can be customized depending on the game the table corresponds to, and allows you to incorporate wall and floor tables at the bottom, therefore replacing the ItemList Decor templates as well. For more info on how to use it, see its template page. It might be pretty confusing, especially if you're new to editing!

The following boxes show you how ItemList works with each Animal Crossing game.
