Nookipedia talk:Project Items

Yeah, this project seems defunct. I don't want to leave it inside the navigational template if all it serves nowadays is a blast from the past. Same goes for every other project in that navigational template in this page. 22:59, June 25, 2014 (EDT)
 * Agreed. It is dead, and each furniture page does not deserve its own article, either, in my opinion. It may be a good idea to tag these pages with an 'archive' template and protect them. Red   Snapper  15:21, July 15, 2014 (EDT)
 * I agree, but if there's any interest to revive the project, let me know. Otherwise, this really isn't a "project" as it is a sort-of solo effort by me. 16:12, July 15, 2014 (EDT)


 * I would love to assist, Mario. However before we go about making updates I think there needs to be a big discussion about how to best organize the furniture on the wiki. I'm not sure if this talk page is the best place for that, so in an attempt to engage more users in the discussion I've created a post on the forums. If you're interested I encourage you to post your thoughts there. --sunmarsh (talk) 01:02, July 25, 2014 (EDT)
 * Thanks a lot, sunmarsh. I don't know how much traffic the forum gets, but it's worth a try. If there is further interest the revive the project, I will overhaul the page if I have time. 18:04, July 25, 2014 (EDT)

Would like to join the project
I figured I could just add myself, seeing that I'm a staff member, but I'll follow the procedure written on the page. --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 20:39, July 26, 2014 (EDT)
 * I'll add you in a moment. I just "borrowed" the staff cells because it looks better. 20:41, July 26, 2014 (EDT)
 * Could I be a member too? I will work hard. - HomerJC (talk) 17:05, July 25, 2015 (EDT)

Request to join (sunmarsh) + questions
Thanks much for revamping this page, Mario. Just a few notes: In the 'Tables' subsection I think we should encourage the use of, , and. Additionally, we will need to create new sections and templates for AF, AF+ and AFe+ items on each series, theme, and set page. On the subject of tables, I think we should decide on rules for alignment. I am personally in favor of every cell being center aligned with the exception of the item name which should be left aligned. What do you guys think?

In regard to images, I know that some series pages have a gallery (usually of ACNL images). Do these images need to be removed and placed into the tables? Also, some of the pages have a picture of the entire series at the top (from ACCF)- do we want all pages to include this before we mark them as complete? And do we want to try and update that picture through ACNL (seeing as every existing series got an additional wall item)?. --sunmarsh (talk) 22:09, July 26, 2014 (EDT)
 * Ooo, I didn't know those item list templates are there. I'll add them if I'm not as busy as heck (and itching to play some computer games). Most subjects should be center-aligned anyway; the aligning of item prices to the right baffles me.


 * The gallery images should be incorporated into the tables. You don't even need an additional column; just add , the wikitml equivalent of the "Enter" key in typing, and add the image. The entire series on the top, I recommend to have, since it gives readers a good impression how the items look in-game. Nevertheless, these images are usually not counted as completion for an article because it doesn't single out each furniture item; it's just an overall presentation for the series, in my opinion. We can update the picture through screenshots of New Leaf, but actually *setting* up such images in-game takes a lot of time and devotion to the game, which is another reason those kinds of images are not required for completion.  22:15, July 26, 2014 (EDT)
 * P.S. Sorry for the delay, you are now part of Project Furniture! 01:57, July 27, 2014 (EDT)

Standard image size?
It seems that we're using a width of 75px in tables, this is great, however if we have a larger image already on-hand, shouldn't we just resize it to 75px like so rather than upload a new one? Also, shouldn't we try to upload an average-sized image so people are able to better view the furniture's details as opposed to uploading icon-sized images? --sunmarsh (talk) 20:08, July 27, 2014 (EDT)
 * It's just to standardize the image sizes. Some images have been reuploaded to be consistent with the icon images. Also, taking pictures of images in-game wouldn't be much of a huge improvement in resolution compared to the icon-sized images, so it's not a huge loss. You can zoom in with the Dolphin Emulator, but that's the only time where there will be a notable improvement in resolution. But I don't want to encourage people get the tools necessary for an emulator to work (like a game ISO). 20:57, July 27, 2014 (EDT)
 * I'm uploading all of the images from the Prima e-guide because, like Mario just stated, I'm trying to be consistent with the icon images, which will make the tables uniform and easier on our feeble eyes. --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 21:11, July 27, 2014 (EDT)

Semi-protect series/theme pages?
Just reverted a few edits from a non-registered user that changed the capitalization of all the items on the page. This isn't the first time I've seen non-registered users do this, because our capitalization style does not match the in-game style. Should we semi-protect these pages or just revert the edits when we see them? --sunmarsh (talk) 19:44, July 31, 2014 (EDT)
 * Looking at the locations of the IP contributions, I believe it's the same person? I'd just make a note on their talk page(s) about our new capitalization guidelines. Until it's a bigger problem, I'd avoid semi-protecting any articles, especially if they still need work. Thanks, ~Super Hamster  Talk 22:49, July 31, 2014 (EDT)
 * I also disagree with semi-protecting series/theme pages for this little issue. Just assume good faith and notify the user. 02:26, August 1, 2014 (EDT)

I think if someone lowercases a furniture item name, then we should let it be unless it's actually capitalized in-game(Such as the word "Gracie" or "Pave"). Most wikis about games use the in-game capitalization(For example the Tomodachi life wiki only capitalizes items that are capitalzed in-game and the Pokemon wiki always capitalized items because they are capitalzed in-game) (I'm not sure if it should be like this......)

--108.40.197.250 11:57, August 25, 2014 (EDT)
 * As decided by public vote and noted in Nookipedia Policy, the first letter in all words of furniture items are to be capitalized. --sunmarsh (talk) 20:40, August 25, 2014 (EDT)

I do not agree. --50.136.149.237 22:46, December 27, 2014 (EST)

Images for AF e+ and prior
I ordered Japanese guidebooks to AF+ and AF e+ and they arrived today. Just from flipping through the item sections its clear that the furniture models do not change from version to version. The only differences will be in image/print quality of the guidebooks. It would save a lot of time to scan in the contents of just one guide (plus the few items that are exclusive to the various games) rather than scanning every item from every guide. Is everyone in agreement with me on this? If so, I will scan in a test copy of the same series from each guide and we can discuss which one we like best. --sunmarsh (talk) 17:53, August 18, 2014 (EDT)
 * For what I did for the fish chart, that is my methodology. As it is the same, just get the best version there is.  SuperAlpaca  (talk ) 18:04, August 18, 2014 (EDT)

Hm, on another note, maybe it's a good idea to start removing that yellow background on those images I uploaded. You know, so it doesn't look as if it came from New Leaf. That way, we can add those images for the furniture on every table, not just New Leaf's. 16:02, August 19, 2014 (EDT)
 * Well, there are some changes that were done to the furniture between AF e+ and New Leaf, so I think it's still a good idea to show the progression there as opposed to using the New Leaf images for everything. --sunmarsh (talk) 21:04, August 19, 2014 (EDT)
 * I agree with Sunmarsh. Although gathering furniture images for every game in the series will be a hard and lengthy task, I believe it will have a beneficial outcome. --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 17:10, August 20, 2014 (EDT)

Centering text in item tables
I've noticed that a lot of the text values in item tables are centered individually by line. You can use the code: style="text-align:center" in the template code for the tables to have it center all table text. This would save a lot of time and reduce article size. If we all agree that the table text should be centered, I can make the changes to the templates? :) --sunmarsh (talk) 17:47, August 31, 2014 (EDT)
 * I don't see the downside of centering everything in the table, especially in the furniture ones. I'd appreciate it if you add the parameter. :) 16:40, September 7, 2014 (EDT)
 * I've added it to the following templates: ItemList WW, ItemList CF, ItemList Decor, ItemList NL, and ItemList Decor NL. If I missed one let me know. All the AF templates should already have it as I included it when I created them. --sunmarsh (talk) 19:19, September 7, 2014 (EDT)

Use of and  in item tables
These templates generate a different hexcode (color) for different seasons, allowing one to create elements whose color matches the site's changing theme. There was a mention of this on the forums but it never went anywhere. What are your guys' opinions on this? Should the item tables match the theme or should they stand out? Here's an example of what they might look like:

--sunmarsh (talk) 16:50, September 12, 2014 (EDT)


 * I prefer using a different color, and having more color variety on pages. On the furniture pages in particular, I like that the tables and navbox are similarly colored, although it turns out they're not as similar as I thought; in general, if colors are changed, I'd rather work toward having color themes for certain types of pages, and use the color templates in Nookipedia-related areas and things that don't need to be prevalent, but still available, like the potential header template for villagers. -Sky (talk)   22:23, September 12, 2014 (EDT)


 * I agree with the color variety idea and maintaining color themes according to page type. To that end, I've changed the colors of Template:Furniture to match the item tables a bit more. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  18:53, October 14, 2014 (EDT)

Item table revamp
As we'll be editing the contents of many of the furniture pages, I thought that the item tables could use a bit of a revamp while we're at it. Here's my proposal: (not sure why there's so much blank space before it, if anyone can figure that out... lemme know!)






 * }

I've applied the roundy template to various elements throughout the table, and have also created several new templates that should streamline item list creation. The main addition is Template:ItemList which allows you to use one template to generate game-specific item tables for any AC game simply by changing the parameter. The new tables make use of three additional templates: Template:RowStart, Template:RowCenter, and Template:RowEnd to provide for the roundy formatting of each table row.

So what are your thoughts? Do you guys like the new table design?  ( talk )  18:53, October 14, 2014 (EDT)
 * I like it - in my opinion, a great improvement. Nice job! That spacing issue is definitely weird...trying to look into it but for now, I have no idea either. ~Super Hamster  Talk 20:11, October 14, 2014 (EDT)
 * I figured out the spacing issues. The #ifeq statements I was using were returning a value of nothing if they evaluated as false, which was creating line breaks. I realized I needed to use a #switch statement instead and that's fixed it. I've also converted the Blue Series to the new format if you'd like to see what a whole page would look like using the template. Any feedback would be appreciated. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  21:05, October 14, 2014 (EDT)

First feedback would be fixing the formatting of this part of the page! '^^ 16:36, October 26, 2014 (EDT)


 * Apologies, Mario! I made a lot of changes to the template and it broke the display on this page. Fixed. ^^; Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  16:59, October 26, 2014 (EDT)


 * It's all right, it's just a teensy mistake ultimately. :) Anyway, I have one question: is there any way to design the table so the yellow text colors stand out more? I think gold-yellow against white still isn't great for the eyes, but it's pretty much our only option when it comes to yellow. But again, I'm not sure which background color would work best when it comes to design, as I like the white background too... 23:33, October 27, 2014 (EDT)

Colors
I have a recent question concerning color: since players can display clothing in their house, and since each clothing is also assigned a color (Big Bro's Tee is red and white for instance), shouldn't our big color lists also cover clothing? If that's the case, then we should rename them from "List of (color) furniture to "List of (color) items" instead. This might be beyond the scope of Project Furniture, but again, you can display clothing in your house, right? Huh, I might want to reboot Project Fashion sometime in the future if that's the case and maybe cleaning up that gooey writing like how a plumber cleans up gunk inside the pipes... ;P  23:46, April 6, 2015 (EDT)
 * Hmmmmm....perhaps this is taking things a little too far? We're meant to be an encyclopedia, not a strategy guide listing every single item in the games. Personally, I'm not convinced it'll be worth the enormous amount of work it will require to create the pages. 07:58, April 7, 2015 (EDT)
 * Encyclopedias need to be as complete as possible, so I believe there's little reason to leave out information on certain items. The policy on coverage on Nookipedia, I'm not 100% sure, but, again, we're supposed to provide information on stuff where we can. That's how I see it anyway, but we need information on each item. I didn't say create the pages, but I suggested that we expand the "List of (color) furniture" articles to the more generic "List of (color) items" instead. 16:15, April 7, 2015 (EDT)


 * I say that clothing definitely deserves to be included. Who's to say it is less deserving than any other item in the game? Note that clothing and accessories only started getting color designations in ACCF. I understand it will require a lot more time and effort seeing as we are so short-staffed, but if someone is willing to add accurate item data to the wiki I am certainly not going to stop them. An incomplete list is better than none at all IMO. In short, I'm in favor of renaming the pages to 'List of (color) items'. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  20:54, April 7, 2015 (EDT)
 * That's great! So, if this pulls through, is it okay if we use the item table template to do the clothes? And finally, I wonder what Red Snapper thinks of this before I start lifting my finger on the Project Fashion page... or if someone else wants to work on that. 18:16, April 10, 2015 (EDT)
 * I'm sorry no one has responded to you, Mario! D: Using existing table templates should be fine. Keep in mind that our goal is to eventually convert everything to ItemList. Also, I would recommend creating a separate table for clothing (within each game's section) as opposed to placing the clothing into the list of furniture. However I will leave the final decision up to you. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  16:26, May 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * Better late than never! :) I kind of want to create a unique item list. Remember that discussion with Sky about the whole item list table colors? The current one is supposed to match the furniture navigational template, so if we were to create a table for clothing, I suggest it match the clothing/fashion navigational template (pink). 00:06, May 30, 2015 (EDT)
 * Oh, and by the way, the clothing shall be kept separate from the furniture anyway. Clothing have their own separate pieces of information (like boy/girl and even particular fashion patterns, apparently). 21:52, May 30, 2015 (EDT)

Finally, one more question: should Furniture Colors be merged with furniture into its own section? I think that would make navigation easier. 19:55, April 12, 2015 (EDT)
 * I think that a merger is appropriate and will reduce navbox clutter at the bottom of furniture pages. Let me know if you want help with that! Also, I noticed that even though we had agreed on the naming convention "List of (color) items" for color pages the name hasn't been changed yet. We would have to create new pages and then redirect the old pages, right? Let me know if you want help with that/still wanted to do that. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  16:26, May 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * Yes, I'd like that to happen. I'm just caught up completing the other furniture lists and doing a myriad of other things. There is so much stuff I need to do in Nookipedia regarding furniture (and that's only a part of Nookipedia), so it would be highly appreciated if someone (like you) could do the navigational templates and all. Thanks! 00:03, May 30, 2015 (EDT)

Themes and styles
Should we also create lists of themes and styles? Something like "List of harmonious furniture" and "List of cute furniture"; furniture can be substituted for a more-generic "items", but I think that may make a huge page. This is because I just realized that some furniture like Air Conditioner, Bronze Fish Trophy, and Museum Model have no color designations, so we have to document them somehow and make them easier to find. 17:03, May 15, 2015 (EDT)
 * This is a great question! We will actually need these kinds of lists if we implement Villager Info as exemplified here. Note the Ideal Gifts tables and the links at the bottom of them to More (Color) Items and More (Genre) Items. Right now the links are broken because the pages don't exist yet (and because the template needs to be changed so it can correctly link to the appropriate section of the list of (color) items page). Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  16:26, May 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * Ah, so if the stuff in the sandbox is implemented, we need to create such pages. I think those pages would be an immense help for players going for a certain HHA theme too, but I didn't realize villagers have such preferences as well. I would be more than happy to do it, but let me complete all those colors and all. One large step at a time. '^_^ 00:09, May 30, 2015 (EDT)

Custom Furniture
I found a blog where it has screencaps of most, if not all custom color combos for furniture in New Leaf. I think it would be great to crop these out and add it to series' articles galleries, or at least add them to their respective image sections. This is the site. 13:35, June 2, 2015 (EDT)
 * Great find! I'll add it to the resources list! More work to do, that means. mama mia... 14:45, June 2, 2015 (EDT)

Custom furniture organization standards?
Baby Luigi and I are having a disagreement on how the galleries for the custom furniture pages should be arranged. I prefer to organize it by furniture pieces (using Digit lamps as an example: One Lamp, Two Lamp, Three Lamp, and so on) while my sister wants it organized by its customization options (using Digit lamps as an example: Red lamps, Orange lamps, Yellow lamps, and so on). We'd love to have some input, especially this early in establishing refurbished colors. 17:13, June 4, 2015 (EDT)
 * Also, you should list your idea of organizing custom furniture with more than one customization option. I haven't exactly figured that out yet. 17:15, June 4, 2015 (EDT)
 * For two customization options, we can easily create a table showing all the combinations. Which furniture has three customization options, though? Finally, what are we going to do with customization options that allow designs and clothing fabric? We won't document all of them unless you like extremely tedious work, but perhaps we can include a mention on the page itself? 17:19, June 4, 2015 (EDT)
 * I'd say since custom fabric should be omitted since the combinations are infinite. I agree with you, the options for custom fabric should at least warrant a mention in the series itself. By the way, I don't think any furniture has three combos but I could be wrong. 17:35, June 4, 2015 (EDT)


 * I think a sortable table would definitely help out here. That way users could organize the images as they like. As for refurbs that take clothing patterns, I think it should just be noted and we should create a page that contains a gallery of the clothing texture patterns available in ACNL and link to that. If a refurb can take a custom design we should note that as well and link to the most relevant article (perhaps design?). I'll add a furniture customization table template to my mile long to-do list. ;P Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  13:52, July 15, 2015 (EDT)
 * All right, hope we'll make good use of it to settle this. 22:36, July 15, 2015 (EDT)

Standard page layout
While editing the series and theme pages I realized they were all organized a bit differently and wanted to get input on how we should format the layout of these pages. Right now there are two main ways the pages are organized. The first method has each game getting its own section (e.g. Blue Series). The second method has each game getting its own sub-section within a 'Furniture items' main section (e.g. Ranch Series). I also wanted to propose a third method, which would reduce the length of the pages, but would also depreciate the tables of older titles even further. For example, the fish table contains links in the upper right-hand corner of the table to pages that host the fish tables for each of the older Animal Crossing games. We could adopt a similar strategy for furniture series, theme, set, and category pages. What do you all think? Do you want to keep all the tables on the same page or should we split them up and have them hosted at [Collection Name]/[Game Name])?  ( talk )  13:52, July 15, 2015 (EDT)


 * No, I am against this on all fronts. When I go to a wiki, especially one where tables and lists are prevalent, I find it easier and much more accessible to have everything I want to look at on one page, not multiple ones. It is a hassle to have to click on multiple links just to see stuff that shouldn't even be on separate pages. I mean, as long as the pages haven't reached their content capacity, we are good. (Remember, not everyone who views Nookipedia has New Leaf) --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 14:54, July 15, 2015 (EDT)


 * Well if we keep the lists on one page, I'd still like to hear your opinion on how the sections are set up (Blue Series vs Ranch Series). Additionally, some games will share the exact same table. Should we just create the duplicate tables anyway, or should we merge the tables to something like "Blue Series in Doubutsu no Mori, Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+". Takes up less space but makes an awkward table or section heading. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  18:58, July 15, 2015


 * In my personal opinion, that depends on whether the four games you mentioned share the same items found in that series or not. If they do, then it would be much easier and worthwhile to just merge them. However, if they do not, and one or more have different furniture items, then we will have to create separate tables. For example, if two of the games possess the same number of items in a particular set but the other two have additional items, two or more tables would be required, depending on whether there is a difference in number between the two with more items. --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 19:32, July 15, 2015 (EDT)
 * Agreeing with SNES, I'd rather we don't split the tables into separate pages, since that creates navigational clutter and induces just additional headaches for users searching for certain series. Unlike Bulbapedia, our furniture pages aren't too big, so they can handle more or less repeating information. If there is a way on creating tables that can alter themselves as a whole, just from clicking on the respective games on the corner or something, that would actually be a neat feature. But, yeah, same series from different games belong in the same page. It's the most consistent and creates the least clutter. 22:41, July 15, 2015 (EDT)


 * In reference to my previous example, yes, all four games share the same number of Blue Series items, same exact properties, same models and textures. My only concern was that the heading for the table/section would be very long, so even though we'd save space because we didn't make a table for each game, it would look awkward due to the naming. I suppose there's not really a way around that. But again, no one has answered my other question- how do you want the sections split up/named on the page? Do we want a section for each game, which will appear in the table of contents (e.g. Blue Series) or do we want one section in the TOC with each game having a subsection (e.g. Ranch Series)? Also Mario, that's what I've wanted to do this whole time but have no idea how to do that/if it's possible with the current extensions the wiki has. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  01:05, July 16, 2015 (EDT)
 * The Ranch series seems to be much better organized, in my opinion. I mean, the Table of Contents looks better and much easier to navigate. It helps visually separate the actual furniture items from, say, the refurbished colors, the merchandise, and general gallery. Not to mention, the layout in Blue series needs work anyway, with the images moved into a another gallery. 15:46, July 16, 2015 (EDT)

On the second thought, I think splitting furniture tables to separate pages by game (like Exotic Series (Animal Crossing), Exotic Series (Wild World), Exotic Series (New Leaf)) might not be such a bad idea. We can then split the navigational templates further by game. I'm not sure how this will affect, say, Google traffic, though, but it might be better for organization. 14:52, November 10, 2015 (EST)

A few questions regarding the new tablecontent templates
I'm not sure how to use all aspects of TableHeader. The collection parameter can use these values: category, other, series, set, theme, although I'm not sure what "other" or "category" is needed for. I'm trying to convert those "list of x color" articles. From some experimentation, I think "other" is actually the recommended template since it opens a slot to organize a certain series or set of items. So, what does "category" do? 16:29, August 14, 2015 (EDT)


 * Right now the "category" parameter will give you the default item table associated with whatever other parameter inputs you choose. The wiki is currently lacking coverage on item categories, and so we don't have any (explicit) existing lists or tables for them. They are a collection of functionally similar items first introduced in . Items of a specific category may be requested by villagers and they also provide an HRA bonus if the player places enough items of the same category in a room. The five categories are: Plants, Musical Instruments, Models, Paintings (known as Art in ACNL), and Dolls.


 * The "other" parameter is what you want to use for a list that is not entirely made up of one series, theme, set or category. That would include a master list such as the one you're creating. The most important thing it does (that I can remember off the top of my head) is create a column called "Collection" where you can note (and link to) the collection of items the piece of furniture belongs to (e.g. Blue Series, Pirate Theme, Flower Set, Doll Category etc.), if any. I do want to note though that the template is not currently set up to handle clothing or accessories (although I have listed the future parameter names for these in the documentation section). It will still generate tables if/when you input these parameters, but it will probably generate irrelevant column headings (e.g. collection, size etc.). I hope that answered your questions and if you need any help let me know! Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  16:53, August 14, 2015 (EDT)
 * Verrrry interesting. I wasn't even aware that there are categories of those things. Well, that's one more thing to keep in mind when making those collection pages. I've seemed to overlook that information in the FAQ since it's all grouped in another spot in the FAQ. Thanks for the answer! 17:03, August 14, 2015 (EDT)

Membership Request
I left Mario a message in reply to his comment on my discussion page, but have noticed that there has been no reply. So I am sending my application here as I will probably have a better chance of having a reply other than my talk page. In terms of contributing, I do own all NTSC versions of the and  on emulator. I can also contribute in template editing if needed. ~ Poizon  Mushro0m  01:33, August 26, 2015 (EDT)


 * I'm sure Mario is busy saving some princess or collecting stars or whatever it is he does these days... (I've heard he's been practicing his tennis game!) So I've added you as a member. ;) Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  12:28, August 26, 2015 (EDT)
 * That's great! Sorry,, I didn't notice. I wouldn't mind at all having you in the team. As I said, even for games you don't own, there are a lot of resources to add information, which includes refurbished furniture and overhauling some tables and all. (And sunmarsh is right, tennis practice is running amok in the Mushroom Kingdom, and the big games are in November! Also, I could've said, "Nah, this person's a Poison Mushroom, I can't talk to those, I'll get powered down!" but nah I'm nice.) 13:48, August 26, 2015 (EDT)

I'd like to see table(s) listing every furniture item that appears in Happy Home Designer, but that may be beyond our capabilities. What does everyone think? Red  (season's greetings!)   06:40, December 22, 2015 (EST)
 * I'm all for more coverage of HHD! I can add compatibility for the game to our table templates, I just need to know what the table header labels should be (e.g. Item, Image, etc.). Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  11:59, May 17, 2016 (EDT)

How do we determine whether a page is 'complete' or not?
I did my best sorting all of our pages into the three categories designated by - Completed, Images Needed, and Incomplete. However, I wanted to ask whether or not we were going to require item images for AC titles prior to ACNL in order to consider the page complete. For example, almost none of our pages have images from included in the item tables. However, if these pages had ACNL images in their gallery I moved them into the Completed category. Also, I have added HHD icons to nearly all tables in place of their ACNL counterparts, my assumption was, however, that we still wanted to have ACNL images in the gallery section and so those without ACNL images in the gallery I marked as needing images. Was this the right thing to do? Any clarification would be great.  ( talk )  11:59, May 17, 2016 (EDT)
 * In my view, a 'complete' pages needs to meet these criteria: all info in the tables should be completed, all NL tables should have HHD images, all NL images should be in the gallery, and all tables should be the latest TableContent/Header/Footer format. We should probably try and include older item images as well, but don't ask me how we'd go about actually doing that! Therefore, until we find a way, your solution is the best one. :P Red   (talk)  Red snapper (Wild World).gif 12:13, May 17, 2016 (EDT)
 * We'll probably have to obtain images the old fashioned way, via emulators, and I'm sure that kind of stuff also allows for cheats that allow all items to be unlocked in the catalog. That's something to consider though I don't see anyone doing this and I don't think it'll happen in a long while. On one hand, I do think there should be images from the older games, but on the other hand, are the models that changed? Why upload practically the same thing but in different games ? 19:04, May 17, 2016 (EDT)
 * Well, I agree that we shouldn't go through the trouble of acquiring images for DnM, DnM+, ACGC and DnMe- we should just choose one as they all use the same models (ALTHOUGH, the N64 models used lower quality textures if you didn't use the expansion pack, so in the very distant future if someone REALLY needs something to do they could attempt to document that). Although there are some items exclusive to each game (I think) so we'd have to acquire a few from each one. I know that ACCF has some updated models/skins from ACWW. What I'm not sure of is how different ACWW's models are from ACGC/DnMe+. At the very least there are new items we'd have to get images for anyway. Also I was thinking we'd just scan the guides for the games in and crop the images. *shrug* Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  20:55, May 17, 2016 (EDT)

Question
Hey everyone part of Project Furniture I just had a question what happened to the Campus Set that counts towards the HHA and Box Set that counts towards HRA in Wild World and City Folk as those are definitely sets I think so anyway just wanted to ask if you all think it'd be alright to change them back or not. :) And sorry u haven't been as active as I used to been busy with a big move going on right now, however I hope you've all been very well. <3
 * I believe they lacked a very specific designation in the game files and so the categorization was purely arbitrary, they were moved to a created Miscellaneous furniture page. From an organizational standpoint, it makes sense avoid having to create other arbitrary groupings, which could possibly be a complete mess. 23:32, October 24, 2016 (EDT)
 * Oh alright gotcha thanks for letting me know about that so I don't try to re-edit again so sorry for the inconvenience. I just wanted to let everyone know I'm back so I'm glad to be back after all that time away to long for me anyway haha. -- NateKimble (talk) 23:46, October 24, 2016 (EDT)

Relocate older game lists to subpages?
I saw that in Miscellaneous furniture, we have links to lists as a subpage. You think it would be a good idea to transfer that information in all other furniture pages to their respective subpages as well? For instance Blue Series wouldn't have four tables, but one table from Animal Crossing: New Leaf and that table has a header: "other games" and we move those other three tables to three different subpages. What do you think? 22:35, December 19, 2016 (EST)


 * Most likely sunmarsh split Miscellaneous furniture because of its sheer length, but pages like Blue Series are much shorter. Also, only the New Leaf table is 'open' by default anyway; the others are all neatly collapsed and in no way intrusive. Given that splitting would also make navigating a pain, my instinct is to not split, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has an opinion on this.

 * I brought this up in July of 2015 (see Standard page layout) and SNES was very much opposed, as were you Mario, but you changed your mind. :P I think the current setup works fine, but I will say that coming back to the site I don't know how much I like the fact that the ACNL list is at the bottom of the page and you have to scroll past all of the older lists to get to it. I agree that the collapsed lists are not obtrusive, but I wonder if there is a better solution. I think that what this setup has going for it, is that it's very clear where the information on each game is. I feel that if we move information to subpages with little links it's going to be easier to miss. That said, as Mario pointed out, the subpages could actually help google traffic because we would have a page called "Blue Series (Animal Crossing: Wild World)". How significant that will be is anyone's guess. For me, this issue is kind of small potatoes. I think what's more important right now is documenting the furniture changes brought about by the Welcome Amiibo update. That and completely revamping the Furniture page in general (oh, and not to mention we haven't covered furniture in HHD at all... despite having most of the HHD furniture icons. >.>).Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  18:00, December 20, 2016 (EST)
 * Ahh, so I was opposed. But at the time, I thought about different pages, not subpages, and I was accustomed to how MarioWiki doesn't really use subpages as much as pages. So, now, I'm a bit more open to that. Additionally, if I recall correctly, Bulbapedia uses something similar, where repeating info are relocated in subpages. How does that work for those who do browse that site? Anyway, collapsed lists aren't obtrusive, but they don't decrease loading time at all, keep that in mind, and it's likely a bigger problem on the "list of [...]" pages. Anyhow, I didn't play HHD. Any data-mining on that one? I didn't find any in GameFAQs, so that's why I didn't really do anything about it. 12:15, December 21, 2016 (EST)

Does refurbishing change the color information of a furniture?
I've been wondering this for a while. Has anyone tested this, maybe giving a refurbished furniture to a villager and see if the villager reacts any differently? I really wonder how we'd pull that off.... 02:23, January 13, 2017 (EST)

Hey Mario, can I join?
Hey Mario I would like to join. I am new to Nookipedia, but I can learn! ~ Whitney 33 09:45, March 1, 2017 (EST)

Request to join
I would like to join in this project, as I have textures for nearly every wallpaper and flooring from each game up to. In short, I can be of good help.--LoneShadowStar (talk) 11:59, May 6, 2018 (EDT)
 * Unfortunately this project has been inactive for over a year, and all of the project leaders (Mario, BladeofEvilsBane, sunmarsh) are also inactive. If there's enough interest though, the project could be revived with a new leader. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 12:08, May 6, 2018 (EDT)
 * I that idea, for some reason when the project was active, if you didn't edit for a bit, you'd be removed. I like how Project Villager works where you stay apart of it regardless. Hopefully the new project leader will have this function the same way. ~  Poizon  Mushro0m PoizonMush Sig.png 17:37, May 6, 2018 (EDT)

Data for update/DLC items
I can't find much information on them. Not even the wikia has much aside from images. I can get this, and there's an imgur album of all the refurbished stuff, but the latter is inferior to my current way of just extracting the ROM, getting the models and textures, cutting the UV shells in half, flipping that half, and then rendering it with just the most basic settings. Just a question, how did the GameFAQs guides get their information? Surely, it has to be datamined. 21:11, December 10, 2019 (EST)

Rename to Project Items + Merging Project Fashion
I'd like to propose expanding the scope of this project to cover all items. Our current work on creating item pages, Cargo tables, and so on is pretty standardized and similar across all types of items (furniture, clothing, interior, etc.), so I don't think we need to limit ourselves to just furniture here. This would also mean folding Nookipedia:Project Fashion into this project (not that that project was ever active). ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 18:05, January 11, 2021 (EST)
