Hi Red Snapper, I'm interested in starting a list of what campers have available in their RVs, but am not sure how to start that. So far I have a list and an inside & outside photo of each RV for Jack, Blanca, Nat, Pascal, and Zipper. Any advice about whether this should be a brand new page, or on the RV, Campground, or Special Visitor page? Blackberry Pie (talk) 13:41, December 5, 2016 (EST)


 * RV would be my choice, as it's the most relevant, and the page is also the most incomplete. This sort of content doesn't really need its own article even if it gets really long, because we can make it into a collapsed list, like SuperHamster did here.

Re:Inactive admins
I've demoted seeing that he hasn't been consistently active, going through a burst of edits only to be inactive for many, many months. As for, I'll probably demote him, but having only one 'crat is... weird. Though it's probably fine since we have two directors. and, I might consider, but I'll give them a few extra months though they're very close for me to demote them. 14:04, December 13, 2016 (EST)
 * One more thing, I can't change Bureaucrat rights myself, only admin rights, but hasn't gotten back to you since that message. But sorry for me to take so long, haha.  14:06, December 13, 2016 (EST)

Do I look awesome?
File:So not happening.PNG I think it looks accurate, except that i don't wear my hair tied like that. Do I look like beethoven?(sort of) I played the anime singer dress up on Rinmaru games. --Beethoven Freak (talk) 13:49, December 28, 2016 (EST)

 * What do you mean? It's not inappropriate and it never said that in the policy. Are you wrong? --Beethoven Freak (talk) 22:31, December 28, 2016 (EST)
 * When I was here back around three years ago, it was considered not okay to just post images on someone else's talk page. It might not be in the main policy, but it is still valid in the Signature policy. ~ Poizon  Mushro0m PoizonMush Sig.png 22:46, December 28, 2016 (EST)

But it's not in my signature!

 * For the record, there's nothing wrong with adding images as part of a talk page comment. I don't recall it ever being disallowed, but maybe I'm wrong. If I had to guess, it may have been a rule about adding images that weren't part of a discussion, or adding content to others' userpages. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 00:27, December 29, 2016 (EST)

So you're saying I'm ugly, right?

 * Can't you all take this discussion somewhere else? Thanks, Red   (talk) Red Snapper HHD Icon.png 11:31, December 29, 2016 (EST)

Vandalism
Hey Drago, since you have seemed to be the target of multiple attempts of vandalism, do you think your userpage should be protected to at least autoconfirmed at bare minimum? Just curious how you personally feel about it since my old account had mild cases of it to. ~ Poizon  Mushro0m  16:38, March 2, 2018 (EST)
 * Vandalism has only occurred on my user page on two occasions, but still, it can't hurt. I've semi-protected it indefinitely. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC icon.png 13:14, March 3, 2018 (EST)

Response to Message
I would be honored to be nominated for staff.
 * I'll go ahead and nominate you. :) Drago   (talk)     Drago PC icon.png 12:41, March 4, 2018 (EST)

Three Quick (and Stupid) Questions
Question One: Um do you know how to make those little userboxes (like the ones on your Talkpage)?

Question Two: Um do you know how to make the large Infobox (the one with the image of Drago in)?

'Question Three: Is there anyway I can change my username anytime after I've created my Nookipedia account, or am I forever stuck with it? :'('

 * Hi there! They're not stupid at all! :) Here are my answers:


 * Question One: A full explanation is too long to write out here, but the best way would be to copy the code at Template:UserboxSimple and fill in the parameters (color, image, etc.). Also, I don't see any userboxes on my talk page; do you mean on my user page?
 * Question Two: Copy the code at Template:Infobox User and fill in the parameters.
 * Question Three: Yes, any bureaucrat (including myself) can rename users. Just ask on one of our talk pages or post on the staff noticeboard. Bear in mind that you can only have, at most, one rename in every 6 month period.


 * Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC icon.png 14:55, April 2, 2018 (EDT)

Response to my three stupid questions
'Thank you, also please could you erase all of the images that I posted here as well? :) And could you change my username to ╚»★«╝ xxxкαη∂ιιxxx ╚»★«╝ as well please :3'

 * Are you sure you want that name? It contains a lot of non-standard characters. I'm not even 100% sure if the software would allow those characters; it can get awkward with those kinds of things. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC icon.png 11:29, April 3, 2018 (EDT)

Help a weasel out, won't you
There's some really secret things about this wiki, i have to tell you about. Where do I go if the bulletin boards forum is closed? It has to be private message since it's top secret.

--Weast Weasel (talk) 22:22, September 27, 2018 (EDT)


 * I'm not Drago, but if you would like to privately message me about these 'secret things', feel free to privately message myself or another Nookipedia Staff member on the Nookipedia Discord server. I hope I can help. ZCJigglypuff (Talk)


 * Yeah, as Jiggly said above, private messaging is usually done on the Discord. We'd love to see you join over there! Drago   (talk)     Drago PC icon.png 11:35, September 28, 2018 (EDT)

Any other sites?

--Weast Weasel (talk) 18:23, September 28, 2018 (EDT)


 * Sadly not. You could use Special:EmailUser to e-mail me, maybe... Drago   (talk)     Drago PC icon.png 13:05, September 29, 2018 (EDT)

Protecting my talk page archive
I'm currently not an admin and I don't have now permissions to edit or move it. Can you lower it for autocomfirmed users please. Thank you! v mario 97 (talk) 15:07, October 23, 2018 (EDT)


 * Have you finished archiving? If you have, it shouldn't need to be edited again... Drago   (talk)     Drago PC icon.png 15:10, October 23, 2018 (EDT)


 * I'm now don't care about it. This archive is completed yet. If my messages on my main talkpage will be another 10000 bytes, I'm sure I'll ask to remove protection. v mario 97  (talk) 15:13, October 23, 2018 (EDT)


 * Don't worry, I lowered the protection for you. :) Drago   (talk)     Drago PC icon.png 15:16, October 23, 2018 (EDT)

Changing File Links
Is it ok to change file links on userpages? It does seem kind of intrusive, come to think of it Results May Vary (talk) 13:33, November 28, 2018 (EST)
 * Thanks for your question. I don't have a problem with this, they are basically maintenance edits after all. Deliberately altering a user's personal details wouldn't be a good idea, but there's not a problem with changing file links. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC icon.png 13:40, November 28, 2018 (EST)

Stupid Question Time!
I guess first I should say "hi" and thanks for the welcome, the kindness and the delete. I'm having problems finding my way around and working out where I can be useful barring where I started - which I started adding to after I tried to look something up and found most of the info on the page was missing. So, honestly I'm kinda bemused by a few things. Erm and I should warn you now I'm going to waffle...

1. Is there any logic to the images used/naming conventions/editing conventions? Because I was initially trying to match up with those I saw on other furniture related pages but looking at them now I realise a lot are labelled as HHD sprites even though they are being used for ACNL pictures and yet they are not being used as icons on CF/WW etc despite being largely the same. Are separate pics needed for those other games? And then some places just include unedited pics straight from the catalog? 2. Is there a particular reason there aren't sections relating to HHD stuff in amongst the other versions? Is it just because it's a spin off or something more - I'm not familiar enough with the gameplay/wiki policies to know. 3. Why do items not each have their own page? especially given variations in each game and the customisation options in ACNL and who knows what in the next game. Surely creating each item would make so many things more easy as you could then easily categorise them by series/set/colour, tag them as beds, chairs etc making those category pages much easier to build and far more importantly making them searchable and allowing for things like redirects for where versions have differing translations (eg. Mary Janes/School Shoes) as well as providing an easy place to work out if the items had pictures/data added to them already? Also it would mean that you could click through to items/sets etc from (for example) villager pages if you liked the look of some furniture and wanted to know more. 4. On that note how do I check whether items have pictures/data that I should be using? searching is largely not getting me anywhere? 5. The maintenance stuff doesn't seem to be... uh working? I mean there are, for example, currently 200 images pending deletion the vast majority of which don't exist any more, at the same time there are dozens of pages with non-existent files embedded in them. If I poke some of these enough it looks like they've been renamed but the links to them were never fixed. And I ran into the wanted pages section which included a large number of category type pages which inexplicably both do not exist and are repeatedly linked to. I'm not even really sure how to begin to go about fixing all this. 6. Is there any way to categorise wanted data by game? I know for me while I am happy to contribute I don't have access to all the games but there is no way for me to filter between (for example) pages with info missing from DnM vs NL, one of which I have no access to and the other of which I can probably find that info. I think given the upcoming switch release you'll probably see a huge number of people arriving at that point that would be happy to add info about the new game but if it's impossible to work out where those holes are in the data due to all the data missing from other games I think people will get discouraged and not contribute. 7. There are loads of pages marked as needing cleanup or as stubs but no guidance that I've been able to find about what needs to be added/cleaned up/how they are supposed to be formatted beyond generic advice about how to create sections and add basic formatting. Am I missing something? Ditto this for the formatting of regular pages, there appears to be significant variation between pages of the same type and I haven't managed to locate any guidance on this and the templates only seem to apply to portions of pages such as info boxes rather than how pages should be formatted on the whole. 8. Why is so much info missing? (Just it seems like after all this time editing would be filling in obscure random details not looking at pages requesting dozens of images or finding whole swathes of info was never added) 9. Is there any advice for getting screenshot type stuff out of older versions of the game (for example I think I have a WW cartridge somewhere, sadly I know I reset my original town but I don't remember a screenshot function and I don't have a modified DS or anything like that).

I appreciate that this is a lot of waffle and honestly I'm rather hoping that you're going to come back and point me at load of stuff I have completely missed that explains all of this because atm I find myself just getting stuck poking at things and it makes my brain hurt and I just keep going around in circles which is why I've largely stuck to the Campgrounds for now (even as a side note there, many of the items you can buy from Harvey for 5 Meow tokens are also available in RVs for 3 but I'm unsure how to include that info within the confines of the table provided and honestly without item pages it all starts to feel a little pointless anyway since there is no way to link around the different pages that are referencing them anyway).
