Report from TurtleCrossing
Two users: User:Mayor of NYC and User:2601:201:280:1020:5557:6926:95D:59B3. Not sure if they're the same person, but the former is making mainspace articles about fan content and uploading unnecessary duplicate files, while the latter is making outright unconstructive edits. TurtleCrossing (talk) 23:09, September 3, 2020 (EDT)
 * Blocked both, it was clear that user wasn't here to contribute. I believe I've cleaned up all the pages and files they created. Thanks for pointing it out! ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 23:32, September 3, 2020 (EDT)

Report from TurtleCrossing
User:K055. Making very vulgar edits and pages. All of them should probably be hidden. TurtleCrossing (talk) 20:14, September 6, 2020 (EDT)
 * Dealt with. Thank you for the report! ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 20:27, September 6, 2020 (EDT)

Report from Elephant Lady
A person, Nook gamer 333, has copied the content of my user page onto theirs. Please help me!--Elephant Lady--
 * I'm sorry that this has happened to you. I've asked them to remove it. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 11:43, December 7, 2021 (EST)
 * Thanks Elephant Lady xx•talk•contributions) 06:32, December 20, 2021 (EST)

Report from Elephant Lady
Nook Gamer 333 just changed the birthday schedule. It now says "stupid" where it should say "Pashmina". I have changed it back, though it was very unconstructive. Elephant Lady xx (talk•contributions) 03:34, December 24, 2021 (EST)
 * They've now been warned, and we will watch for any further unconstructive edits. Thank you for reverting! Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:15, December 24, 2021 (EST)

Report from The Jacketed Terrapin
User:2600:6c60:5a00:e37b:44e8:84d:fb9b:73b1 Continues to make unconstructive talk page posts. The Jacketed   Terrapin  21:59, August 18, 2022 (EDT)
 * Blocked for three days. I was considering just giving them a warning, but when checking the /64 range's contributions, I found that I'd given them a final warning already, so hopefully this acts as a wake-up call. Thanks for the report! Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:53, August 19, 2022 (EDT)

Report from FizzyCocoaMan
User:Ganondoofus has vandalized Raymond's page with an unconstructive edit saying that Raymond enjoys wearing maid costumes. I undid this edit almost immediately after it happened. Ganondoofus is clearly not here to help the wiki, and I think they should be blocked. FizzyCocoaMan (talk) 01:02, April 19, 2023 (EDT)
 * Thanks for bringing this to attention. I notified the user of their problematic edit. They will be blocked if they make another edit of similarly unconstructive nature. HylianAngel (talk) 01:18, April 19, 2023 (EDT)
 * They've been blocked for repeated vandalism. HylianAngel (talk) 01:41, April 19, 2023 (EDT)

Report from FizzyCocoaMan
2600:4040:F085:F400:2925:D63B:EB4B:4F2B is a vandal and they added random false information to Joan's page about her beijg a wrestler. I've already reverted it, and I think they should be blocked. FizzyCocoaMan (talk) 14:07, May 9, 2023 (EDT)
 * Thank you for letting us know. This was a clear demonstration of vandalism. The user has been blocked for 3 days. 14:44, May 09, 2023 (EDT)

Please change my username to 50µs
My username is currently 50μs, where μ is the 'greek small letter mu'. Since I'm using it to mean "microseconds", I'd like my username changed to 50µs, where µ is the 'micro symbol'. Thanks!
 * I have approved and submitted your name change request. It may take a few hours for the change to show up across the entire site. Your next name change is available any time after: November 16, 2020. Enjoy! -- Jake (talk)  23:33, May 15, 2020 (EDT)

Change name to Moomoomeadows
I’d like my username to be changed to Moomoomeadows. When I created my account, I forgot the S, and now I’m insulting my favorite Mario Kart course. Just to clarify, my username should be changed to the following: Moomoomeadows

Moo Moo Meadows 17:38, December 24, 2021 (EST)
 * Done! Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:37, December 25, 2021 (EST)

Villager Photo Pages
Something went wrong with the villager photo pages and they all say “Lua error: Error: unclosed string literal..”. Did something happen that needs to be fixed? —Moo🐮Moo🐄Meadows (talk) 17:35, March 29, 2022 (EDT)
 * Fixed, thank you. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 17:57, March 29, 2022 (EDT)

Change to Aspen
Could my username be changed to Aspen as I do not wish to be named Aurora anymore. Aurora (talk) 13:16, July 4, 2022 (EDT)
 * Hi Aurora: I see someone created the account Aspen today. Was that you? If so, I'll have to rename Aspen first, and then rename Aurora to Aspen. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 13:30, July 4, 2022 (EDT)
 * Yes, that was me. I had forgot my password, but I remembered it. Go ahead and change the names.
 * Great, thanks! I have renamed your account. Note that you cannot request another rename for six months. Also, if you haven't already, I recommend going to your preferences and attaching an email to your account so you can recover your account if you forget your password again. Thanks, ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 15:24, July 4, 2022 (EDT)

Error on the main page
Hi, it lists the Spider Crab as a new bug on the main page for the north hemisphere but it is a sea creature. Please fix :), Sylveon   🌸🍉🍒  13:36, March 9, 2023 (EST)
 * I just checked, but the spider crab has a dark blue background on my end. Are you saying that you see a green background? HylianAngel (talk) 20:28, March 9, 2023 (EST)
 * I did not realise the backgrounds meant something! Sorry... ~ Sylveon  🌸🍉🍒  07:39, March 12, 2023 (EDT)

username change
can I be called charmander7 please like that no capsSylveon 15:06, April 12, 2023 (EDT)
 * Hi Sylveon. The first letter of a username is always capitalized, and that is unfortunately not something we can change. You can still show your username as all lowercased in your signature if you wish. Let us know if you still want to be renamed to Charmander7. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 15:19, April 12, 2023 (EDT)
 * Yes please! SylveonSylveonSig.png 05:14, April 13, 2023 (EDT)
 * The rename is done! Please be sure to update your signature, and note that you cannot request another rename for at least six months. Thanks, ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 00:57, April 15, 2023 (EDT)

Username Change
Sorry for asking but is there any way I can be Amongusfan282311839185678654789658589658965896578657865467865789657896578976897698686765567454434524435678978696785545745443532236436745754568688646435426435744545674565463354635364564554656566586868779987654324567890898090054565666556 again? I really liked that name. If not, can I be BigAmongUsAwesomeGuyCool? Don't include the question mark by the way, I was just phrasing it as a question. Thanks and I appreciate your help and contributions, no cold feelings of hard feelings. Amongusfan2823 (talk) 16:57, April 18, 2023 (EDT)
 * I renamed you to "BigAmongUsAwesomeGuyCool." The other name is too long, and the character limit is eventually going to be lowered so that users can't create names that long again. Since your name just got changed, you cannot request another name change for 6 months. HylianAngel (talk) 19:20, April 18, 2023 (EDT)

Just something to note.
So my irl sister is Charmander123 and I just wanted to say that User:Animalcrossingfan123 is one of her old accounts judjing by the contributions Charmander7   (Talk)  13:34, May 3, 2023 (EDT)
 * I'd rather not block an account unless there's better evidence or she admits herself that this was one of her old accounts. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:56, May 27, 2023 (EDT)
 * I found something when she originally asked AlexBot2004 to block her old accounts. "Recently I lost acess to a few old accounts. Please may you block them for me? April Toad Fan 700 Animal Crossing Fan Eevee"That's evidence right? Charmander7   (Talk)  02:14, June 18, 2023 (EDT)

Question.
when will the poll on the main page changed it usually changes each month but is been there for nearly 2 now Charmander7   (Talk)  13:54, May 26, 2023 (EDT)

I lost my old account
I forgot my password to Charmander7 account this is my new one please block the old one SunsetBay (talk) 06:42, August 14, 2023 (EDT)
 * That's fine, I'll go and block the old one. But please keep your password safe, because your sister has lost access to several accounts already and I don't want this to become a regular occurrence! Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:43, August 14, 2023 (EDT)
 * That's fine! I won't let it happen again as I did know it- it just would not work? Also can you ask Cranston and Bill the users to stop posting this many messages on my page. Sun set  Bay

My sis lost ANOTHER account.
She made a new one Froggypotter block charmander123 Sun set  Bay  08:31, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

Rename
As per my conferring with User:Drago, I would like to be renamed. To Child of the Ancients. please? Sun set Bay  14:17, August 17, 2023 (EDT)
 * Per our policy, users can be renamed, at most, once every six months. Your last account (Charmander7) was last renamed in April, and you also effectively got an additional "rename" by creating a new account. Your username is meant to be a consistent identifier and shouldn't be changed every few months. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 20:56, August 31, 2023 (EDT)

so next month FroggyPotter (talk) (her sis)

General question
So, in the blocklist there are users with an extremely long name and it is distrupting the general flow of the list. Is there anything the staff could do about it? (Don't ask why I go in there) Sun set  Bay  06:17, September 4, 2023 (EDT)
 * Bureaucrats can rename the accounts if needed, but because the names aren't offensive (and the blocklist probably isn't used by the vast majority of editors) I don't think that's necessary. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:55, September 4, 2023 (EDT)
