Nookipedia:Project Items

Project Furniture is a collaborative wiki project that will cover any and everything furniture. Although the project was at hiatus for a few years, since January 9, 2011, there has been some interest, as of July 2014, to revive the project. 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 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 distant friends! You might want some information prior to decorating your house, however. This is what wikis are for, right?

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.

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.

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 take up the bulk of most furniture articles. Tables may be tricky to create at first, but once you have the basics down, you're good to go.

Useful links
You don't need years of training or hundreds of hours of mindless grinding to acquire each furniture item to be a furniture buff. Check out these links below!
