Project Furniture is a collaborative wiki project covering any and everything furniture. Originally conceived in late 2010, the project had been on hiatus since January 9, 2011 until its revival in July 2014 by Mario. The project has was taken over by sunmarsh in October of 2019 given Mario's absence. If you would like to comment on our progress, please use the talk page.

Members that do not contribute adequately may be considered inactive and may be placed in the retirement list if they are inactive for long enough. Please use good judgment if you think a member is no longer eligible. If you want to be a leader yourself, just ask! Applicants must be active users who have already made significant contributions to the project and on good terms with their peers.

Member benefits? Yeah, you get this really nasty userbox we found lying on the streets, soaked in a puddle. To put it on your userpage, 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!)

Project scope
Project furniture deals with officially designated furniture collections. These groupings are used in-game in the computation of HRA scores. These include Series, Themes, Sets, and Categories. While many of the items in the belong to these groups, there remain quite a few items that do not fit. These can be found in larger lists of items such as Miscellaneous furniture or List of items in Dōbutsu no Mori. The project also concerns itself with pages that organize items based on their properties (e.g. color, HHA theme), or their function (bed, clock etc). As such, there is no need to create separate pages for each piece of furniture.

Current focus
As the continues to grow, so does the number of items we must keep track of and display properties for. In an effort to organize this information and streamline its use, we have decided to try and take advantage of a Wikibase installation that is linked to Nookipedia in order to store all of our item data. More information on this effort can be found at Project Database. Use of the database will require that we update all of our current item templates, and item pages. Given this fact, the creation of and maintenance of our larger item lists is generally discouraged at this time, as these are the ideal candidates for future database utilization.

Series
Most Series pages are missing images. Due to the similarity of the item models from and  it's been decided to use the HHD icons instead of trying to source  item images. Remember that all series also have a corresponding floor and wallpaper.

Themes
Most Theme pages are missing images. Due to the similarity of the item models from and  it's been decided to use the HHD icons instead of trying to source  item images. Remember that all series also have a corresponding floor and wallpaper.

Sets
Most Set pages are missing images. Due to the similarity of the item models from and  it's been decided to use the HHD icons instead of trying to source  item images. Some of the items that were part of a set in became customizable in  and so they do not have an HHD image associated with them. In these cases the image will have to be sourced from a CF guide or from a gameplay screenshot.

Furniture color and Feng Shui
Feng Shui is the practice of putting certain colored furniture in certain spots to increase types of luck. Prior to, only furniture which counted towards Feng Shui was given a color designation. The possible color values in these games are, , , Special or none. These are noted under the Feng Shui column in these tables because color does not effect anything else.

The Animal Crossing games since Wild World have a specific dual color designation for most furniture. 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. For the Sleek Bed, it's Black and Black, or Black (x2). While the vast majority of furniture have two color designations, some furniture have one or no color designation.

The color designations are as follows:, , , , , , , , , , , , , Black

As stated previously, Feng Shui counts only, , and , but the remaining colors are needed if a villager asks for a certain color of furniture. Finally, each villager has a preference for a certain color and theme for furniture. Cube the lazy penguin, for instance, likes colorful furniture.

Although determining furniture color is generally straightforward,be sure to check out the furniture lists in the external links below to determine for sure.

Furniture function
Finally, we have articles based on furniture function. All are incomplete and need images, maybe except for the Lights and Clocks article. 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.

Furniture master lists
Since we do not want to create separate pages for each and every furniture, we must find a way to fit all furniture in the pages. These should do their best at that job.

The rest
We apologize for the huge blank spaces here.

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).

Tables
Tables make up the bulk of most furniture articles. And we don't mean the ones you put your silly computer on. The box below lists some basic wikitext code used to construct a table. Nookipedia uses templates that incorporate these elements, so you don't need to worry about including them when editing furniture articles. However it's still helpful to know what this code does in the event you need to work with raw table coding.

! column header title


 * creates new cell in the same row


 * - adds a new row

Table templates
Nookipedia uses three templates to generate tables: TableHeader, TableContent, and TableFooter. Each template creates a different part of the table. TableHeader creates a collapsible container for the table and generates the table's column header labels. TableContent formats the table's cells and creates new rows, and TableFooter closes the table and any divs used to create the table's collapsible container. For more info on how to use them, be sure to visit their corresponding template page for documentation.

The following sections show you how how each template works to create different parts of the table. If you're still confused on how to use these templates, head over to some of the more completed furniture pages and edit the page to study the coding structure. If you need any one-on-one help, you can contact any of our members, preferably our more active, experienced ones (or sunmarsh, he's the complete moron absolute genius who made them). Oh, and remember to use the preview button before you save!

Template:TableHeader
This template will automatically create a collapsible container for the table as well as its column heading labels. By inputting the correct parameters, the table will automatically generate a table with the appropriate amount of columns for the list you are creating. The template accepts several parameters as outlined in its documentation; however, I will be going over only the required parameters here.


 * game - Specifies the game the item list is referencing. Possible values: DnM, DnM+, ACGC, DnMe+, ACWW, ACCF, ACNL
 * type - Specifies the type of item(s) the table will contain. Possible values: accessory, carpet, clothing, fish, fossil, furniture, gyroid, insect, misc, music, seafood, stationery, wallpaper
 * collection - Specifies the type of list being created/the type of page the page the list will be on. Possible values: category, other, series, set, theme
 * title - The table's name that will appear at the top of the collapsible container.

Example: Let's say you want to create a furniture table for the Pirate theme in ACWW because you like pirates and you want your villagers to mistake you for a pirate. You would use the following wikitext code:

 

and it produces:

Template:TableContent
This template formats each cell's contents appropriately and automatically creates new rows. It does not have any required parameters. If you are creating a critter table, however, you will want to use the type parameter to specify insect, fish, or seafood, so it can change the cell border color appropriately.

Example: Let's try the template out on a bug table...

 

Produces:

Although don't go adding this to furniture pages. As awesome as we are, this is beyond our scope.

Template:TableFooter
This template will produce the appropriate closing tags for a table and its container. If you don't end your tables with this tag, they will take up the entire page and may 'swallow' other elements on the page. That's not good! Your tables don't deserve this! If you look at the wikitext code for this page, you will see I closed the tables in the examples above using this template. This template accepts an optional div parameter which may be set to true or false (default is true). If set to false it will not insert closing div tags. This allows you to embed other tables inside the container before closing it, like in the example below.

Table style guide
Because Template:TableHeader can generate so many different tables it's not really feasible to provide examples of every possible type. Instead the following list provides a style guide for how a cell's contents should be formatted depending on the type of information they contain.


 * Item: Capitalize the first letter of every word in an item's name, except for articles or prepositions.
 * Song Title: Used in place of 'Item' on music tables. Capitalization rules still apply.
 * Name: Used in place of 'Item' on insect, fish, and seafood tables. Capitalization rules still apply.
 * Listen: Used on music tables; insert the appropriate audio file. See Help:Audio for more info.
 * Image: Image width should be set to 75px. If the item is missing an image use the template  .
 * Buy price: Always use Nook's catalog buy price (or other NPC's, if applicable), not Redd's buy price. If buy price is not bells, note the currency used. (e.g. 40 medals)
 * Sell price: Always use Nook's base sale price. If buy price is not bells (e.g. 40 medals), note the currency in the sell price (e.g. 250 bells).
 * Available from: How does one acquire the item? Make sure this content links to the appropriate Nookipedia article.
 * Group: (A, B, C, or -) Only applicable to ACWW and older games.
 * Feng Shui: (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Special, Lucky, or -) Only applicable to DnMe+ and older games.
 * Color: (Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple, Blue, Aqua, Beige, Pink, White, Gray, Black, Brown and/or Colorful) Be sure to put the color name in brackets to call the appropriate template. If an item has more than one color, list them in alphabetical order with a "/" between each one. (e.g.  / ). In specific color lists, however, list the article's color first (e.g. in "List of pink furniture", always list  first). Applicable to ACWW and newer games.
 * Genre(s):(Old School, Modern, Chic, and/or Lovely) Applicable to ACWW & ACCF only.
 * HHA Theme(s): (Harmonious, Antique, Rustic, Trendy, Fairy Tale, Toy Shop, Sci-Fi, or Quirky) If an item has more than one then list them in alphabetical order with a "&" between each one. (e.g. Antique & Trendy) Applicable to ACNL only.
 * Style: (Basic, Cute, Flashy, Historical, Iconic, Modern, Official, Ornate, Rock 'n' Roll, or Sporty) Applicable to ACNL only.
 * Size: How much space an item takes up. (, or  ). On fish and seafood tables indicates shadow size instead.
 * Location: Used in insect and fish tables. Notes where the critter can be caught.
 * Time: Used in insect, fish, and seafood tables. Notes which times & months the critter can be caught.
 * Months: Used in insect and fish tables. Notes which months the critter can be caught. The contents will automatically be formatted to be grey and small. Add the appropriate color formatting to months the critter is available in. Remember that equals signs must be placed in brackets to avoid breaking the template.
 * Info: Can the item do anything special? (e.g. Table, Stereo, Storage, Lamp, TV, Wall furniture, Can place on table etc.)
 * Customize: Can Cyrus customize the item? (Yes or No). Applicable to ACNL only.
