Proposal to remove the Guide namespace
This proposal is going to be controversial, but I feel that the removal of the Guide namespace may be in the best interests of the wiki. Guides are our weakest area, there doesn't seem to be much desire to improve them, and most of their content can be moved to mainspace pretty easily. Let's remember that Nookipedia is first and foremost an encyclopedia, not a strategy guide, with sites such as IGN, GameFAQs, Polygon and many others offering much better guide content than us.

If this proposal passes, this is what I plan to do with our existing guides:
 * Guide:Animal Crossing, Guide:Animal Crossing: Wild World and Guide:Animal Crossing: City Folk don't have anything not already covered elsewhere, and so can be deleted, with the exception of Animal Crossing's controls, which could be moved to the main article.
 * Guide:Bug Catching isn't great, despite my improvements, and can probably be deleted.
 * Guide:Campsite Minigames could be a subpage of Campsite (facility).
 * Guide:Coffee Preferences could be a subpage of The Roost Café.
 * Some of Guide:Easter Eggs, Glitches, and Secrets could be transferred to Glitch, although there's some duplication.
 * The face style guides aren't very long, so could be transferred to Player.
 * Guide:Golden Axe trading event's content could be transferred to Axe.
 * There isn't much useful content on Guide:Perfect Town Rating, but anything that is useful could be transferred to Environment rating.
 * Guide:Saving can be deleted in my opinion.
 * I'm unsure about Guide:Unlocks/Upgrades, but I believe that all its content will be covered elsewhere, so maybe deletion?
 * Guide:Villager Information could be a subpage of April Fools' Day, or simply a standalone article.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks! Drago  (talk)      14:27, January 25, 2021 (EST)
 * per the above. I've actually been thinking about this for a while too, so I'm glad you brought it up. Like you pointed out above, a lot of content in the Guide namespace would work just fine in the mainspace and the more guide-like content that wouldn't work in the mainspace isn't that great to begin with. Plus, we have StrategyWiki for game guides. ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 15:11, January 25, 2021 (EST)
 * it seems like it's mostly a legacy namespace from before the merge. These pages don't get much love, and don't really fit into the focus of the wiki these days. I think even if we don't vote to remove the pages, they would be better served as subpages rather than having their own teeny, tiny namespace. Given that we seem to have some sort of affiliation with StrategyWiki (I assume?), perhaps some of this content could be ported over there? --Shark HHD Icon.png Dorsal Axe  (talk) 10:56, January 26, 2021 (EST)
 * StrategyWiki's guides already look pretty well-established, other than for New Horizons, which is incomplete. But we have very little New Horizons guide content here either, so porting looks off the table. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 11:53, January 29, 2021 (EST)
 * - I keep going back and forth on this. I agree that given the lack of enthusiasm for the namespace in addition to its sparse content, it doesn't make sense to have a dedicated namespace for guides. That said, prior to NH's release the face style guides were one of the top 10 most visited pages on the wiki. I think that this is just an example of the AC lifecycle over the long term: as the current game continues to age, people start to replay the older titles, and so they look for things like the face guides when creating their new towns. Whatever the decision, I think we should still keep redirect pages for searches like "Face guide" or similar so that the content can be found at its new location. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  13:55, January 30, 2021 (EST)
 * per above. v mario 97  (talk) 13:09, March 23, 2021 (EDT)
 * While I'm not inherently opposed to the namespace, I support removing it given its sporadic coverage of topics and lack of maintenance. Any and all useful content should be merged into the mainspace (and/or StrategyWiki when relevant), and then redirected to the most relevant mainspace article. It will be a bit of a hit to remove one of our most popular pages pre-NH, but as long as the content is merged and redirects made, I think it will be fine. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 11:31, April 5, 2021 (EDT)

Pocket Camp event pages
As I'm working on developing pages for Pocket Camp items, I'm thinking about our coverage of Pocket Camp events, of which there are over 250. My current plan is to make a new article (with a new PC Event infobox) for each event. Each event page would document the items that can be obtained during the event (and when applicable, the critters or fish that can be caught). Just wanted to note this here in case anyone has any thoughts. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 22:35, February 13, 2021 (EST)
 * Sounds good to me! It also seems like a page header (to navigate the events sequentially) and navbox (to see a list of all events in one place) might be helpful for those pages to help people find the event(s) they are looking for. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  13:20, February 14, 2021 (EST)

Suggesting to go gender-neutral on Gracie, Blanca, and Saharah
It is often said that the Western world loves to change whatever the foreign world does for them. In this case, Gracie, Blanca, and Saharah all had their gender changed from male to female. While I do believe we should adhere to Western names and terminologies for characters, I don't think we should be calling them "she/her", nor would "he/his" would be applicable.

I'm aware this doesn't relate to the West as much as it does in Japan/Korea, but I think we should change the pronouns for Gracie, Blanca, and Saharah to "they/them". It wouldn't change much in what they're meant to do or their dialogue, but it would balance out their gender differences, considering how they're handled here in the. Plus, Player is already using "they/them", tho a counterpoint can be said for being playable, whereas Gracie, Blanca, and Saharah aren't.

For instance, take this description from Saharah about their gender differences:
 * "In Japanese and Korean entries in the Animal Crossing series, Saharah is male, while in all other versions, she is female. However, her appearance, including her voice, is identical in all versions."

If we change their pronouns to become more neutral, the changes are shown here:
 * "In Japanese and Korean entries in the Animal Crossing series, Saharah is male, while in all other versions, they are female. However, their appearance, including their voice, is identical in all versions."

What do you think? Should we use "they/them" for these special NPCs? -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 22:12, March 5, 2021 (EST)
 * Slight, as using "they/them" in that particular section might force that section to disagree with "she/her" throughout the article. Keeping the text as-is is good enough. Lucky Clover NL Icon.png talk:Decomposer 09:33, March 8, 2021 (EST)
 * @Decomposer, this is not on that specific section, but on changing every "she/her" in those articles (plus where these characters are within other articles) with "they/them". -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 09:38, March 8, 2021 (EST)
 * I because we should go by what the Western localizations do, and if they say Blanca/Gracie/Saharah are female, then we should use "she/her", regardless of their genders in other regions. As for the players, they have no set gender since it is chosen by the player, so that's why we use "they/them" for them. ~  AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 10:43, March 8, 2021 (EST)

Movement of unofficial subjects to the Community namespace
While we don't have a defined coverage policy, I believe the mainspace should solely be for covering official subjects. Thus, I am proposing that coverage of unofficial subjects (e.g. fansites) be moved to the Community namespace. From my understanding, the idea behind the Community namespace is to document things like this; plus, this is content from the community. Note that the content of the pages affected would not change; they would still be encyclopedic articles. I feel that having the content in a namespace dedicated to content like this will also allow us to expand our coverage of it further, adding more fansites and other community subjects, such as speedrunning, fan-made software, mods, and more in the future without affecting the main article namespace.

The following articles would be affected by this change: • Animal Crossing Ahead

• Animal Crossing Community

• Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The Wiki

• Animal Crossing New Leaf Wiki

• Animal Crossing Wiki

• Cheating device

• Hacked villager

• Hacking

• Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance

• Nookazon

• Nookipedia

• Seeds (hacking)

• The Bell Tree

• Villager modifier ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 17:21, March 16, 2021 (EDT)
 * Especially for the websites considering they're community-run by fans. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 09:46, March 17, 2021 (EDT)


 * I see no real reason to oppose this. It definitely makes the distinction between fan works and official works more noticeable as well as allows us to expand on it further. In particular perhaps we should look into popular foreign websites. That’s a discussion for another time though. Senor Mexicano (talk) 03:07, March 18, 2021 (EDT)


 * moving website articles. While we could come up with some sort of notability policy to host them in mainspace, I agree that it's not really our scope, and I'd rather just cover these things in a separate namespace and open that namespace up for more comprehensive coverage of community sites, tools, speedrunning, etc.
 * However, I am leaning for cheating device and Seeds (hacking). These articles give a broad, encyclopedic history, one of a popular piece of merchandise that isn't really community-y, and the other of an in-game item that was abused. I'd be fine with moving the other hack-related articles (Hacking, Hacked villager, and Villager modifier). ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 04:13, March 20, 2021 (EDT)
 * Agreed on the point about cheating device and seeds. Senor Mexicano (talk) 04:53, March 21, 2021 (EDT)
 * I'm leaning towards . I think they should remain in the article main space as they are, well, articles. We're not an official site, so I don't believe our scope should be restricted to only 100% Nintendo official approved content, and I don't like the precedent that would set. Our coverage should always be based on relevance to the series and notability. If the pages in question weren't encyclopedic in nature, then I'd say it's fair game. --Shark HHD Icon.png Dorsal Axe  (talk) 11:58, March 20, 2021 (EDT)
 * Well it's not as if moving them to the community namespace would strip these articles of their encyclopedic value nor lessen their status as official articles. Namespaces serve to help categorize different types of articles. A good example of a wiki using multiple namespaces is SmashWiki, which has separate namespaces exclusively for tournaments, players, organizations. I don't think there's much harm to using the community namespace exclusively for community-made websites, projects, or tools. Senor Mexicano (talk) 04:53, March 21, 2021 (EDT)
 * Actually it would lessen them. They would not be counted as articles in statistics, and also not be surfaced with the random page function. If there is some way around this, then I guess I have no objection. Personally I can't think of a way that wouldn't involve every page in that namespace being counted, which is not desirable as there are non-article pages in that namespace. We would basically be mixing articles and non-articles together, which feels quite iffy to me. --Shark HHD Icon.png Dorsal Axe  (talk) 12:33, March 26, 2021 (EDT)
 * per above, but I agree with by SuperHamster.  v mario 97  (talk) 13:09, March 23, 2021 (EDT)
 * . After a long think, I've decided that I don't consider any of these to be official subjects. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 12:37, March 26, 2021 (EDT)
 * most of these, and agree with SuperHamster's distinction here but I would go further to exclude villager modifier from the move as well. It's my understanding that the Community namespace is for topics which are developed and supported by the AC-community. So anything that is built-in or inherent to the game (like the villager modifier), while it may be used by the hacking community for their own purposes, is just another aspect of the game's internal logic or coding (unless I'm misunderstanding what is meant by 'villager modifier').

Proposing deletion for unused/deprecated templates
Not much of a result ever came out of this this discussion, but I'd like to propose that we now delete the following deprecated templates: Almost all of these particular templates are unused. A few of the region tooltips are used on a couple of user pages that could be substituted to preserve them there, and the few remaining uses of Template:Na can easily (and should!) be converted to the modern template. Any thoughts? -- Dorsal Axe  (talk) 12:28, March 26, 2021 (EDT)

Rethink our approach for Themes in
Right now, our wiki is under the assumption that Theme (furniture) corresponds to the Themes of the previous games (e.g. Mario Theme). But after glossing over each and every theme, I've come the conclusion that they are not the same idea. They are the interior theme of the previous games, and those are simply what category every furniture item is in. Therefore, I proposal to separate Theme (furniture) into what counts as a theme and what count as an interior theme (e.g. Child's Room Theme). -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 07:24, April 10, 2021 (EDT)
 * I'm not sure I understand the distinction you're making between "Theme (furniture)" and an "interior theme". How are you determining which ones go on which page? Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  15:26, April 23, 2021 (EDT)
 * Mario Theme is a theme that features Mario-related items. Child's Room Theme is a random assortment of items that have no correlations whatsoever besides being considered "Child's Room". The former is an actual furniture theme, the latter is an interior theme. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 19:50, April 23, 2021 (EDT)
 * That's a I thought I had when the game launched (I datamined these and added them to the navbox at the time), it really does seem to be a totally different concept/approach to previous games.
 * Actually, I personally think we should actually do away with the series/set/theme designation entirely in terms of how we structure our articles. The HHA classification seems to change frequently between games. In the case of it appears that none of the newly added furniture actually has a HHA classification, despite many of the items clearly being organised into distinct sets. IMO the way it's split currently is a little confusing (e.g. Classroom Set and Classroom Theme are effectively the same thing, it's just categorised differently between games). I think it would be better to simply have articles with the name of the collection (e.g. 24 Hour Shop, Blue, Zen, etc.) and outline the HHA classification in each game within the appropriate sections in the article itself. We can tell which items are intended to be related to each other as the filenames for every item seem to have some unique indication of the collection it belongs to. This seems to be the case even when they don't have an in-game classification, such the Campus Series. --Shark HHD Icon.png  Dorsal Axe  (talk) 05:47, May 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * That doesn't seem like a bad idea imo, but 24-Hour Shop, Campus, and Fueki are not considered furniture series as datamined in the HHA classifications. If they do return as a series in, then perhaps they can be added, but as far as I know, these series are related to a company and may as well fit under that brand:
 * 24-Hour Shop Series would fit under 7-Eleven
 * Fueki Series would fit under Animal Crossing x Fueki
 * Campus Series would fit under Kokuyo Camlin
 * Besides those issues, I agree with this statement and I would reclassifying every one of our furniture series/set/themes under a specific name instead of labeling them as " ". -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 14:52, May 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * per above. v mario 97  (talk) 15:35, May 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * I would removing our NH theme pages such as Child's Room Theme. While they're called themes, they act the same as HRA genres from previous games, and thus I think they should go to Furniture/New Horizons/Theme Name (e.g. Furniture/New Horizons/Child's Room). However, I'm leaning towards  on removing Series/Set/Theme from the existing collection pages. If they change between games, we can just merge them into one page and use the latest name, while noting the difference (e.g. "Prior to, the Classroom Set is known as the Classroom Theme and is scored accordingly by the HRA"). ~  AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 15:52, May 1, 2021 (EDT)


 * It took me a minute, but I finally understand the issue here. I moving these NH HHA Theme pages to a subpage of Furniture/New Horizons. It seems we are moving toward subpages for furniture lists, generally speaking, so I think that we should probably have a larger discussion about the best way to organize these pages and to make the existence of the subpages more obvious to readers on the root page (in this case: Furniture).

Add general information about generations, competition, as well as sales & reception on console articles.
I see the console pages on this wiki to be very small when compared to other NIWA wikis like Mario Wiki and Zelda Wiki. They lack info on which generation they belong in, the competition, as well as their sales and reception info. I've gotten my edits undone just because they don't qualify as Animal Crossing coverage. I feel that general information about a console's generation, competition, as well as their sales figures and reception should not be left out as they have just as much importance to a console's page as the Animal Crossing information does. I feel that Nintendo-related info, even if it is not related to Animal Crossing is just as important as the Animal Crossing info on the console pages. Nintendo is the parent company to which the Animal Crossing IP belongs, so the parent company should also get some coverage as well, but just on the console pages itself along with the Animal Crossing related info that is on there. We should be improving the articles, not watering them down, so the added info about generations, competition, as well as sales and reception would be considered improvements to the article even if they're not Animal Crossing related. The readers have to know more about the console other than just the basic information that's there. --Dr. Peach (talk) 16:19, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
 * We are an Animal Crossing wiki, so our information should lean toward the subject's relevance to Animal Crossing. We should have general information to introduce the console (e.g. what it is, when it released) and can briefly cover things like which generation it's a part of and lifetime sales, but we do not need to add information about which consoles it competed against or reasons why it succeeded or failed. People who go to Nookipedia to read about Nintendo consoles likely want to know about the console's relevance to the Animal Crossing series, so that's what we should prioritize. If a reader wants to view in-depth general information, they would visit the corresponding Wikipedia or NintendoWiki article. ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 16:56, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
 * I agree with AlexBot2004. Realistically a user who is seeking comprehensive information about a specific Nintendo console would probably go to the Wikipedia article for that info. But if they were searching up a console on an Animal Crossing wiki, then it would be expected for the pages to have a narrower and more specialized scope where the primary focus is the Animal Crossing games, the excessive info isn't as practical. HylianAngel (talk) 17:06, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
 * All per comments, I leave an for adding more details to the console articles.  v mario 97  (talk) 17:08, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
 * I agree with AlexBot2004's statement, and I for this reason. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 17:13, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
 * Additionally, I would like to point out that we are not Super Mario Wiki or Zelda Wiki. They have differing guidelines on what to include for their pages, just as we have differing guidelines on what to include on our pages. NIWA doesn't mean we have to share the same rules or information, NIWA means we have a value of community and support. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 17:59, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
 * per the above. That said, I understand your perspective, and it is obvious you had good intentions in proposing this. If comprehensive information about Nintendo consoles is something you are passionate about, then I would recommend contributing over at NintendoWiki. It has never really taken off the way NIWA thought it would. The few individuals active there would really appreciate any contributions you make. BladeofEvilsBane (talk) 00:21, May 15, 2021 (EDT)
 * . I don't think there's anything wrong with adding this extra information, but as Alex and others have said, Wikipedia already covers it better. This sort of thing is at the bottom of our priority list, and it makes more sense to use editing time to improve Animal Crossing related content. I would be opposed to the creation of articles for the SNES, Game Boy etc. (which was suggested on Discord), because they don't have any link to Animal Crossing at all. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:41, May 15, 2021 (EDT)
 * - I agree with most of the comments here that extensive console coverage is outside the scope of this wiki. A simple line regarding generation & competitors is all that is necessary (e.g. 'x console is part of the nth console generation, competing with...'). If you're interested in focusing on console information, the following topics would be helpful:
 * In relation to the console's life-cycle, when were AC games released?
 * How did the release of AC games affect console sales?
 * How did each AC game make use of the console's unique hardware capabilities (e.g. Wiimote, GBA to GCN cable etc.)?
 * Were there any AC-related special edition consoles or accessories?
 * I'm sure there are more AC-related aspects to consoles that could be covered, but hopefully that gives you an idea of what kind of content we're encouraging on our console pages. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  13:19, May 20, 2021 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I agree that we should only make a one sentense covering the generation and competition but nothing more than that so that we don't fall out of scope for this wiki. --Dr. Peach (talk) 10:40, May 21, 2021 (EDT)

Split into separate availability templates
I know this won't be popular considering a lot of pages use Template:Availability, but at this point, I feel like there's too much to add that it's becoming a growing nightmare to deal with, especially with how limited MediaWiki can handle a template like this anymore.

I think long-term goal we should split this template into multiple sections. There are two options to consider.
 * 1) We split the template by their category. This means that Plants go to a specific category, and NPCs go in another. The Fortune Cookies from  therefore have their own separate template.
 * 2) We split the template into their own game. This is a big deal because this could mean linking specific items such as flower items by using Template:I. Long-term, when we do include items from other games like, , and , we don't have items that have to linked to one page in order to maintain consistency. We can have   for  redirect to   and in ,   goes to  . This can also factor in specific icons for specific games, depending on if those icons exists. Now things that are common across multiple games, such as   and  , we can opt to keep those in the main template as they are not really game-specific in that regard.

This needs to be addressed, because the more we add to this template, the harder it gets to add new availability factors and the more likely that the template will cease to operate due to how many items need to be added (e.g. Pocket Camp fortune cookies). -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 13:21, June 6, 2021 (EDT)
 * I'm quite onto this, having separate templates could simplify things quite a bit, but it will probably be a long process getting everything back together since we have so many pages with the availability template. ~ Vivian   (talk)     Vivian DnMe+ Minigame.png 13:28, June 6, 2021 (EDT)
 * I would like to point out that we have bots that we can rely on to replace those texts. And that most templates can easily swap stuff around and add those specific names (see Template:CargoDisplayNHFurniture). -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 13:36, June 6, 2021 (EDT)


 * The switch parser function help page over on wikipedia says that while a function can technically contain between 1k-2k branches, it "should be split to have less than 100 branches, in multiple or nested parts". If we expect that we will ever reach the upper limit/run into performance concerns, then splitting it would be easier to do sooner rather than later. Also, I didn't see this post before I made edits to the template to simplify it. Even though it's more readable/editable now, I agree that splitting it is still something we should consider. If we didn't want to adjust the template call on all of the pages in which Availability appears, we could create a template that determines which 'category' the call fits into (e.g. is it a plant, fortune cookie etc.). We could then use this determination to split the huge switch into several nested switches:

{{#switch: {{#var:category}} . ..
 * fortune = {{#switch: {{{1|}}}
 * Clothing Fortune Cookie
 * Timmy's Fortune Cookie


 * The  template would determine what category the input belongs to, and this information could be accessed by calling the variable  . This would still result in the template being very long though, as all of the different options would exist in the same template, just nested in multiple switch functions to improve performance. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  20:33, June 27, 2021 (EDT)
 * Minor suggestion if this would be implemented in the future, subpages could be used to separate between games e.g., {{t|Availability/NH}} and {{t|Availability/PC}}, to prevent ing hell. Regardless, the template definitely has to be split in the future. Lucky Clover NL Icon.png{{colorshow|006600|Decomposer}} 10:59, August 11, 2021 (EDT)

SVGs, indexing, and gadgets
Hello editors! Thanks to the hard work of Jake, we've recently upgraded our MediaWiki version and made some small changes and improvements.


 * You can now upload SVGs - huzzah!
 * Userpages and all talk pages have been noindexed, meaning they will no longer appear in search results (Google, Bing, etc.). This was done to help protect user privacy, and to keep discussions, draft, and fan content out of public search results. If you'd like your userpage to appear in search results again, just add  to the top of it.
 * While we've had these for a while, they've never been formally announced: if you go into your Preferences -> Gadgets, there are some nifty tools here that can enhance your browsing and editing experience, like a scroll-to-top button, talk page discussion counter, syntax highlighter, and more.

Cheers, ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 22:24, June 15, 2021 (EDT)

Question.
Bunny currently redirects to Rabbit, a Villager's name is also Bunnie. Some people might not know know Bunnie's name is spelled B-U-N-N-I-E. Should we put a Wrong page template on Rabbit or make a redirect page? Petaldancer66😺 Petaldancer66 talk 15:43, July 7, 2021 (EDT)
 * I'd go with the wrongpage template. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 11:34, July 8, 2021 (EDT)

Page about sleep
I think we need a page on this wiki about sleep, we could talk about all the messages left on doors while villagers are asleep, what hours they fall asleep and wake up at on each day, etc. Anyone got any thoughts on this? Meganium39 (talk) 05:58, July 22, 2021 (EDT)


 * I think this is an interesting idea, I just don't know if there is enough information for its own page. If you'd like to mockup the page in a sandbox to get an idea of how much info there is that would be helpful. And then if it looks good we can move it to the main article space. At the very least though, sleep schedules deserve mention in the personality section on the villager page. I think they are only mentioned on the individual personality pages right now.

Doubutsu no Mori e+ Monthly Fishes: New pages or extra sections on Animal Crossing pages?
Hi. I was asked to post this question here because I added sections for on [] and subsequent articles up to May atm, and while I didn't think much about them, I should have probably asked others beforehand. Here's the issue, resumed: Given that the changes I tried to do weren't as small as I thought, I came here to ask everyone interested for a better solution to this. By either undoing the changes and placing that list on its own page, changing the title to reflect the actual change inside of the article, or by doing something someone else thinks that's better.
 * was missing all pages for monthly fishes, so I, instead of making new pages per month for the 8 new fishes added to this game, decided to include those in a section of the monthly fishes pages.
 * While I did it to prevent copying all 's monthly pages only to add those 8 fishes, or for making a really short page, it hadn't occurred to me that such change could be questionable, as both games are seen as quite different, but in reality hadn't expanded much on the fishes, bugs, and fossils areas.
 * I . I'd prefer to make a list Like this. Petaldancer66😺 Petaldancer66 talk 19:09, July 22, 2021 (EDT)


 * First off, I just want to say that I appreciate you taking the initiative work with cargo and generate these tables for us. You've done a great job so far. That said, while I agree that it does seem a little silly to generate a very similar table for e+ on its own page, we've established a naming system where each game gets its own yearly and monthly lists, regardless of how similar those lists may end up being. ( doesn't get its own list because it is the Japanese version of, even though there are significant localization differences between them.) So, in summary, for consistency I think it would be better to have the full e+ list on its own page. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  13:23, July 23, 2021 (EDT)
 * I see, I probably should have done that from the very beginning instead of deciding on my own to simplify everything (even if it was mostly copying and pasting code). Unless I see someone else has fixed what I've done in the time I wasn't around, I'll start undoing my changes and creating the respectives pages for each month in e+. Thank you very much to the both of you and sorry for cluttering those pages up, lol -- SEISHI★ (talk • contributions) 09:28, July 24, 2021 (EDT)

Ya probably could. Petaldancer66😺 Petaldancer66 talk 22:52, July 28, 2021 (EDT)
 * I disagree with Vivian. While we haven't gotten to items yet, we have to recognize that eventually they'll be replaced by transparent images provided by Phil and Alex whenever they get to images for  items. We can keep the images for now, but they will be deleted upon replacement. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 23:45, July 28, 2021 (EDT)

Individual item pages for stationery
I would like to suggest individual item pages for specific stationeries. Particularly because until, they are items that the player can collect, and the Stationery page is not enough to document the specifics in general. I would say it would be perfectly suitable for games before, but for stationeries, I would like to know whether or not those stationeries deserve their own page. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 17:34, August 2, 2021 (EDT)


 * I agree that for games prior to, all stationery deserve their own item pages. I would argue that since stationery is no longer an obtainable item (and does not appear in the item catalog) in NH it doesn't make sense to put NH stationery into the Item namespace. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  22:29, August 5, 2021 (EDT)
 * I see the point, though I do think we could find a way to include other translations for various stationeries in . Would there be any tangible way to include translations for each stationary in ? -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 22:47, August 5, 2021 (EDT)
 * You know, thinking about it again I think I've changed my mind lol. There are stationery items in previous games that are unobtainable (although they sometimes appear in the catalog), so existing as an inventory item or place-able object is kind of an arbitrary rule to decide on whether or not something is an item. Plus, there is a mailbox 'inventory' of sorts that can store letters in . Using the existing infobox templates on designated item pages would also be easier/more consistent. So I think I'm on board with the idea. I'm still curious what other editors think though. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  23:24, August 5, 2021 (EDT)

Link template refactor
Hello everyone, I wanted to get your thoughts on re-coding our link templates. Right now they use a lot of nested switches and are a bit dense/difficult to edit. But more than just replicating the original functionality, I also wanted to take this opportunity to improve them and wanted to get your input on this.

Proposed changes:
 * Shortening the  parameter to.
 * Removing the  parameter altogether and just having the long name, the short name , and the abbreviation.
 * Changing the default behavior to produce the short name instead of the full name.
 * Adding the parameter  to produce the full name.
 * Changing the  parameter (e.g. ) to   (short for 'abbreviation') or   (short for 'acronym').

These link templates are the most used templates on the site. The NH template alone is used on over 30,000 pages, so this is something that would affect nearly every page of the wiki (as at least one of these templates is probably found there). Would love to hear your thoughts on the proposed changes, and also on implementation. Do you even think it's worth it to change these templates? All feedback is welcome.  ( talk )  23:17, August 5, 2021 (EDT)
 * I don't see a reason why "" could be used for an article link, so I removing it. As for the template changes, I think I have a weak  given how massive these templates are being used and the massive work that will need to be done to change all of those parameters. But I'm not opposed, I think the replacements may work out well. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 01:43, August 10, 2021 (EDT)

Addressing problematic issues with the Nook Shopping seasonal event page
This is not something that can be easily swayed for given the circumstances at hand here, but I think we may as well address the current uprising.

As of now, Nintendo is leaning focus to perpetuate a cycle of Nook Shopping seasonal events while they wiggle it out with adding new content. Looking at these "events" closely, the only major factor is that these events just has the player purchase them via Nook Shopping and have it straight delivered from there.

However, having it be logged in a single page present some problems. Firstly, although they are significantly minor events that are way less interactive than the previous events at hand, they are still events. They still count as an event internally through the game's code. Secondly, each event name has its own set of translations that cannot simply be fit on a page that is already becoming too big. There's also the added bonus of not being able to use interlanguage links to our German affiliate for these specific events, but they do have a unified page, so it isn't a problem.

What is a problem though, is that as Nintendo continues to grow the list of items, it's starting to grow more unbearable to add these new events and items to the table. And all that mess results in a table that is why less mobile friendly than it is. The table looks good on desktop, but looks outright intimidating on mobile. There are ways to make the table not stick out as a sore thumb, but because all that information needs to be scrolled horizontally, there is the potential for readers to not see a complete information.

At this point, there are three ways to approach this issue:
 * 1) Create pages for Nook Shopping event. Now this won't eliminate the Nook Shopping event page in general, but it will help downsize the page's main table significantly since we want to assure that our mobile readers can read their info better by not forcing them to scroll horizontally. Individual pages also have the opportunity to add in missing translations that we have not added yet. This present a problem however, since there is very little to say about these events other than a small pace of words.
 * 2) Downsize the table into a few columns, and just have event names, date, or description. It's not ideal, certainly there are merits to have info about this events, but it is something to help improve readability on this page.
 * 3) Transform the table into an article-based structure where each event gets a date and the list of items. This would mean that we'd have a longer page to scroll through, but it is certainly better than having a table that readers will need to horizontally scroll though to see the other portions of information.

These are just a few ways to go through this issue, but I'd like to know what are your thoughts on the option and if there are any ways to address this problem. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 04:19, August 10, 2021 (EDT)
 * I think we should treat them as standard events and give them their own pages. Even though they only offer an item and some info about the event itself, at the end of the day that's all the minor events in previous games were (going to Isabelle/Tortimer and getting an item and some event-exclusive dialog). ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 17:14, August 10, 2021 (EDT)


 * I agree with Alexbot2004 that each event should have its own page. That will solve the translation issue and will open up the opportunity to cargo store event info (if we aren't doing that already). As for the table issue, I think it would be great if we could develop some way to have tables display less columns on screens with less space. If that's not feasible, I think moving the description to each event's individual article page will go a long way to reduce horizontal scrolling. You could also condense columns into the same cell (for example, place the date below the event name on a new line instead of in a separate column) to help with this as well since the table isn't sortable.

Where to link Wild World items to?
Hi, I've recently been trying to edit some Wild World item lists to include their textures in pages like this: https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Wallpaper/Wild_World I wanted to link the items to their individual pages, for example, the Ancient Wall to Item:Ancient Wall, but I found the only related item pages are for Animal Crossing (the first one) and for New Horizons. So my question is, is it fine for me to link the Wild World list to the Animal Crossing Item pages? And if it is, should they be edited to add the Wild World textures? Sorry if it has been discussed elsewhere, I didn't quite know where to ask this. --Roli300 (talk) 08:33, September 3, 2021 (EDT)
 * Our item pages are specific to one species of game, due to the fact that each game has its own set of data for each item. Though we haven't developed any Wild World item pages yet, you can help create those pages on this wiki. The Spreadsheet for Wild World is over here if you need to reference on making those pages. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 09:05, September 3, 2021 (EDT)


 * Oh, I see, thanks a lot for the quick response. I'll try to slowly create some Wild World pages, then. Should I use the same template as the one in the Animal Crossing pages or is there some other template I should follow? --Roli300 (talk) 09:15, September 3, 2021 (EDT)
 * They would have to use their own template, although we have not created one yet for Wild World walls/carpets. Just to let you know though, the item pages can be created automatically by a script to save time, since there are hundreds of items in the game; this is how we created the GameCube and New Horizons pages. ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 10:18, September 3, 2021 (EDT)


 * I just wanted to provide a bit more context for you in regard to your question. The wiki is moving towards a database-generated model for our item tables, meaning that we use a tool called Cargo to generate databases of items, and then we pull certain groupings of items (example:clothing, wallpaper etc.) from that database for display in tables. This way, we don't have to manually enter data cell by cell as is currently being done at Wallpaper/Wild World. In order to fill our cargo database, we create individual item pages, which have a special code in them that tells cargo to store whatever data fields we specify. So, you're more than welcome to work on a page like Wallpaper/Wild World, but once the individual item pages are all created, the content at Wallpaper/Wild World will be replaced using a Cargo-generated table. Essentially your work on pages like this will eventually be 'erased'.


 * The workflow we are currently using is something like this:


 * 1) Extract data from the relevant game (item data & images/model renders)
 * 2) Compile that data in a spreadsheet, broken down by item category
 * 3) Create the appropriate cargo & infobox templates for each item type
 * 4) Create a script to automatically generate pages for each item using the appropriate template(s)
 * 5) Once the relevant item pages have been created, create pages for lists of items, populated using cargo queries


 * I'm not certain which stage we're at in this process for items, but we do have a channel on Discord if you're interested in getting involved. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  17:30, September 3, 2021 (EDT)

More hourly type pages for people who like playing at their local times
One of the main things that i wanted to add to this wiki was to add two more pages to it.One of them would be about hourly changes to the game, for example, for the 7 A.M. section of it, there could something saying stuff like, Animal Crossing -Nook n go opens- or for the 8 P.M. section of it, Animal Crossing City Folk -K.K. Starts playing songs- which is something I've wanted on this wiki for a long time. Another page idea is for hourly songs in all of the games as well as their rain and snow versions as well as their cherry blossom and e+ versions.
 * Thanks for your suggestions, ! I really like these ideas and will put them on my to-do list. Also, when you leave a comment on a talk page, please remember to sign it with four tildes at the end: . This will produce a time-stamped signature so we can all more easily follow the conversation and can see who is replying to who. Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  18:12, September 28, 2021 (EDT)

Move Nookipedia:Community Fountain over to the talk page instead
After glossing over Nookipedia:Community Fountain, I have to say that there is no need for the page, especially since not much has updated for that page since 's launch, and it would be more appreciated to have a convenient spot to talk about discussions across Nookipedia.

There is still some useful info to use on Community Fountain, but I think we should just axe the page in favor of a redirect to this talk page. Do any of you agree? -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 20:47, September 30, 2021 (EDT)
 * Move or redirect? You used both terms. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 20:53, September 30, 2021 (EDT)
 * Ah sorry. I refer to moving as in making the main page a redirect and moving some or all content from that page over here. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 20:54, September 30, 2021 (EDT)
 * Gotcha, just wanted to make sure I understood. Thanks! ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 20:55, September 30, 2021 (EDT)
 * - Just for reference, this was originally brought up by back in May on Discord. I agree that the sidebar should link to this page, rather than the project page. I don't support a redirect though, rather I think we should pare down the project page and transclude it to the top of the talk page. I suggested just keeping the 'things to do' and 'need help?' sections. If we do this though, we need to make sure we replace all links to the project page, since it will not be a redirect. This should be a relatively simple text replace.


 * Also, this is perhaps a separate discussion, but how do we feel about changing the name of the Community Fountain to something else? It seems like maybe this was in reference to Serena's fountain in, and perhaps an AC-style take on Wikipedia's 'Village Pump'? Either way, I think that something like "The Bulletin Board" would be more appropriate, as it's something that is found in every game and its function is very similar to that of the Community Fountain (collecting messages/promoting discussion). Sunmarshsignature.png  ( talk )  23:45, September 30, 2021 (EDT)


 * - My preference would be to remove the main Community Fountain page (which I agree isn't very useful), and then move this talk page (and the archives) over to the regular Nookipedia namespace (so this would become the 'new' Community Fountain, if that makes sense).


 * You're probably now thinking "But if this isn't going to be a talk page anymore, we won't be able to add new sections." I think there is a way to get around that, though, but I can't remember what it is right now. You definitely see it on Wikipedia with their village pump, admin noticeboard etc.


 * As for the name, I think Community Fountain is fine, but I wouldn't be opposed to changing it to something related to New Horizons. I don't think "The Bulletin Board" is a good idea; it might be confused with our old Bulletin Board forums. I have thought of "Community Plaza" or "Resident Services" as alternatives (although this page isn't really a service). Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 10:40, October 1, 2021 (EDT)


 * To make sure I'm understanding correctly, you're suggesting we move the content from Nookipedia talk:Community Fountain to Nookipedia:Community Fountain and delete the current content at Nookipedia:Community Fountain?


 * Not to put down the forums, but... I think you're giving their name recognition a bit too much credit, lol. Also I think it's a nice homage/call back to them. To be 100% honest... I was thinking to myself as I typed up the post "Wasn't there a Bulletin Boards site or forum or something? ...where am I remembering that from?" It's embarrassing to say I didn't remember that it used to be our own forum lol.


 * I agree that it would be nice to change the name to relate to the most recent game, and I think The Town Tree would have been a good pick for ACNL, but I don't think that ACNH has many good options. Resident Services doesn't really make sense. Maybe The Roost? Would certainly capitalize on the hype, but I don't know if ACNH will become known for that (perhaps it's already infamous...).
