Image category organization
I noticed that there's an incomplete organizational setup involving image categories in the wiki. There seems to be a useful category, Category:Animal Crossing: New Leaf pictures (see talk page), that was left unused mostly and I questioned if it's necessary. I do think there can be use for that category, but only if other similar subcategories of images are created (e.g. Animal Crossing: New Leaf flowers), so I think we should create more categories (while also completing this category) and if those subcategories make sense. 19:13, January 1, 2020 (EST)
 * This discussion could be an extension of 2019#Creation of subcategories for . Sorting things out would be great for those categories, but may require tedious work. I'm actually working on scripts that could do exactly that, which have to be sanctioned of course, but there needs to be some agreement on which categories are needed. I'm thinking of the following archetype for New Leaf, which still needs refinement:
 * Category:New Leaf images (Rationale for such format: (1) Category:Welcome amiibo Images uses the short name, (2) Category:Animal Crossing: New Horizons images uses lowercase, and (3) "New Leaf" and so on are already unambiguous.)
 * Category:New Leaf screenshots (most screenshots in Category:Animal Crossing: New Leaf Images that don't apply in subsequent categories)
 * Category:New Leaf pre-release screenshots (Category:Animal Crossing: New Leaf pre-release images could be moved to this since there are only images of screenshots and nothing else in said category)
 * Category:New Leaf villager houses (File:House of Etoile NLa.jpg), could be a subcategory of Category:Villager houses
 * Category:New Leaf letters (File:Letter Isabelle NL Town Anniversary.jpg and in Category:Letters)
 * Category:New Leaf events (File:Toy Day NL wrong present aftermath.jpg)
 * Category:New Leaf pictures (File:ResettiPicACNL.png; also why are most pictures in Category:Welcome amiibo Images?!
 * Category:New Leaf furniture (File:24 Hour Counter.jpg; there doesn't seem to be much since we're using HHD icons)
 * Category:New Leaf sprites (File:30,000 Bells NL Icon.png)
 * Category:New Leaf clothing
 * Category:New Leaf bottoms (File:Arctic-camo Pants and in Category:Bottoms)
 * Category:New Leaf tops (File:Blue Diamond Shirt.jpg and in Category:Tops)
 * Category:New Leaf dresses (File:Pharaoh's Outfit.jpg and in Category:Dresses)
 * Category:New Leaf footwear (including socks and shoes)
 * Category:New Leaf bugs (File:New Leaf Museum Butterflies.jpg)
 * Category:New Leaf fish (File:NL-fsh-suzuki.png and most in Category:Fish Images)
 * Category:New Leaf deep sea creatures (File:Lobster NL.png)
 * Category:New Leaf character art (File:Angus NL.png and File:Katie NLa.png)
 * Category:New Leaf model renders (File:Chip NL Model.png; should not include those such as File:NL-fsh-suzuki.png)
 * Some of these may potentially be overkill (letters? or categories for types of clothing if there aren't much to begin with?) although the archetype shown above could be used as a basis for further discussion on this topic. My rationale for this is to facilitate searching for media, as the current Category:Animal Crossing: New Leaf Images is too polluted, and the only way to search for, for instance, a particular villager's picture is to go to their article. I have also noted the omission of  in naming these categories, which can also be discussed. (Also can we archive discussions above this one to Nookipedia talk:Community Fountain/2019?)

 * I'm in agreement with all of these categories including the shortening of the category names to remove the leading 'Animal Crossing'. I would also propose that we put the system into place for all future images uploaded to the site and start retroactively organizing images beginning with . One more note, we actually have lots of (non-HHD icon) images of ACNL furniture, they're just categorized in Category:Game Screenshots along with thousands of other images. I believe most of them were uploaded by Mario though, so we could find a good chunk of them by sorting through their contributions. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help with this.
