Welcome to Nookipedia, SnorlaxMonster!
Nookipedia.png
We're glad you've taken the step to create an account and edit our wiki! With an account you'll now be able to easily edit pages, participate in discussions, watch pages, track your edits, and have access to additional editing tools. You can also create and edit your own user page.

If you intend to continue editing, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Read our wiki's general use and editing, and privacy policies.
  • Preview your changes before saving them to avoid the need for making corrections afterwards.
  • Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes instead of undoing or reinstating changes repeatedly without discussion.
  • Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This code will automatically leave your name and a timestamp.

You can find editing tutorials and further information about our policies on the help pages.

Where to start? Check out the The Roost for the latest discussions, or consult the to-do list on the Main Page to see tasks that need to be worked on.
Questions? Feel free to ask a member of staff directly, post your question on the The Roost talk page, or ask about it on our Discord icon Discord server. We're always happy to help!
Thank you for your contributions, and have a great time! -- Nookipedia Staff

Re: Categories

Sorry about that. I know I wasn't clear, but it's hard to include it all in reversion notes. Some of the categories you were attempting to create already exist under other names. (ie: Villagers already exists as Characters) We're not strict about any of this, and I definitely don't mind you creating new categories. In fact, I'm glad that you're helping us with uncategorized pages.

If you feel that 'Villagers' is a better title, than feel free to move the 'Characters' category to reflect that change. It's just much more efficient to do it that way. I also think that the addition of a Miscellaneous category would be useful considering the number of objects in the Animal Crossing Series that do not fit anywhere else.

If you create a new main category, you can always send me a message and I'll add it to the main page and sidebar. Thanks again for your help! :) --Jake 23:02, 27 October 2010 (EDT)

I really don't like the Miscellaneous category. You aren't categorizing anything. Almost always you will be able to find something else that has something in common with it and categorize them together. For example, if an article titled time exists and you are stuck on where to puut it, make the category Game mechanics, and it will be easy to find other things that go there. Also, pages shouldn't be exclusively in the stub category. All of your categories should be categorized as well. There would be one top-level category that is uncategorized. I think characters is better than villagers. --SnorlaxMonster 23:15, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
Very well then. If you can think of a way to categorize everything in a way that makes sense, then of course I'm in full support. A miscellaneous category is not always helpful to the user, after all. --Jake 15:24, 28 October 2010 (EDT)

Logo Change

Hey SnorlaxMonster! By request of some NIWA members and also out of my own opinion, we have decided to change the logo that appears on other sites. NIWA will be updating the logo on the main page as soon as possible. I know that you're an admin on Bulbapedia, so I was wondering if you could do us a favor and re-upload this file to reflect the new logo? Also, I belive the bulbapedia:MediaWiki:Sitenotice still needs to be changed to reflect our wiki being added.

Thanks for your help with both this and around the wiki. We appreciate it very much! --Jake 14:37, 20 November 2010 (EST)

OK, I've uploaded the new logo, but anyone with an account can upload images, and I'm not an admin at Bulbagarden Archives (the image repository for Bulbapedia). Also, the link you gave me was identified as malicious, so I just viewed the page source and found the location of the image from there. As for the sitenotice, I'm only a Junior Admin, and I can't edit anything in the MediaWiki namespace, but I've passed the message on. --SnorlaxMonster 03:21, 22 November 2010 (EST)
