May I join the project?--Schapmond 23:11, 20 June 2013 (EDT)

Revive?

Some has to/I might. - HomerJC (talk) 16:26, July 25, 2015 (EDT)

I have my hands full on Project Furniture, but I expect an overhaul over this, since this is so old. Mario Signature.png 16:46, July 25, 2015 (EDT)
Project Furniture sounds more fun, I want to join! - HomerJC (talk) 17:01, July 25, 2015 (EDT)

Special Visitors

I have been reading through this and am wondering if you plan to include special visitors in this project or not? Articles pertaining to special visitors have intrigued me for awhile now (almost a year, actually), and I planned to eventually start a project focused on those characters (not the basic villagers). I do not know everything you intend to do, but if I were to head a project on special characters, which would incorporate any templates and layout designs you request be used, would you be cool with making the two projects the basis of something bigger (in other words, sister projects)? --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 23:49, August 10, 2015 (EDT)

Special visitors aren't a focus of this project, so I would definitely welcome a sister project if you wanted to focus on those pages. I would be more than happy to develop some templates for your project if needed or adapt any of the ones we're using to suit your needs. :) Sunmarshsignature.png (talk) 18:47, August 11, 2015 (EDT)

Album appearances?

Villagers make frequent appearances on album covers of K.K. songs, although the information is typically found in the trivia sections. I think they need a better spot in the article, maybe a parameter called "album appearances"? Mario Signature.png 16:52, August 14, 2015 (EDT)

Well, Template:Infobox Villager has an "other" parameter which is supposed to be used for appearances outside of the main series of games (e.g. 🎬 Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer etc.). It could also be used for album cover appearances and we could link to the KK song page? Alternatively I could potentially add it into Template:Villager Info. What do you think?

Well, I'm not sure if we should list album cameos alongside spinoff appearances. I think you should add it to {{Villager Info}} instead as it seems to be better suited to covering trivial information. Finally, thinking about a response lead me to this: what about outside-series cameos, like appearances in Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8? Mario Signature.png 17:12, August 14, 2015 (EDT)
That's a good question... I think that they should be noted in Template:Infobox Villager using the other parameter as well as in the "Other appearances" section of the villager's article page. I know that most of the outside-series appearances are of special characters/visitors though... which is a question that perhaps SNES should answer as he expressed interest in developing special visitor pages. I think that Template:Villager Info is the best candidate for the album cover info and will put that on my to-do list. Sunmarshsignature.png (talk) 17:22, August 14, 2015 (EDT)
