'''Project Furniture''' is a collaborative wiki project that will cover any and everything furniture. Although the project was at hiatus for a few years, since January 9, 2011, there has been some interest, as of July 2014, to revive the project. Since the original foreseer of the project is inactive, I, Mario will take charge in overhauling this project. If anyone else is interested in helping, please do so in the [[Nookipedia talk:Project Furniture|appropriate talk page]], [http://bulletinboardforums.net/threads/project-furniture-reboot.895/ the bulletin board], or [[User talk:Mario|Mario's talk page]].

'''Project Items''' is a collaborative wiki project covering anything related to in-game items, such as furniture, clothing, wallpapers, flooring, and tools.
  
One of the best things about Animal Crossing games is decorating your house with <s>worthless pieces of trash</s> ''glorious beautiful furniture''.<ref>The only bad thing is that, in short of hacking the game, completing your favorite set takes ''forever''. Or, just have a completely random assortment, although a specifically random assortment is ''just'' as hard to have.</ref> Wow your easily impressed villagers and be the envy of your distant friends! You might want some information prior to decorating your house, however. This is what wikis are for, right?

Project Items primarily deals with the maintenance of various furniture, clothing, wallpapers, flooring, tools, and other items under the Item namespace. The project also concerns itself with pages that organize items based on [[Series (furniture)|series]], [[set]], [[Theme (furniture)|theme]], and [[:Category:Furniture categories|categories]], on their properties (e.g. color, HHA theme), or their function (bed, clock etc.). These item pages are linked via a Cargo installation in order to store and query all of our item data. More information on this effort can be found at [[Nookipedia:Project Database|Project Database]].

==General coverage==
+
===={{WW|nolink}}====
Many furniture pieces belong in a set, theme, or series, in order of ascending size. As such, there is no need to create separate pages for each piece of furniture. Redirects, however, can be created to help readers search for individual pieces of furniture. If a furniture piece is part of different series, though, such as that silly Deer Scare that is in both [[Zen Garden set]] and [[Mossy Garden Theme]], a disambiguation page should be created.
+
*Create item pages for the following miscellaneous items:
 +
:*{{I|Conch|WW}}
 +
:*{{I|Coral|WW}}
 +
:*{{I|Dall's top|WW}}

 +
*Add HRA facing wall point deduction (yes/no) to furniture pages (data is on the ACWW Spreadsheet)
 +
*Add whether an item can be transferred to the {{CF|short|nolink}} catalog via the [[Moving Van]] (data is on the ACWW Spreadsheet)
  
===Series===
+
===={{CF|nolink}}====
[[File:Exotic Series.jpg|thumb|center|550px|This is a series. Not so great to own if you have severe wood allergies.]]
+
*Create all {{CF|nolink}} item pages (full data is not yet on the ACCF Spreadsheet)
Series are generic furniture items, such as beds, television, chairs, and lamps, ''but with a twist''. They match! It can be their color, their design, or their "vibe". Furniture series can consist of many things including, but not limited to, [[Minimalist series|boring white furniture]], [[Stripe series|stripey-looking furniture]], [[Mushroom series|furniture smuggled from Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Sloppy series|furniture that would make your parents scold you]], or [[Sweets series|furniture that are your teeth's worst nightmare]].
 
  
====Completed series====
+
===={{NL|nolink}}====
*[[Alpine series]] (images need to be organized though)
+
*Create item pages for [[Photo|villager photos]] (see "Pictures" tab on ACNL Spreadsheet)
 +
*Create item pages for tools (see "Equipment" tab on ACNL Spreadsheet)
 +
*Create item pages for miscellaneous items (see "Other Items" tab on ACNL Spreadsheet)
  
===Theme===
+
===Item tables===
[[File:Animal Crossing Mario Series Complete.jpg|thumb|center|550px|This is a theme. Sleeping, sitting, or avoiding to get burnt by firebars may not be practical but it's worth it to show your retro geekiness. Or your love for me. <3]]
+
*Update all tables using the outdated {{t|TableHeader}} template to use the {{t|TableTop}} template (see [[:Category:Pages with outdated item tables]])
Themes tend to be as big as furniture series, but unlike furniture series, it usually doesn't have a set of generic items such as beds, television, chairs, and lamp designed around a certain style. No, themes, when complete, although mostly impractical in everyday reality, give the impression that you're living in that kind of setting. If you're dying to make your home look like a boxing arena, [[Boxing theme|look no further]].
+
:*If possible, replace any manual tables with tables that pull from item pages using [[Nookipedia:Project Database|Cargo]].
  
===Set===
+
===Miscellaneous===
[[File:VendingSetCGN.jpg|thumb|center|550px|This is a set. Looks nice if you're going for a house that looks anything BUT a house.]]
+
*Update all item names to use their in-game capitalization rather than title case.
Sets don't follow any rules really, but think of them as mini themes or series<ref>Except the [[Fish set]] and [[Insect set]], they seem like full-fledged series, but they aren't, for some reason.</ref><ref>The [[Classroom set]] used to be a theme but was reclassified as a set... for some reason I don't even...</ref>. There are usually much less items associated with a set. For instance, the [[Pear set]] has only two items: a dresser and a wardrobe that looks like -you guessed it- a pear. A few exceptions apply, but take that as a general rule.

Creating redirects is simple. Create the page as you would with any page (searching for the item, then creating the page; clicking on a red link), but input this.

Rules regarding item capitalization were formally addressed in [[Nookipedia:Proposals/Archive#Change item capitalization policy to match in-game capitalization|a proposal]] in November 2022. Users agreed to use the in-game capitalization for item names (e.g., blue chair, sea bass). At the moment, only series, themes, sets, and categories are to be left in title case.

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.

When creating a table of furniture items, it's important to know what templates to use to generate the tables. Nookipedia uses a template using {{t|TableTop}} to create a collapsible container for the table and generates the table's column header labels. Following this, if there is Cargo data for the game in question, declare a Cargo table using <code>#cargo_query</code>. The table needs to have <code>template</code> under <code>format</code>, have <code>named args</code> set to <code>yes</code>, and use a [[:Category:Cargo display templates|a Cargo display template]] for <code>template</code>. This also necessitates the need to declare fields for the table to format properly. If no Cargo data exists for a game, you can use {{t|TableContent}} and manually add the data in. Finally, a {{t|TableFooter}} can be added to close the table, and may be used to add a note value based on the need for attribution.

Project Items is a collaborative wiki project covering anything related to in-game items, such as furniture, clothing, wallpapers, flooring, and tools.

Members can be viewed at the members list. If you would like to join, simply add yourself to the list.

Purpose[edit]

Project Items primarily deals with the maintenance of various furniture, clothing, wallpapers, flooring, tools, and other items under the Item namespace. The project also concerns itself with pages that organize items based on series, set, theme, and categories, on their properties (e.g. color, HHA theme), or their function (bed, clock etc.). These item pages are linked via a Cargo installation in order to store and query all of our item data. More information on this effort can be found at Project Database.

To-do list[edit]

  • If possible, replace any manual tables with tables that pull from item pages using Cargo.

Miscellaneous[edit]

  • Update all item names to use their in-game capitalization rather than title case.

How-tos[edit]

Main article: Help:Contents

Capitalization[edit]

Rules regarding item capitalization were formally addressed in a proposal in November 2022. Users agreed to use the in-game capitalization for item names (e.g., blue chair, sea bass). At the moment, only series, themes, sets, and categories are to be left in title case.

Tables[edit]

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.

{| indicates start of a table

|} indicates end of a table

! column header title

| creates new cell in the same row

|- adds a new row

Table templates[edit]

Main article: Nookipedia:Project Items/Table Templates

When creating a table of furniture items, it's important to know what templates to use to generate the tables. Nookipedia uses a template using {{TableTop}} to create a collapsible container for the table and generates the table's column header labels. Following this, if there is Cargo data for the game in question, declare a Cargo table using #cargo_query. The table needs to have template under format, have named args set to yes, and use a a Cargo display template for template. This also necessitates the need to declare fields for the table to format properly. If no Cargo data exists for a game, you can use {{TableContent}} and manually add the data in. Finally, a {{TableFooter}} can be added to close the table, and may be used to add a note value based on the need for attribution. For more info on how to use them, be sure to visit their corresponding template page for documentation or check Project Items/Table Templates.

Spreadsheet projects[edit]

The following community-run projects are vital for Project Items.
