I wanted to first say thank you to [[User:LoneShadowStar|LoneShadowStar]] for creating this project, I think it's definitely past due. That said, I do have a few questions about the proposed naming conventions. My first question is why the convention for villagers is VillagerName(space)GameAbbreviation.png (e.g. Bob NL.png) whereas all other files start with the game title: GameAbbreviationVillagerNamePitfall all with no spaces. Is it because most of the villager files were already of the format VillagerName(space)GameAbbreviation.png? It would seem to me that for consistency there either should or shouldn't be spaces, and the game abbreviation either should or shouldn't be first (or last). Also we should formally name all of the game abbreviations we plan to use. (e.g. PG, WW etc.) We should also list here all of the categories we plan to use in a list format so it's easy to understand/find them all. Linking to properly categorized example images would also be helpful. I'm not sure if this project's leader will reply here, so I'd like to open this topic up to discussion.

AC or PG

There's one problem here. It should may titled PG (for Population Growing) instead of AC, because AC may referenced as the series. Vmario97 (talk) 01:52, May 4, 2018 (EDT)

Naming conventions

I wanted to first say thank you to LoneShadowStar for creating this project, I think it's definitely past due. That said, I do have a few questions about the proposed naming conventions. My first question is why the convention for villagers is VillagerName(space)GameAbbreviation.png (e.g. Bob NL.png) whereas all other files start with the game title: GameAbbreviationVillagerNamePitfall all with no spaces. Is it because most of the villager files were already of the format VillagerName(space)GameAbbreviation.png? It would seem to me that for consistency there either should or shouldn't be spaces, and the game abbreviation either should or shouldn't be first (or last). Also we should formally name all of the game abbreviations we plan to use. (e.g. PG, WW etc.) We should also list here all of the categories we plan to use in a list format so it's easy to understand/find them all. Linking to properly categorized example images would also be helpful. I'm not sure if this project's leader will reply here, so I'd like to open this topic up to discussion.
