Nookipedia talk:Project Items

Rename to Project Items + Merging Project Fashion

I'd like to propose expanding the scope of this project to cover all items. Our current work on creating item pages, Cargo tables, and so on is pretty standardized and similar across all types of items (furniture, clothing, interior, etc.), so I don't think we need to limit ourselves to just furniture here. This would also mean folding Nookipedia:Project Fashion into this project (not that that project was ever active). ~SuperHamster Talk 18:05, January 11, 2021 (EST)

•  Support per SH's comments above, sounds good to me. Drago (talk) 12:39, January 12, 2021 (EST)

 Support per the above. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 14:13, January 12, 2021 (EST)

Done! Project moved. ~SuperHamster Talk 01:25, January 13, 2021 (EST)

Project history

For brevity's sake, I've removed the project's history from the lead. Pasting it here for posterity:

Originally conceived in late 2010, the project had been on hiatus since January 9, 2011 until its revival in July 2014 by Mario. The project was briefly taken over by sunmarsh from October 2019 through December 2020.

Templating PC item page prose

For our NH + PG item pages, we have the prose written out instead of templated. If I'm remembering correctly, the main reason was to keep them similar to conventional articles + make it more inviting for users to edit to add additional info.

For Pocket Camp item pages, I'm thinking of templating the prose. There are several thousand more PC items than other games, with more added each month, and changes frequently introduced (namely items being re-issued). Long-term, it'll be easier for us to create new pages + update existing ones if we don't have to worry about manually updating prose. If any article needs additional information, it could still be written in after the template. Let me know your thoughts. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 19:51, May 31, 2021 (EDT)

I think that would be nice, though I do want to see it in action before I decide to support this. I think the templating the prose could work well, but I would like to an example using one of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp's items. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 19:56, May 31, 2021 (EDT)

I think that sounds like a reasonable proposal. It would definitely cut down on the amount of boilerplate text that needs to be added to each page, and as you said, any extra information could always be added following the template. --Jake (talk) 00:53, June 1, 2021 (EDT)

 Comment - I agree with PanchamBro that it would be nice to see an example first, but generally I think this is a good idea. Pocket Camp seems to be less popular among editors, so I don't think there will be much desire to add more content to these pages. Also if we find that we need to add a sentence or two within the boilerplate text, we could also add an optional note field (or similar) somewhere in there to allow for more flexibility.

Now that we can take advantage of Scribunto/Lua, I created Module:PC Prose - this script takes the same parameters that the infobox has and outputs prose. You can see it in action at User:SuperHamster/Sandbox/Turquoise. Still a work in progress, but enough to give an idea of how this would work. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 20:56, June 12, 2021 (EDT)

Definitely need to fix the "Crafting" availability though; that thing is supposed to be for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, not Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. The code should be {{Availability|Crafting (Pocket Camp)}}. But beside that, it looks good! Now we could also display what tasks could be done and what trades Lloid can offer. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 02:51, June 13, 2021 (EDT)
