== How to upload images (Mobile) ==

Hi, I’m trying to figure out how to upload an image. It says that I removed the file info template even though I didn’t do anything. How do I fix this? Thanks, [[User:BadTime123|BadTime123]] ([[User talk:BadTime123|talk]]) 06:57, December 30, 2021 (EST)

== How do you make a bot? ==

Hi,
Does anyone know how to make a bot code?

:Majority of bots used here are operated using a {{wp|programming language}} (e.g. {{wp|Go (programming language)|Go}}, {{wp|C++}}).

== HHA furniture theme collection mergers ==

I'm proposing for [[Pirate Ship Theme]] and [[Mario Theme]] to merge with [[Pirate Series]] and [[Mario Series]] (with or without [[Super Mario Set]] merged) respectively. A big reason has to be how they are transcribed in different languages. For Pirate Ship Theme and Pirate Series, they share the same Japanese (かいぞく), Korean (해적), Spanish (pirata), and German (Piraten) translations. As for the Mario Theme and Mario Series, their translations are pretty identical,

I have another reason, that given how furniture series have changed in {{NH|short|nolink}} from having the same bed, drawer, table, and chair features to diverse furniture parts that may or may not have all of the following classifications, that it addition to the translations, they are justified because of the changes made to {{NH|short|nolink}}'s furniture collection classification. So they are the same collection, just under a different name.

Let me know what you guys think of these changes. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 18:08, February 27, 2022 (EST)

:{{Comment}} Are there existing pages where themes/sets and series have been merged? I'd like to know what they look like. Also I don't understand why translations should matter in decisions like these since this is an English wiki. Could you clarify/expand your reasoning here, please?

::{{Comment}} [[Jingle Series]] merging with [[Festive Series]] and [[Pavé Series]] merging with [[Festivale Series]] on the premise of shared Japanese translation for each are instances. And translations can matter in situation in regards to if a furniture series/set/theme is the same as before or if it's a different series/set/theme overall. [[Office Set]] and [[Office Set (Clerical)]] is an example of this. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 19:31, February 27, 2022 (EST)
:::{{Comment}} Thanks for taking the time to explain! I was wondering specically about sets and/or themes being merged into series pages (or sets being merged into themes) and whether there were already precedents, in which case what you suggest is usual modus operandi on the wiki and I'm all for it. I've tried looking for some but only found the cases you mention (series being merged into other series with similar names/furniture, etc.). However, I don't know the franchise and the Nooki well enough. [[User:Melicent|Melicent]] ([[User talk:Melicent|talk]]) 07:08, February 28, 2022 (EST)

== Festivale Feathers ==

Hey, I noticed that when referring to the Feathers collected during the Festivale event, the hyperlink for ‘Feathers’ leads to the disambiguation page for Feather. I was wondering whether I should create a new page for specifically the Feathers collected during Festivale or if I should change the hyperlink to one of the individual feather pages and if so, which one? Thank you for the input and of course please tell me if I have overlooked something or made an error in someway!

:Welcome to Nookipedia, TapDanceDruid! In response to your question, I'd say the link should just be removed. The feathers already have individual item pages for New Horizons and I don't think they're notable enough for their own page.

::Drago beat me to it, but I'll say what I was suppose to say: in regards to the disambiguation page I would probably add the item pages associated with the feathers to the page (e.g. {{I|Green Feather|NH}}, {{I|Blue Feather|NH}}, {{I|Red Feather|NH}}, {{I|Purple Feather|NH}}, and {{I|Rainbow Feather|NH}}) but a new article about feathers doesn't sound bad to me. I would like to know how it would look like first, so I recommend creating a user sandbox [[User:TapDanceDruid/Sandbox|here]].

== Create villager/special character ID redirects ==
{{Archive top|result=Proposal did not go through per issues brought up by HylianAngel. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 13:54, July 4, 2022 (EDT)}}
I've been thinking a lot about the implementation of IDs for villagers and special characters, and if it's plausible to have redirects based on a villager or special characters's ID. It would certainly be somewhat easier to search for a particular codename and then go to the character associated with it.

There are certain articles that will need to have a notice due to this (e.g. [[Doc]] already exists as a villager so a notice would need to be added to redirect people to [[Wilbur]] in the event that someone wanted to search his codename). -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 10:00, March 14, 2022 (EDT)
:{{Support}} It makes sense to have them. It makes things easier. --[[User:Dr. Peach|Dr. Peach]] ([[User talk:Dr. Peach|talk]]) 12:01, March 14, 2022 (EDT)
:{{Comment}} It seems really cool in theory, but does the wiki really need these redirects? I feel like it is not a very practical way of searching up a character. A person who is like "I want to go to cat #5's page," I feel would either want to go there because of these two main scenarios:
:*They already know from memory that cat05 is Tangy. However, if that's the case, they would just look up Tangy anyways.
:*They don't know who cat #5 is and they are curious who it is like a game of chance. However, if they really wanted to learn that info, they would just go to the page of villager ID's (which hasn't been created yet but has been a WIP by Chubby Bub).
:Anyways, I don't see this being a very practical feature. I don't think the redirects would be that helpful just because I would say 99% of players wouldn't know villager ID's by heart, and that the number of people who search for a villager based on ID rather than the villager's name is too small or nonexistent. And if they desired that info, the most practical thing would be for them to go to the ID page. I can't imagine that many scenarios where a person would want to go to, say, kpg's page. I would say the villager ID's page that hyperlinks to each villager page would serve as a more useful trivia and type of "search" feature. Also, along with <code>doc</code> causing confusion, there's also <code>fox</code>, <code>man</code>, and <code>owl</code>. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 16:34, March 14, 2022 (EDT)
:{{Oppose}} for the same reasons HylianAngel says. This seems unnecessary (I see no real use for it) and honestly I think it will just create confusion, especially where redirects are necessary. If someone wants to find a character's ID or what an ID is they can go to the list page, the character's page or search for the ID. But on this topic, I'll try to finish the list pages so we can move them to the main namespace. [[User:Chubby Bub|Chubby Bub]] ([[User talk:Chubby Bub|talk]]) 21:43, March 15, 2022 (EDT)
:{{Oppose}} per above. I don't think redirects for this are necessary or would even be used much. If people want to see which ID links to which villager, then the newly created ID list articles would be far more practical and informative for this. Also IMO we have way too many WrongPage (etc.) notices in the villager articles already without adding even more to cover edge cases like [[Doc]]/<code>doc</code>. --[[File:Shark HHD Icon.png|20px]] [[User:Dorsal Axe|<span style="color:#0B3E57; font-family: Coustard">Dorsal Axe</span>]] <span style="font-family: Coustard"><small>([[User talk:Dorsal Axe|talk]])</small></span> 05:43, March 17, 2022 (EDT)
:{{Oppose}} per others. I could see this perhaps being a useful option to add to the API, but I don't see it getting widespread use on the wiki by the average reader. --<span class="jake-signature">[[User:Jake|<span class="jake-signature-name" style="font-family:Coustard,Verdana; color:#f73422; text-shadow: #e0e0e0 1px 1px 0;">Jake</span>]] [[User_talk:Jake|<span class="jake-signature-talk" style="font-family:Coustard,Verdana; color:#f75b22; text-shadow: #e0e0e0 1px 1px 0;">(talk)</span>]]</span> 14:04, March 17, 2022 (EDT)

== Merge NES games with their respective item page ==
{{Archive top|result=Consensus agrees with restoring the SMB and TLoZ item pages and merging the contents of the NES games with their respective item page. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 08:42, July 5, 2022 (EDT)}}
I really should content that the NES games do serve a purpose in informing the reader on the games that are available to play in {{PG}}. That being said, with the creation of item pages, should they even stay? I'd argue they be merged, with information on the game's origin and gameplay moving to the item page instead.

As for [[Super Mario Bros.]] and [[The Legend of Zelda]], that's tricky. They don't necessary have a respectively item page, so I think a separate choice will need to be made on this. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]])

:I {{Support}} your proposal. However, regarding SMB and TLoZ, I think they should have pages. This is a bit of a separate topic, but here's as good a place to discuss it: I think all unused items should still have item pages. I know they used to but were moved to [[Prerelease and unused content]] pages; however, I think such explanatory pages should exist alongside individual item pages for unused items. It makes more sense to document everything, especially since some, like the DUMMY, are obtainable because of developer oversight or through glitches. Although we ourselves take a neutral stance on modding, it could also be useful for people looking to modify their games, with a save editor or something else. [[User:Chubby Bub|Chubby Bub]] ([[User talk:Chubby Bub|talk]]) 16:24, May 15, 2022 (EDT)

:{{Support}} per Chubby Bub. Glitchers and modders could benefit from articles on specific unused items. [[User:Senor Mexicano|Senor Mexicano]] ([[User talk:Senor Mexicano|talk]]) 07:29, May 17, 2022 (EDT)

:{{Support}} - It makes sense that this info be moved to the item page, good suggestion! I would also argue that [[Super Mario Bros.]] and [[The Legend of Zelda]] should also get their own pages. Just because they are unobtainable through normal gameplay doesn't mean that they aren't items; they should still be documented as such. The "Obtain via" field could list [[Cheating device]].

== Should items only available in DnM, DnM+, or DnMe+ have their Japanese name in the prose? ==

Sort of similar to the discussion from [[Nookipedia talk:The Roost/2021#Add the villager's Japanese name in main prose|last year]], I would feel like having the Japanese name in the prose for items that only appear in {{DnM}}, {{DnM+}}, or {{DnMe+}} would be beneficial since they don't really have an official name and are just translated. Any thoughts? -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 19:45, April 23, 2022 (EDT)

: {{Support}} - Sounds like a good idea to me, too. It's good that the items have best possible translations, but the original Japanese names would be nice to include. --[[User:Piranhapete|Piranhapete]] ([[User talk:Piranhapete|talk]]) 21:45, June 3, 2022 (EDT)

== Issues with pages using cargo tables with a lot of entries ==

As of now, the following pages here are having issues loading at all, and at this point trying to fix any issues is inoperable at this point:
* [[Furniture/New Horizons/Black]]
* [[Furniture/New Horizons/White]]
* [[Furniture/New Horizons/Yellow]]
* [[Poki/Items purchasable with Poki]]
I'm suggesting that we cut our losses and split these pages up into sections, but I can't tell what sections to choose. It's likely for the latter that it is split up between furniture, clothing, interior, and other items, but I'm conflicted with the other pages. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 15:50, May 9, 2022 (EDT)
:I think that furniture could be split between the different types (Housewares, Miscellaneous, Wall-mounted & Ceiling decor). Alternatively, is the problem with Cargo having to perform such a large database search, or is it an issue of the page being too large? Is it possible for us to replace the page with a static table (now that NH will seemingly not be updated anymore)?

== Add a table of catchphrases in different languages ==

With all the effort made in romanizing and adding meaning to each name of a villager using {{t|Foreignname}}, I think doing the same to catchphrases would be nice. We already have Japanese catchphrases translated w/ their meaning for Japanese e-Reader cards, I think doing one for each language, no matter what they mean, would also suffice. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 10:25, May 13, 2022 (EDT)

{{comment}} - Are you proposing this table be added to the bottom of each villager page? Or is this a separate list/page where all villager catchphrases are listed? Or both? It would be nice to have a master list to link to from the [[catchphrase]] page.

: The latter is definitely what I want to accomplish after I get the Cargo values set up, but for my original suggestion, yes, I meant for the bottom of each villager's page. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 01:14, June 2, 2022 (EDT)
::{{Support}} - I think this is a cool idea and it would be interesting to see how similar or different their catchphrases are across different localizations. I think it'd be helpful to see a mockup for how it would look (maybe get started on a template?), and we should probably also decide on whether to rename the "Names in other languages" to something more broad? "Localization differences" is almost there but I think mis-characterizes the nature of the section... "Key translations"? I don't know, perhaps you have some ideas?

== Move the "In other games" section from the infobox to its own section ==

At the time I am writing this, we currently have item pages for the {{PG}} series of games on Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube, {{WW|short}}, and {{NH|short}}. However, given that we will eventually cover the other games in the series ({{CF|short}}, {{NL|short}}, {{HHD|short}}, {{AMF|short}} to some extent, and {{PC|short}}), and each will need its own item page eventually and identifiers for each and every game, I propose to move the "In other games" section in each of the item infoboxes and place them under their own section at the bottom of each item page, as to not bloat the section height. This will need to be done automatically. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 23:12, May 25, 2022 (EDT)

:{{comment}} - I see where you're coming from, and I agree that items which are featured in many different games will have a particularly long infobox once the item pages from all games have been created. I would support adding ''additional'' links in a "See also" section at the bottom of the item page, but I think that the info is important enough to stay in the infobox. I would suggest merging the "In other games" section with the "Appearances" section, so only the abbreviated game titles appear, but the links go to the appropriate item page (e.g. {{Infobox Appearance|game=AC|appears=yes|}} goes to [[Item:Froggy Chair (Animal Crossing)]], not [[Animal Crossing]]).

::The problem is that the {{PG}} infoboxes (e.g. {{t|PGFurniture}}) uses an "Appearance" system, so I don't think this suggestion of renaming "In other games" would suffice, especially so since what you suggest is using {{t|Infobox Appearance}} for this task, right? -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 01:16, June 2, 2022 (EDT)
:::I realize that {{t|PGFurniture}} uses an "Appearance" system, and I'm saying that its functionality should be changed so that it provides link to specific item pages rather than game pages. We would still keep all other functionality (cargo storage of information about what game(s) the item appears in), it's just the link that would change. So in the case of the Froggy Chair the appearance section would look like this: {{Infobox Appearance|game=[[Item:Froggy Chair (Animal Crossing)|DnM]]|appears=yes}}{{Infobox Appearance|game=[[Item:Froggy Chair (Animal Crossing)|DnM+]]|appears=yes}}{{Infobox Appearance|game=[[Item:Froggy Chair (Animal Crossing)|AC]]|appears=yes}}{{Infobox Appearance|game=[[Item:Froggy Chair (Animal Crossing)|DnMe+]]|appears=yes}}{{Infobox Appearance|game=[[Item:Froggy Chair (Wild World)|WW]]|appears=yes}}{{Infobox Appearance|game=[[Item:Froggy Chair (City Folk)|CF]]|appears=yes}}{{Infobox Appearance|game=[[Item:Froggy Chair (New Leaf)|NL]]|appears=yes}}{{Infobox Appearance|game=[[Item:Froggy Chair (New Horizons)|NH]]|appears=yes}}. This would reduce the vertical length of the template as the link text is shortened to the game abbreviation and more than one link can appear on a line.

::::While I see your point of keeping functionality, I don't like the concept of using {{t|Infobox Appearance}} simply because A) the name is hidden bneath those templates and B) it still doesn't address the issue of keeping the infobox as short as possible. Add {{HHD}} and {{PC}}, and the data containers inches up in height once more. It's still making the infobox go up in height, and the solution to address how {{t|PGFurniture}} function is not great to me. I still believe in having a separate section dedicated for "In other games", but I would like to see what others think about this. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 16:13, June 7, 2022 (EDT)

== Reviving the idea of polls ==

This is a far-fetched idea, and given how little relevance the polls have, I'd figured this might be in vain.

But I've been thinking of reviving polls, this time with a commission review similar to [[Nookipedia:Featured Fanart]] and [[mariowiki:MarioWiki:Polls|MarioWiki's poll system]]. It's a hard thing to do, given that A) we haven't done these since October 25, 2017, and B) we've missed the majority of traffic from when {{NH}} came out and when version {{NHVer|2.0}} and {{HHP|short}} came out. But I figured that there is an opportunity to gain community interest, as we did when we decided to capitalize the first letter of each item name, and there are plenty of topics we could cover with the polls.

There are only some things left question, like what intervals do we want to update polls, and how to gain poll suggestions. I was thinking of updating the polls every month,  and gaining suggestions both from Google Forms and a dedicated Discord channel.

What do you think? -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 00:30, June 4, 2022 (EDT)

:{{Support}}. I've been thinking about this recently as well. I think this would be a good thing to revive, especially as polls are on the main page and therefore highly visible. One poll a month shouldn't be too much to handle, especially if we get a committee together of three or four users. I agree with giving polls a Discord channel similar to how fanart has one, with only staff and poll committee members having access.

== Song pages for "Hazure" songs ==

I think the three invalid songs in {{NH|short}} merit their own song pages. Here's why:
* We had pages for [[Animal City]], [[Goodbye]] and [[Drive]] long before {{NH|short|nolink}} came out, and these pages were changed/expanded when it did; the same can be done for these songs when the next game releases
* They are all present on ''[[Atsumare Dōbutsu no Mori: Original Soundtrack 2]]'', where they are given official Japanese names (はずれ01, はずれ02, はずれ03) and credited to [[Kazumi Totaka]]
* Hazure02 is getting a special remix on ''[[Atsumare Dōbutsu no Mori: Totakeke Music Instrumental Selection]]''
* They each have enough that can be said about the song itself for a page, in my opinion.
* They have unobtainable items in-game.
And all that makes me think these songs are notable enough not to be lumped together at the bottom of the [[secret song]] page. [[User:Chubby Bub|Chubby Bub]] ([[User talk:Chubby Bub|talk]]) 01:23, June 19, 2022 (EDT)

:{{Support}} That example page looks great! Is the plan to wedge these 3 songs in between [[K.K. Robot Synth]] (the last numbered song) and [[K.K. Chorale]] (the first numbered song)? If so, some modifications to {{T|Song Header}} will be required (I think), but once that roadblock is taken care of, these would be 3 excellent pages.

::{{Comment}} Yes, I would agree with that change to the song header. Currently the songs are internally numbered 901-903, and I think that should be reflected (maybe with a note), but presumably they will be given sequential numbers in the next game.

== Changed German names ==

So while browsing the German ''Animal Crossing'' Wiki, I have found '''ten''' cases of villagers that had their German name changed that we haven't documented on here, yet. These are:

•[[Dobie]] used to be called "'''Fritz'''" in ''Population Growing'', but was renamed "'''Sigmund'''" in ''New Leaf''. [[Frobert]] has his former name.

•[[Gruff]] used to be called "'''Siggi'''" in ''Population Growing'', but was renamed "'''Gregor'''" in ''New Leaf''. [[Antonio]] has his former name.

•[[June]] used to be called "'''Regina'''" in ''Population Growing'', but was renamed "'''Juna'''" in ''New Leaf''. [[Rhonda]] has her former name.

•[[Kitty]] used to be called "'''Katja'''" in ''Population Growing'' and ''City Folk'', but was renamed "'''Karen'''" in ''New Leaf''. [[Katie]] has her former name. Although I find it rather skeptical that Kitty and Katie supposedly shared a German name in ''City Folk'' (Similarly, Gracie and Bangle were both named "Griffa" in Italian ''Population Growing''). Either the German Wiki made a mistake or there really were two characters named "Katja" in the same game.

•[[Leopold]] kept his English name in ''Population Growing'', but was renamed "'''Leandro'''" in ''New Leaf''. No other character has had "Leopold" as their German name.

•[[Lolly]] used to be called "'''Ferdi'''" in ''City Folk'', but was renamed "'''Feline'''" in ''New Leaf''. No other character has had "Ferdi" as their German name.

•[[Peanut]] used to be called "'''Pia'''" in ''Population Growing'', but was renamed "'''Paulina'''" in ''Wild World''. [[Pinky]]'s German name is also "Pia", but strangely, the German Wiki does not state that she had a name change. If accurate, then that would mean German ''Population Growing'' literally had two villagers named "Pia". This is another case where I do have to question the German Wiki's legitimacy.

•[[Sandy]] used to be called "'''Sandra'''" in ''Population Growing'', but was renamed "'''Senta'''" in ''New Leaf''. [[Gladys]] has her former name.

•[[Tiffany]] used to be called "'''Michele'''" in ''Wild World'' and ''City Folk'', but was renamed "'''Michelle'''" in ''New Leaf''. No other character has had "Michele" as their German name.

•[[Tybalt]] used to be called "'''Tristan'''" in ''Population Growing'', but was renamed "'''Arne'''" in ''New Leaf''. [[Moe]] (who was called "'''Mia'''" in German ''Wild World'') would gain the name "Tristan" starting with German ''City Folk''.

As I stated with the Kitty and Peanut sections, I do question how accurate the German Wiki is and these do need a full investigation, but I did want to bring this to the attention of Nookipedia and these names should be noted on the appropriate pages if any of them do turn out to be true.

:{{Comment}} After comparing these findings against the data spreadsheets for each game, I can confirm that all of these name changes are accurate with the datamined names (even the two "Pia"s in {{PG|nolink}} and Kitty's name being "Katja" in {{CF|short|nolink}}).

== Non-English names as redirects/disambiguation pages ==

So I have been thinking of an idea that could potentially benefit any of our non-English native readers (who may be more familiar with the non-English names of certain villagers/characters), and my idea is to take all of the villager/character names that were never used in English localizations and turn them into redirects. For example, the name "Xavier" is exclusive to the French version of ''Animal Crossing'', being the name used for Pigleg, so if a French reader wants to look for "Xavier" on this Wiki, a redirect might help.

For the names that have been used by multiple characters, those should be disambiguation pages. For instance, the name "Pablo" was used for three different villagers, all in different languages: Chico in German, Claude in Spanish, and Otis in Italian. It should look something like this:
:''Pablo may refer to three villagers in the {{SER}}:

:''*The German name of [[Chico]], a [[mouse]] villager.
:''*The Spanish name of [[Claude]], a [[rabbit]] villager.
:''*The Italian name of [[Otis]], a [[bird]] villager

The only concern I have is if the German-exclusive names should be turned into redirect/disamb pages since we already have an [https://animalcrossingwiki.de/start affiliated German Wiki] that mainly covers the German localization stuff, but other than that, I don't see any problem with this.

Any objections to this idea?

:{{Support}} This sounds like a nice idea. Also although the German wiki exists, German visitors may still visit Nookipedia and search for a villager via the search bar out of curiosity, so it would still be good to have German redirect/disambiguation pages.
