== How do you make a bot? ==

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

:Majority of bots used here are operated using a {{wp|programming language}} (e.g. {{wp|Go (programming language)|Go}}, {{wp|C++}}). My bot ({{u|PanchamBot}}), uses {{wp|Python (programming language)|Python}} for parameter additions, file moves, and page creation functions. Warning tho, you will need to have administration permission and lots of coding experience if you want to operate your own bot someday. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 10:20, February 6, 2022 (EST)

== 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)

== 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)

== 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.

== 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.

{{Archive top|result=Overall support for the creation of the "Hazure" invalid song pages. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 18:37, August 24, 2022 (EDT)}}
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)

== 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?

== Hong Kong or Taiwan ==

Generally speaking, when considering our usage of Chinese character, we usually denote it with the flag of the {{wp|China|People's Republic of China}} for Simplified Chinese, and the flag of {{wp|Hong Kong}} for Traditional Chinese. I'd like to know though, why are we specifying Hong Kong as the representative for Traditional Chinese? Why not the flag of {{wp|Taiwan}}, a country that has more population than Hong Kong and therefore has more users of Traditional Chinese? -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 02:20, November 25, 2022 (EST)
:I asked my Chinese friend if it made sense to change the Traditional Chinese flag from the Hong Kong flag to the Taiwanese flag based on population. To rephrase what she stated more gently, she basically said it is very nonsensical to base it on population, and it would be as similarly nonsensical, as say, using California as a basis for the entirety of the United States simply because California has the largest population. She says the flag would also have an impact on the romanization of the Traditional Chinese names, as the dialect in Hong Kong is primarily Cantonese, unlike Taiwan.

I plan to automatically move the item pages and rename the items once the policy changes are set in place, and I don't need problems down the road.

Right now there are some emoji redirects involving the species pages. Currently these redirects exist: [[🐂]] [[🐊]] [[🐒]] [[🐕]] [[🐦]] [[🐵]] [[🐶]] [[🐺]] [[🐻]] [[🦍]]
They are kind of peculiar, and I can't really gauge if these would necessarily be useful. They're so silly that I wouldn't even mind keeping them.

a. Complete the collection and create more redirects involving the remaining missing animal emojis from the [[:Category:Species|species]] pages<br>
b. Delete the existing animal emoji redirects.

:Currently, the major missing romanization on all articles, especially villager articles, is Traditional Chinese, as it was made a separate entry from Simplified Chinese. For Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese (the mainland language of China), you can pretty much use Google Translate to obtain an acceptable romanization of the name. However, Traditional Chinese is a slightly more complicated subject to tackle.

:I asked my Chinese friend if [[Marina#Names in other languages|this Traditional Chinese romanization of Marina's name was correct]], because it was so different from the Simplified Chinese romanization. Zhānglìnà vs. Jēung Laahp Nóh is crazy different, to me as an English-speaking person. But no, she mulled it for a few seconds and said, yep, the Traditional Chinese romanization in this situation is correct. Nookipedia is using the Hong Kong flag, which implies the dialect is Cantonese. I asked her to ignore the flag, and she said you can't do that, the flag matters. I told her that most other wikis, like Bulbapedia and WiKirby don't use flags, and they usually have it simply stated as "Simplified Chinese" and "Traditional Chinese" in written text without flags, and that they tend to make both of those romanizations identical. She said that's the wrong way to approach it, since you're basically erasing an entire dialect from existence by making the romanizations identical. I asked her, would it make sense to make the Traditional and Simplified Chinese romanizations the same if the flag was not there at all, and she said, yes, some dialects of Traditional Chinese would have identical romanization as Simplified Chinese, but that is why the flag is so important in this scenario because the Hong Kong flag implies the Cantonese dialect, and you shouldn't make the romanizations the same if it's the Hong Kong flag.

:She also explained that China has been attempting to erase Cantonese for some time in order to make Simplified Chinese the main language. Another unfortunate aspect is that we wouldn't even be able to obtain any Cantonese Traditional Chinese romanizations on Nookipedia without the help of a Cantonese-speaking person, because Google Translate spits out identical romanizations for Simplified and Traditional Chinese anyways. So we have a major problem where the Hong Kong flag would be misleading if we were to copy-paste the Simplified Chinese romanizations to be the same as the Traditional Chinese romanizations, but if we were to decide to stick with Hong Kong/Cantonese, we probably will never have any Traditional Chinese romanizations ever, unless a Cantonese person decides to join and contribute for every page (and my Chinese friend does not know Cantonese). [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 16:13, February 17, 2023 (EST)

:I may not know much about Cantonese at the moment, but I've been thinking about it considering that it has several romanizations that could be used here. I'm pretty sure Bulbapedia used Yale romanization for Cantonese, but on the other hand, there's also Jyutping romanization. If we can get some pointers on which of these romanizations should be used here, it would be a good start. Not to mention, the example of Marina earlier on seems to be using Yale's. <span style="background:linear-gradient(0deg,blue,cyan); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">'''''[[User:Starry Windy|Starry Windy]]'''''</span>[[User talk:Starry Windy|<span style="color:gold">★</span>]] 23:05, November 29, 2023 (EST)

== Villager Quotes ==

Hi! I am new to being an editor, but recently I noticed Nookipedia doesn't do individual quotes for villagers, something the Animal Crossing Wiki does do. I've been adding quotes for a few villagers, but not too many. I wanted to garner some support before I continue to do more. I know most quotes are similar within personality, but there are some, like picture quotes, that are individual to certain villagers. I think this could be really cool to do for every villager, because the rest of the villager page isn't very personalized at all. Plus, sometimes, people only need the page to look for the picture quote, and putting it at the top of the page could be useful. I think it would be fun for the editors, and readers, to mix it up a little. So, community, do you have an opinion? Should I keep going? [[User:Omigpine11|Omigpine11]] ([[User talk:Omigpine11|talk]]) 17:59, March 11, 2023 (EST)Omigpine11
:Although photo quotes are "unique dialogue" involving the villager, I feel it is not needed to include it at the top of the page, since this info is available within the infobox ("favorite saying"), which is very close to the top of the page already. If a reader only needs the photo quote, they already have easy access. These quotes are also located on the [[Photo]] page. I personally {{Oppose}} adding photo quotes to the top of villager pages. However, I {{Support}} adding quotes on villager pages in cases where it is in-game dialogue completely exclusive to the villager. These cases are rare, but some cases do occur in New Horizons involving very specific species-personality combos (where there is only 1 villager who is that species-personality, like Wendy the peppy sheep, on Year of the Sheep). While it's not really from the game, I agree with the [[Alfonso]] quote you added from the official NH website, since it is indeed completely unique. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 18:25, March 11, 2023 (EST)
::Actually HylianAngel, the top quote on Alfonso's page ''is'' a quote lazy villagers say in ''New Horizons'', just that "This place" is replaced with whatever you named your island.

::That being said, I don't really mind it being Alfonso's top quote since the website does make that association.

:::Thanks, I should have worded it more clearly that it's a unique association.

[[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 18:34, March 11, 2023 (EST)
:I wanted to mention that I went ahead and added the unique dialogue involving New Year's Day for unique species-personality combos to the "Trivia" sections of the involved pages, but only for bulls/cows (2021), tigers (2022), and rabbits (2023). So this would be [[Coach]], [[Norma]], [[Patty]], [[Rolf]], [[Claudia]], [[Gaston]], [[Coco]], and [[Mira]].

:I didn't add the dialogue for future years yet, which would be horses (2026), sheep (2027), monkeys (2028), birds (2029), dogs (2030), pigs (2031), and mice (2032). Actually, from reading the dialogue files, it's unclear if Year of the Rooster (2029) will apply to all bird-related species (birds, ducks, eagles, ostriches, penguins, and chickens), a subset of these bird species, or just chickens themselves. The dialogue specifically says "Year of the Bird," or "Year of the Rooster," depending on the personality type of the speaking villager, but mostly these dialogues state "Year of the Bird." Unless someone time travels to 2029 and checks each species, or unless a dataminer could examine the code, it probably won't be known. Anyways, I felt it would make sense to just add the dialogue for 2021-2023 and not the future years yet. However, I wouldn't be against adding the future years either.

== Villager catchphrases ==

I strongly believe that villager pages should have a dedicated section to their catchphrases in each language, in the same style as their given name in the "Names in other languages" section. Currently there is not a good place to describe the meaning of a villager's foreign catchphrases, so there are cases where the Japanese catchphrase holds some relevance to the character, but since there is no decent section to place it, it is instead placed at the top of the page, where it sits next to any relevant English given name and English catchphrase origin information. That location is somewhat awkward, since it's inconsistent to have the English given name, the English catchphrase, no Japanese given name (since Japanese name info is generally placed in the "Names in other languages" section), and then the Japanese catchphrase.

If there was a dedicated section for catchphrases in other languages, it would not only allow describing any Japanese catchphrase relevance, but also the relevance of catchphrases of every other language as well, and there is currently no location to place non-English or non-Japanese catchphrase relevancy information. Basic "names in other languages" and "catchphrases in other languages" data exists in the infobox, and yet only the "names in other languages" is duplicated at the bottom of the page. I believe both should be at the bottom of the page.

While the main article header would be "Names in other languages," there are 2 different formatting styles that could be implemented:
*The sub-headers are the words "Given name" and "Catchphrase."
**Optionally and additionally, in combination with this style so that the name and catchphrase are extremely explicit, a parameter for the English name can be included, like how Fire Emblem Wiki does it ([[fireemblem:Marth#Etymology and other languages|example here]]). While it might be currently redundant with the English information included in the intro prose, I think it's fine for there to be redundant information, as many villager pages already do repeat redundant information (like the infobox repeating the foreign names information), and it can serve a very useful utility purpose if intros are ever repurposed to no longer include English name/catchphrase origins. Plus, it would allow for future "favorite sayings" English explanations, which no intros do unless it's related to the character's identity/species somehow, but I feel this would be good information to include no matter what.
*The sub-headers are the character's actual name and catchphrase, like for example [[Sherb]], the sub-headers would be "Sherb" and "bawwww."

I'm also open to other suggestions for the formatting style. I'm slightly partial to the first style, just because there might be a case where "favorite sayings" are also given their own dedicated section in the future, and the full saying might be weird as a header. What formatting do you think would be best? [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 14:50, April 4, 2023 (EDT), edited again on 16:11, April 22, 2023 (EDT)

==Trig Jegman's File Template==
As I am sure you have seen, I've been working on the creation and generation of [[Module:Sandbox/Trig Jegman/File|my file module]] for Nookipedia. The time is now to suggest that it is used instead of the existing [[Template:File Info]].

First, to be explicitly clear, this module would work the same as a template to the degree that I have made sure everything will retroactively work on it. '''Nothing would break by the implementation of the module.'''

Second: My module is a lot beefier than the existing template is now. Here's the main takeaways:
*Combined licensing. No more need for having 33 different licensing templates, when the module will take care of all of them collectively.
*More maintenance parameters and a closer analysis of sourcing. There are several maintenance features included, such as files taken from FANDOM sources or YouTube.
*Predesignated sources for when the user captures an image themself.
*Automatic categorization. This is the big one: Through the introduction of two new parameters (game and type), files will now automatically be categorized into their appropriate categories, making widescale changes easier and formatting more consistent.
*This is an excellent opportunity to look at all of the files on site and reduce duplicates, fix naming, improve quality, and get specific sources amongst other tasks.

I wouldn't propose this if I didn't have great success in implementing this before. I have completely added this style of template to '''every single file''' on WiKirby, Wars Wiki, Inkipedia, MiiWiki, The Cycle: Frontier, as well as partial completion on Mystery Dungeon Francise Wiki, FamiWiki, and StrategyWiki. I've done it before and I'm more than happy to do it again to get this implemented. I really think that having this upgrade is a valuable resource and helps create consistency both on this site and in conjunction with other wikis as well. [[User_talk:Trig_Jegman/Sandbox|I have a few examples of use cases here]] to understand what it might look like. The new parameters are the following:

*Game — Allows an automatic link to a game, and can work to add automatic categories.
*Type/Meta — These two pull from a determined list of common types (such as Artwork, Screenshots, Amiibo, or User Files) in order to automatically categorize files. The difference between type and meta is that type will categorize based off the game entry (New Leaf sprites), meta will only do off the type (Sprites).
*User — Used for user files or when attributing the source to someone else.
*Author — At the suggestion/request of [[User:SuperHamster|Shams]], useful for creative commons files.
*License — All those licensing templates are here now
*Fandom/Youtube — By setting these to yes, it places files taken from these less than desirable locations into a maintenance category for replacement. 

I'm happy to make more examples, or give breakdowns of how I would go about fixing these, or answer any questions about it. Please let me know how you feel about implementing it on Nookipedia as well! [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 13:22, June 28, 2023 (EDT)

== New Horizons villager box item capitalization ==

{{U|PanchamBro}}'s bot fixed the capitalization of {{NH|short|nolink}} items on almost all villager pages, but since [[Jacob|Jacob/Jakey]] and [[Spork|Spork/Crackle]] have 2 different names, I think the bot skipped over those two.

:* https://help.fandom.com/wiki/Extension:Cargo
:* https://support.wiki.gg/wiki/Cargo
:My personal understanding of it is that the gist of it is that you'll have a template for a type of page with a bunch of input fields. In the template you say that inputs in those fields get stored in a big behind-the-scenes table. You can then create a cargo query table to list specific stuff from that big table on any page you want. For better understanding the template side of things it helps to look at templates that use cargo, and for cargo query tables it helps to look at and compare different pages that use different cargo queries.

== Ideas. ==

1. Project Trivia. A project focused on trivia. I would be happy to lead this project.
2. An Animal Crossing Debate Club.
Thanks, --[[User:SunsetBay|<span style="font-family:Inconsolata;color:#CB6AE7">SunsetBay</span>]] ([[User talk:SunsetBay|<span style="font-family:Inconsolata;color:#E283ED">Talk</span>]]) [[File:Margie NL Villager Icon.png|25px]] 14:29, September 5, 2023 (EDT)

:Going to lean with the former not being necessary. Trivia as a whole is not an inherent ''requirement'' for pages to have, and in many instances (broadly across all wikis, not exclusively here), people get really obsessed with adding trivia points that would much better be served in main article sections like descriptions or are so vague or stretches that they aren't inherently useful—I'd be concerned a project like that would encourage something like that. If the project was to perhaps update and consolidate or re-integrate trivia, I would be more on board.
:The idea of a debate club is cool, but it's not really what a wiki is for. Furthermore, the format of a wiki isn't terribly constructive for a rapid-fire debate club style of writing/conversation. I would suggest joining an Animal Crossing discord (or making your own) for something like this.

== Discussing our proposal system ==

I'm starting to think non-Trustees shouldn't make proposals here. While so far we only had FroggyPotter's recent proposal asking for "one staff to be active at all time", I get this feeling that users not acquainted with policy-making will go to the proposal system for something that isn't a change affecting "a large number of pages or users".

What do you think? Should we limit the creation of proposal to only Trustees or not? -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 16:32, September 5, 2023 (EDT)

*{{Comment}} I probably wouldn't support going that far; I think everyone should have a chance to submit their ideas as a proposal. We could limit to autoconfirmed, but that wouldn't help much.
:I do, however, think there should be an ability for admins to veto proposals that are clearly unnecessary or relate to how the staff operate, like there is on MarioWiki. FroggyPotter's proposal would fall into the latter category.

== Delete single-character species pages ==

There are currently 18 species pages for species that only contain a single character. All of them are no longer than one or two sentences, usually just describing what the character does or what they look like, which is already covered on that character's own article. Therefore, I propose that these pages be redirected to their respective characters' pages. The following pages would be affected by this:
{{Columns-list|
*[[Axolotl]] ([[Dr. Shrunk]])
*[[Camel]] ([[Saharah]])
*[[Fox]] ([[Redd]])
*[[Frill-necked lizard]] ([[Frillard]])
*[[Fur seal]] ([[Phineas]])

:{{Comment}} For the most part, I don't have any attachment to the single-special-character species pages, though it would be a loss for the [[fox]], [[gray langur]], [[peacock]], and [[reindeer]] pages specifically, since those happen to have additional information involving related villagers that are depicted to be the same as those species, in appearance only (e.g. [[Audie]] and [[Chief]] on the fox page). Though that's not to say it means we should keep these species pages, because it's not like there's pages for every unique portrayal of an animal villager species (like zebra for [[Savannah]], flamingo for [[Flora]], etc.), just the villagers that coincidentally line up with special character species. Though I felt like it was worth noting for a fuller picture for the vote. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 03:00, December 21, 2023 (EST)
:{{Support}} I feel there isn't much point in giving a species a dedicated article if there's only one character of said species, cuz there really isn't much (if anything) the species page can cover that the character's article can't (lest we wanna fill 'em with a bunch of real-world info that has no relevancy to the character/series).<br>I also noticed that the axolotl page has an image of its real-life counterpart, with the only other species page with this distinction being [[raccoon]]. Admittedly I question the necessity of these images (mostly the raccoon dog pic, anyway), but I'll save that for different discussion, I just wanted to bring it up.

:{{Comment}} I feel that it ''would'' be a good cleanup, but yeah,  as stated above, some pages show some details, like [[Julia]] resembling a [[Peacock]] or [[Deli]] looking like a gray tangur, although they are listed under different species. '''''[[User:Briky|Briky]]'''''[[File:Emotion Greetings NH Icon.png|30px]] 02:44, January 6, 2024 (EST)
:{{Oppose}} While I get the reasons behind this, I think we shouldn't rule out the possibilities of new characters based on these species in case if future ''Animal Crossing'' games comes around. Case in point: ''New Horizons'' brought several new characters like [[C.J.]], [[Flick]], [[Daisy Mae]] and [[Gullivarrr]], which represents beaver, chameleon, boar and seagull respectively, which prior to ''New Horizons'' also have only one characters. If they didn't get introduced, these species pages might possibly be on jeopardy as well. There's also some trivia but notable mentions like from [[Erik]] and Julia which were easily found in these species pages. For these reasons, I have to disagree with this. <span style="background:linear-gradient(0deg,blue,cyan); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">'''''[[User:Starry Windy|Starry Windy]]'''''</span>[[User talk:Starry Windy|<span style="color:gold">★</span>]] 18:47, January 6, 2024 (EST)
::If more characters in these species are introduced in later games, then we can recreate these pages then. But as it is now, these pages don't offer any information that isn't already on the character's page.

== Use screenshots instead of artwork on special character pages ==

Right now, on special character pages in the "Appearances" sections for each game, we generally have artwork of that character from that game. However, I think screenshots from that game would be much more useful to readers, both in showing how the character appears/works in each game, and to better illustrate what is being described in the prose. I think artwork doesn't really add much and is better suited for the character's gallery page.

:{{Support}} That's the most logical system for portraying the content and how it should consistently be everywhere. I think the only reason why it's not already like that is because of the lack of special character screenshots for each game in the series. [[Blanca]] and [[Katie]] in the older games would be especially difficult. [[User:HylianAngel|HylianAngel]] ([[User talk:HylianAngel|talk]]) 20:38, January 6, 2024 (EST)

== Cantonese spelling ==

I'm not sure if it's alright to create a new section here because I've covered this on several threads before, but I think it would be a good time to discuss which kind of spelling that will be used on Cantonese romanizations. As described on previous threads, I'm not a Cantonese speaker, but I wanted the Cantonese spellings to be filled. The thing is, Cantonese has several known spellings which makes me not sure which one to put in.

You see, Yale romanization and Jyutping are two of the things that I considered. Yale seems to be used in a certain NIWA sites that I know of, like Bulbapedia, and some of the spellings here are Yale-esque. On other side, Jyutping is considered to be newer, and sites like Wiktionary seems to be fond of using it. I'll give some examples for comparison, but I'm taking cues from a certain pinyin converter, so I'm not 100% sure if it's accurate, but here goes:

'''Blathers (傅達)'''<br>
Yale romanization: fuh daaht<br>
Jyutping romanization: fu6 daat6

'''Brewster (老闆)'''<br>
Yale romanization: lóuh báan<br>
Jyutping romanization: lou5 baan2

'''Isabelle (西施惠)'''<br>
Yale romanization: sāi sī waih<br>
Jyutping romanization: sai1 si1 wai6

Now, I've been thinking three options. Option A is to have Yale romanization being used entirely, or Option B where Jyutping is used in all the pages. There's also Option C where Yale and Jyutping romanization being used side by side, even though I'm not sure if infoboxes would allow two of them. Or is there another way to do it? And what do you guys think? Please respond kindly, thanks. <span style="background:linear-gradient(0deg,blue,cyan); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">'''''[[User:Starry Windy|Starry Windy]]'''''</span>[[User talk:Starry Windy|<span style="color:gold">★</span>]] 11:15, January 3, 2024 (EST)
:I'm down to changing how we do romanizations in general. A thing that bothers me is that there aren't many good sites out there that can get us accurate romanizations for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (like any of them really).

::Actually, I think Chinese romanizations are pretty much standardized. For Simplified Chinese, we often use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin Hanyu Pinyin] which is widely used in Mainland China and Singapore according to Wikipedia, and is considered the international standard. And I'm pretty sure we've used this one in practically all articles that has it. Other notable romanizations include [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwoyeu_Romatzyh Gwoyeu Romatzyh] which was used back then but rarely so nowadays, and also Wade-Giles and Yale.

::Speaking of Yale, it has two kinds of romanizations, one for Mandarin and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_romanization_of_Cantonese one for Cantonese]. The latter apparently is still widely used, it's systematic in how things are spelled, which somehow almost mirrors Hanyu Pinyin in some ways. Apart from Yale, I also think of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyutping Jyutping] as systematic spelling. And I haven't even get started on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantonese_Pinyin Cantonese Pinyin], which is a real deal as well. Things to note, the reason I'm not sure on how accurate the Cantonese romanizations are is simply because I didn't learn much on Cantonese yet. <span style="background:linear-gradient(0deg,blue,cyan); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">'''''[[User:Starry Windy|Starry Windy]]'''''</span>[[User talk:Starry Windy|<span style="color:gold">★</span>]] 08:45, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Hi there! I've been playing Animal Crossing: Wild World quite a lot lately and had a villager that was into collecting Old-school furniture.

:{{Oppose}} Sorry, but it's too off-topic for a website that has dedicated itself to making an encyclopedia about Animal Crossing. There's a channel on [[Nookipedia:Discord]] that is much more suitable for memes.

:::They still wouldn't have any use on articles though. You could maybe upload them as personal images if they're not inappropriate.

:::If you're referring to a mainspace page that does allow ''Animal Crossing'' meme images, the closest thing would be the "Pop-culture phenomena" section on the "[[List of Animal Crossing references in other media]]" page, but I feel a meme should have widespread notability to be listed on that page lest it be severely bloated with unnoteworthy memes.

::::How about if you want to post memes it has to be approved by a staff first.
