I'm proposing a move from [[distributed items]] to [[downloadable content]] since the latter is by far the more common term (thus what people would search for more), and not all DLC are items (e.g. the DLC designs in {{CF|short|nolink}} and the DLC villagers in {{HHD|short|nolink}} and {{NLWa|short|nolink}}). The only alteration that would need to be made to this article is the removal of the section for the original {{PG|nolink}} (since it covers player-to-player codes that are not DLC), but that section would be better suited in an article like [[multiplayer]] anyway.

:{{Support}} - I agree that the change to DLC will aid in discoverability. You might also want to include a hatnote at the top of the article to the effect of 'This article documents in-game content distribution in the Animal Crossing series, for the major downloadable content update to Animal Crossing: New Leaf, see Welcome amiibo." Or maybe NLWa should get a section on the page with a link to the main article?

:It's been a while, but I {{Oppose}} to move this to downloadable content. The one key argument against moving to downloadable content is that one of the items in {{NH|short}}, the {{I|Simple DIY Workbench|New Horizons}}, is an existing item that Nintendo will always distribute regardless of if the player has updated or not.

While moving to downloadable content would be logical given the fact that the term is more commonly used than distributed content, there are instances where a distributed item does not necessary come from base-game, and I think some discussion should be addressed before I support moving this page. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 15:53, February 25, 2021 (EST) | :It's been a while, but I {{Oppose}} to move this to downloadable content.

:{{Oppose}} as per PanchamBro. Renaming the page downloadable content would be a bit misleading since it would not be covering non-item-related DLC. While a small section linking to the parent articles could be added, I feel it'd be a better idea to just keep the scope of the article strictly to distributed items. Additionally, removal of the Animal Crossing (GCN) section doesn't seem right to me considering that Nintendo themselves distributed these items through codes from Nintendo Power. Alternatively, I'd like to suggest that [[Downloadable content]] be turned into a disambiguation page that links to Distributed items, the [[Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo|Welcome amiibo update]], [[Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp/Update history|Pocket Camp's update history]] and [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Update history|New Horizon's update history]].
