Tabs

If somebody could turn the list into tabs like SA suggested a while back, I can't seem to do it with templates. Leem01 04:50, 4 January 2012 (EST)

New Leaf Distributed Items

The mail and mail text format may not work so well with Animal Crossing: New Leaf, since the Post Office distributed all of the items so far in the form of a Present, without an accompanying letter. Perhaps a different format should be considered for New Leaf and other items distributed in this manner? Prince Gumball (talk) 02:54, 20 June 2013 (EDT)

I'd agree with that apart from the fact that the EU Slushie Machine was a Pete letter from Nintendo, maybe we make it an optional field. Leem01 10:53, 31 July 2013 (EDT)

New Leaf DLC Grouping

I'm just going through the New Leaf DLC to update this page, is there any particular order of items we're looking for. At the moment it goes:

- Wi-Fi DLC (June+July) - Best Buy DLC - EU Nintendo Zone DLC

However in the past, we've sorted by date and with the firework's table that came out today, I'm not sure whether to group it with the Rainbow Screen and Palm Tree Lamp or just add it to the bottom. Leem01 07:08, 1 August 2013 (EDT)

Category for images of distributed items?

Most if not all images of distributed items are uncategorized, so maybe we could set up a distributed items category, or maybe even one per game that has them. Of course, that would be low priority to this page, but probably a quick fix if wanted. --Milifilou (talk) 11:47, May 16, 2020 (EDT)

I agree that a 'DLC item' category would be helpful, but soon items will be receiving their own pages, and so this category should be reserved for item pages rather than images. Any uncategorized DLC images that are not isolated (transparent background) should be in Category:Game Name furniture screenshots (e.g. Category:New Leaf furniture screenshots).

Merging regional list pages

Shouldn't the distributed items pages for each region be merged into one page for each game (similar to List of distributed items in New Horizons)? Right now, it's a complete mess. New Leaf distributed items from Europe/Japan aren't in List of distributed items in New Leaf, and City Folk doesn't even have its own page. Additionally, should they be subpages of this page (e.g. Distributed items/New Horizons instead of List of distributed items in New Horizons), similar to the fish/bug pages for each game? If nobody objects, I'll be doing this soon. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 02:34, May 19, 2020 (EDT)

Move to downloadable content

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 City Folk and the DLC villagers in Happy Home Designer and Welcome amiibo). The only alteration that would need to be made to this article is the removal of the section for the original Animal Crossing (since it covers player-to-player codes that are not DLC), but that section would be better suited in an article like multiplayer anyway. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 17:08, January 12, 2021 (EST)
