New table concerns

We need to verify all the villagers are listed. There are 457 pages in Category:Villagers, so we need to make sure everyone is accounted for. It should also be noted, however, that a certain other wiki notes that there are currently 460 villagers, which means we may have a few villager pages that have not been added to our villagers category (or their count is off). If anyone has any ideas on how to verify the count, do tell... or just go ahead and count them. :P

Next, we need to figure out whether we want to keep the other list pages. I personally think they aren't of much use as you can sort the master list by game if you need to. It may be beneficial to have a list of islanders, a list of special visitors/NPCs, a list of birthdays, and a list of NPC names in foreign languages, which we could link to at the top instead of the lists by game.

Exactly 460 villagers? It could be just rounded-up. To verify the count, we don't have to actually count. Just chunk it; check the corresponding bird pages, smug pages, birthday pages, and so on, and just compare and see who's missing. We really don't need a "list of villagers by game" though, since it's redundant with this list. What's not already listed there can be put into other lists. Finally, one more thing, I'd prefer if we elaborate on the tree icons. Perhaps we can place the game initials in each appearance cell so users don't have to constantly scroll up and down to find which column corresponds to which game, so it would be nice to instantly tell what column is which the further you scroll down.
