Talk:Niko

Niko should be listed as a monkey, not a langur

It really doesn't make sense to me why he isn't considered a monkey, when as a langur he's automatically a monkey. It's no different from saying Harriet is a dog when she's specifically stated to be a poodle, which is a type of dog. From what I can gather, this decision was made on the basis that the wiki considers characters like Wilbur Dodos rather than Birds, but that's completely different as far as I'm concerned, as "Birds" as Animal Crossing calls them are basically songbirds, so different from other species that are birds as we would call them. 88.105.80.200 16:53, October 18, 2021 (EDT)

I believe we haven't established a rule regarding the species of each animal, but I can tell you that we've came to the basis that he's a Langur on the Discord. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 17:07, October 18, 2021 (EDT)

I'd be open to hearing your reasoning as to the species designation of special characters, but the argument that 'the species should be as general as possible' is just as arbitrary as 'the species should be as specific as possible'. We try to use in-game text or official sources when making these types of decisions, so individual preference is not the most convincing argument. (talk) 21:22, October 19, 2021 (EDT)

people who run this wiki be like 'let's brand everyone trolls and revert their edits if they tag yoshino's gender, because it hasn't been said officially and we're anal as fuck like that' (even though it's obvious), but at the same time also like 'yeah this is a grey langur, can't you tell?'. they even put his gender. atleast be consistent in your clownery lmao
